I get flutters when im nervous due to anxiety, but listening to you and repeating the reassuring words you share, keeps me alive. Thank you so much Dr Sunjay.
You have changed my life. I spent 10 years with health anxiety and because of you my life is slowly changing more and more ❤🙏 your a gift from God. I love you.
I need help with this too :( I have heart palpitations and its been 7 years .. I did many heart tests they say everything is fine but I still have it. I do suffer from panic and health anxiety but the palpitations always happen when Im calm :(
You are from heaven!!! Thank you SO MUCH. As nice as it is to go to the doctor and hear "You're fine, go home", that doesn't make me feel much better when I'm lying in bed at night feeling PVCs and freaking out. Understanding WHY these are happening to me is such a powerful method of calming myself back down. I am one of the people who feel every PVC (which feels like a curse, my father in law has thousands a day and feels none!) and you have helped me to retrain my brain when they happen so I can say "Look, this is just your stomach acting up again, you know it is the vagus nerve connection", and I can settle myself back down much more quickly now. The truth shall set you free! God bless you! Much thanks from Missouri, USA.
Whenever I get a skipped heartbeat, I become really anxious and the vicious circle of skipped heartbeats and anxiety starts. I try to think about different things just to take my mind off that but it rarely works. But since I have been going through your youtube videos, they sort of work for me just like a medicine and I am so thankful to you for that.Your explanations are so much reassuring. Thank You doc.Cheers
The most helpful segment on Anxiety induced ectopic beats I have found. I hope you somehow realise just how much you help people with these crippling concerns. Many thanks
I know this is an older video but I want to say that you are truly a wonderful doctor! I am wondering if you’ve ever had ectopic beats because you seem to understand how disturbing they are and you care so much. Thank you!
Dr. Gupta explained that when we are at rest, our heart rate goes down. That gives our heart more time between beats for ectopics. When we are moving and exercising there is less time between heart beats and less time for ectopics to form. That really helped me..
Why did it take months of searching to find this simple truthful direct explanation??? Good job doc! On all your angles and inputs that can help millions
This 75 year old retired RN loves you. I would really like it if you could bring in the role of the thyroid and also how fibromyalgia plays into this. I am certain they are all related. Thank you so much for what you're doing. You give me great hope for the medical profession.
You’re so lovely....Haven’t had a problem with ectopic heartbeats since I started watching your videos which are incredibly reassuring. Magnesium and potassium did the trick for me THANK YOU! 🥰
Thank you for giving me a piece of mind. i just sat and watched 3 of your videos and did the breathing technique you explained in one of your videos and it actually relived me some. It made me feel even better hearing it from someone who specializes in the heart. i use my apple watch for my ECGs daily and o2 just for a piece of mind. I can not thank you ENOUGH. it's such a scary feeling but to hear that they are not dangerous and just really uncomfortable, it put my mind at ease. I have terrible healthy anxiety. i'm a very anxious person and anxiety takes over my quality of life.
Same here! On your Apple Watch does the ECG ever detect anything ? I get skipped beats and palpitations since I’ve been through extreme stress and this has triggered my anxiety
Even if this doesn’t work for me, I literally love you for trying to help us! Everything you said makes sense to me because I have experienced it before. You are a hero. ❤️
It makes a lot of sense! Thank you again for going deeper in looking for causes and possible remedies that don't rely exclusively on pharmaceuticals. You are such a great role model for a real doctor!!! xx
Thank you so much for another very helpful video.You lower our anxiety levels with your reassuring manner,and explain it all so well so we can understand what's happening to us.I am so grateful ! THANK YOU !!!
Thank you so much. My PVCs are absolutely out of control at the moment. And yes, they make me anxious and a little afraid to do all of my normal activities. And no doctor has ever given me anything like the information you have in your videos. I am going to try the magnesium, the breathing and I am also trying to give up artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame as I have a lot of sugar free gum. Any opinion at all of these substances? Again, thanks so much for the invaluable information from such an authoritative source!
This is exactly what's happening with me and my anxiety. I feel ever beat from the heart and pay extra attention to the rhythm and worry something can go wrong. On another note, I get extra paranoid about any sensations coming from the upper chest area. Regardless of what that sensation is or where it's coming from, as long as it's from the body area, it triggers my anxiety. And then it goes int a loop. Sensation-anxiety-more sensation-more anxiety. It sucks. Here's a question no one seems to know how to answer. Is it the sensations that cause the anxiety or is it the anxiety that came first and created the sensations? Which ever comes first, it's just a horrible feeling.
Same with me, Sam. And I've wondered the same question for years. I actually tend to think it's the sensations that cause the anxiety for me, but that is just my personal observation. I'm sure others may be different. I wish you the best with this, I know that it can be difficult some days.
Taylor Lovato wow, that's extremely fast heart rate. I hope you'll get it control. That heart rate is way too fast even for anxiety. I get very sick when it get over 140bpm. Good luck
Having recently developed Ventricular Ectopics and fast approaching 50, I'm obviously concerned and awaiting a 24 hr ECG. Your videos have been very reassuring, thank you.
Dr Sanjay you are amazing!, I have been suffering with severe PVCs and PACs since developing unprovoked PEs 3 months ago. (Yes I have been told they won’t kill me etc) i came across your videos and I have been watching them for the past three days. I have started taking magnesium, doing the breathing exercises etc and I have to tell you I have more than 50% improved, and finally today had 12 hours of some form of normality!, Thank you SO much, I cannot praise you enough, please keep up your amazing work and helping people like me. ps I’m in Australia, otherwise I’d be making an appointment with you lol.
The breathing tip worked. I was getting so many ectopics tonight and I was going into another panic... and now I haven't had one in nearly 15 minutes. I can finally sleep. Thank you :')
Bless you Dr Gupta, you really are such a generous being and I don't know what we would do without kind sir. An excellent video and certainly makes a great deal of sense. Very many thanks indeed.
I love how this doctor clearly explains everything about heart conditions. He speaks calmly and re assuring. It's so helpful for us who have heart conditions and trying to battle each and every struggles. THANK YOU DR. GUPTA!! 😘🙏
Thank you for researching and explaining. It’s 3am and I’m up from my anxiety and racing heart while lying in bed. I just don’t understand why my heart races as soon as I’m trying to go to sleep. I’m aware of every sensation and it can be scary, I pray all this Subside soon this has been going on for 5 months. I changed my diet more water, I’m starting cardio and magnesium like you said. I come to your page for re assurance and support. Again thank you I pray things go back to normal for me.
Naveen Kumar that’s awesome! That comment I made was a year ago! Praise God I’m In a better health and mindset. I get my days but much better. Hope you are doing well.
Binge watching you because I suffer from this, it's exhausting. I meditate, take Magnesium & they still come out of nowhere at times. I appreciate You so much 💓
Thank you for taking an interest in helping those of us with benign ectopics. I want to encourage your direction and thought process on the hyperventilation. My ectopics kick up with anxiety for sure, but even just baseline anxiety of tightness in my chest and the difference in breathing that accompanies that. Well done. I will pick up a magnesium supplement. Thank you again.
first at all thank you so much. you have helped a lot of people like me who suffer from ectopic and we know how horrible it feels. I have had them since little girl and everybody said I was "nervous" well who isn't in this cray cray society. but I was convinced for my entire life I was either totally nuts or I had a horrible disease nobody knew about 😨
Nothing has helped me more than learning to take slow (not too deep) breaths, and learning to completely relax when exhaling. There's a real reaction from the parasympathetic nervous system when your breathing is relaxed which helped me a lot. If I don't make the effort to relax my breathing like this, I feel my pulse MUCH more, alcohol has a MUCH more negative impact on my rhythm, I feel palpitations much more often and my sleep suffers a lot. Trust me guys, make the effort, its worth it. There's way too much bad advice or incomplete advice out there in regards to breathing exercises. The missing piece is that they never talk about how to "relax your breathing" when you're generally an anxious person. In my case, I tend to carry tension in my lower abdomen, lower back and glutes. Having tensions in these areas makes it IMPOSSIBLE to actually have a relaxed, slow breath, and also a relaxing slow exhalation. Pay attention to where you carry your tension, learn what it feels like to completely relax those areas of your body, then practice keeping those muscles relaxed ALL THE TIME. I've always been very consistent with working out, but have had a small gut as a lot of others do, which led me to subconsciously keep my abs a little tight as not to show that. This is a really bad habit and must be broken first-thing if you're going to even begin to try and keep your breaths natural. When breathing in, imagine the breath filling your abdomen all the way to the bottom (above your groin). Imagine your rib cage expanding in the back, a full 360 degree expansion, but not too sudden, slowly and light. This will make sure your diaphragm can expand as its more of a mental exercise to help you relax. If you cannot easily and slowly breath this way, read above and narrow down exactly which muscles are tense and keeping you from controlling your breaths. When exhaling, don't push the air out, but rather COMPLETELY relax your muscles and let your diaphragm contract on its own. This empties the lungs slowly ands allows the bohr effect to take place and rebalance your carbon/oxygen levels. This comment has gotten kinda long, but if you're going to take anything away from it, really make the effort to understand your muscular tensions. Most of us here are generally anxious to some extent and most likely carry these tensions. Understand them, learn how to relax them and then be absolutely mental about erasing them. You have to constantly be aware of them until they are no longer habits. Habits are hard to break, but not impossible, put the work in and you'll thank yourself later. Another thing I've learned is from studying some of the Buteyko breathing techniques is how important it is to breath in slowly via the nose. Breathing through the mouth is usually faster and leads to chronic hyperventilation, but another little nugget of info is the fact that your nasal passages produce nitric oxide, which is a vasodilator that can help reduce your blood pressure and heart beat just in itself. If you have trouble breathing through your nose because of trauma, or stuffed up from allergies etc, deal with this as soon as possible as it will really help with your quality of life. Consider a neti-pot which might open up your nasal passages and keep them clean and allergen free for a little while. I'm not a doctor, I'm a programmer, so don't take any of this as any kind of medical advice. I'm just a overly analytical person who has spent a lot of time trying to understand why I feel the way I do, and keep a mental journal of how things make me feel and what works/doesn't.
Nick this is excellent advice and I've also found that when I'm feeling anxious I often breathe with shallow breaths. If I slow down and lengthen my exhale, it does calm me down. I also carry my tension in my abdomen and low back and I notice if I'm feeling anxious that I'm most tense there. I am like you and have done lots of research (I'm analytical too) and I think poor breathing habits for years just fuels any anxiety I may have.
@@LisaIrby Exactly, glad my extremely long comment was useful. My life has honestly changed since truly learning how to control my breathing. It's crazy just how many aspects of my life and health poor breathing habits were affecting.
Sanjay, I hope you'll forgive me for focusing on your beauty. This does not take away from the awe and respect I have for your vast knowledge and communication skills. And gratitude that you share them with us for free! What a genius idea - to be able to talk to so many who crave this info. Thank you! The gift is ours. comfort and stress reliever
I have health anxiety and more specifically cardiophobia, I’ve become very inactive because of a couple of chronic health issues but ultimately it’s the fear of a cardiac event. At 32 it doesn’t make me feel very good that I’m trapped by this fear, I’m considering private cardiology tests because I can’t seem to trust my previous tests and various doctors and nurses. I ask for further testing but my requests are denied which just feeds the fear. This video is helpful at least in the short term while my anxiety is in rational resting mode. I would have to save to be able to afford a consultation but these videos will hopefully help
Great video! So in exercise when your most likely breathing harder and faster than normal, you are probably depleting your magnesium levels at least temporarily and consequently experiencing ectopic heartbeats at a greater frequency. You are a fantastic doctor and a most caring individual, God bless.
Thank you for this information! I’ve spent so much money on tests trying to figure this out and your explanation and solution is simple and inexpensive
it is not only the hyperventilation. I believe it has something to do with oxygen level. some people get PVCs when they shallow breathe, or have a stuffy nose, or full stomach. So it is like the heart is asking for more oxygen and it starts to tell us.
I believe it has to do with keeping your breaths natural and relaxed. Too fast, or too shallow, or too deep is unnatural and leads to some sort of imbalance. Learning to let your body be relaxed and breath as much as it naturally needs is probably the best thing you can do.
Hey @salem baotob......i am very anxious person and suffering from generalized anxiety disorder....i feel ectopic beats when iam suffering from cold and blocked nose....otherwise i feel none...and you are right...taking less breath and hyperventilation are the two causes when you feel this ectopics....i hope you too had felt these
I literally just discovered this. I constantly shallow breathe, and I notice that when I concentrate on taking full breaths my anxiety and ectopic beats is greatly reduced.
I wish I lived in the UK so I could visit you. I want a cardiologist that seems to care. Just the fact that you take time out of your schedule to do these videos means a lot. I have ectopic beats along with my POTS but I just hate they way they feel and can't become unafraid. My cardiologist always just says "they're just annoying" . Not very helpful for me.
THANK-you for sharing the connection!! I was having so many ectopic beats-several a minute-my hand suddenly started tingling, so i prayed that I would find something on TH-cam to comfort me, and wallah: this video.🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m SO glad you mentioned the hand tingling thing, tho I don’t think mine was from hyperventilation, bc it happened suddenly in conjunction with some especially aggressive ectopics. And yes, I struggle with general anxiety-induced by a long-term abusive marriage. And yes, I’m hyper aware of all the beats/symptoms.😏 Thanks for your work and free info!🙏🏼🙏🏼 #Sharing😊
Thank you so much for this video I found it most interesting. I have had Paroxismal Atrial Fibrillation for 10 years. Had 3 failed ablations, 3 Cardioversions and a pacemaker fitted 3 months ago in preparation for an AV node ablation. The pacemaker will now stop my heart going too slow (set at 60 BPM). My cardiologist as a last resort is trying to increase the Bisoprolol to help prevent another AF episode and to avoid the AV node procedure if possible. I have had 33 AF episodes so far and have been in hospital 13 times last year. As well as this intollorable condition I have had breast cancer to deal with and an overactive Thyroid. So you could say I am a VERY anxious person and do worry about my health. Since I had my last ablation 4 months ago I do get a lot of ectopic beats which are very distressing. I am told they are missbeats and nothing to worry about, but I DO. I have experienced them as a pre - runner to another AF episode. I am going to try the Magnesium and see if it will help me.I would love to stop this frightening cycle. They tell me that even if I have the AV node ablation I will still experience ectopic beats. Love your videos by the way they are so imformative, thank you so much for your time. How about a regular peek at Bluebell, a definate thumbs up for us all!
@@caroa5097 Hello there and thank you for your concern. Five years later I have now had my AV node ablation and my Pacemaker is now working full time. It has changed my life, no more horrible medication that affected my Thyroid, my skin and my eyes. I can now go away on holidays and haven't been frightened anymore and bundled off to A&E every fortnight. It is truly amazing what the NHS can do fo you these days. I still do worry about my health BUT I am truly grateful and can smile again!
Do you have any videos about how hypothyroidism effects or causes palpitations? I feel like there is a link for me! Also you are very right about anxiety. My pvc’s started after an acute anxiety situation where I was having panic attacks.
Thank you so much! My doc just says don't worry about but I can't help it as I'm a nervous person to begin with and I can't help it. You help me calm myself down after the PVCs happen so thank you soooo much! You have no idea how you have helped me!
I don't understand that when I'm feeling quite relaxed I get a horrific jolt from my heart out of nowhere then I get a few gentler ones in my throat afterwards. I can go a good few weeks without anything, then BAM I get one and I'm full of fear and anxiety. So many years and I've really had enough
Thank you so much for this video im close to tears writing this ive been struggling for weeks with constant eptopics and even though ive been briefly told by the doctor that they are not harmful, to hear it in this depth is so much more positive for me. I have subscribed and will be trying the breathing and magnesium as you have recommended. Many thanks
I have never felt this in my life ever, until. 2 weeks after my very first surgery... csection. Since then I have experienced this 3 times since In the last 8 weeks. I was took to hospital the very first time I felt this as I panicked that much I was breathless, hospital sent me home and told me to speak gp about a 24 hours ecg. I suffer with anxiety so much and do feel this isn’t helping me . Your video has made me feel so much better as I constantly fear I am going to die any minute I’m only 24 years old . X
I'm a former nationally ranked swimmer and I've found that Magnesium + works great for relaxing muscles as well as reducing stress and my PVCs. I take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. Thanks so much for posting your videos; they are very reassuring.
Really interesting thank you. Had a few ectopis recently, and by coincidence, I was trying out the Wim Hof breathing techniques in the morning which basically cause hyperventilation for 15 minutes. Never thought they could be linked! ...food for thought.
I'm so frustrated and sad. I tried to nap, but kept feeling this anxious jitter feeling in my chest. The moment I start to fall asleep it happens. Like an electric jitter of anxiety. I'm so done with pvcs and anxiety affecting my life.
Read my oversized comment above about learning to relax your breathing, and practice this on your back as you're getting ready to nap/sleep. I tend to get these weird jolts as I try to sleep if my breathing is out of whack, or when I've had stress/anger/anxiety filled days from either my work or fighting with a loved one. Keep note of when you get them more often, you might find its on days where you haven't really been your best.
I have no idea why, but I have found that my ectopics are much worse when I'm lying flat. I bought one of those wedge-shaped pillows that they sell for GERD, and I tend to have many fewer ectopics and I am able to fall asleep better when I'm on an incline like that. I have no idea why.
@Living-in Ibiza I go through same thing, hang in there keep watching Dr.'s videos, he's got great advice tips ( theyve helped me a lot ) & God bless you!
Thanks a lot. It’s weird, for 18 years of my life I’d never been conscious of my heart, not one bit, never felt it beat not even during strenuous exercise and anxiety. Then one palpitations episode later and for the last 7 months I’ve felt every heartbeat and I am perpetually aware of my heart beating and skipping beats. I do hope that all this is just me being overly conscious about my heart and I’m all good in the hood.
@@mannysmith7297 My palpitations do actually feel as though my heart has missed a beat as I can tell my checking my pulse, I get the fluttering in the chest as well.
I have a similar issue. I would have occasional PVCs but I got used to these. Doctors told me not to worry. And now I don’t understand why. But I feel every heart beat. I am losing my mind. I’ve had all of the tests and they’ve all come back normal. I just can’t convince myself I’m fine when I’m so aware of my heart.
Namaste Sir !! Thank you sir for your keen advice. It was a my type of video. As I m an ectopic sufferer and a medico as well. I'm a super anxious person, anxious about almost everything in my life. I started experiencing PVCs 3 years back and landed soon to see a cardiologists who told me that I am perfectly fine prescribed me Ivabradine 5mg. I was on medication for 6 months and I was ok then.. But even after 3 years I experience ectopics very often almost once in one or two days. My life is so stucked that I want to quit studying medicine and run to Himalyas. I don't even want to be a doc anymore when I'm already a patient of something that our medical science cannot cure completely....
Doctor Gupta. I’ve been having issues with PVCs for two months now (otherwise healthy/active 40 year old physiotherapist). This was amazing and extremely reassuring. You’re a wonderful person.
Thank you again Dr. Gupta for doing these videos! You are truly a wonderful doctor, and you have once again helped me to better understand my condition. I will now start working on my breathing. I sometimes even think I tend to hold my breath, which may also be a factor. My sincere appreciation goes out to you for making these videos.
I have anxiety disorder and I often catch myself unconsciously holding my breath also! I have read we are "shallow breathers", not good, and I'm trying to work on that thru deep breathing exercises a few times a day. It's helping!! God bless you.
Thx you for all you share to educate us, I am so appreciative and your reassurance is a blessings. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Love your channel Sharing this on Facebook hoping you get lots more subscribers, asking friends to share! Definitely could save lives and take away so much stress in post- heart patients. Thx you
There are similar ideas in Buteyko technique for asthmatic people or by Patrick McKeown who wrote a book about breating and anxiety before The Oxygen Advantage (I forgot the title at the moment though), also Breath by James Nestor, a really interesting book also arguing for the benefits of breathing less and slower.
Anxiety is not a disorder. You are not broken. If you don’t have anxiety, you are dead. It becomes problems when we pair dear with anxiety. We can grow thru this if we can be an observer of our experience, and if we can work on feeling anxiety without fear. Game changer 💗
Yess. Very good Explanation Doc.. would benefit many peoples of ectopic heart beat.. Coz previously i got it for many years.. After practicing balanced wholefood diet that of coz include high ionic free magnesium .. Symptoms gone.. Alhamdulillah.. I like yr video session very much Doc.. searching for scientific facts regarding diseases n dysfunctional symptoms.. Thank you Doc..
Thank you!!!! Living in Michigan has been a very anxiety filled year with all the covid restrictions.I have had heart palpitations and the thought of going to a doctor causes anxiety in itself. Your information and presentation calms my current anxiety and I will watch all your priceless videos.
Love how you present this info. I have had heart rythum issues for 25 years. Drs. Just say it is benign sinus arrhythmia. Whenever I have an event I drink carbonated drink to porduce a burp or belch. Has always brought my event to an end. Yesterday heart started beating about 140 to 160 bpm and lasted 20 hours. Went to bed rolled over on my left side and the pulse went back to 65. Drives me nuts but still don't want to go through a lot of tests or surgery at 85. Your information has been so reassuring. I do take Lisinapril for BP, is there a better choice?
Thank you so much for these videos. It drastically effects my quality of life. It also effects my family. You have been so informative and helpful for me. Who would think that i would get more help and information from TH-cam than from my own doctor lol
I thankfully figured this out for myself. I figured it out through sort of shameful means, I was dabbling with hard drugs, particularly MDMA and LSD and heard that Magnesium could lessen the muscle tension from said substances, I figured if it can help quell such acute tension, surely it has some uses in someone with normal tension - I tried it and low and behold, most of my physical anxiety symptoms died off, now i've started taking D3, zinc, fish oils etc. and i've come out of the depression I was in and my anxiety is lessening, but the magnesium started it all off. Having said that, this video really give me even more faith in the beautiful mineral. Your video's are always so reassuring and full of genuine, honest facts and no BS. It's so sorely needed for Professionals like yourself to reach out to people in such a friendly, informative way. It means a hell of a lot, at least to me but I imagine everyone here as well. Please keep up the great work and if you ever decide to stop, thanks for the video's you've made so far!
my anxiety is trickered by the heart symptoms. Not so much the other way around. And magnesium supplements doesn't help. I will definately be aware of my breating next time my anxiety gets trickered, which is close to every day. Thank you for great explanations. Your guidance is a gift.
Thank you so very much for the information you give us. I suffer with uncontrolled epilepsy and I had a missed beat now and then and was told that it was not dangerous and that drinking too much coffee can course it. I now no longer drink coffee and the missed beat has gone. I do know that because of my epilepsy my anxiety was very high at times, after having a few years of counciling my anxiety is more in control.
Thanks...again! Regarding breathing. I am new to dealing with the palps, and last night (night 2 of this issue), I went to bed with some palps...but fell asleep with my head on my husband's chest, to listen to his beat, as a distraction and comfort from focusing on my own. My heart settled down and then I fell asleep. When I woke I didnt have any palps. I think it's because when I was sleeping my breathing was calm. I had a nice day of not being 'terrorized' by palps, due to not having them or not noticing them. Then came night and I felt anxious that the palps would return when I go to bed. They did!!!! However, if I lay in a certain side type position and don't focus on them...like now texting this, I haven't noticed even one this whole time. Btw...I have magnesium glycinate being delivered tomorrow. When I went to the emergency room yesterday afternoon the dr went over my tests, basically brushed the palps off as anxiety (which I agree), but did set me up to have an appointment for a halter, just to have more information, since a 6 sec EKG, tho did show a palp, doesn't say much. I told him I would be taking magnesium, and he just said "sure". Google thing for Dr Google, so I could know which are the best to get, dosage, frequency and when is best to take them (including what not to take them with). Dr Gupta, thank you for blessing so many people with information, hope, calmness and confidence. 🌻
I really enjoyed this video and found it tremendously helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping all of us with these palps!! Also, I would recommend getting more active on instagram to grow your channel. Instagram (for me at least) seems to be the way to go! ~~Mary :)
Great video....recently added magnesium again along with potassium and finally able to get back into swimming aiming about 45 minutes slow swimming 3 times a week....I come from a long line of worrier's on both sides so trying to tame the beast !!!!! Thank you ! Corie
I get flutters when im nervous due to anxiety, but listening to you and repeating the reassuring words you share, keeps me alive. Thank you so much Dr Sunjay.

I need help with this too :( I have heart palpitations and its been 7 years .. I did many heart tests they say everything is fine but I still have it. I do suffer from panic and health anxiety but the palpitations always happen when Im calm :(
You are from heaven!!! Thank you SO MUCH. As nice as it is to go to the doctor and hear "You're fine, go home", that doesn't make me feel much better when I'm lying in bed at night feeling PVCs and freaking out.

I am one of the people who feel every PVC (which feels like a curse, my father in law has thousands a day and feels none!) and you have helped me to retrain my brain when they happen so I can say "Look, this is just your stomach acting up again, you know it is the vagus nerve connection", and I can settle myself back down much more quickly now.

How many a min would u say you’d get? Are u still getting them?

@@hikarihealing1726 it is a more of a feeling rather than sound
The most helpful segment on Anxiety induced ectopic beats I have found. I hope you somehow realise just how much you help people with these crippling concerns. Many thanks
Thank you so much! I wish you were my doctor! You are so compassionate and obviously a kind and caring doctor!
You are genuinely the best Doctor out there! God Bless you!
Yes l totally agree with you xxx
I know this is an older video but I want to say that you are truly a wonderful doctor! I am wondering if you’ve ever had ectopic beats because you seem to understand how disturbing they are and you care so much. Thank you!
Dr. Gupta explained that when we are at rest, our heart rate goes down. That gives our heart more time between beats for ectopics. When we are moving and exercising there is less time between heart beats and less time for ectopics to form. That really helped me..
Why did it take months of searching to find this simple truthful direct explanation??? Good job doc! On all your angles and inputs that can help millions
Dang it feels good to know that I’m not alone it this whole chest pain anxiety 😌
What a gentleman. Thank you for taking your time to explain such a worrisome issue.
This 75 year old retired RN loves you. I would really like it if you could bring in the role of the thyroid and also how fibromyalgia plays into this. I am certain they are all related. Thank you so much for what you're doing. You give me great hope for the medical profession.
Yes! Completely agree
You’re so lovely....Haven’t had a problem with ectopic heartbeats since I started watching your videos which are incredibly reassuring.
Magnesium and potassium did the trick for me THANK YOU! 🥰

It made me feel even better hearing it from someone who specializes in the heart. i use my apple watch for my ECGs daily and o2 just for a piece of mind. I can not thank you ENOUGH. it's such a scary feeling but to hear that they are not dangerous and just really uncomfortable, it put my mind at ease. I have terrible healthy anxiety. i'm a very anxious person and anxiety takes over my quality of life.
Same here! On your Apple Watch does the ECG ever detect anything ? I get skipped beats and palpitations since I’ve been through extreme stress and this has triggered my anxiety
You videos are great medicine for people who are anxious about their heart health. Thank you.
thanks Joshua!
Even if this doesn’t work for me, I literally love you for trying to help us! Everything you said makes sense to me because I have experienced it before. You are a hero. ❤️
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us navigate through this.
It makes a lot of sense! Thank you again for going deeper in looking for causes and possible remedies that don't rely exclusively on pharmaceuticals. You are such a great role model for a real doctor!!! xx
Thank you so much for another very helpful video.You lower our anxiety levels with your reassuring manner,and explain it all so well so we can understand what's happening to us.I am so grateful ! THANK YOU !!!
Seriously, thank you. Wish all doctors would take the time to explain things like you !
Thank you so much. My PVCs are absolutely out of control at the moment. And yes, they make me anxious and a little afraid to do all of my normal activities. And no doctor has ever given me anything like the information you have in your videos. I am going to try the magnesium, the breathing and I am also trying to give up artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame as I have a lot of sugar free gum. Any opinion at all of these substances?
Again, thanks so much for the invaluable information from such an authoritative source!
I think you have hit the nail squarely on the head! Ectopics always appear when anxious. Belly breathing is key! You are the bomb! Thank you!
This is exactly what's happening with me and my anxiety. I feel ever beat from the heart and pay extra attention to the rhythm and worry something can go wrong. On another note, I get extra paranoid about any sensations coming from the upper chest area. Regardless of what that sensation is or where it's coming from, as long as it's from the body area, it triggers my anxiety. And then it goes int a loop. Sensation-anxiety-more sensation-more anxiety. It sucks. Here's a question no one seems to know how to answer. Is it the sensations that cause the anxiety or is it the anxiety that came first and created the sensations? Which ever comes first, it's just a horrible feeling.
Well said and same here!!!
Same with me, Sam. And I've wondered the same question for years. I actually tend to think it's the sensations that cause the anxiety for me, but that is just my personal observation. I'm sure others may be different. I wish you the best with this, I know that it can be difficult some days.
Gary Lucas I also thought the same at time. Regardless which comes first, it goes in a cycle and that's horrible.
The circle of hell.... :-(
Taylor Lovato wow, that's extremely fast heart rate. I hope you'll get it control. That heart rate is way too fast even for anxiety. I get very sick when it get over 140bpm. Good luck
Having recently developed Ventricular Ectopics and fast approaching 50, I'm obviously concerned and awaiting a 24 hr ECG. Your videos have been very reassuring, thank you.
"oh, it's benign, don't worry about it" EXACTLY what my cardiologist said. I think I love you. ;-)
Dr Sanjay you are amazing!, I have been suffering with severe PVCs and PACs since developing unprovoked PEs 3 months ago. (Yes I have been told they won’t kill me etc) i came across your videos and I have been watching them for the past three days. I have started taking magnesium, doing the breathing exercises etc and I have to tell you I have more than 50% improved, and finally today had 12 hours of some form of normality!, Thank you SO much, I cannot praise you enough, please keep up your amazing work and helping people like me. ps I’m in Australia, otherwise I’d be making an appointment with you lol.
how kind thank you!!! you can speak with me via Skype www.yorkcardiology.co.uk
The breathing tip worked. I was getting so many ectopics tonight and I was going into another panic... and now I haven't had one in nearly 15 minutes. I can finally sleep. Thank you :')
Explain
Bless you Dr Gupta, you really are such a generous being and I don't know what we would do without kind sir. An excellent video and certainly makes a great deal of sense. Very many thanks indeed.
I love how this doctor clearly explains everything about heart conditions. He speaks calmly and re assuring. It's so helpful for us who have heart conditions and trying to battle each and every struggles. THANK YOU DR. GUPTA!! 😘🙏
Humming has been the most effective for me; when it starts, humming shuts it down almost immediately.
Thank you Dr. Gupta. I hope that you continue to make these wonderful videos. You have no idea how much you have helped me!
Thank you for researching and explaining. It’s 3am and I’m up from my anxiety and racing heart while lying in bed. I just don’t understand why my heart races as soon as I’m trying to go to sleep. I’m aware of every sensation and it can be scary, I pray all this Subside soon this has been going on for 5 months. I changed my diet more water, I’m starting cardio and magnesium like you said. I come to your page for re assurance and support. Again thank you I pray things go back to normal for me.
Brandy Lee but how about when you workout?
How do uI feel now days I have the same symptoms they keep me awake for night s on end
Got same problem from past one month,now taking beat blockers at night, feeling little better than before
Naveen Kumar that’s awesome! That comment I made was a year ago! Praise God I’m
In a better health and mindset. I get my days but much better. Hope you are doing well.
yes i had at night bevore falling in sleep fast heart beat,now i have those ecoptic daily,and no more racing heart,
This was very interesting and completely makes sense!! Thank you so much. A brilliant video as always!
Your a god send. How many consultants give up their time to give answers to people who are suffering. Thank you
thank you so much York cardiologist, you made me feel a lot better
Binge watching you because I suffer from this, it's exhausting.
I meditate, take Magnesium & they still come out of nowhere at times.
I appreciate You so much 💓
It's prob because we are virgos im the same , virgo and sensitive , get bad anxiety
@@gedman9527 thank you, sometimes it's confirmation to hear someone else relate
Thank you for taking an interest in helping those of us with benign ectopics. I want to encourage your direction and thought process on the hyperventilation. My ectopics kick up with anxiety for sure, but even just baseline anxiety of tightness in my chest and the difference in breathing that accompanies that. Well done. I will pick up a magnesium supplement. Thank you again.
first at all thank you so much. you have helped a lot of people like me who suffer from ectopic and we know how horrible it feels. I have had them since little girl and everybody said I was "nervous" well who isn't in this cray cray society. but I was convinced for my entire life I was either totally nuts or I had a horrible disease nobody knew about 😨
Going to the doctor give me anxiety, but since I start watching your video I feel I bit more relax .
Thank u very much.
Love your videos. Other Doctors and Cardiologists could learn a lot from You.
Nothing has helped me more than learning to take slow (not too deep) breaths, and learning to completely relax when exhaling. There's a real reaction from the parasympathetic nervous system when your breathing is relaxed which helped me a lot. If I don't make the effort to relax my breathing like this, I feel my pulse MUCH more, alcohol has a MUCH more negative impact on my rhythm, I feel palpitations much more often and my sleep suffers a lot. Trust me guys, make the effort, its worth it. There's way too much bad advice or incomplete advice out there in regards to breathing exercises. The missing piece is that they never talk about how to "relax your breathing" when you're generally an anxious person. In my case, I tend to carry tension in my lower abdomen, lower back and glutes. Having tensions in these areas makes it IMPOSSIBLE to actually have a relaxed, slow breath, and also a relaxing slow exhalation. Pay attention to where you carry your tension, learn what it feels like to completely relax those areas of your body, then practice keeping those muscles relaxed ALL THE TIME. I've always been very consistent with working out, but have had a small gut as a lot of others do, which led me to subconsciously keep my abs a little tight as not to show that. This is a really bad habit and must be broken first-thing if you're going to even begin to try and keep your breaths natural.
When breathing in, imagine the breath filling your abdomen all the way to the bottom (above your groin). Imagine your rib cage expanding in the back, a full 360 degree expansion, but not too sudden, slowly and light. This will make sure your diaphragm can expand as its more of a mental exercise to help you relax. If you cannot easily and slowly breath this way, read above and narrow down exactly which muscles are tense and keeping you from controlling your breaths. When exhaling, don't push the air out, but rather COMPLETELY relax your muscles and let your diaphragm contract on its own. This empties the lungs slowly ands allows the bohr effect to take place and rebalance your carbon/oxygen levels.
This comment has gotten kinda long, but if you're going to take anything away from it, really make the effort to understand your muscular tensions. Most of us here are generally anxious to some extent and most likely carry these tensions. Understand them, learn how to relax them and then be absolutely mental about erasing them. You have to constantly be aware of them until they are no longer habits. Habits are hard to break, but not impossible, put the work in and you'll thank yourself later.
Another thing I've learned is from studying some of the Buteyko breathing techniques is how important it is to breath in slowly via the nose. Breathing through the mouth is usually faster and leads to chronic hyperventilation, but another little nugget of info is the fact that your nasal passages produce nitric oxide, which is a vasodilator that can help reduce your blood pressure and heart beat just in itself. If you have trouble breathing through your nose because of trauma, or stuffed up from allergies etc, deal with this as soon as possible as it will really help with your quality of life. Consider a neti-pot which might open up your nasal passages and keep them clean and allergen free for a little while.
I'm not a doctor, I'm a programmer, so don't take any of this as any kind of medical advice. I'm just a overly analytical person who has spent a lot of time trying to understand why I feel the way I do, and keep a mental journal of how things make me feel and what works/doesn't.
Nick this is excellent advice and I've also found that when I'm feeling anxious I often breathe with shallow breaths. If I slow down and lengthen my exhale, it does calm me down. I also carry my tension in my abdomen and low back and I notice if I'm feeling anxious that I'm most tense there. I am like you and have done lots of research (I'm analytical too) and I think poor breathing habits for years just fuels any anxiety I may have.
@@LisaIrby Exactly, glad my extremely long comment was useful. My life has honestly changed since truly learning how to control my breathing. It's crazy just how many aspects of my life and health poor breathing habits were affecting.
I agree with you.
Sanjay, I hope you'll forgive me for focusing on your beauty. This does not take away from the awe and respect I have for your vast knowledge and communication skills. And gratitude that you share them with us for free! What a genius idea - to be able to talk to so many who crave this info. Thank you! The gift is ours.
comfort and stress reliever
I have health anxiety and more specifically cardiophobia, I’ve become very inactive because of a couple of chronic health issues but ultimately it’s the fear of a cardiac event. At 32 it doesn’t make me feel very good that I’m trapped by this fear, I’m considering private cardiology tests because I can’t seem to trust my previous tests and various doctors and nurses. I ask for further testing but my requests are denied which just feeds the fear. This video is helpful at least in the short term while my anxiety is in rational resting mode. I would have to save to be able to afford a consultation but these videos will hopefully help
How are you ? I can’t relate
Great video! So in exercise when your most likely breathing harder and faster than normal, you are probably depleting your magnesium levels at least temporarily and consequently experiencing ectopic heartbeats at a greater frequency. You are a fantastic doctor and a most caring individual, God bless.
i notice my ectopic bears when resting at normal heart rate like 60 or 70,when im do brisk walking then i dont feel them
Thank you for this information! I’ve spent so much money on tests trying to figure this out and your explanation and solution is simple and inexpensive
it is not only the hyperventilation. I believe it has something to do with oxygen level. some people get PVCs when they shallow breathe, or have a stuffy nose, or full stomach. So it is like the heart is asking for more oxygen and it starts to tell us.
I believe it has to do with keeping your breaths natural and relaxed. Too fast, or too shallow, or too deep is unnatural and leads to some sort of imbalance. Learning to let your body be relaxed and breath as much as it naturally needs is probably the best thing you can do.
Hey @salem baotob......i am very anxious person and suffering from generalized anxiety disorder....i feel ectopic beats when iam suffering from cold and blocked nose....otherwise i feel none...and you are right...taking less breath and hyperventilation are the two causes when you feel this ectopics....i hope you too had felt these
I find if I’m tense or concentrating I shallow breath and that seems to make them worse so yes there appears to be some breathing link
I literally just discovered this. I constantly shallow breathe, and I notice that when I concentrate on taking full breaths my anxiety and ectopic beats is greatly reduced.
This is so true!!! I noticed when I’m anxious I tense up my chest
Thank you sooo much for your information..it has really calmed me down..many PAC and PVC..but understand better to handle it HUGS to you
I wish I lived in the UK so I could visit you. I want a cardiologist that seems to care. Just the fact that you take time out of your schedule to do these videos means a lot. I have ectopic beats along with my POTS but I just hate they way they feel and can't become unafraid. My cardiologist always just says "they're just annoying" . Not very helpful for me.
How are you now ?
THANK-you for sharing the connection!!
I was having so many ectopic beats-several a minute-my hand suddenly started tingling, so i prayed that I would find something on TH-cam to comfort me, and wallah: this video.🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m SO glad you mentioned the hand tingling thing, tho I don’t think mine was from hyperventilation, bc it happened suddenly in conjunction with some especially aggressive ectopics. And yes, I struggle with general anxiety-induced by a long-term abusive marriage. And yes, I’m hyper aware of all the beats/symptoms.😏
Thanks for your work and free info!🙏🏼🙏🏼 #Sharing😊
How are you now?
i do get them to 5 or y in minutes its scary,dont know is it from anxiety or from digestive problems,have ibs gerd
Thank you so much for this video I found it most interesting. I have had Paroxismal Atrial Fibrillation for 10 years. Had 3 failed ablations, 3 Cardioversions and a pacemaker fitted 3 months ago in preparation for an AV node ablation. The pacemaker will now stop my heart going too slow (set at 60 BPM). My cardiologist as a last resort is trying to increase the Bisoprolol to help prevent another AF episode and to avoid the AV node procedure if possible. I have had 33 AF episodes so far and have been in hospital 13 times last year. As well as this intollorable condition I have had breast cancer to deal with and an overactive Thyroid. So you could say I am a VERY anxious person and do worry about my health. Since I had my last ablation 4 months ago I do get a lot of ectopic beats which are very distressing. I am told they are missbeats and nothing to worry about, but I DO. I have experienced them as a pre - runner to another AF episode. I am going to try the Magnesium and see if it will help me.I would love to stop this frightening cycle. They tell me that even if I have the AV node ablation I will still experience ectopic beats. Love your videos by the way they are so imformative, thank you so much for your time. How about a regular peek at Bluebell, a definate thumbs up for us all!
Magnesium helped me
So sorry you've been through so much.
@@caroa5097 Hello there and thank you for your concern. Five years later I have now had my AV node ablation and my Pacemaker is now working full time. It has changed my life, no more horrible medication that affected my Thyroid, my skin and my eyes. I can now go away on holidays and haven't been frightened anymore and bundled off to A&E every fortnight. It is truly amazing what the NHS can do fo you these days. I still do worry about my health BUT I am truly grateful and can smile again!
@@catwoman3680 thank you sorry I didn't see this reply but wonderful that this has helped so much. Gives me some hope too 😊
Thank you so much for this. This really helps a lot of us who suffer from PVCs.
Do you have any videos about how hypothyroidism effects or causes palpitations? I feel like there is a link for me! Also you are very right about anxiety. My pvc’s started after an acute anxiety situation where I was having panic attacks.
U can cure this with going on a alkaline diet thank me later
Thank you. Following everything you say on ectopics. 🌹
Thank you so much! My doc just says don't worry about but I can't help it as I'm a nervous person to begin with and I can't help it. You help me calm myself down after the PVCs happen so thank you soooo much! You have no idea how you have helped me!
I don't understand that when I'm feeling quite relaxed I get a horrific jolt from my heart out of nowhere then I get a few gentler ones in my throat afterwards. I can go a good few weeks without anything, then BAM I get one and I'm full of fear and anxiety. So many years and I've really had enough
Shell Howse i suffer from this too, how is IT now?
E30 Virex dead
Jai Laj nice
@@jl3072 why ?
I feel them in my throat too.
You are a great Dr I pray that you get eternal strength and courage to help the people thank you very much
Yes! I suffer from ectopics and anxiety is a very big part of my life. I agree that anxiety is our common trouble
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I wish I would have discovered you awhile back!!
Thanks a million for all your videos, so helpful. You are the best and we all appreciate you.
Thank you so much for this video im close to tears writing this ive been struggling for weeks with constant eptopics and even though ive been briefly told by the doctor that they are not harmful, to hear it in this depth is so much more positive for me. I have subscribed and will be trying the breathing and magnesium as you have recommended. Many thanks
Did it help you?
I have never felt this in my life ever, until. 2 weeks after my very first surgery... csection. Since then I have experienced this 3 times since In the last 8 weeks. I was took to hospital the very first time I felt this as I panicked that much I was breathless, hospital sent me home and told me to speak gp about a 24 hours ecg. I suffer with anxiety so much and do feel this isn’t helping me . Your video has made me feel so much better as I constantly fear I am going to die any minute I’m only 24 years old . X
I'm a former nationally ranked swimmer and I've found that Magnesium + works great for relaxing muscles as well as reducing stress and my PVCs. I take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. Thanks so much for posting your videos; they are very reassuring.
Any type of magnesium??
Really interesting thank you. Had a few ectopis recently, and by coincidence, I was trying out the Wim Hof breathing techniques in the morning which basically cause hyperventilation for 15 minutes. Never thought they could be linked! ...food for thought.
This doctor seems like he would make such a great friend. However, I would constantly bother him with questions!😂
I'm so frustrated and sad. I tried to nap, but kept feeling this anxious jitter feeling in my chest. The moment I start to fall asleep it happens. Like an electric jitter of anxiety. I'm so done with pvcs and anxiety affecting my life.
I get that electrical feeling at night to. Are you taking anything for it?
Read my oversized comment above about learning to relax your breathing, and practice this on your back as you're getting ready to nap/sleep. I tend to get these weird jolts as I try to sleep if my breathing is out of whack, or when I've had stress/anger/anxiety filled days from either my work or fighting with a loved one. Keep note of when you get them more often, you might find its on days where you haven't really been your best.
I have no idea why, but I have found that my ectopics are much worse when I'm lying flat. I bought one of those wedge-shaped pillows that they sell for GERD, and I tend to have many fewer ectopics and I am able to fall asleep better when I'm on an incline like that. I have no idea why.
Hello Rebeca I hear ya hang in there & God bless you hope you feel better!
@Living-in Ibiza I go through same thing, hang in there keep watching Dr.'s videos, he's got great advice tips ( theyve helped me a lot ) & God bless you!
Thanks a lot.
It’s weird, for 18 years of my life I’d never been conscious of my heart, not one bit, never felt it beat not even during strenuous exercise and anxiety. Then one palpitations episode later and for the last 7 months I’ve felt every heartbeat and I am perpetually aware of my heart beating and skipping beats. I do hope that all this is just me being overly conscious about my heart and I’m all good in the hood.
How are you now and could you describe what the skipping heart beat feels like? Like does it actually feel like your heart stops then starts again?
@@mannysmith7297 it feels like a flutter or a thud in the throat
@@mannysmith7297
My palpitations do actually feel as though my heart has missed a beat as I can tell my checking my pulse, I get the fluttering in the chest as well.
@@angpassero7387 what has helped you?
I have a similar issue. I would have occasional PVCs but I got used to these. Doctors told me not to worry. And now I don’t understand why. But I feel every heart beat. I am losing my mind. I’ve had all of the tests and they’ve all come back normal. I just can’t convince myself I’m fine when I’m so aware of my heart.
Namaste Sir !!
Thank you sir for your keen advice. It was a my type of video.
As I m an ectopic sufferer and a medico as well. I'm a super anxious person, anxious about almost everything in my life. I started experiencing PVCs 3 years back and landed soon to see a cardiologists who told me that I am perfectly fine prescribed me Ivabradine 5mg. I was on medication for 6 months and I was ok then..
But even after 3 years I experience ectopics very often almost once in one or two days.
My life is so stucked that I want to quit studying medicine and run to Himalyas. I don't even want to be a doc anymore when I'm already a patient of something that our medical science cannot cure completely....
How are you now?
Hi ectopic matlab kya hota hai mujhe miss beat hoti hai plz tell me
I think your great I do suffer from anxiety and your videos seem to help me with this. can hormones affect anxitey and palpitations? thanks
Thank you for this information, Your personal consultation was worth every Penny.. Thank you again
Dr. Sanjay.... you are such a lovely person..... 🤗👍🏻😘
how kind Patti,,, thanks!
Your channel and videos are so helpful to so many people. Thank you.
This helped me so much Doc... Had immediate improvement with the breathing technique... appreciate the advice
Doctor Gupta. I’ve been having issues with PVCs for two months now (otherwise healthy/active 40 year old physiotherapist). This was amazing and extremely reassuring. You’re a wonderful person.
Thankyou so much for this video. This is an eye opener.
Thank you again Dr. Gupta for doing these videos! You are truly a wonderful doctor, and you have once again helped me to better understand my condition. I will now start working on my breathing. I sometimes even think I tend to hold my breath, which may also be a factor. My sincere appreciation goes out to you for making these videos.
I have anxiety disorder and I often catch myself unconsciously holding my breath also! I have read we are "shallow breathers", not good, and I'm trying to work on that thru deep breathing exercises a few times a day. It's helping!! God bless you.
Thx you for all you share to educate us, I am so appreciative and your reassurance is a blessings. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Love your channel
Sharing this on Facebook hoping you get lots more subscribers, asking friends to share!
Definitely could save lives and take away so much stress in post- heart patients.
Thx you
It answers lot of my questions. Thanks a million
Taking about 600mg a day at the moment and still get them, but less frequent. Thank you for encouraging us to try!
There are similar ideas in Buteyko technique for asthmatic people or by Patrick McKeown who wrote a book about breating and anxiety before The Oxygen Advantage (I forgot the title at the moment though), also Breath by James Nestor, a really interesting book also arguing for the benefits of breathing less and slower.
Anxiety is not a disorder. You are not broken. If you don’t have anxiety, you are dead. It becomes problems when we pair dear with anxiety. We can grow thru this if we can be an observer of our experience, and if we can work on feeling anxiety without fear. Game changer 💗
Very well said, thank you! 😺
Thank you. Q10 is also of great help. Hawthorn tea too.
Yess. Very good Explanation Doc.. would benefit many peoples of ectopic heart beat.. Coz previously i got it for many years.. After practicing balanced wholefood diet that of coz include high ionic free magnesium .. Symptoms gone.. Alhamdulillah..
I like yr video session very much Doc.. searching for scientific facts regarding diseases n dysfunctional symptoms.. Thank you Doc..
hello what diet are you on,and which magnesium do you take how much mg a day?
Thank you!!!! Living in Michigan has been a very anxiety filled year with all the covid restrictions.I have had heart palpitations and the thought of going to a doctor causes anxiety in itself. Your information and presentation calms my current anxiety and I will watch all your priceless videos.
Love how you present this info. I have had heart rythum issues for 25 years. Drs. Just say it is benign sinus arrhythmia. Whenever I have an event I drink carbonated drink to porduce a burp or belch. Has always brought my event to an end.
Yesterday heart started beating about 140 to 160 bpm and lasted 20 hours. Went to bed rolled over on my left side and the pulse went back to 65. Drives me nuts but still don't want to go through a lot of tests or surgery at 85. Your information has been so reassuring. I do take Lisinapril for BP, is there a better choice?
Thank you so much for these videos. It drastically effects my quality of life. It also effects my family. You have been so informative and helpful for me. Who would think that i would get more help and information from TH-cam than from my own doctor lol
I thankfully figured this out for myself. I figured it out through sort of shameful means, I was dabbling with hard drugs, particularly MDMA and LSD and heard that Magnesium could lessen the muscle tension from said substances, I figured if it can help quell such acute tension, surely it has some uses in someone with normal tension - I tried it and low and behold, most of my physical anxiety symptoms died off, now i've started taking D3, zinc, fish oils etc. and i've come out of the depression I was in and my anxiety is lessening, but the magnesium started it all off.
Having said that, this video really give me even more faith in the beautiful mineral. Your video's are always so reassuring and full of genuine, honest facts and no BS. It's so sorely needed for Professionals like yourself to reach out to people in such a friendly, informative way. It means a hell of a lot, at least to me but I imagine everyone here as well. Please keep up the great work and if you ever decide to stop, thanks for the video's you've made so far!
Great video!. Which magnesium supplement do you recommend? It's no longer on your web site! Thanks!
@PAFinch Hello, did you find out
@Garavani7 no. Unfortunately not. Biglycinate is the most bioavailable and good for sleep etc.
Thanks Dr. Sanjay. You are God sent.
my anxiety is trickered by the heart symptoms. Not so much the other way around. And magnesium supplements doesn't help. I will definately be aware of my breating next time my anxiety gets trickered, which is close to every day. Thank you for great explanations. Your guidance is a gift.
so what kind of magnesium he recommends?
Thank you so very much for the information you give us. I suffer with uncontrolled epilepsy and I had a missed beat now and then and was told that it was not dangerous and that drinking too much coffee can course it. I now no longer drink coffee and the missed beat has gone. I do know that because of my epilepsy my anxiety was very high at times, after having a few years of counciling my anxiety is more in control.
Watched this again tonite..
Hi doc! I love your videos, they are very enlightening. I should let you know that magnesium has helped me with my palpitations
What type do u take
Thanks...again! Regarding breathing. I am new to dealing with the palps, and last night (night 2 of this issue), I went to bed with some palps...but fell asleep with my head on my husband's chest, to listen to his beat, as a distraction and comfort from focusing on my own. My heart settled down and then I fell asleep. When I woke I didnt have any palps. I think it's because when I was sleeping my breathing was calm. I had a nice day of not being 'terrorized' by palps, due to not having them or not noticing them. Then came night and I felt anxious that the palps would return when I go to bed. They did!!!! However, if I lay in a certain side type position and don't focus on them...like now texting this, I haven't noticed even one this whole time.
Btw...I have magnesium glycinate being delivered tomorrow. When I went to the emergency room yesterday afternoon the dr went over my tests, basically brushed the palps off as anxiety (which I agree), but did set me up to have an appointment for a halter, just to have more information, since a 6 sec EKG, tho did show a palp, doesn't say much. I told him I would be taking magnesium, and he just said "sure". Google thing for Dr Google, so I could know which are the best to get, dosage, frequency and when is best to take them (including what not to take them with).
Dr Gupta, thank you for blessing so many people with information, hope, calmness and confidence. 🌻
They Google search as well. That's nasty of them to say that. I hope you're doing better.
@@binathere2574 I've been 100% free of anxiety, since Feb 2023. 😁✝️
