I was diagnosed with Takotsubo syndrome late December 2021, so still attempting to understand what happened. The cardiologist spoke to me before discharging me with the words that “You are the peculiar woman” and that he was not convinced about Takotsubo as he thinks it has become fashionable. Hence I am left feeling a bit in a void but this discussion has increased my understanding. Thank you to you both for your assistance. May you continue to be motivated to inform the perplexed and worried through your TH-cam channel as you certainly bring light and hope to so many 🙏
Your videos have been a life saver. I have had anxiety that’d make my heart race. A better understanding of what’s going on has helped a lot. I truly thank you. Cheers from New York 🙏🏽✨
Thank you for the video interview. From this have found Heart Collective Australia. So refreshing to hear a woman's experience which has been the same as mine.
Very valuable interview and narrative. I totally agree that even as an active older person, the join deterioration, ostio and irregular heart, other symptoms etc., is a major head ache. Now I just try to keep up excersize and adjust restrictive eating time, plus I have given up butter. I hope they dont put me on too many meds. Let me tell women, just because you're vegan or vegetarian and take vitamins, it doesnt mean you wont have a heart or stroke event. Don't feel shy to get evaluation from your MD
I've had two takotsubos and a diagnosis of microvascular heart disease as well. I just go with the flow and don't really worry about it. I test normal on everything but have chest pain still. I, too, am not overwieght and have no obvious reasons for this condition.
Not heart disease related but I repeatedly went to my doctor telling him I was having loss of strength and numbness in my left arm in a year the symptoms affected the whole left side of my body. The whole time he said it was in my head. I finally went to the ER and refused to leave until I was properly diagnosed. Next day I had emergency surgery in vertebrae 3&4 in my neck. The damage couldn't be completely repaired, I'm disabled. I was 53 at the time. I'm convinced I was dismissed from being taken seriously because I'm a female.
@@JV-tg2ne I'm in the USA but here a specialist won't book an appointment unless your primary care doctor refers you. If I'd seen a neurologist when the symptoms started the nerve damage could have been fully repaired.
Well done. Thank goodness this lovely lady has turned her awful 6 year journey to an endeavor that will benefit women with heart disease. It’s ludicrous after everything she went through, she finally “got validation from a doctor”. Of course a man presenting at a hospital with chest pain would never be asked if he had been experiencing stress. This is an incredible failure in the medical system. Thank you for this insightful conversation.
Thankyou Barbara 🙏 I sincerely hope you regain some more strength and that your charity becomes a beacon for those wanting your care and advice. Thankyou for hosting such a wonderful interview Mr Gupta … listening and learning from NZ 🌻🌻🌻🌻
That's exactly how it is passed from pillar to post.....you are a brilliant consultant to have recognised that which others thought the same....brilliant video ....
Rhondie Badcock Dr you are truly a Specialist who are very concerned about patients.Knowing or understanding them in their own box.That was a good way to explained.Next patient, next patient but you are an expert.
This is so relevant to my experience. I have had heart issues for 12 years but got nothing except dismissal. Last episode I was given a phone call follow up from consultant ( without a time slot )which I missed while on the loo. Never called back and discharge letter stated Msk pain. I have EDS.
Thank you for your excellent advice. I am waiting to see a cardiologist as I have bigeminy and have symptoms that concern me. You explain things so well. I hope as a women I get an answer to my particular problem.
Awesome!! I wud love to know and hear more.. I had a Takotsubo Jan 2018. Wondering what I could do for women here...as I live in NZ. There were many diagnoses of Takotsubo after the earthquake in Christchurch ... will check out your website.. I have started to write a book about my experience.. FABULOUS !! Thank you Dr Gupta 👍😃❤
That's why i love my EP because she has been the only doctor to actively address my hypothyroidism and now that i'm showing symptoms again she has demanded the GP send me to the endocrinologist for review and whatever treatment that's necessary. Also recently i've seen the GP and ER doctors for lain in my right sternoclavicular joint and they can't find anything wrong but i saw a orthopaedic surgeon who said i'm subluxing and it wouldn't show up on an x-ray and that i may be hyper mobile but with covid getting tested is taking awhile to get done.
Many years ago in the 70s as a young man I had what I am now convinced was a takotsubo episode. It was diagnosed as pericarditis. It was after going through a perio of emotional stress and I’ve never had a recurrence.
I have been diagnosed with pericarditis many times. Until last year I was finally told I was having a heart attack and when my arteries were clear the male doctors said oh it must be the pericarditis, luckily a female cardiologist discovered the Takotsubo heart attack. She now treats me and was there when I had my second Takotsubo heart attack. She is now sending me to a heart failure cardiologist who is also female. My hope is they can stop the heart attacks.
Jennifer, I was a wholly holistic person when I became unwell. No pharmaceuticals, gluten and processed sugar free, received massage weekly, strictly organic diet and grew much of my own food, no commercial cleaners in my home, used herbs and diet to nourish my body and those of my children. If only it were this simple. I was still taken down by disease. I continue to practice all of the holistic modalities my own body will allow and use them with my family. But were it not for the intervention of modern Western medicine, I would not be alive to finish raising my children. We absolutely need more wide spread holistic practice, I agree completely. But please use caution in judgement of those you see benefiting from or needing modern medical intervention. It is not always as it appears. Best to you.
@@esearles7839 I have no intention of judging you. I myself use western medicine too. My point is that it’s good to use both in conjunction. East and West together. We can learn much from each other. ❤️
@@jenniferbate9682 please forgive my use of the word “judgement”! I think in this day and age that word has more caustic meaning than I intended. I truly meant it in a more innocent way. ♥️ and I agree with you.
Thank you! I have just been briefly told that I have inflammation & edema in my heart... but still waiting for treatment plan & what it means for me long term... X
My anginastarted 20 years ago, breathless after walking upstairs etc I went to my male gp he put me on an angina tablet, I had been taking it for a week and looking through the patient leaflet inside the tablet box I read that it stated don't take this medication if you have angina at rest which I did as it would wake me from sleeping so I went back to the same gp and told him what the leaflet said and that I was having angina at rest asleep in bed, his reply was no just stayonthe tablets so I did! Then two weeks later I was rushed into hospital with a suspected heart attack luckily I hadn't had one but that angina tablet had caused the rapid heartbeat high bp and pulse etc that wouldn't stop rapidly racing etc, also I have had classic heart disease for 22yrs now yet only that once when I was rushed in hospital has an egg shown any issue and the Dr who examined me in medical admissions (not a cardiologist!) did suggest I might be an anxious person, then probably due to his assumption I wasn't maybe treated for a week until the cardiologist did his rounds and saw the ecg reading which was shocking and I had an angiogram asap which showed a narrowing in a main heart artery and the dr told me if they can't stent this you will need a bypass luckily the stent worked and I do think that the very short length the egg machine takes the reading for and I am female
This is so relevant to my experience. I have had heart issues for 15 years and constantly dismissed.

What does EDS stand for, please? Also may I inquire your age? My good friend has thyroid problems since childhood and recently was dx with Lupus as well!!
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 Hello, sorry for posting twice ( it didn’t show at my end either time)! EDS is a genetic connective tissue disorder ( most of the body is built from connective tissue). The condition has a number of variations and causes, laxity of the joints , so they spontaneously dislocate resulting in great pain, fatigue and arthritis. The skin is extremely fragile and breaks open easily but does not heal well and leaves huge scars. The heart, and digestive system and most organs can be affected. There is no cure and the worst subtype is “ Vascular EDS” in which the blood vessels are so fragile they can spontaneously ruptured at any time even in the young and cause sudden death. Thankyou for asking. It is not as rare as you might think. The mildest is those who are “ very bendy”. I hope your friend gets more speedy and appropriate help than me. I am a retired nurse and Midwife and most of my life has been stolen by bad health and unsuitable/ inappropriate advice. I think I am only alive now because of how I try to manage my condition myself, but the autoimmune stuff had me fooled and it was always told to me my horrible symptoms were EDS. BEST WISHES.
@@mrscpc1918 WOW. That's a whole lot you've had to deal with for many years!! I am a cancer-survivor and though happy to now be cancer-free, (YAY!) the aggressive chemo treatments have left their footprints. Mostly I now have Afib and my digestion is out-of- whack somewhat. I am 66 years old and really never been sick much before thru-out most my life. And Most days now I feel pretty good. Oh!, I almost forgot!, I also had hepatitis C but took the drug Harvoni about 2 years ago, and now my liver is back in the normal range! So all in all I been pretty lucky I guess? I'm hoping you get all the help that's available and start to see things turn around for the better real soon!!🙏💜
I totally support her. But sadly, lately doctors put cardiac issues to mental problems on everyone, even men. I am a man, severe case of unexplained arrhythmias and tachycardia. According to doctors all in my head. Funny thing is it only happens when I mechanically eat (swallowing process) and digestion. They just cannot connect the gut between the hiatus / stomach / bowels and the heart. And I live in the country of Mr Roemheld. So go figure !
In my very limited opinion...do some research on the Vagal nerve.. it impacts both the digestion and cardiac systems ( and others) it is called the " wandering " nerve for a reason. I initially was triggered by certain foods.. but do many Holistic things now...and it's very infrequent now. Vagal toning.. sleep and additional Magnesium citrate have REALLY healped me.. 👍😃❤
eating and digestion should be in rest and digest mode. But that also restricts the bronchi more, so whatever is causing hypertension in the lungs would be exacerbated during parasympathetic mode which may be why you're only seeing symptoms then
I had a Takotsubo event in 2017. My left ventricle went back to normal size, blood clots dissipated and that was that with the doctors. I have been unwell since. I was diognosed with Dysautonomia by Cleveland clinic as I have many many episodes of tachycardia. My life is sad and uneventful now because of my health. I am in the U.S.. And even with these solid DX I still have doctors telling me it's anxiety. My new cardio told me after my echo I was fine I could go shovel snow. I'm in VT now. I told him I was tired of the Gaslighting and he was fired. I no longer go to doctors. I have accepted what ever is wrong with me will kill me and I am powerless to find answers and get help.
This is all too familiar- I was told all of these : breast issues, panic attacks, anxiety, gastro issues, electrosensitivity, musclolskeletal, my own husband doesn’t know what to believe about me. Is it in my head or a nervous system dysfunction? meantime I am being sedated for no good reason. Finally CCB is helping.
I’m glad you had this I’m 69 y/0 diabetic having chest pain and irregular heart rate Waited 7 months to see the doctor after a hospital visit and they saw I have anxiety disorder. Then when I sat in the doctors office for 4 hours and a high blood pressure was told by the doctors with family history I best get a cath and get it done Thursday or Friday . Both days came and went and I called on Monday had to call twice and then they said that doctor went on vacation and did not see the referral to one of the other doctors in the office. They said I was okayed and would call me TuesdAy with the day. It’s now Wednesday and I’m having chest pain with nausea upper arm pain and feeling breathless at these times. But afraid to call 911 as they might think it’s anxiety . And there is a lot of covid out there. I’m going to call the, now. Before 3 o’clock gets here. I just want to know what going on. I don’t smoke neither.
Ecg stress test 2d echo and troponin levels all are normal usg abdomin chest ct normal but having chest pain from one year could you xplain sir please why is this happening??
The same thing happened to my mom and she had surgery to try to fix it but she's in her bed 95% of the time and it's just been a real Burden on my family who we have to take care of her and then my dad got covid and didn't walk for so long that he can't walk anymore and so dealing with my parents right now is a huge Burden I'm trying to figure out how to help her with this heart condition to live some sort of life they are 62 and 64 years old and for some reason they both think they're gonna die soon until they're doing nothing
If you suspect Takotsubo cardiomyopathy syndrome, please have a proper evaluation for pheochromocytoma. Be particularly aware that extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are difficult to detect. The old 90/10/10 "rule" is rubbish. Pheos are much more common than is recognized. Also, some of your symptoms are consistent with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. The microvascular problems could be caused by Kounis syndrome, also associated with unmanaged MCAS. Good luck.
Can you talk about what a “horizontal heart” is, how it happens, what are the consequences of having one? I can’t find anything I can understand online.
I have a cardiologist appointment in a few weeks. I wish this was sooner, last night recorded a Heart rate of 23BPM. I am very worried. Any advice Dr Gupta ?
What are the symptoms of this ? I have low thyroid and high blood pressure also my heart jumps ,speeds up and flutters my doctor put me on a 50 mg bata blocker i take 2 times a day thats supost to stop it from doing that but i take it and my heart still jumps ,speeds up and flutters , iv told him this he just brushes it off , i also have pain in my chest around my heart area he said it wasn't my heart causing it
I did have a stressful event. They arrested my 20yrosons murderer 5 years after his death. This has worked against me. They check that box. It's just another reason to dismiss me. Certainly they blame my sons murder for everything. It's like they use it as an easy target . It infuriates me.
its not "just" a mental health problem ........ physical and mental health problems co-exist. Gastric and cardiology issues co-exist. chronic inflammatory disease ......brain/joint/muscle/heart/lung/gastro is a killer fed by our life styles and stress even if externally slim. Pleased you could be an advocate but keep the options open for a broader approach to health.
Is this condition demands heart replacement I saw a young girl who had this transplant and doing well she is from south India . She played who wants to be a millionaire

I did have a stressful event. They arrested my 20yrosons murderer 5 years after his death. This has worked against me. They check that box. It's just another reason to dismiss me. Certainly they blame my sons murder for everything. It's like they use it as an easy target . It infuriates me.
its not "just" a mental health problem ........ physical and mental health problems co-exist. Gastric and cardiology issues co-exist. chronic inflammatory disease ......brain/joint/muscle/heart/lung/gastro is a killer fed by our life styles and stress even if externally slim. Pleased you could be an advocate but keep the options open for a broader approach to health.
