This man was born to be a doctor.
I've never heard someone in the health field explain anxiety like this before.
He just explain exactly what I went through a couple year ago.
I seriously though I was going to die. 😧
I went to so many doctors, cardiologist, psychiatrist, etc and nobody could help me.. there was just no answer and I felt so helpless.
I wish there was a Dr Sanjay Gupta I could have gone to when I needed help most.
Bless your kind soul.
Namaste👏
He is the best❣️❣️🙌🏻🙌🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻❤️
Karlene Davies he truly is amazing isn’t he! He probably has no idea how many of us are sitting at home late at night searching for the answers our own doctors haven’t been able to give us! The kindest man on the internet
So what medication did you take please reply
Dr. Gupta is a teacher as well as a doctor. He absorbs words, uses them, then interprets them for us. Very helpful for the average person.
How r u now Karlene....how u get rid of skipping heartbeat
'You are not going to fall.. Drop down dead'
I need this as my new ringtone.
😂😂👍🏾
I love it! You're not going to "drop down dead"! Gets your attention!
I've suffered with this for 12 years now, watching this video almost had me in tears as it's the only real explanation which 100% fits my problems. I could honestly kiss you now!!
i feel like crying i am so relieved,iv'e suffered for years on and off (18) with missed beats, flutter, rolling ,thumps ect and finding your videos has just made an awful lot of difference ,today was terrible,had them on and off all day,my stress levels were throu the roof,hence me googling ,always looking for answers,well i truely found one tonight, god bless you .
+jackie proctor Awww...thank you so much Jackie...your words have made my day and filled me with enthusiasm:-)
Do you feel pain with the thump? Just for a second?
Are you doing well now? Just curious.
@@faisalrishu20
FWIW I don't feel pain of any kind when my heart skips/flutters. How are you doing now?
I feel like my heart does a 2 second pause is that dangerous, I have lots of ectopic since being pregnant this causes me anxiety
I have been a Registered nurse in a very well known and one of the best medical centers in the US and I can say I have never met any cardiologist as AMAZING as you… many great ones I have worked with and am friends with but none compares to you! Thank you!
i honestly wish i could travel from sydney to York just to see you Dr Gupta. The doctors I have seen here just dont seem to get it. God bless you for creating these videos.
@@samad3251 hmmm from the lack of a reply not good he lives in sydney a good town but should of lived in Melbourne or Brisbane
Many of us in the USA feel the same way.
Amazing explanation, I suffer from anxiety and palpitations and its very hard to deal with.
Now Im gonna save this video and watch it everytime I get fear about them.
Thank you so much.
Me also do same haha
Good idea.
Watching for about the 4th time for more reassurance.
@@michellekulas282 me too

I see lots of health anxiety sufferers in the thread here and this gentleman sure did articulate well and took some anxiety load of your shoulders. Good on this doctor. I wish him well.
Thank you for taking the time to make this.
I’ve been following you for months and you never fail to amaze me. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for taking the time to help us ALL !! your a great person
Wow this is exactly what I’m going thru no one has ever put it into words like this your a great man !
Thank you, no one has ever explained this problem so well. Very reassuring.
I'm so thankful for you and your work! Saving this video to rewatch! Thank you thank you!
Your videos have literally changed my life. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make these.
doc I've watched lots of your videos but just found this one and it by far is the closest to my situation. thank you so much for taking the time to help us all. you are a blessing
This is a huge help. I’m struggling with this a lot and your videos have helped me immeasurably. Thank you.
You are a bright light in our lives. Thank you for everything do and and for the time you take in your incredible busy life to help us all, Dr. Gupta!
Thank you so much for taking your time to make these videos and explain this information to us! I feel alot better with my palpataions and anxiety ❤️
Thank you so much. This has been such a relief and so beautifully explained. You are making such a difference to people’s lives.
My sincerest thankyou to you Dr. Sanjay Gupta!!! You have changed my life and given me the mental tools to change this anxiety cycle I've been trapped in for the last year. My deep and constant fears have been completely eased!!! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!!!!!!!!!
Cannot thank this man enough THANK YOU SANJAY GUPTA
Such explanation has made a massive difference! I have been plagued with ectopics and this has disarmed the constant alarm I have been tormented by on a daily basis! Thank you Dr Gupta your amazing
You have no idea the good you do. Thank you thank you thank you so much for this video
Finding your videos has changed my life! My palpitations have gone away. Plus, it doesn't hurt that you're handsome.... no offense to my own handsome husband. Lol
thanks so much for the videos, i have ectopics and suffer from anxiety. i have been making the connection but just knowing that you feel them more because of anxiety makes you feel much better.
The best advice I've ever had from anyone in the medical profession on dealing with health anxiety. Thank you!
This has made me feel a lot better! I really wish my cardiologist was like you instead sending me away with little information.
I thank you so much
finding these videos have helped me more than I can say
especially at night when my ectopics were driving me mad, I felt it was caused by my anxiety but wasn't sure
thank you so much
its like having your own specialist in your cupboard reassuring
What a miracle of a doctor you are! Thank you for all of your videos. ❣️😊
Not only you are a magnificent doctor, you seem to be a lovely human. Making videos for all of us to watch, people you have never met and probably never will, to reassure us and make some of our anxiety and pain go away. Thank you so much, doctor. I wish there were many like you out there, calming and guiding all their patients. Keep up your wonderful work and may God bless you and your family, Lila from Athens, Greece.
this Doc is awesome! Another great helping video. Thanks Doc
This man came to save us. Thanks Doctor!
Thanks so much for this Sanjay, you are describing me, I've become hypersensitive to my RVOT ectopics. Have seen three cardiologists here in Hong Kong now out of fear that I have a serious heart condition. Four 24 hour holter monitors, 2 echoes 6 months apart of my heart, 2 stress treadmill tests, 2 full blood work ups, several trips to A&E in panic, numerous consultations and 'normal' ECG's etc. later, apparently I'm physically very healthy, and after a year of this, finally visited a counsellor to work on my health anxiety. Your video is great because it helps to reaffirm my belief this condition is psychological, manifesting itself physiologically.
thank you so much:-)
This was SPOT on what im going through, this calmed me greatly, thank you!
This video is spot on! Thank you for the incredible insight on this topic. Again, thank you! These VIDS are extremely beneficial.
Thanks for this. I had AFIB for several years over which I was extremely symptomatic (anxious and depressed). After a second ablation, sessions of AFIB declined enormously. Nonetheless, I remained hyper attuned to my heart --always afraid that the AFIB will return. Following the second ablation, regular EKGs picked up no AFIB but frequent ectopic events. While I was not initially aware these were occurring, I became more and more aware of them gradually over time -- to the point where, now, I feel them all the time. The cycle you described fits my experience very well. With the first few initial ectopic events I picked up, my anxiety spiked, I listened more intently for other such events, got much better at recognizing them, making me more anxious and so on..... Thanks for your analysis and advice (and all your very useful videos)!!
You have no idea how much I needed this today! THANK YOU!!! It all makes sense the way you explain it. Audrey
I love this guy, this video felt like it was made just for me all the questions in my head he answered . ❤️💙💚💜🧡💛
I love your info. it's never scary and always timely. You make sense and rjis video especially strikes a chord as I have health anxiety, especially heart related issues.
Thank you so much for posting these.
I had an ectopic episode on the way home from work before, and now I’ve just had another which made me wake up. Now I’m here doing my research. My first episode happened in July and I know exactly what Is causing my anxiety. This has helped me a lot, thank you. Especially when saying it is not life threatening!
One word... A genius!!! Thanks for making my life more easy....
All these years later and still relevant and refreshing. I know in my head that my ectopics are anxiety driven. I literally stop them when they come. It’s really a mental thing. Our bodies respond to us. I have to work on my health anxiety. I keep hearing about CBT. And you’re so correct. The anxiety causes the tension and discomforts which triggers the anxiety which triggers the discomfort. I have to break that cycle at the source. The anxiety!!!
Thank you so much Dr. Gupta for taking the time to do these videos for us (the ones that suffer on a daily basis of ectopics). I will be seen this week by a cardiologist who will do a holter and echo. Looking forward to consult you as well. Blessings
Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge
You are incredibly brilliant! You explain things so well, that when I watch your videos, I literally feel my ectopic beats go away! I am a very stressed and anxious wife and mother of 3 that is trying to deal with family life and a full time job! I tend to have more health related anxiety and feel as though at times it runs my life. So I am so appreciative, of you taking the time to make these. They are very beneficial and I'm positive you have helped so many! Thank you!
+Sierra Yakopovich thanks so much sierra:-)
+York Cardiology You're one in a thousand doctors - who take time to explain these things to the patients. As a 66 year old man who has had anxiety issues (much better now) since college age or before, and felt PVC's in my stomach, chest, etc. since then, I am happy to see a doctor who is holistic and not judgmental or wanting to give someone a beta blocker or something that can as you know, make things worse and give a patient MORE symptoms! I get them when I eat too much, get stomach bloat, am anxious, and because my doctor feels that when I am stressed and my back muscles very tense or having "fasciculations" I also get them when I get a back muscle fasciculation. He ties this into the vagus nerve and things being overly "sensitized." He even put me on an EKG and then pushed the tender spots twitching off and on in my back muscles, and when I got a twitch I told him, and sure enough, on the rhythm strip, it showed that I "threw" an ectopic unifocal PVC! I also get positional PVC's - sometimes when I go to sleep and turn on my left side. So I switch to my back or right side, and they go away. The body is fascinating, but also, can cause benign symptoms which are scary - especially those prone to anxiety. We need more doctors like you, Dr. Gupta, in the USA! :) By the way, I have had echo, Holter, Thallium scan, and all other tests of course. All "negative." God bless you, sir! Please continue the videos!!
Sierra, so do you still have ectopics heartbeats even after your health related anxiety has been treated? cuz im very aware of my heart beats and of courseee i feel my ectopics... i suffer of anxiety aswell most related with my health and fear that something horrible happens to me ... either doingexercise or not... ... what has been your way to get over it?
Der spanier, I started working out daily and walking no less than two miles a day on my elliptical. I also started taking magnesium along with my daily vitamin. They have virtually disappeared. I still get them from time to time when I eat and need to go to the bathroom, or if I'm very anxious. But it really seems like exercising and eating better have helped me. I hate them so much, I got to where I dreaded when they would start and that would start them. Try the magnesium, it's worth a shot!
I get them when I eat as well. Also bending over, laying down. All the classic reasons. That's what's confusing and that they've lasted 20 years now. I'm afraid to go anywhere, do anything, (with my kids) Sleep, go to work. The general anxiety BS and panic that goes along with it. Don't show any heart problems. I can't take anti-depression med's or SRRI's without serious side effects. This is very debilitating. I used to not let it bother me but it's back sorry to say.
Thank you for uploading these videos. They are very informative. MUCH more informative than my own bloody cardiologist. She's always rushing me out the door and is very expensive. I've been dealing with anxiety for 3 years now. My ectopic beats have been coming and going in those 3 years. They are very hard to ignore but your videos give me a little peace of mind. Thank you.
I wish my doctor was as expressive and passionate as well as caring as you, sir. Thanks for these important information
What a fantastic doctor! His presentation is so good he makes it seem as though you have a personal consultation with him. His advice is really helpful.
You’re an angel here on earth. What an amazing cardiologist you are, I saw a cardiologist just two days ago for PAC’s, and while he was excellent, he didn’t describe, or put my mind (heart) at ease like this short video. I will thank you for the rest of my life. God Be With You!
Once i was told that i had HBP my anxiety went through the roof! I was living life oblivious to the idea of a heart attack, stroke, or anything else. Got my diet together stopped drinking every weekend and loss 65 pounds and now have normal bp numbers. But my anxiety is now the problem. It is a very vicious cycle. Thank you so much for all of your information. If it wasnt for you and Dr. Berg(keto guy) i would he lost. You are greatly appreciated. I feel our fear is used against us in the current predatory medical industry.
Thank you so much. I am another one with health anxiety and in addition am having situational anxiety. My heart palps began a few days ago. I know they are harmless, as I have had them before, but as you point out, I get too focused on them. I will see my cardiologist but in the last few months I have had a cardiac ultrasound, ekg, and cxr. All normal. Your reassurance is helpful and calming. I do wish every doctor had your bedside manner and interest in their patients. Your videos are very helpful.
Bravo. All i can say is I wish you were my doctor- My heart all the sudden started racing at rest two months ago, and I have gone twice to the ER, I have seen a cardiologist, internal med doctors, and stress tests, Eco, blood test and no one said anything close to how well you have put it- Thank you
thank u so much. God bless u for sharing all this wonderful information.
Someone linked this to me. I’m so happy I watched it. It helped so much more then everything the doctors had said
You've just changed my life. This video was so helpful, u have no idea how i was mentally suffering with this. Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly . I'm a subscriber 4 life. God bless u.
I thank you for being so caring - you are so helpful and such a blessing to my life! ❤
An excellent way to describe palpations Dr Gupta! I have them now and again, but I know they are due to stress or anxiety, so I try to dismiss them - and it works after a few days I realise they have gone and all is well with the world. 🙂 Very many thanks indeed for being so understanding and for reaching out to us all. I'm truly grateful to you.
You are Amazing! Thank you so much, i feel so much better knowing that i haven't got a heart problem, yesterday i prayed to god to guide me to find out why i get anxiety and panic attacks and I found your video's, now i know i have to change the way i am thinking for a better quality of life:)
The break down was amazing. Thank you so much! 💯
You have no idea how great a service you are doing. If I would have had this info 15yrs ago, I wouldn't be im the mess I am now. Medication changed my life. Helped with anxiety yes, but ruined my get up and go.
You're an amazing person, Dr. Gupta! We all love and appreciate you!
+drape4040 These are very kind words! Thank you so much:-)
@@YorkCardiology Am having a palpetation 4 week after my first vaccine should I take the second dose but I can remember getting it some years ago
Why can’t more doctors be like this wonderful doctor.
Thank you Dr. Gupta, this makes so much sense. It is scary when I notice my pvc’s but watching your videos I’m not too scared anymore. And your voice is very calming too.
As others have said - it feels amazing to hear an explanation that makes sense, and the way you have explained it is both validating and hopeful. I love the horror movie analogy - these past months I have definitely felt like I am watching a movie about a babysitter getting a phone call from a killer. ;) Thank you infinitely for the curiosity and open mindedness you bring to your work.
Hello Bluebell! 😄 Your videos are very helpful, i am a terrible anxiety sufferer and constantly worry about health issues all the time! I have observed that despite how much i have learned about anxiety and its effects, i am still fighting it years on but I seem more able to slow and stop it in its tracks far quicker than I used to. The fluttering hearty/ectopic beats thing is so frightening even though i know it is 99% anxiety most of the time. You are very reassurring many thanks.
Dr Sanjay, I couldn't begin to express how helpful your videos are. I'm abundantly and infinitely grateful!
Aww thank you...and i am grateful to you for watching. I know time is precious and i appreciate you spending it to watch me
I can’t say thank you enough for this video. I could cry, never thought anyone would understand what I deal with and explain it so well. I know this is an older video. But you’ve helped me already! Thank you!!
Breanna Mikolinski seriously though. It’s like he was specifically talking to us in a visit. Now, let’s hope we can stop hearing them! How have you come along with your palpitations and your anxiety?
I have listened to this Sanjay Gupta for awhile now and he is very well read and seems to have rational approaches to irrational problems (like anxiety). The thing that is tricky about health anxiety is that you seemingly forget all the past experiences you had with it and that it turned out alright after getting checked up. When you are in the thick of it, it is very hard to remind yourself that this too will pass. I definitely think I need anxiety medication at some points but I refuse to give in because I feel like I can figure this out. It is a conundrum but I want to have control and I feel like medication would be a surrendering of this, sort of turning on autopilot instead of taking control of the module and pulling out of the spiral.
Dr. Gupta..you are such a big help to me....I've been battling with anxiety for so long coupled with unexplainable palpitations...but when I saw your video..it brought a lot of positive impact to me. Thank you soooo much doc..
Love you and your teaching......it’s so reassuring. Thank you Dr. for all your TH-cam’s. You’re a gift!!
What a beautiful pup Bluebell is! She is going to bring you many years of Love, JOY, fun and comfort. Enjoy!
Thank you so much Dr. Gupta. You are truly a blessing.
Dr Sanjay you are amazing, when i watch your videos i really so reassured that these ectopics and palpitations that i experience are very common and harmless x
Dr. Gupta thank you so much❤🙏 you just described exactly what i am going through right now every single little thing related to my heart or chest its like my brain is fine tuning to nothing but that. And i find myself building up my anxiety more and more everyday to the point that couple days ago i struggled falling asleep because thats all i can think of, the what if's blah blah my brain wont shut up until almost an hour later. The next day my blood pressure was high of course..no proper sleep and all and the anxiety and stress. Then this adds up to my anxious brain again😢 it is so good to hear it coming from you that im actually not imagining things. That my anxiety is indeed the root cause of it all. You are such a blessing to us all. Stay safe and healthy. Namaste.
You are so awesome Doc! I’m a 34 yr old male and have been struggling with these nasty sensations since my early 20’s. I’ve been to the ER GP and two diffrent cardiologist and had blood work,ekg and echo and have ALL came back normal. To this day I still get them from light flutters to strong thuds and multiples.. it has ruined my life to the point I have lost my job and I don’t go out no more with my family. Like you said in you’re video I’m a very anxious person and anxiety has really done a number on me... i go to you’re videos and they make me feel a lot better and give me a piece of mind. I’m in the United States and wise he’s there was a Dr here with at least half of your knowledge.. I tip my hat off to you
Wow just wow, here I am in 2020 and I’m just getting the understanding what I been praying for. Thank you so much. I’ve been having heart palpitations and I went to the ER and everything checked out perfect but I was still getting these palpitations which started giving me panic attacks everyday but now I felt all my anxiety melt away!!
Glad to have found you. Thank you for your informative posts. I really need this help.
This was the most helpful video I have seen by far.I am very grateful thank you
This explanation is like he been in to our heart ❤️ god bless 🙏
Dr. Gupta thank you for this great explanation. My 33 year old son works very hard and is a very anxious person who sometimes notices his ectopic heart beat when his stress levels rise. When he is at the gym he said it doesn't happen. When I show him your video, I know it will help him a lot. Many thanks.
thank you so much for describing this in a way without overpowering or in a passive aggressive matter. I've been recently having ectopic beats throughout the day and am realizing it's nothing more that anxiety....
thank you!!
Absolutely correct I started noticing all these when I lost my mum. Thank you for clarifying this. God bless you
What a gorgeous little dog is Bluebell. Thankyou Sanjay. I had very obvious palpitations last night . It felt like , on taking my pulse that my heart suddenly stopped for a split second, then quickly took up the next beat to carry on. No pain, just a bit alarming.
My best friends funeral yesterday and a long journey to get there, and family members getting stressed and squabbling?
So not surprising. I’m glad to be reassured it’s not serious , and that , I will be ok once I’ve destressed .
I just want to echo what others have said. Thank you for making these videos, you are a really good person. I have had anxiety since i was about 18, im now 31. I have finally started to overcome my anxiety via acceptance and self compassion. Interestingly, as I actually started to get over it and relax, I felt wonderful for a few weeks then ectopics started. I had felt heart hiccups before but never like this. My mum has heart disease and it runs in my family so i am going to get checked. I have heard what you said though, for anxious people our mind really can play tricks on us. Anxious people are highly self conscious and self monitor, so I will extend my acceptance to my ectopics. take care
How are you now?
SO GLAD I FOUND THIS! I am from Sydney, Australia, am a healthy 24 year old female who is having ectopics >20% of the time (have had for 3-4 years). I have seen various cardiologists and had every test under the sun (twice over) and this has stressed me out for many years. I feel every beat I experience and it causes me distress. These videos are a godsend, especially the breathing exercises. Thank you!
How many ectopics do you get?
you've been our anxiety savior! thank you for your wisdom and good heart to help people like us. This condition is killing us from the inside
How are you now
You just said my words ...
We will beat this anxiety disorder. Have patience
DrGupta you are an absolute star for these you tube videos. They are so very helpful and clarify do much about heart conditions.
Such an insightful video, yes you're right Dr! I think these issues are much more common to hypersensitive/overly sensitive people. I'm one of them!
Proud to live in york! I am so happy I watched this tonight. I seem to only notice my palpitations at night when I’m trying to sleep and it wakes me up, gives me an adrenaline rush from the anxiety of it which keeps me awake. It’s difficult to convince yourself fully that you’re okay lol the mind is a powerful thing
So true i love watching your channel since you explain a way we can relate 😘 thanks its very helpful
I have ectopics . I feel weird. I feel many people are there around the world like me who needs your help. Your way of presentation is literally awesome. Please dont shut down your channel.
I did a consult with him online it was amazing ! Great guy really answered all my questions felt like he woulda stayed on the phone all night he was in absolutely no rush ! Highly recommend
Dr Gupta, you are right! I have skipped beats and I always have worried about my health and my heart in particular... I have become so sensitised through constant monitoring of my situation, looking inward. I lost my mother when I was seven years old, to cancer...so I am a textbook case of your explanation... You have helped me understand it more...Thankyou.
Bang on. Exactly what I feel and experience...anxiety and all. Thank you
What a great guy and great advice. Anxiety is crippling but the ectopics are the worst symptom from my own experience.
But listening to your interpretation has really made sense.
Thank you
Thank you, I just came upon your videos. Ive had these symptoms of palpitations over 15 yrs during my teenage years I was very anxious & over time becoming a mother I got diagnosed with supraventricular heat beat caused by stress and this video just made so much sense. Thank you so much for explaining..
+iChocolateberry awww thank you so much for your kind words
Recently, i was diagnosed with VPCs. I was very scared and my mind always kept noticing my heart beats. But this video gave me a big relief. It was like getting a new life.
Thank you Dr Gupta for your fantastic and informative videos! Your videos on magnesium are absolutely correct from personal experience. God bless you! 🙏🏻🇦🇺
Your Bluebell is adorable.Thanks for the discourse. I too suffer from heart palpitations and a lot of it is caused by stress as you have explained. I feel better now
