I’m glad I found this video. My heart rate is usually 60 - 75. But since yesterday it has been 80-115. The more I look at my watch the more anxious I become. I’m relieved after watching this. Thank you.
I’m a CCU nurse and I wish we had more calm, intelligent, and humble cardiologists like you❤️💕 you are a blessing to many patients. You are the finest example of being a great teacher because you are confident in your knowledge and I think those people are the only ones who can truly reassure others. Your empathy and compassion are palpable.
You have completely changed my life. 8 years ago I started having anxiety and I slowly turned into a hypochondriac all of it focuses on my heart and I've been convinced I'm having a heart attack dozens of times. I've done so much research on the heart trying to know every single little thing its ridiculous. Now that I've found you I just get on here and about 2 minutes into one of your videos and I'm calmed back down and back to normal. If I could just get my doctors to talk to me like you do instead of pushing meds I won't take my anxiety probably wouldn't have made it this far
I listen to one video a day. I think the brain runs our fears. Dr Gupta's tone is calm. The brain responds appropriately and signals the heart to return to appropriate heart beats. My observation.
Dr. Gupta, I want to sincerely thank you for your excellent videos with zero fear tactics, just facts. I appreciate your passion and honesty. Your work is extremely appreciated by me and I'm sure by many others. Continue to stay honest, grounded and humble as these videos are very helpful and reassuring. God bless you!
I have had infrequent episodes of rapid, regular heart rate without apparent reason over the past ten years. When I experience these episodes the rate increases gradually to about 145 bpm over a period of minutes and remains at that level for about 45 minutes and gradually returns to normal over a period of hours. My maximum heart rate is 155bpm. You are the first person among many doctors to explain what is happening to me in a clear and informative way. Aside from that, your calm and caring manner is remarkable for someone who practices medicine. I am so very very grateful for your generous spirit and I wish you something beautiful and wonderful.
York cardiology, I have low blood pressure my cardiologist calls it orthostatic hypotension and verus POTs, Well he said likely a significant element of pots. He tested me quickly but cant low pressure mimic pot symptoms? Also, I'm pregnant and my blood pressure can go as low to 79 over 45 I called my ob he said drink water increase sodium but I should be fine. I feel okay I have a headache and I feel I stay dehydrated even tho I drink water I feel alot, my heart rate does jump up when standing. I guess my question is how can I get the appropriate testing for POTs and should I be concerned about my blood pressure?
I somewhat agree. I have anxiety and panic attacks that raise my heartbeat and have previously made me think I was having a heart attack. But now that I'm more aware of my own anxiety and have managed it, I still get weird sensations and an increased heart rate when I haven't been worried or thinking about any health concerns. That certainly isn't my mind controlling my heart beat.
You are a Great help!!! Been suffering with panic attacks and anxiety because of a fear of my heart rhythm. Your videos have helped me so much! I am forever grateful and wish you could be my GP.
I learned more in this video than I have from any other sources about tachycardia. Your approach is very informative and reassuring. Thank you very much.
Dr. Gupta thanks for the informative video. When I first went on the keto diet and fasted for a week my heart beats went very irregular and when I went to bed I thought I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. That morning I drank a glass of water with a teaspoon of pink salt and I’ve never had the problem again. I drink a glass of salt water daily now and it also stops leg and hand cramps. So obviously the heart needs salt for its electrical conductive needs..
Hi dear Dr. Jupta, I am a nurse and recently I been having heart palpitation, and I stumble across your great videos, and I can't tell you enough how much they have helped me to calm my nerves. Thankfully, my cardiologist confirmed I have no heart issues, but still have palpitation. Thank you for all you do.
as a RN who is experienced but new to primary care, I am grateful for your insight and willingness to share it.This is important to primary care cause we are "dinged" on hospital care for chronic conditions - hearts are in the tope five. That you for your knowledge!!!!
I am 36 and have felt my hr at least 160..maybe 180. This is reassuring to me during my panic attacks. You have a very calm approach and tone. You seem to keep in mind being triggering for health anxiety people and I literally have teary eyes in appreciation for this. My mother died at 27 of cardiomyopathy hypertroph and her sister at 41. Tho I see a cardiologist twice a year because I insist for my peace of mind and all is well. Thank you so much. I was nervous watching your videos worrying I would be triggered hut they are reassuring. Thank you!!!
I am watching this on December 27th 2019 ! Your content is life changing... honestly . You have done me a good deed sir by the content you continue to put out!!!
You are absolutely fantastic Dr. Sanjay, I found my going to the hospital was out of fear rather than reality, but I have great insurance, so they were happy to admit me! Please continue your fantastic videos, I save them all! You are my mentor now sir!!!
I have a case of covid19 second day and my heart rate has been much higher than normal 80 to 90 just walking into the other room. Normally it runs 50 to 60. So I guess 80 to 90 isn't anything to worry about considering my body is trying to fight off the virus. Thanks so much. You are one of our go to youtube sites.
This is a awesome video and I needed to see this....I am 44, and I get rapid heartbeat episodes and have had 12 EKGS during rapid heart rate episodes... It just showed regular heartbeat but fast like 156 was the highest I ever went... I'm peri menopausal and I experience this usually before my period or shortly after but it causes me so much anxiety...thank you for this video it gives me reassurance and I watch a lot of your videos and appreciate everyone 👍🏻
You are a caring and awesome Doctor.. And very informative with useful good information.. I appreciate your knowledge in helping others.. Thank You Yvonne Adams
60 when I wake up, increases to 125 during the day, drops down again at night when I sleep. Heart surgery to repair mitral valve 4 yrs. ago. History of Afib. Thank You for the great info.
I love your videos. You are very good at taking a technical subject matter and putting it in layman's terms so regular, non-medical people can understand it. Thank you so much and please don't quit making videos. I know you are concerned about your channel, but a lot of us...all of us...would be unhappy if you quit. We really need this information. Doctors really don't have the time to educate their patients at the appointment, The information you give is so incredibly helpful. I feel guilty for getting it for free.
This is something which makes people panik. Most of the people think that high heart beat damages heart. There is no evidence for this. I have seen some people saying that people with heart rate 60-70 have less chance of heart disease. This kind of information make people panic. My grandmother has blood. pressure 190-120. People used to get scared after seeing the reading. Some people even thought how her arteries are withstanding such high pressure. She lived 88 years. She could have lived longer if she avoided those beta blockers. We cannot make any conjectures. Every person is different.
Just diagnosed with SVT after an agonizing 3 months. The rapid heartbeat was there, but I became alarmed because it was random, often at rest or asleep, my BP would drop significantly, I had massive headaches and started to black out. I would throw up if it continued. Often I felt all over the place and would cry. So thankful for my cardiologist and medicine, which has helped significantly.
How timely and appropriate Dr Gupta I was awoken this morning at 4am by my heart racing! It had risen from a normal 78 odd to 91 and it frightened me!After watching this video I realise my calculated rate is nowhere near the increase so I am guessing last night's few glasses of wine, rich food and taking my tabs too late caused the disturbance! I am waiting for oblation treatment for my ectopic.It would seem this 'one off' night of indulgence upset things, however the night wasn't completely ruined because the advice in this video reassured me, once again!Thank You oh so much! !!
Honestly, don't try and jog, walk first for a 1 week after that, jog for 20 min a day. never push yourself too hard first. until you have build heart muscle from exercise.
@@vicgocrz4914 muscles have to be built up. They rebuild stronger when you work them harder but you can strain muscles and I’m guessing you can strain your heart
Please keep up the great work. You have helped so many people. Please continue to provide this educational resource that can be viewed for years to come. Thanks!
Your channel is fantastic. I came here today after a GP was very unhelpful, and a little unprofessional. You have eased some of my concerns with your explanation. Thank you.
Thanks for mentioning anemia and specifically iron deficiency. I have low ferritin (Iron deficiency) and am not anemic ( I have slipped into being anemic over the years, though). This information is SO important to get out there. I don't generally have a racing heart, but I do get palpitations on occasion. So many doctors only look at hemoglobin on a CBC, but don't test ferritin because they either don't know to or say ferritin is not important as long as your hemoglobin is ok. I finally got my ferritin tested at age 44, and I had to change doctors to do it!
Thank you for your support- it would mean a tonne if you’d consider subscribing to the channel. Also I try and do some regular broadcasts via WhatsApp on +44795131008
Hi Sanjay, your youtubes are so informative , thank you for the content. It's really helped me understand the heart and electrical system. I've experienced all three tachycardia's, (atrial, super and ventricular). I find the atrial the scariest, its utter electrical chaos in the upper chambers when it happens, but I maintain a regular heart rythm. One technique I've learned is hold your breath and pinch your nose, for a few seconds at a time, this puts stress on the vegas nerve and helps to suppress the electrical misfiring, I have found this to be quite effective and shortens the duration of the event. down to 5 to 10 seconds The other two I've found drinking cayenne powder in water as well as juicing lemon in water and staying hydrated really minimises all three.
Remind us to subscribe before the video and at the end of the video. Ask us to share with family and friends. You deserve a greater following doc. Valid information.
I’m a 34 year old woman & my resting heart rate is between 85-100. Often I’ll be sitting and it’s 98-103. I am about 50 lbs over weight and started working with a trainer 2 months ago. My trainer got worried because when I do moderate exercise it goes up to as high as 194. So long story short is I’m getting checked out…. Thank you for your videos.
Did you ever get it checked out and got an answer? Your numbers are almost exactly what mine have been for the past few months (I'm also 34). I'm planning on setting up a visit with a specialist, but I'm just curious what happened with your issue.
@@adamant5550 I did - I saw a cardiologist and had a bunch of tests done. Everything came back normal. He said I have a naturally high heart rate and that as I get stronger and my body gets used to working out again my heart rate will start to take longer to get up that high. As I’ve continued to work out this has proven to be true. My heart rate no longer gets up in the 190’s. It also takes a bit longer for me to get into the high 180’s. I’ve learned it’s important for me to slowly work up to more intense workouts and to monitor my heart rate during workouts so I don’t overdo it. I’d still recommend getting checked out though. It’ll rule anything else out and give you a piece of mind.
@@H87-u5o Glad to hear it. In the past when I've gone to specialists, I've gotten the same answer. Everything is normal. For me, I'm sure it is more anxiety related.
I’m in a similar boat. Except there are days where I have perfectly normal heart rates (72-80) and with exertion (going up stairs or playing with my kids)I get up to around 105-115. But then a day will pass and I’ll have a “bad” day where the slightest exertion has me over 100 and taking the trash bin to the end of the driveway will have me at 140. It’s so frustrating dealing with this off and on stuff. I have some appts coming up to get checked out … I’ve dealt with palpitations for 17 years to the tune of around 13000 a day. Had a catheter ablation a year ago and it was wildly successful. Palpitations are all but gone.. but now I’m dealing with this inappropriate sinus tach. coming intermittently. So frustrating 😢. It’s difficult to do any exercise as my pulse simply goes too high too fast on these bad days.
thanks so much it help me alot my heart rate went up at work im a hostess it went up to 222 then it went down to 111 i was a little nervous u more me feel better it happen tonight thanks so much
Cardiologists that I met focus on prescribing medications and I'm so thankful for you, your videos, your knowledge and incredible skill for sharing it❤🧡, your bright energy, calming happy personality, 😇and in addition to it you're so handsome!
I get sudden rapid heart beats a lot. When they happen I basically have to sit down because I feel so fatigue and it gets harder to breathe. I'm only 14 years old, and I would consider myself pretty fit. I also get a lot of chest pain and last time I went to a doctor he said my blood pressure was lower than usual.
Thank you Dr. Gupta. I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation for a year. I have a good cardiologist but he doesn't explain everything (like you do). I am immensely grateful for all your videos and the education you provide so graciously. JE in Santa Monica, CA
Hello Dr Gupta, I am a 72 year old & recently had the experience of dizziness head swimming to the point where I couldn’t walk , i went to bed and stayed there for the day the next morning it was slightly better but I still felt dizzy & nauseous and couldn’t eat for days. I rang my GP and she was worried, I went to the surgery where the nurse did the usual blood pressure tests which was highish as always but gradually came down to reasonable level, I take Amlodipine 10mg tabs and have been doing so for years I have mildly raised cholesterol but refused statins. Which is the same level as last year but the nurse also told me that my pulse was high, I paid little attention as I had no idea what it meant, the nurse took my bloods. After this the GP asked me to go up and be checked at the hospital A&E. I went through a raft of tests and they thought everything was normal if not good! Good heart,good kidneys, good liver, Except for the pulse which was high, and they put me on a saline drip to bring it down it appears I was dehydrated. This has happened before when I had an op, they said my blood was thick! I drink plenty of water and even brought a bottle to the hospital for sipping. The thing is this is apparently another reason for a high pulse? I have always known my kidneys dealt with liquid rather efficiently & very soon after drinking any liquid. Thank you for your very sensible advice - I started taking magnesium after your video on that subject and it’s improved my sleep and muscle spasms and pain and relaxed me too, so neither symptoms worry me now.
My cardiologist didn't spent the time to explain why I have been heart beat disturbances and my primary doctor got my next appointment immediately to see the cardiologist. Just told me "I was fine" and walked out in 3 minutes though my heart monitor results showed otherwise. Not knowing give us even more anxiety as it is. Thank you again Dr. Sanjay
I found this video comforting , thank you. I started to feel sickly and got chills with a light elevation in temperature - this being Covid time I got tested with negative results. I was immunized but was insecure with the symptoms. I had a temperature only at night with chills and my resting pulse went every night up by one more beat per minute, from 66 to now 89. With several tests, nothing seems to be wrong. After being on antibiotics for 7 days all symptoms have disappeared but the heartrate is still up. My blood pressure is at around 100/65
Thank you for explaining this . I was diagnosed with SVT about 2 weeks ago after my heart rate got into the 170s . I’m currently wearing a holter to see exactly what’s going on while I wait to see a cardiologist.. I’m only 24. I was sent home on a beta blocker and it’s helped a lot . I’ve noticed that most of the time I’m fine unless I’m triggered by anxiety . I don’t have random attacks . Usually it happens after I’m really anxious. The tech thought maybe I was misdiagnosed because for most of the time I’m fine .
Same happened to me. Diagnosed with tachycardia at 22 about almost a year ago. Did a bunch of test (blood, X-ray, MRI, EKG, echocardiogram) everything is normal except I'm anemic. I do feel a tightness when breathing but nothing has been explained to me with answers. I was told I'm too young for beta blockers.
@@tigerspiritjourney no vaccine, will not even go there. Covid, maybe. I didn't test to see but I was sick about a month before all this started to happen.
@@ColorfulCanvass I still get shortness of breath a lot but it's not as bad as it used to be. I do also get anxious here and there so I think that affects my HR and breathing more than I realized at first. It just feels like I can't take in a deep breath a lot. My heart rate at resting is below 100s. Usually in the 80s - or low 90s if I've been working out/ stressed the day before or day of. My HR gets between 110-130 when I'm walking around/ brisk walking at work (I'm a waitress) - I just started 2 weeks ago, so I hope over time that exercise will lower it. But other than that my blood pressure has lowered a little so that's great (:
Again so informative. Thank you so much for these videos. For someone that really suffers physically and mentally with these ectopics your videos are truly instrumental in understanding what the heck is happening without an immediate death sentence. Google is the worst place to ever seek for help, information and support.
thank you so much for the time and effort explaining everything that we need to know about heart rate you are really a big help.... GOD Bless you and your family!
This is a wonderful and informative presentation. It relieves anxiety greatly. I hope you make more videos like this for us who need the information only a cardiologist can offer.
If you have 'unusually' (for you) high, or "pounding" heartrate, and prolonged, in response to big meals, after exercise, or any triggers including anxiety, it could be an early warning sign of hyperthyroidism. I wish I got tested sooner but I just put it down to "anxiety". Now I have to suffer much stronger responses, and more. My thyroid tested normal when I first noticed the symptoms, but don't ignore it if it keeps going on, or worsens. For me it was years before it relatively quickly got very bad and I finally sought help (I think for me it was triggered by a virus+menstruation) now I'm on beta blockers, and a high dose of anti-thyroid drugs, the latter takes time to really work, meanwhile I suffer day and night, sometimes it's very stressful
i am really proud of you doctor....why indian doctors are not effecient as like you...and you are so correct...and now i am relax from anxiety...my heart is 120 i thought i could die...
Thank you for this helpful, easy to understand video. I have had fast heart beat since I was in my late 20's, so has my sister and now my daughter, age 27 is also having them. My doctor put me on beta blockers and I have been on them for years. I hate to see my daughter go on a drug all of her life, too. She is an ultra marathon runner, US Naval Academy graduate, and just seems odd that she would get this too since she is so fit. If there is any guidance you can give for her being in such great shape.
nice video Doc, I am going in for a pacemaker and an AV node abrasion this Thursday. You videos have reinforced what my Doc has told me, for that I thank you.
My heart beat races while I am resting or sleeping not all the time but sometimes. I do not know the rate of it while it is happening all I can say is I can surely feel it. I had this before my Diabetic & blood pressure. I am 42 years old.
Lucky Underwood same. I also have chest tightness because of anxiety. I didn't sleep this night because I feel like I remain out of oxygen and I also get adrenaline rushes
Thank you for this. It makes me feel a little better. Today I got really stressed. Someone I know unintentionally triggered some bad memories and flashbacks for me, and I was reliving those experiences for a while because of my anxiety. I got so distressed that I skipped a meal. Well, after I ate, my heart rate felt higher than it normally does. I knew my body was still in a state of stress, so I didn’t think much of it. When I walked, though, and did deep breathing, it didn’t seem to come down. In fact, it felt like it was racing as I was walking, and I felt more winded than normal. I went to the ER just to get an EKG, and what I felt as a racing heart rate wasn’t more than 100 bpm (98 bpm). They kept me hooked up for a little before discharging me, and as I watched my heart rate on the monitor, I saw that what I perceived as racing was about 86 bpm….The doctor said I was fine, and I calmed down after getting some food in me…Has anybody else ever experienced a normal heart rate as racing? For me, my resting rate is usually in the 60’s or 70’s, so it was a little fast for me, but I wonder if the stressed out state that my body was in just made me more aware of my heart beat…and then with more awareness might have come some hyperventilating that made it feel even faster. What an experience! 😅
how do i reduce my heart rate when i sleep. after i had a stent put in it increases a lot when i lay down to sleep. i get up every hr r 2. my heart is racing.
Thank you for having answered to many questions i had... i suffer from elevated resting(90/100) /walking(120-150) heart rate almost every day for the past 4 years without any reason. did all the possible checks without any indication of cardiovascular or hormonal problem. Still no clue .
I am experiencing exactly similar. Undergoing checks. I had an episode of Hyperthyroid few years ago and I believe something changed that time. Though T3, T4 and TSH levels are normal, some of the other symptoms like high metabolism and high pulse continue. I am trying homeopathic magnesium supplements. I have also observed that hear rate increasing when there are some digestion / blotting problems. I have also figured that certain food like dark chocolate, Wine, mint etc are triggers for me, But there isn't a correct cause known yet. Just thought of letting you know as this community need to share a lot with each other on what worked and what not? Deep and abdominal breathing does give a temporary effect. I believe all people who were anxious or too fast in actions during their young age face such things later. Not sure if you can relate to this.
Thank you very much my mom have to go get her heart checked it is beating fast I will tell them to check for all of what you called out thank you keep doing these videos ❤👍
Marc Chatow it’s happened to me so scary I call ambulance and by the time they come it’s calmed down but they take me hospital I get bloods tests and everything ok after from low blood sugar sometimes.
Thank you so much for posting this, you have made such a difference to my life right now. I have been worried sick since my doctor told me I had 130 bpm last week and put me on beta-blockers (which I am not taking due to side effects). I have numerous other health conditions as well as being in withdrawal from Amitriptyline which are likely to be the cause. To hear it from a cardiologist has reassured me. I know I need more exercise and a better diet which I have already started to do. I really can't thank you enough for this video.
He is the worst presenter I have ever seen. Faking accent , confused about what he is speaking. Horrible.
You have no idea what you're talking about. This man is a very good cardiologist, I had a consult with him. If you think you can do better, go to medical school.

You are absolutely fantastic Dr. Sanjay, I found my going to the hospital was out of fear rather than reality, but I have great insurance, so they were happy to admit me! Please continue your fantastic videos, I save them all! You are my mentor now sir!!!
Thank you for such an informative and thorough explanation. Your calm demeanor is also very helpful. Your patients are lucky to have you
I have a case of covid19 second day and my heart rate has been much higher than normal 80 to 90 just walking into the other room. Normally it runs 50 to 60. So I guess 80 to 90 isn't anything to worry about considering my body is trying to fight off the virus. Thanks so much. You are one of our go to youtube sites.
This is a awesome video and I needed to see this....I am 44, and I get rapid heartbeat episodes and have had 12 EKGS during rapid heart rate episodes... It just showed regular heartbeat but fast like 156 was the highest I ever went... I'm peri menopausal and I experience this usually before my period or shortly after but it causes me so much anxiety...thank you for this video it gives me reassurance and I watch a lot of your videos and appreciate everyone 👍🏻
Make sure you get checked out through A Cardiologist
Best videos I have seen on heart conditions is from this great men
You are a caring and awesome Doctor.. And very informative with useful good information.. I appreciate your knowledge in helping others..
Thank You

60 when I wake up, increases to 125 during the day, drops down again at night when I sleep. Heart surgery to repair mitral valve 4 yrs. ago. History of Afib. Thank You for the great info.
Thank you so much for explaining how our Hearts work, you've answered so many of my questions. Thank you, now I can stop panicking.
I love your videos. You are very good at taking a technical subject matter and putting it in layman's terms so regular, non-medical people can understand it. Thank you so much and please don't quit making videos. I know you are concerned about your channel, but a lot of us...all of us...would be unhappy if you quit. We really need this information. Doctors really don't have the time to educate their patients at the appointment, The information you give is so incredibly helpful. I feel guilty for getting it for free.
I am glad to listen to your talk, I am at ease now. So generous of you to give advice in this area. Thank you so very much.
This is something which makes people panik. Most of the people think that high heart beat damages heart. There is no evidence for this. I have seen some people saying that people with heart rate 60-70 have less chance of heart disease. This kind of information make people panic. My grandmother has blood. pressure 190-120. People used to get scared after seeing the reading. Some people even thought how her arteries are withstanding such high pressure. She lived 88 years. She could have lived longer if she avoided those beta blockers. We cannot make any conjectures. Every person is different.
Just diagnosed with SVT after an agonizing 3 months. The rapid heartbeat was there, but I became alarmed because it was random, often at rest or asleep, my BP would drop significantly, I had massive headaches and started to black out. I would throw up if it continued. Often I felt all over the place and would cry. So thankful for my cardiologist and medicine, which has helped significantly.
What an incredible channel. Your videos are highly informative and helpful, thank you!
How timely and appropriate Dr Gupta I was awoken this morning at 4am by my heart racing! It had risen from a normal 78 odd to 91 and it frightened me!After watching this video I realise my calculated rate is nowhere near the increase so I am guessing last night's few glasses of wine, rich food and taking my tabs too late caused the disturbance! I am waiting for oblation treatment for my ectopic.It would seem this 'one off' night of indulgence upset things, however the night wasn't completely ruined because the advice in this video reassured me, once again!Thank You oh so much! !!
Honestly, don't try and jog, walk first for a 1 week after that, jog for 20 min a day. never push yourself too hard first. until you have build heart muscle from exercise.
May I ask why ?
@@vicgocrz4914 muscles have to be built up. They rebuild stronger when you work them harder but you can strain muscles and I’m guessing you can strain your heart
Please keep up the great work. You have helped so many people. Please continue to provide this educational resource that can be viewed for years to come. Thanks!
you have such a relaxing calming voice.
Your channel is fantastic.
I came here today after a GP was very unhelpful, and a little unprofessional.
You have eased some of my concerns with your explanation. Thank you.
Thanks for mentioning anemia and specifically iron deficiency. I have low ferritin (Iron deficiency) and am not anemic ( I have slipped into being anemic over the years, though). This information is SO important to get out there. I don't generally have a racing heart, but I do get palpitations on occasion. So many doctors only look at hemoglobin on a CBC, but don't test ferritin because they either don't know to or say ferritin is not important as long as your hemoglobin is ok. I finally got my ferritin tested at age 44, and I had to change doctors to do it!
My heart rate is normally in the 70s
This is a really good Doctor with a clear message to help all.
Thank you for your support- it would mean a tonne if you’d consider subscribing to the channel.
Also I try and do some regular broadcasts via WhatsApp on +44795131008
You’re a gift to the world. Thank you
Really
Dr. Gupta is the smartest and best Dr.
Hi Sanjay, your youtubes are so informative , thank you for the content. It's really helped me understand the heart and electrical system. I've experienced all three tachycardia's, (atrial, super and ventricular). I find the atrial the scariest, its utter electrical chaos in the upper chambers when it happens, but I maintain a regular heart rythm. One technique I've learned is hold your breath and pinch your nose, for a few seconds at a time, this puts stress on the vegas nerve and helps to suppress the electrical misfiring, I have found this to be quite effective and shortens the duration of the event. down to 5 to 10 seconds The other two I've found drinking cayenne powder in water as well as juicing lemon in water and staying hydrated really minimises all three.
I do the same!! I think the Vagus nerve is really involved in many of these issues...especially since having Covid.
You are an exceptional doctor! Caring, knowledgeable and a great expounder - teacher… thank you!!!
👌🌟😘
Amazing information. You have convinced me more than my own so called cardiologist has managed to do. Appreciate your help.
thanks Bal!
Remind us to subscribe before the video and at the end of the video. Ask us to share with family and friends. You deserve a greater following doc. Valid information.
I’m a 34 year old woman & my resting heart rate is between 85-100. Often I’ll be sitting and it’s 98-103. I am about 50 lbs over weight and started working with a trainer 2 months ago. My trainer got worried because when I do moderate exercise it goes up to as high as 194. So long story short is I’m getting checked out…. Thank you for your videos.
Did you ever get it checked out and got an answer? Your numbers are almost exactly what mine have been for the past few months (I'm also 34). I'm planning on setting up a visit with a specialist, but I'm just curious what happened with your issue.
@@adamant5550 I did - I saw a cardiologist and had a bunch of tests done. Everything came back normal. He said I have a naturally high heart rate and that as I get stronger and my body gets used to working out again my heart rate will start to take longer to get up that high. As I’ve continued to work out this has proven to be true. My heart rate no longer gets up in the 190’s. It also takes a bit longer for me to get into the high 180’s. I’ve learned it’s important for me to slowly work up to more intense workouts and to monitor my heart rate during workouts so I don’t overdo it. I’d still recommend getting checked out though. It’ll rule anything else out and give you a piece of mind.
@@H87-u5o Glad to hear it. In the past when I've gone to specialists, I've gotten the same answer. Everything is normal. For me, I'm sure it is more anxiety related.
I’m in a similar boat. Except there are days where I have perfectly normal heart rates (72-80) and with exertion (going up stairs or playing with my kids)I get up to around 105-115. But then a day will pass and I’ll have a “bad” day where the slightest exertion has me over 100 and taking the trash bin to the end of the driveway will have me at 140. It’s so frustrating dealing with this off and on stuff. I have some appts coming up to get checked out … I’ve dealt with palpitations for 17 years to the tune of around 13000 a day. Had a catheter ablation a year ago and it was wildly successful. Palpitations are all but gone.. but now I’m dealing with this inappropriate sinus tach. coming intermittently. So frustrating 😢. It’s difficult to do any exercise as my pulse simply goes too high too fast on these bad days.
@@H87-u5o did it affect your blood pressure?
Dr Sanjay you are the best! God bless you and your family!! You have helped me a lot in my condition
Dr. I am so grateful for your videos. it gives me a great peace of mind when dealing with my constant heart tachycardia and palpitations.
Your video greatly helped a family member to understand what is going on with their condition. Thank You
Great way of explaining the way the heart works regarding the pace or rhythm for the everyday citizen---good job :-) Thank you.
Thanks a lot Dr Gupta for making this video. This is really Great. God bless you.
thanks so much it help me alot my heart rate went up at work im a hostess it went up to 222 then it went down to 111 i was a little nervous u more me feel better it happen tonight thanks so much

Yeah true !
Cardiologists that I met focus on prescribing medications and I'm so thankful for you, your videos, your knowledge and incredible skill for sharing it❤🧡, your bright energy, calming happy personality, 😇and in addition to it you're so handsome!
I get sudden rapid heart beats a lot. When they happen I basically have to sit down because I feel so fatigue and it gets harder to breathe. I'm only 14 years old, and I would consider myself pretty fit. I also get a lot of chest pain and last time I went to a doctor he said my blood pressure was lower than usual.
Eat a whole food plant based diet
@@jamberry1135 your right I was laking potassium and my heart was going off
You are excellent at what you do.
Reassuring and calm..
Thank u.I am retired nurse / midwife
Dr Sanjay is very good with explaining heart stuff I wish he was in USA practicing
awww thank you!
York Cardiology what's an email you can be reached at need to ask you something about Afib obstructive sleep apnea hypertension mild hypertrophy
I may also have sleep Apnea
I was so worry when my heart beat so fast but listening to your medical advice my heart is well relax and I am so grateful to you. You are so amazing.
Hey Doc
Thank you for taking the time make these videos
Very helpful
Thank you Dr. Gupta. I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation for a year. I have a good cardiologist but he doesn't explain everything (like you do). I am immensely grateful for all your videos and the education you provide so graciously. JE in Santa Monica, CA
Thank you Doctor, you explain it better. Listening to you puts me at ease and to manage myself in this diagnosis.
Hello Dr Gupta, I am a 72 year old & recently had the experience of dizziness head swimming to the point where I couldn’t walk , i went to bed and stayed there for the day the next morning it was slightly better but I still felt dizzy & nauseous and couldn’t eat for days. I rang my GP and she was worried, I went to the surgery where the nurse did the usual blood pressure tests which was highish as always but gradually came down to reasonable level, I take Amlodipine 10mg tabs and have been doing so for years I have mildly raised cholesterol but refused statins. Which is the same level as last year but the nurse also told me that my pulse was high, I paid little attention as I had no idea what it meant, the nurse took my bloods. After this the GP asked me to go up and be checked at the hospital A&E. I went through a raft of tests and they thought everything was normal if not good! Good heart,good kidneys, good liver, Except for the pulse which was high, and they put me on a saline drip to bring it down it appears I was dehydrated. This has happened before when I had an op, they said my blood was thick! I drink plenty of water and even brought a bottle to the hospital for sipping. The thing is this is apparently another reason for a high pulse? I have always known my kidneys dealt with liquid rather efficiently & very soon after drinking any liquid. Thank you for your very sensible advice - I started taking magnesium after your video on that subject and it’s improved my sleep and muscle spasms and pain and relaxed me too, so neither symptoms worry me now.
superb! brilliantly done...I'm really happy n grateful u did this video...
I love this channel, I used to have a lot of tachycardias. No anymore for now
You are my heart knowledge “go-to”.
You keep me calm 😊
Tina Jenkins me too
My cardiologist didn't spent the time to explain why I have been heart beat disturbances and my primary doctor got my next appointment immediately to see the cardiologist. Just told me "I was fine" and walked out in 3 minutes though my heart monitor results showed otherwise. Not knowing give us even more anxiety as it is. Thank you again Dr. Sanjay
Another excellent video by Sanjay...as usual!! :)
Thank you for this informative good presentation. Unfortunately social media invites people with mind health issues to leave absurd comments.
Thank you very much sir for this informative session.☺
Every single video of yours that I have watched has ALWAYS been useful! Thank you for what you freely do for us who search for answers 🙏🙏🙏
Your videos are so helpful and informative. Thank you so much!
I have a panic disorder and your video helped me understand why my heart beats very fast. :)
:-) Thanks
April Elaine M. Would your heart randomly shoot up even if your were doing anything or worrying
Thank you so much for your channel and your advice. I have IST, and this resource has been invaluable. Please keep it up.
I found this video comforting , thank you. I started to feel sickly and got chills with a light elevation in temperature - this being Covid time I got tested with negative results. I was immunized but was insecure with the symptoms. I had a temperature only at night with chills and my resting pulse went every night up by one more beat per minute, from 66 to now 89. With several tests, nothing seems to be wrong. After being on antibiotics for 7 days all symptoms have disappeared but the heartrate is still up. My blood pressure is at around 100/65
Its not a perfect worl...
So more you worry. You will have high heart rate.......WORRIES
Hi doctor, thanks for a wonderful explanation, you're great! Thanks so much!
Dr. Sanjay is so SMART! He lets us fight his battle for him! How'd we do, Doc? 😘
Thank you for explaining this . I was diagnosed with SVT about 2 weeks ago after my heart rate got into the 170s . I’m currently wearing a holter to see exactly what’s going on while I wait to see a cardiologist.. I’m only 24. I was sent home on a beta blocker and it’s helped a lot . I’ve noticed that most of the time I’m fine unless I’m triggered by anxiety . I don’t have random attacks . Usually it happens after I’m really anxious. The tech thought maybe I was misdiagnosed because for most of the time I’m fine .
Same happened to me. Diagnosed with tachycardia at 22 about almost a year ago. Did a bunch of test (blood, X-ray, MRI, EKG, echocardiogram) everything is normal except I'm anemic. I do feel a tightness when breathing but nothing has been explained to me with answers. I was told I'm too young for beta blockers.
@@haileyanderson7870 Have you had Covid or the vaccine?
@@tigerspiritjourney no vaccine, will not even go there. Covid, maybe. I didn't test to see but I was sick about a month before all this started to happen.
@@haileyanderson7870 then how did you recovered?
@@ColorfulCanvass I still get shortness of breath a lot but it's not as bad as it used to be. I do also get anxious here and there so I think that affects my HR and breathing more than I realized at first. It just feels like I can't take in a deep breath a lot. My heart rate at resting is below 100s. Usually in the 80s - or low 90s if I've been working out/ stressed the day before or day of.
My HR gets between 110-130 when I'm walking around/ brisk walking at work (I'm a waitress) - I just started 2 weeks ago, so I hope over time that exercise will lower it. But other than that my blood pressure has lowered a little so that's great (:
Again so informative. Thank you so much for these videos. For someone that really suffers physically and mentally with these ectopics your videos are truly instrumental in understanding what the heck is happening without an immediate death sentence. Google is the worst place to ever seek for help, information and support.
thank you so much for the time and effort explaining everything that we need to know about heart rate you are really a big help.... GOD Bless you and your family!
This is a wonderful and informative presentation. It relieves anxiety greatly. I hope you make more videos like this for us who need the information only a cardiologist can offer.
Indeed you are truly teaching us alot
If you have 'unusually' (for you) high, or "pounding" heartrate, and prolonged, in response to big meals, after exercise, or any triggers including anxiety, it could be an early warning sign of hyperthyroidism. I wish I got tested sooner but I just put it down to "anxiety". Now I have to suffer much stronger responses, and more. My thyroid tested normal when I first noticed the symptoms, but don't ignore it if it keeps going on, or worsens. For me it was years before it relatively quickly got very bad and I finally sought help (I think for me it was triggered by a virus+menstruation) now I'm on beta blockers, and a high dose of anti-thyroid drugs, the latter takes time to really work, meanwhile I suffer day and night, sometimes it's very stressful
i am really proud of you doctor....why indian doctors are not effecient as like you...and you are so correct...and now i am relax from anxiety...my heart is 120 i thought i could die...
Thank you for this helpful, easy to understand video. I have had fast heart beat since I was in my late 20's, so has my sister and now my daughter, age 27 is also having them. My doctor put me on beta blockers and I have been on them for years. I hate to see my daughter go on a drug all of her life, too. She is an ultra marathon runner, US Naval Academy graduate, and just seems odd that she would get this too since she is so fit. If there is any guidance you can give for her being in such great shape.
She’s still on it? Is it inappropriate sinus tachycardia ?
nice video Doc, I am going in for a pacemaker and an AV node abrasion this Thursday. You videos have reinforced what my Doc has told me, for that I thank you.
My heart beat races while I am resting or sleeping not all the time but sometimes. I do not know the rate of it while it is happening all I can say is I can surely feel it. I had this before my Diabetic & blood pressure. I am 42 years old.
Lucky Underwood same. I also have chest tightness because of anxiety. I didn't sleep this night because I feel like I remain out of oxygen and I also get adrenaline rushes
Lucky Underwood we are same
Hydrumoe I am like this too how can it help stop this tho
if your chest get tighten might sure you are very tired you need to sleep. but however you need to consult your doctor for medicines i think
then when you getting rest or sleep your heart beat so fast. that is palpitations. its a normal.
Wow you must be a role model for a cardiologist. 👌👌👌
Thank you for this info. I feel so much better now.
Thank you for this. It makes me feel a little better. Today I got really stressed. Someone I know unintentionally triggered some bad memories and flashbacks for me, and I was reliving those experiences for a while because of my anxiety. I got so distressed that I skipped a meal. Well, after I ate, my heart rate felt higher than it normally does. I knew my body was still in a state of stress, so I didn’t think much of it. When I walked, though, and did deep breathing, it didn’t seem to come down. In fact, it felt like it was racing as I was walking, and I felt more winded than normal. I went to the ER just to get an EKG, and what I felt as a racing heart rate wasn’t more than 100 bpm (98 bpm). They kept me hooked up for a little before discharging me, and as I watched my heart rate on the monitor, I saw that what I perceived as racing was about 86 bpm….The doctor said I was fine, and I calmed down after getting some food in me…Has anybody else ever experienced a normal heart rate as racing? For me, my resting rate is usually in the 60’s or 70’s, so it was a little fast for me, but I wonder if the stressed out state that my body was in just made me more aware of my heart beat…and then with more awareness might have come some hyperventilating that made it feel even faster. What an experience! 😅
how do i reduce my heart rate when i sleep. after i had a stent put in
it increases a lot when i lay down to sleep. i get up every hr r 2. my
heart is racing.
L
CHECK FOR SLEEP APNEA if you wake up and your heart is racing it could be apnea. Get a sleep study
And I wake up too every but I havent pit stent and I had a fast heart beat
Thank you Doctor, been having SVT episodes for past two years noone has ever explained it to me as well as you did.
Thank you for having answered to many questions i had... i suffer from elevated resting(90/100) /walking(120-150) heart rate almost every day for the past 4 years without any reason. did all the possible checks without any indication of cardiovascular or hormonal problem. Still no clue .
I am experiencing exactly similar. Undergoing checks. I had an episode of Hyperthyroid few years ago and I believe something changed that time. Though T3, T4 and TSH levels are normal, some of the other symptoms like high metabolism and high pulse continue. I am trying homeopathic magnesium supplements. I have also observed that hear rate increasing when there are some digestion / blotting problems. I have also figured that certain food like dark chocolate, Wine, mint etc are triggers for me, But there isn't a correct cause known yet. Just thought of letting you know as this community need to share a lot with each other on what worked and what not? Deep and abdominal breathing does give a temporary effect. I believe all people who were anxious or too fast in actions during their young age face such things later. Not sure if you can relate to this.
@@sandeepgokhale5226 do you have updates I have the same problem
Listening to ur talk is indeed enlightening as it gives us authentic and reliable and trustworthy knowledge. Many grateful thanks.
thank you for your awareness!!!! please continue educating people like myself who are dealing with such things!
Thank you very much my mom have to go get her heart checked it is beating fast I will tell them to check for all of what you called out thank you keep doing these videos ❤👍
I sometimes would wake up in the middle of the night & my heart would be racing.
Same here
Pls have your blood sugar , thyroid and cortisol check.
Marc Chatow it’s happened to me so scary I call ambulance and by the time they come it’s calmed down but they take me hospital I get bloods tests and everything ok after from low blood sugar sometimes.
Maybe Sleep ApneA
@تلاوات القران - Tilawat Al-Quran yeah may be that’s another reason but from my experienced that’s what happened until i got treated and i’m fine now
You have 440K subs. That ain't bad. Your channel is doing great.
Thank you so much for posting this, you have made such a difference to my life right now. I have been worried sick since my doctor told me I had 130 bpm last week and put me on beta-blockers (which I am not taking due to side effects). I have numerous other health conditions as well as being in withdrawal from Amitriptyline which are likely to be the cause. To hear it from a cardiologist has reassured me. I know I need more exercise and a better diet which I have already started to do. I really can't thank you enough for this video.
My heart rate 40 per minute
Is it dangerous
