Dr Sanjay last week my divorce was finalized and l haven't slept good in 3yrs and was on a cpac machine. And each night since my divorce l have been sleeping more and last night l got 7hrs of sleep. Hallelujah!!! And l haven't felt any heart pain.. Can't wait to see my cardiologist to tell him the good news. Stress and Abuse can also affect the heart and insomnia. Love listening to you explain about the heart. Blessing to you and your family.
Thank you for a clear refresher. I am a retired critical care RN and everything you said was very easy to understand and an excellent reminder of knowledge I had forgotten.
Is he the son of Sanjay Gupta from fox news and who used to be on the CCTV monitors in clinics before fox? He looks a little old to be his son but if it's him he should use Jr. to avoid confustion. Maybe the name is common in his culture? Cuz I know this isn't THE Sanjay Gupta I used to watch daily.
@Michael G WHAT? Who said I watch Fox news? I haven't watched that since 2010! Thanks mainly to Shepard Smith. Couldn't stand him and the other anchors yelling at the guest segments.
Thank you for this informative video. I believe my husband has low Oxygen saturation. For two years he has been unable to walk more than 15 ft without becoming out of breath and his Oxygen levels drop into the 70’s. As soon as he sits down the levels come back to normal above 95% oxygen. I figured this out myself and have not been able to explain it to the doctors. He now has CHF and spent 2 weeks in the hospital because of fluid overload. I tried to explain the problem to the cardiologist at the hospital, but he ignored me. My husband is a 100% disabled vet and the VA tries to care for him, but I fear they are failing him. I fear My husband will pass away before I can get him help. Thanks to this video, I can now explain the problem my husband is having and show them the video. You sir are a god send.
I've trained myself to breathe deeply through the nose instead of the mouth at all times for higher O2 readings. Thank you doctor for another excellent video.
Ive never been able to swim even the length of the pool as a child, and being around a body shop as an adult is not helpful. Ive made it to 76 and have dealt with not sleeping at night by spelling in my tummy a bit to make a deep breath. Works for now.
Thank you for posting this. I am 80 years old and have been looking for this information for most of my life and now you have finally explained blood pressure in an understandable way.
Youre the best cardiologist and very down to earth. Please, keep it up Doc.We appreciate all the information that you have provided us and they' re very useful and applicable on a daily basis. Thank you so much!!!
My God. You’re a professor in cardiology, in 14 minutes covered the subject more than 100% with even small details that are unnoticeable ex. Fingernails polish. I really wish my cardiologists would give me even 20% info of during my visits. Thank you prof.
Thank you more than I can say - your information has helped me understand how and why my life partner (Of 75), died of one of these conditions which the Specialist described as a form of pneumonia. He was falling asleep regularly over the few days before he was admitted, but had no coughing or other distress. She described it as "the old man's gift", and he died peacefully only on oxygen - no ventilator as we had agreed not to have any artificial support. A very clear and understandable explanation - thank you.
As a heart patient, your information is extremely valuable. Even though my cardiologist is at Mayo Clinic, that doesn't mean they know everything and most are too busy to spend extra time answering "mundane" questions. I end up coming home having to "google" different terminology. You have clarified so much information and you are truly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time and knowledge.
It is so interesting to hear you explain everything so well. As a cardiac patient I am grateful for the knowledge that you are providing me that I otherwise would never have the opportunity to learn. Thank you so much. A dedicated student. Jim
thank you so much for all your videos and dedication to us folk out here. as an old cardio patient it just wonderful to get an education in what we face each day.
I have small red blood in my bone marrow doesn't work right I take a lot of iron to build up my blood cells but they're still little and yes I have problem with my oxygen
Thankyou for ending my confusion. My partner was in the throes of a heart attack and whilst waiting for the ambulance, I tested his oxygen saturations, they were 99. I was so confused. He had a thrombus. It s clear now, thankyou.
Thank you, Sanjay. The explanations in your videos are immensely helpful. Your integrity and desire/dedication to genuinely help people is inspiring. --Elliott
Thanks so much Dr. You are the best and I have learnt so much in a few minutes. Now I know my troubling condition. I wonder if I have the device near me. Will check . Thank you be blessed
I first discovered your reassuring videos about 13 months ago when I was diagnosed with paroxysmal a fib. I’m 54 and otherwise in good health. Touch wood, I haven’t had any episodes since but I find myself following you on RUclips now, even when the subject doesn’t apply to me. I’ve become a big fan of yours, you really have been a strength to me and I can’t thank you enough 👍🏻
Thank you again Dr! So helpful and well explained. I am a new owner of a pulse oximeter and living at 6000’ elevation and found this video very helpful. Have a great 2022!
The problem with the doctors in the US is that they don’t want to continue research or clinical. They don’t attend summits to learn more to understand their patients. It’s as if we have to teach the doctors everything…like help treat us doctors. No extra education given after they graduate besides the basics…it’s sucks and hearts my heart that they put in so much years to not really understand the human body. This doctor is the brain 🧠 the true source…can you move to the US and change the ignorant minds . ❤❤❤ we love you sir
Happy New Year - as always, thank you so much for your insights they have made a lot of difference to me and my convoluted health problems. Good to see you looking well again.
Thank u Dr. Sanjay i had a heart attack 1 month ago. U hv helped me to understand what happened to me through yr teachings. Indeed u are an educator in cardiology. May God continue to bless u beyond measure🙏♥️
Thank you again, Doctor! All good wishes and blessings to you and yours (including Bluebell Gupta of course!) in the year ahead! I don't know if you realise how grateful so many of us are for your information and presence in our lives.
Thanks for the Information, I have just ordered a pulse oximeter and your video has helped me to understand the readings and what they may indicate. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Happy and healthy new year to you and yours.. Your videos are always educational and extremely useful for everyone including front line health care professionals. You are one in a million. All your patients are so lucky to have you.. 🤗
This was so useful. I thought I had heart problem but I’ve just been diagnosed with dysfunctional breathing pattern which causes me to hyperventilate on exertion. This video explained it so succinctly. Thank you
Thank you for your explaination, I was diagnosed with moderately severe hypoxemia and now understand why I also had a high blood count. Much appreciated.
Thank you wonderful Doctor. With you recommended magnesium that I have been taking for years now, I no longer have mitro valve prolapse, heart murmur. You, among others are a gift to mankind. My heart thanks you.
This was so extremely helpful, especially at this time. You are an amazing humanitarian, beside being a very knowledgeable physician, and I truly admire your dedication to medicine and your fellow human beings. I wish you a peaceful and healthy year ahead and always.
Thank You Sanjay for being a caring Doctor enough to even take time out of your day to share your thoughts and wisdom on this forum. I loved your explanation on Hypo/Hyper poxes
Thank you so much! We have a pulseometer here at home because our son had tracheamalacia due to a tracheostomy in ITU 25 years ago in itu (after a head injury on a bike). I never knew those differences in readings but luckily a great Consultant thoracic surgeon at the Royal Brompton fitted a y-shape silicone stent until the damage healed so they removed it and he's now been fine for six years breathing normally. Fingers crossed. I also have been told that the heart rate on a pulse oximeter reads very low if someone is having PVCs or Afib. Bit scary. Thanks again
Sanjay always does a wonderful job explaining such complex issues into ways that us common people can understand. I have had low oxygen levels for some time. My readins will vary but mostly they fall between 91 and 94 and tend to be that low when i lay down. I feel that when i lay in a position that pushes on my lungs directly, it causes low oxygen level. Had a sleep apnea test and it came back fine. I keep bringing these low oxygen levels to my cardiologist's attention and they don't seem to think it's a problem. I disagree.
@@Loz-Loz12345 What I found out(which is very limited in scope) is that because I had been suffering from a GI tract issue, I was constantly bloated. This would cause my lungs 🫁 to have increased pressure from those organs(stomach & large intestine) which would affect my lungs from being able to fully expand. This was more prominent at night when I layed due to my body weight. I couldn't lay on my stomach or sides anymore and ONLY my back when I sleep. Laying on my back allowed my lungs to fully inhale and exhale without obstruction.
Thank you so much Doctor! You are an amazing educator and explainer.... clear and enough detail so I can understand the mechanisms well. After watching your videos I always come away with a basic working understanding of the topic. Have a Grand and Happy New Year!! God bless
An excellent presentation, clear and concise. I am 76, quite fit but with a saturation level of 93 and a resting heart rate in the high fifties. Upon exertion my sats go up to 96 or 97. It has been like this for some years. I would love to know why, and whether or not it is significant.
Thank you very much for your time and expertise, helping to educate in a way that makes sense. It is very appreciated by all Med/Physio/Nursing students, Qualified Health professionals and patients. Your a wonderful educator ❤
Happy new year to you Dr. Sanjay! This session is so valued, Im a patient who had many faintish moments, this talk is so important for patients like me, I thankyou whole heartedly.
Happy 2022!! Thank you for the medical knowledge you share. Your time is so appreciated and helpful. The content is made simple for lay people to understand. Thank you and God bless!
Excellent lecture. Your explanatory skill is exceptional. To My knowledge no one has covered this topic and I don't know why because it's a common issue so that makes your video stand out
thank you for caring enough to make the complexities of the body and problems in health and healthcare more clear. best wishes for your 2022, may it be the best year yet!
I have one I have COPD and I actually said exactly what you said to my doctor and I had also checked my BP he definitely checked my heart listened very carefully.
Thank you for sharing you extensive knowledge with us. You have a warm calming voice with a wonderful accent. The information you share is vital to me as I have had two Heart Attacks.
@@bingm8109 he was very poorly , yes he did oxymiter , oxygen i. The bed before hospital saved his life , I thought he had stroke , he was confused and talked nonsense well scary time behind us but the result of postcovid still there nearly 1 year and he didn’t return to work … kind regards
Thank you for your well informed film. Just to let people know, I bought an oxygen reader from Argos for about £20. I still use it today. I am on extra oxygen (from December 2020) because of my heart condition since birth. For a few years I was on 91, until I receive extra oxygen. Generally, my oxygen can range from 86 to 93, with or without my added oxygen. I had TGA, Balock (?) and Mustard procedure. As an adult I have had balloon procedure, where the doctors enlarge an archery (I think). Hope this information is not too boring for you.
I'm so glad you addressed this. I have COPD and in Dec of 2019 had to call the rescue squad for shortness of breath that went from 'mostly ok' to' I'm -in-trouble' within minutes. I wasn't pushing air at all but the EMT's PO2 meter read 94. I'd noticed this discrepancy before - feeling I'm definitely NOT getting oxygen while the pulse O2 is within normal range. To me a pulse oximeter doesn't reflect the oxygen available to my lungs because of damage. Maybe over time low O2 would show on the meter, but not in every acute situation.
Thank you! I’m on a 3 week Cpap trial and I’m getting more tired and groggy after 2 nights usage. My Fitbit tells me my o2 saturation is reducing to low 90’s. I will be taking notes about my sleep history prior to the trial and during so I can be well informed about what steps to explore next. Of note, before I ever got tested for apnea (I have mild osa) I already researched possibilities for why I was so tired and and chronic low energy. That all led me to hypoxia that you mentioned. When I took this information to the doctor, I didn’t ever get a response. I hope it’s all a case of it gets a little worse before it gets better adjustment phase and nothing more. I’m 48 and have gotten very little accomplished in the past decade.
I had muscle spasms for years that were instantly resolved with 10 minutes on an O2 concentrator. O2 always showed at 96 or above during the day but severe untreatable speep apnea at night that I guess wasn't fixed during the day for some reason. It also kept me from building muscle which also resolved with 10 min of O2 per day.
Very many thanks indeed Mr Gupta, I needed that explanation and you were extremely informative and helpful! Very many thanks for all your wonderful videos and - your time!
Thank you. I recently had bad flu. A chemical sensitivity seemed to complicate it with a dreadful irritated cough in I think my bronchi. I didn’t have pneumonia or any bacterial infection. Since recovery my oximeter shows readings around 93/94% at rest despite feeling ok again. I do get angina at rest sometime. Found this reassuring & informative thanks. Wondering why the low readings though still.
Interesting stuff. I am a scuba dive; I had a shunt 5 years ago. It was caused by a PFO, a hole in the heat; it manifested as a bend. I was in the pot for a week. I had the hole closed, and I am now back to full diving.

Of note, before I ever got tested for apnea (I have mild osa) I already researched possibilities for why I was so tired and and chronic low energy. That all led me to hypoxia that you mentioned. When I took this information to the doctor, I didn’t ever get a response. I hope it’s all a case of it gets a little worse before it gets better adjustment phase and nothing more. I’m 48 and have gotten very little accomplished in the past decade.
Do you have full mask? Or just nostril? Go get full mask go back and change it

Thank you for another important video.
I had muscle spasms for years that were instantly resolved with 10 minutes on an O2 concentrator. O2 always showed at 96 or above during the day but severe untreatable speep apnea at night that I guess wasn't fixed during the day for some reason. It also kept me from building muscle which also resolved with 10 min of O2 per day.
Very useful information, all mechanisms made crystal clear. Thank you soo much. Lots of love from India❤️

very informative..Thank you..
Thank you. I recently had bad flu. A chemical sensitivity seemed to complicate it with a dreadful irritated cough in I think my bronchi. I didn’t have pneumonia or any bacterial infection. Since recovery my oximeter shows readings around 93/94% at rest despite feeling ok again. I do get angina at rest sometime. Found this reassuring & informative thanks. Wondering why the low readings though still.
Interesting stuff. I am a scuba dive; I had a shunt 5 years ago. It was caused by a PFO, a hole in the heat; it manifested as a bend. I was in the pot for a week. I had the hole closed, and I am now back to full diving.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, and your time to create this content.
