Doctor, what is your opinion on this: "The American Heart Association issued a news release headlined: “8-hour time-restricted eating linked to a 91% higher risk of cardiovascular death.” Is intermittent fasting dangerous?
1. Unusual fatigue 2. Mild angina 3. Shortness of breath 4. Sweating without exertion 5. Unexplained weakness 6. Nausea or vomiting 7. Dizzy or lightheadedness 8. Severe pain or pressure across the chest 9. Pain to left arm, pain in jaw, neck or shoulder 10. Severe shortness of breath. You are welcome.
My husband had the pain and tightening in his jaw and neck. He then had an increasing numbness and severe pain in his left leg. He had an aortic tear and dissection. Blood was not getting to his extremities. Thank God I was home and knew right away it was his heart and I called 911. He was life flighted to Cleveland Clinic where an amazing surgeon and team of medical professionals saved his life.
Be aware of "up coming hrt attk" I had 3 symptoms, went to hosp, they did blood enzyme test - shows a hrt attk! It was negative. Sched fr stress test week later - had silent hrt attk "mid week" bef S.Test! People resist acknowledging hrt attk symptoms! "Oh just indigestion!" DONT IGNORE THEM!! Cld cost you yr life!!!!!
Feb of this year I also survived an Aortic Dissection. I was hospitalized for 32 days. I am doing better now, but have had many unfortunate "side effects". I had brain swelling, massive blood transfusions, my kidneys were shutting down. I even had seizures during my almost 7 hour long operation. I just turned 47 years old. No history of illness or anything. I literally owe my life to the team that saved me. I have no memory at all of it, for which I am grateful. Every day is a struggle though. You're husband is a very lucky man he had you to look out for him. Every day truly is a gift. It changes you in so many ways when you're actually knocking on that door to the other side, and live to talk about it.
@@forsakenlife4873 i’m so sorry that you are dealing with so much after. It certainly is life altering. I pray that things get better for you. This coming Thursday will be my husband‘s two year check up. Hopefully we have nothing but good news, as he has had to deal with a brain tumor this year and the treatment that goes with it. He had brain surgery in June to get a biopsy and has been on radiation and chemo. He is struggling a lot with the lack of energy to do things, but he has a positive attitude, much better than me! . He is definitely a trooper and we are praying that this thing never returns, in spite of the statistics.
I did not have a heart attack BUT I was having angina that got worse over several months. My doctor was in denial but I consulted a cardiologist who put me on a Holter monitor. 6 weeks later an angiogram showed ONE artery 70% blocked. Heart attack averted! All my tests had been in normal range. Trust what your BODY is telling you.
@@KAT-dg6elthat’s exactly what my primary doctor did. She seemed annoyed when I told her I was going to see a cardiologist. Six months later she was as apologetic as I had hoped she might be. But as we know, most doctors do as the bloodwork dictates. In my case, the blood showed that I was fine.
I avoid CT scans and always ask for MRIs. There is no dangerous radiation with MRIs. Try to limit CT scans as they are much higher in radiation than normal xrays. Glad to hear you are ok
@@now591 one stent was inserted at the time of the angiogram. Then went to heart rehab (monitored supervised cardio) for 4 months. Ignored diet advised by American Heart Association, which is all the things the food pyramid promotes.
HAD a severe heart attack, eight blockages, some up to 90% about 5 years ago.. Only one symptom, a severe pain across my chest. I waited to call 911 until i got the pain in my left arm. There was not even the slightest arm pain, so do not wait for it. After 20 minutes of intense pain I called 911. After three stents I am doing well.
@@David-q4w1b thanks for your prayers. I am fine. EF greater than 45%. I just made the comment so that people would not wait for a pain in their left arm. I did not have any left arm pain at all.
My husband thought he had heartburn for 3 weeks and kept taking tums. He was driving to town to get more tums and lost his vision. He stopped the truck, heard another car coming and waved it down. (We live in the country.) the person that stopped to help him was the head nurse at the icu unit. She told him he was having a heart attack and called an ambulance. 4 stents. 10 years ago and doing well. If he still had tums he would have died at home.
What a miracle! Wow that story gave me chills because how often would someone stop for a stranger waving them down and that person be a nurse that’s going to save their life wow !
My brother in law had the same thing. He thought it was heartburn for weeks. Before dinner, took a nap, and his daughter went to wake him up and she couldn't. Called 911 & he went to hospital & was saved. This was about 3 years ago.
@@drekbergme too! Your videos are wonderful! You use visual and audio so I need to watch, not just listen. I try to do it when I rest/eat/dishes…I appreciate the 15-20 minute ones. Thanks!
Wanted to share my mother's experience in hopes it may help someone else. Along with the incredible fatigue along with a few of the symptoms mentioned; she did not have chest, arm, or shoulder pain but kept complaining that her tongue felt incredibly heavy. I am a nurse & figured it was her heart & started with her chewing aspirin. She ended up with 4 stents, 2 90% occlusions & 2 75%. That was over 20 years ago & has done well since. So keep eye out for those weird signs & symptoms, not everyone fits in the box.
It is a known fact that the majority of women do not get chest nor arm pain. Women after all, R not "Little Men" nor should they be considered the "woe•of•men" which is why I spell woman/women as *womyn*'in the 21st century to make this distinction and girl as gyrl.. to show we have more choices & can be more knowledgeable if we choose to be today. Some men may be trying to send us back to 1864, but this womyn is proud to stand her ground and not regress. I am very happy to be a dedicated *Life Champion* & to faithfully listen to Dr. Sten Ekberg's sage advice on how to be pro-active about my health & not allowing it to be compromised by anyone. Thank You Dr. Ekberg. Gracías Amigo. 🌿💙
It's worth noting that it appears women are more prone to atypical presentations of heart attacks and their precursors. Never hesitate to get checked out ladies if your body is telling you something is afoot
I had literally none of these symptoms except a strange tightness in my upper chest, I drove myself to the hospital and by the time I got there I knew something was seriously wrong and imminent. Shortly after getting into the emergency room I was asked to sit up to take an X-ray. I blacked out and my heart stopped. I was defibrillated and my heart started beating again, then 5 minutes later it stopped again and was defibrillated a second time. I was taken to the Cath lab and had a stent placed in the central artery in my heart. I had a 100% blockage from some plaque that came loose somewhere in my blood stream. I was released from the hospital less than 48 hours later. Moral of the story? Listen to your body and go to the emergency room if you don’t feel right.
Wow that's quite the story, amazing job navigating that experience. I hope I have the same level of self awareness if the time comes. Glad you still exist and enjoy your life 🎉
Hey man i hope you make/made a full recovery and are able to address the underlying cause. Do you mind sharing info on your age, eating, physical activity etc? That helps others to understand the context.
A month before my grandmother passed away, she was feeling heaviness in the chest and shoulders. I told her three times to get it checked with the doctor during that time. One week before she passed away she was feeling diziness, while she did manage to see a doctor, unfortunately it was not a cardiologist and she was just given medicine for migraine. Four days before she passed away, she was sweating heavily and had discomfort in her stomach, we all just assumed it was constipation. And on her last few hours, she had intense stomach pain that she never felt before and was rushed to the emergency room and after a few minutes she had a heart attack and cardiac arrest. I only wish I took her symptoms more seriously and have seen more educational life saving videos like this since my other grandmother died of heart failure and my uncle died of a heart attack this 2024 as well.
@@Red-n5r my grandmother was intubated towards the end, I don't know if they did the right thing. When she was brought to the emergency room, they probably didn't know she was already having a heart attack.
What I love about ketosis is that energy has increased My stomach it's a game changer getting flat and I used to hate going to the doctor and Now I love it especially getting good Lab results, My sweet tooth is gone most of all I can enjoy my life again after so many years of Bad health and severe pain.
Wonderful video. My family has a history of heart disease, so this topic has always been of interest to me. My dad died of a sudden heart attack at 49. Several family members have heart disease. Your videos on heart issues are very important to educate people. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
A worrying thought I have is that all these symptoms are exactly what I get with anxiety. All my medical diagnosis attributes my left chest pains to anxiety (which they are). But when I eventually get an actual heart problem, I'm sacred of thinking "Oh, just probably a panic attack".
That is partly why you have anxiety. You are worrying too much about these things. These health videos on RUclips are dangerous, they scare people into a very anxious state. Everything you could possible eat is bad, every symptom could be cancer or a heart attack. The best thing you can do is stay FAR away from these videos. They seem like the are promoting health, but they are promoting fear. Stress from these worries, is FAR worse than anything you will eat. Stay away from these health expert videos and you can thank me later. Enjoy life.
I am getting a stress test on Tuesday to follow up from my ER visit two weeks ago. I had extremely stress for almost a month and now I truly believe it was panic attacks. I eat paleo or at times healthy keto. But checking to make sure. I also have had mold maybe still some and I know it causes all kind of symptoms like pots! So eating healthy helps most of my symptoms but if I start eating gluten free junk like rice flour and some sugar you better believe I feel like crap
I can relate to what your going through. I ended up at the ER a few times thinking I was having a heart attack. It was a severe case of acid reflux. I had all the classic heart attack symptoms but they told me my heart was fine. I asked several doctors and nurses how can a paerson know the difference between heart attacks and acid reflux attacks? They all told me there is no way of knowing. Good to know huh? LOL. I recently asked my primary the same thing, only with anxiety that I am now suffering. I was told that with a heart attack you will feel an intense pressure in your chest like an elephant sitting on you, and you will feel squeezing in your chest. I have been able to get through panic and anxiety attacks easier now, knowing that is all they are. Before I was making them worse by "thinking" I was having a heart attack. Hope this helps 😀
I had a heart attack about 6 months ago.(at the age of 42) I checked off everything in this video. Don't do like I did and wait as the symptoms stack up. I had 100% blockage in one artery and doc said I wouldn't have made it if I waited even an hour longer. Thankfully now I feel more physically fit than I have in 20 years.
@@raymondciarleglio2394 I was. However, I think the cause of my heart attack was my sedentary lifestyle and the 20+ years of smoking and drinking like a Russian sailor.
To be healthy after 40 years, you need to start taking care of your health from the age of 20. But even now it is not too late. Thank you doctor, you are right.
@@drekberg cudownie!!! 👏👍💓💓💓 W Polsce jest bardzo silny ruch społeczności Keto lub niskowęglowodanowej, za sprawą bardzo prężnej fundacji braci Rodzeń - lekarzy bliźniaków, którzy propagują tą dietę idąc pod prąd medycyny mainsteamowej.
Thank you doc. I am sure you are right. But I (55yrs) feel and get always tired and weak when I am doing nothing - Getting alive while cycling in fresh air.
You didn't mention "phantom tooth ache", probably associated with the jaw pain you mentioned, but before my heart attack and subsequent bypass surgery I had two molars removed from my RH upper jaw. The dentist didn't want to take them out because he couldn't see anything wrong with the teeth, but I insisted on both separate occasions that the teeth were aching and had to come out. My Cardiologist called it "referred pain".
I had what I thought was tooth ache in the lower right jaw that came and went too, followed by neck or throat tightening. It always went away after a few hours so I didn't go to the dentist.
Many of these symptoms are the same as a panic attack. For years I have suffered withe many of these symptoms when I awaken from a sound sleep. I've been checked out by a cardiologist and my heart seems fine. These episodes occur every few months starting a few years ago. I'm a 57-year-old otherwise healthy female.
Same i m 30 male, but i only had it twice. I learned a lot about it and i think i can handle it if it will ever happen again. Meditation the right mindset and breathing exercise help a lot to avoid panic attacks.
Intersting video. A year ago I had a 5 x bypass and the only symptom I felt out of those ten was the shortness of breath. No pain, no tiredness, no weakness. In fact I had the symptoms in the morning and drove 700km but only after calling into a hospital with the shortness of breath issue that morning, and being told that I was fine by the hospital. I continued on my journey until around 4pm whereupon I called into another medical clinic where the reception was very different and very serious. A Non-drinker, non-smoker and and an avid cyclist. Next minute I'm on an operating table getting sliced open. Still shocks me even now. The surgeon told me that if I wasn't so fit I would be dead. Didn't stop me from nearly dying though.
leider werden die Signale vorher spürt nicht ernst genommen. Es wird auf die Psyche geschoben. Hatte großes Glück das ein Notarzt meine Beschwerden erst genommen hat . Dafür danke ich ❤ es war im Urlaub Mecklenburg Vorpommern.
There are malabsorption issues on my father's side, & I Noticed that if I am low on Potassium, and go to ride the bike, it feels like my heart is palpitating and I feel anxious suddenly. I go back home, take a Potassium with a large glass of water and wait about 10 minutes, I go back out no problem. I also take Magnesium at night... I can always tell if my minerals are low... Excellent video...thank you for enhancing our awareness 👍
Thank You @marilucorracini550 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Brothers and sisters, trust God when you pray it works. He said all we need to do is ask in prayers. My testimony spans from penury to $127,000 bimonthly, and you stay and doubt that he doesn't answer prayers. Make that altar now and spend time there. A change is in the way. Amen!!!
While I was visiting my friend in the hospital. I noticed a food truck in front of the hospital, the cafeteria and patients food + drink machines Was like a bad dream
I’m shocked at the level of sugar being served in hospitals and blood banks. But if all they’ve been taught for 50 years is meat and fat are bad…? All that’s left is sugar. SAD.
Sounds like you have an exciting life. If you watch enough youtube health videos, you won't even want to drink water. Just eat things in moderation, exercise and enjoy life. Don't be a fatty also lol.
As I understand it, women often go undiagnosed because the symptoms experienced are subtlely different. Inexplicable indigestion- or the sense of indigestion maybe one of those sign.
I had 2 open heart surgery the whole time I knew it was my heart. But my doctors said that my EKg was very good But I had chests pain, left arm and Jaw pain and I was very weak and felt tired. I remember getting my heart doctor on the phone to see if he could help me out.. without getting sent back home from the hospital. Within 20 to 30 minutes My heart doctor came to get the ER doctor straight I ended up having 3 blocked and a blood clot In my leg. Within 7 years I had another open heart surgery with the same symptoms
My dad thought he had influenza. Even slept on the couch so she wouldn't catch it. That's where she found him. This is important information that people have in advance if they just pay attention.
Chest Pressure "like an elephant" or "like an anvil"... is a very ambiguous description. BUT... Everyone can relate to the feeling of swallowing food, but having it kind of get stuck, slowly moving down to the stomach... THAT feeling is the feeling we're talking about. That uncomfortable feeling is VERY similar to the chest pressure of a heart attack. That is an uncomfortable feeling of pressure/discomfort in your upper chest. It's NOT necessarily painful. If you feel that, but you are NOT eating, then GO. See your doctor. NOW. Don't wait. Be the 30% that +survive+ their heart attack. For me, that was a 95% blockage of my Widowmaker.
I just had the fatigue and a bit of weakness before my heart attack. It's good to know these, because often the doctors will tell you the first sign of a heart attack is death.
I had a heart attack about one month ago (my second), and I hope anything here might be of help to people. At 6:00 am, I sat at my desk at work, as normal, and in the next few minutes, I simply felt "unsettled," not sure how else to describe it. After a few minutes, I realized what was happening and I sought help. The result was 3 stents in an artery-bypass graft from 10 years ago. (I had 5 bypasses then; I hope this doesn't mean I have 4 more episodes to go.) During the heart attack, my sense was a severe aching pain. I could breathe normally, except the extreme pain made it difficult. One obvious sign of heart problems (in hindsight) that I was headed for trouble was a bluish tinge to my hands. At my new job, I work with a purple chemical, and even though I wear gloves, I stupidly thought the discoloration was from the chemical, but obviously it was due to heart issues. What is remarkable, and scary, is that I had the heart attack Monday morning. By Monday at noon, I was essentially out-of-the-woods. I went back to work on Thursday that week, because I need the money. Other than a relatively harmless hematoma at the femoral artery catheter site, I'm a walking miracle. I have one last concern, which is the 3 stents in my cardiac artery. By their very presence, they will attract cholesterol to soothe the irritation of a foreign body. My cholesterol was at 290 when they measured it; I got it up from 190 many years ago, and now I have to worry about it clogging the stents. My doctor, good a surgeon as he is, want my cholesterol down to 55, which just makes my brain scream. So, feeling my way along, not sure what to do, and taking it all one day at a time.
LDL cholesterol ~50 is not unusual these days with Pcsk9 inhibitors help. The notion low cholesterol numbers will adversely affect other body parts has not been proven. Going forward, given your history, your must always cognizant of adverse cardiac symptoms.
Hi, if you want to lower your cholesterol, you have to cut out meats , dairy and only use a small amount of avocado oil ( if you must ) when cooking. Good luck and God Bless You
Thank you for sharing these important warning signs of a heart attack! This knowledge could truly save lives. Looking forward to more valuable health insights from your channel!
I just went through this and the only sign I had was angina and severe PVCs/ palpitations. If you get PVCs out of no where and they come and go but never fully go away then this is a sign of your heart struggling. I hope this helps someone.
@ElizabethAdams-r3v Premature ventricular contraction. An extra half beat. Feels like your heart is an off-balance washing machine. I get them occasionally, confirmed by Holter monitor.
I wish you’d pointed out that the signs often differ between men and women : such as pain more like indigestion that is often experienced by women (without the typical chest and arm pain) and therefore missed or misdiagnosed.
lucky for me. I've never experienced any of these sympthoms so far. Constant tiredness and weakness in general is a warning sign that anything isn't as it's used to.
Many other illness/disease which have these symptoms. I have CFS/Fibro and have all of these no heart disease or heart attack had these symptoms for over 20 years. Cases of people with extreme anxiety which have these symptoms.
That's me. Ive admitted myself to hospital on several occasions with heart attack symptoms and been told every time after blood tests and ECG tests that I'm fine. I haven't even watched this video, came to look at the comments and I'm glad to see these type of comments.
GREAT info as always... Just had an eccograph done on my Carotide arteries, to see if there's any problem. They answer is no! Just a little 1.1mm thickness of the wall, but fortunately no plaques....😀😀
Imagine a world where you are the head of WHO. We do have very impressive humans capable of making a change your kindness level can only be matched by your knowledge. Thanks.
Thank You @Henk136. I just got the feature restored on my account and I will be uploading in multiple languages from now on. I'm also working on translating most of the past videos. 😄
I live in the uk and the doctors here are atrocious. They’re terrible. I’ve been to the doctors many times and they don’t do anything. Called an ambulance twice because my heart was beating out of rhythm rapidly on different occasions and the second time the ambulance was called, the ambulance crew just said it’s anxiety lol. Unbelievable medical negligence
I think an irregular heartbeat is just part of the human condition.. my heart skips beats.. pauses, restarts and will beat regularly for a while.. then rinse and repeat. I only notice when Im tired, or simply just focused on it... anxiety can mimic a boatload of problems that might seem serious at the time though..
@@drewpknutz1410 my condition is not remotely the same as you described. Mine can be for days at a time constantly skipping beats. It’s called palpitations. I need to get tested for afib. But in the uk that will be impossible
@@kielfinnegan143 Huh?, your original post was 3 weeks ago.. there is no way you havent been examined by now if you felt it was important.. UK medicine CANT be that bad
That’s your goobermint run healthcare folks! Listen to our British comrade here. People flock from all over the world to come to the US to get healthcare they can’t get in their own country. Government Healthcare in the United States would be taking the Post Office and adding cancer!
They do. I got an impending feeling of doom and I cried for no reason. I knew something was wrong but i d8dnt know what. I was actually in the middle of a heart attack. But days before I could not breathe well. I was tired and sleepy. I was agitated. I kept taking aspirin. No idea why. Then I turned grey and I went to see doctor which is why I cried in office because I could not explain that feeling of doom.
Thank You @ElizabethVAllen. There are some differences, but not completely different. It is mostly the ranking of each sign that is different. Also women are more likely to experience subtle symptoms like stress anxiety or GI-issues. (Or maybe men are just more stubborn and ignore them.) 😄
I recently had a heart attack. I had most of symptoms shown here in the weeks and months prior the the heart attack. But even if I had seen this before the heart attack I would not have been able to see a cardiologist in my area. They book out three months or more. You can only get in sooner if you are referred by an ER doctor.
I had no clue that I was about to have a STEMI ! I was tired but thought it was jet lag as if just flown to New York few days before. I had shoulder pain but thought it was my rucksack 🎒 being too heavy then boom 💥 I had full blown STEMI
In my local hospital, they have vending machines with Red Bull 'energy' drinks in them. I can't think of a more (non alcoholic) unhealthy drink, yet they sell them here. I'm in the UK.
Excellent explanation. I had heard of the symptoms, but I didn’t understand why. I really appreciate your work doctor Eckberg, my whole life I over eat sugar and grain and potato products. I was addicted to these carbohydrates and about five years ago I was diagnosed with pre-diabetesz By that time, there was a lot of good information on the Internet from other good doctors like yourself talking about low carbohydrate nutrition And therapeutic fasting. Using this knowledge I’ve reversed my trend to pre-diabetes and I’ve never felt better but I have history of heart and stroke issues in my family so I need to be even more vigilant about Lifestyle and monitoring , my arteries. Again, I’m so Grateful for your honest and life saving work. God bless you.
When I had a heart attack it started with sweating and feeling sick, I got in recovery position and waited for ambulance luckily I survived but R.i.p to less fortunate.
I've had most of these symptoms until I went on a keto diet combined with intermittent fasting. After about 3 weeks or a month all these symptoms were gone and 2.5 years later they haven't returned.
Does it matter? You can't see a cardiologist for 2 months anyway and none of these will show as anything abnormal in the ER, so they'll send you home and tell you to make an appointment with a cardiologist.
For women especially, watch for jaw or tooth pain or upper back pain as heart warning signs. For a couple of years before my heart attack, I had bad upper back pain come and go for no apparent reason. Also regularly had what felt like toothache that came and went, usually with neck or throat tightening. My doctor was dismissive of my symptoms, including the shortness of breath on slight exertion, blaming smoking for everything, even after a chest xray showed clear lungs. Doctors have their own biases and can be useless in identifying heart symptoms that are not typical.
I've had almost all these signs for over fifteen years now. Never know when to go to the er. Always get told I'm fine. Sliping rib syndrome, cervical stenosis ends up being the culprit.
I had a "ventricular standstill" with no signs or family history of such things, and which very nearly killed me. I'm now stuck with an ICD for the rest of my time.
Thank you for this clear explanation. I have been struggling with A-Fib for the past seven years. I have had four ablations, and am most liking headed for a fifth...I changed my diet to one that is Keto, but more protein, eat only two meals, and am loosing weight. Thanks again...your videos are very important to me.❤
I had 1 ablation then it eventually it came back so went keto/ketovore and didn't fix it until I cut out alcohol and caffeine and started using electrolytes and haven't had any A-fib for over 4 months plus I also take Magnesium Cyanate capsules .I have just recently changed diet to Carnivore in the last few weeks so hope you can sort this out without naturally without another ablation
@@paulbirkbeck1790 The electrolytes I use are called LMNT and are in a powder form.I am not 100% sure what fixed afib but I think it is a combination of Carnivore and cutting out alcohol and caffeine also loosing weight and getting fitter plus I also read somewhere that alcohol and caffeine block the absorbion of the electrolytes which are essential for sending electrical signals to the heart.Hope this helps😀
Had a double bypass, full chest cracking, 4 months ago. I went to ER not realizing I was having a heart attack, I had upper stomach pain, little shortness of breath, especially after I ate, was feeling fatigued for a few months, just thinking this is what 58 feels like.
Sounds like my weekly nightly panic attack, I thought maybe it was a heart attack but after I woke up the next day I knew it was just a panic attack. Who really cares tbh
Try it with meditation, calm music, breathing exercise and work on your mindset with maybe stoicism or something similar. I only had really heavy panic attacks twice in the last years but i know its an very awful experience. But inm thankful i had that experience i learned a lot about it the body and mind to avoid it even if it hard sometimes its all just in the head.
Hi Dr Sten. I’ve had some ongoing health issues that began after preeclampsia, birth trauma, surgery, and COVID-19 in 2020. Despite multiple tests and consultations, I’m still looking for answers. Here’s what I’m experiencing: - Light-headedness, head rushes, and brief blackouts while sitting or standing. - A boat-like swaying sensation and constant disorientation. - Blood pressure spikes to 180/90 upon standing, then normalizes. - Vision disturbances, eye strain, and ear symptoms like crackling and tinnitus. - Heart palpitations with a pulse increase of about 25 bpm that quickly settles. - Extreme fatigue, weakness, body aches, and derealization. My doctor is considering Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I’d be incredibly grateful for any advice or insights you might have and managing these symptoms. Thanks, Chlöe

Doctor, what is your opinion on this:
"The American Heart Association issued a news release headlined: “8-hour time-restricted eating linked to a 91% higher risk of cardiovascular death.”
Is intermittent fasting dangerous?
Do you believe someone should be on statins after a stroke?

1. Unusual fatigue 2. Mild angina 3. Shortness of breath 4. Sweating without exertion 5. Unexplained weakness 6. Nausea or vomiting 7. Dizzy or lightheadedness 8. Severe pain or pressure across the chest 9. Pain to left arm, pain in jaw, neck or shoulder 10. Severe shortness of breath. You are welcome.
Oh, so the last 5 years.
Yes, thank you.

This coming Thursday will be my husband‘s two year check up. Hopefully we have nothing but good news, as he has had to deal with a brain tumor this year and the treatment that goes with it. He had brain surgery in June to get a biopsy and has been on radiation and chemo. He is struggling a lot with the lack of energy to do things, but he has a positive attitude, much better than me! . He is definitely a trooper and we are praying that this thing never returns, in spite of the statistics.
I did not have a heart attack BUT I was having angina that got worse over several months. My doctor was in denial but I consulted a cardiologist who put me on a Holter monitor. 6 weeks later an angiogram showed ONE artery 70% blocked. Heart attack averted! All my tests had been in normal range. Trust what your BODY is telling you.
@@KAT-dg6elthat’s exactly what my primary doctor did. She seemed annoyed when I told her I was going to see a cardiologist. Six months later she was as apologetic as I had hoped she might be. But as we know, most doctors do as the bloodwork dictates. In my case, the blood showed that I was fine.
@@mariehughey5390 How did you resolve the blocked artery?
I avoid CT scans and always ask for MRIs. There is no dangerous radiation with MRIs. Try to limit CT scans as they are much higher in radiation than normal xrays. Glad to hear you are ok
@@now591 Food, cholesterol, weight, exercise, etc. Just look it up. "How to unclog your arteries"
@@now591 one stent was inserted at the time of the angiogram. Then went to heart rehab (monitored supervised cardio) for 4 months. Ignored diet advised by American Heart Association, which is all the things the food pyramid promotes.
HAD a severe heart attack, eight blockages, some up to 90% about 5 years ago.. Only one symptom, a severe pain across my chest. I waited to call 911 until i got the pain in my left arm. There was not even the slightest arm pain, so do not wait for it. After 20 minutes of intense pain I called 911. After three stents I am doing well.
Fortunate, earlier response avoids permanent heart damage.
@@Red-n5r the point was, THERE WAS NO PAIN IN MY ARM AT ANY TIME.
Praying for you. ❤🙏
@@David-q4w1b thanks for your prayers. I am fine. EF greater than 45%. I just made the comment so that people would not wait for a pain in their left arm. I did not have any left arm pain at all.
@@georgejenkins3371 Awesome! So glad! 🙂
My husband thought he had heartburn for 3 weeks and kept taking tums. He was driving to town to get more tums and lost his vision. He stopped the truck, heard another car coming and waved it down. (We live in the country.) the person that stopped to help him was the head nurse at the icu unit. She told him he was having a heart attack and called an ambulance. 4 stents. 10 years ago and doing well. If he still had tums he would have died at home.
What a miracle! Wow that story gave me chills because how often would someone stop for a stranger waving them down and that person be a nurse that’s going to save their life wow !
My brother in law had the same thing. He thought it was heartburn for weeks. Before dinner, took a nap, and his daughter went to wake him up and she couldn't. Called 911 & he went to hospital & was saved. This was about 3 years ago.
Length of the video is very good 👍
Short, dense, and informative.
Agree. I prefer 15 or 20 mins to some of the longer ones.
Thank you @nabilh.6357 for letting me know. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
@@drekbergme too! Your videos are wonderful! You use visual and audio so I need to watch, not just listen. I try to do it when I rest/eat/dishes…I appreciate the 15-20 minute ones. Thanks!
Wanted to share my mother's experience in hopes it may help someone else. Along with the incredible fatigue along with a few of the symptoms mentioned; she did not have chest, arm, or shoulder pain but kept complaining that her tongue felt incredibly heavy. I am a nurse & figured it was her heart & started with her chewing aspirin. She ended up with 4 stents, 2 90% occlusions & 2 75%. That was over 20 years ago & has done well since. So keep eye out for those weird signs & symptoms, not everyone fits in the box.
It is a known fact that the majority of women do not get chest nor arm pain. Women after all, R not "Little Men" nor should they be considered the "woe•of•men" which is why I spell woman/women as *womyn*'in the 21st century to make this distinction and girl as gyrl.. to show we have more choices & can be more knowledgeable if we choose to be today.
Some men may be trying to send us back to 1864, but this womyn is proud to stand her ground and not regress. I am very happy to be a dedicated *Life Champion* & to faithfully listen to Dr. Sten Ekberg's sage advice on how to be pro-active about my health & not allowing it to be compromised by anyone. Thank You Dr. Ekberg. Gracías Amigo. 🌿💙
Thank you very much for sharing
Well said, every circumstance and person is different and can present so.
It's worth noting that it appears women are more prone to atypical presentations of heart attacks and their precursors. Never hesitate to get checked out ladies if your body is telling you something is afoot
I had literally none of these symptoms except a strange tightness in my upper chest, I drove myself to the hospital and by the time I got there I knew something was seriously wrong and imminent. Shortly after getting into the emergency room I was asked to sit up to take an X-ray. I blacked out and my heart stopped. I was defibrillated and my heart started beating again, then 5 minutes later it stopped again and was defibrillated a second time. I was taken to the Cath lab and had a stent placed in the central artery in my heart. I had a 100% blockage from some plaque that came loose somewhere in my blood stream. I was released from the hospital less than 48 hours later. Moral of the story? Listen to your body and go to the emergency room if you don’t feel right.
Wow that's quite the story, amazing job navigating that experience. I hope I have the same level of self awareness if the time comes. Glad you still exist and enjoy your life 🎉
How old are you?
God bless you. Do u have high cholesterol?
Wow, that was a smart move! I'm glad you're 👍
Hey man i hope you make/made a full recovery and are able to address the underlying cause. Do you mind sharing info on your age, eating, physical activity etc? That helps others to understand the context.
A month before my grandmother passed away, she was feeling heaviness in the chest and shoulders. I told her three times to get it checked with the doctor during that time. One week before she passed away she was feeling diziness, while she did manage to see a doctor, unfortunately it was not a cardiologist and she was just given medicine for migraine. Four days before she passed away, she was sweating heavily and had discomfort in her stomach, we all just assumed it was constipation. And on her last few hours, she had intense stomach pain that she never felt before and was rushed to the emergency room and after a few minutes she had a heart attack and cardiac arrest. I only wish I took her symptoms more seriously and have seen more educational life saving videos like this since my other grandmother died of heart failure and my uncle died of a heart attack this 2024 as well.
Unfortunately, many medical providers don't know how to treat these symptoms when presented.
@@Red-n5r my grandmother was intubated towards the end, I don't know if they did the right thing. When she was brought to the emergency room, they probably didn't know she was already having a heart attack.
@@makyu9176 Sorry. So you know, often the typical heat attack symptoms experienced by men are often different from those experienced by women.
@@Red-n5r Yes. For my uncle he suddenly had a change with his sense of taste
What I love about ketosis is that energy has increased My stomach it's a game changer getting flat and I used to hate going to the doctor and Now I love it especially getting good Lab results, My sweet tooth is gone most of all I can enjoy my life again after so many years of Bad health and severe pain.
🙌😊👏👏👏👏👏👏🍀🌈🌈
I had some of these, but went keto before I could get to the cardiologist. They have all been alleviated. Yay!
Thank you! I came here to know what to eat to reverse some of these symptoms I have described in this video. Now I know. Will start this immediately.
Wonderful video. My family has a history of heart disease, so this topic has always been of interest to me. My dad died of a sudden heart attack at 49. Several family members have heart disease. Your videos on heart issues are very important to educate people. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
You are welcome @mjequality. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching
A worrying thought I have is that all these symptoms are exactly what I get with anxiety.
All my medical diagnosis attributes my left chest pains to anxiety (which they are).
But when I eventually get an actual heart problem, I'm sacred of thinking "Oh, just probably a panic attack".
That is partly why you have anxiety. You are worrying too much about these things. These health videos on RUclips are dangerous, they scare people into a very anxious state. Everything you could possible eat is bad, every symptom could be cancer or a heart attack. The best thing you can do is stay FAR away from these videos. They seem like the are promoting health, but they are promoting fear. Stress from these worries, is FAR worse than anything you will eat. Stay away from these health expert videos and you can thank me later. Enjoy life.
I am getting a stress test on Tuesday to follow up from my ER visit two weeks ago. I had extremely stress for almost a month and now I truly believe it was panic attacks. I eat paleo or at times healthy keto. But checking to make sure. I also have had mold maybe still some and I know it causes all kind of symptoms like pots! So eating healthy helps most of my symptoms but if I start eating gluten free junk like rice flour and some sugar you better believe I feel like crap
@@micker9830
Best comment here, this Videos are the Real cancer.
I can relate to what your going through. I ended up at the ER a few times thinking I was having a heart attack. It was a severe case of acid reflux. I had all the classic heart attack symptoms but they told me my heart was fine. I asked several doctors and nurses how can a paerson know the difference between heart attacks and acid reflux attacks? They all told me there is no way of knowing. Good to know huh? LOL. I recently asked my primary the same thing, only with anxiety that I am now suffering. I was told that with a heart attack you will feel an intense pressure in your chest like an elephant sitting on you, and you will feel squeezing in your chest. I have been able to get through panic and anxiety attacks easier now, knowing that is all they are. Before I was making them worse by "thinking" I was having a heart attack. Hope this helps 😀
@@micker9830Aufklärung ist lebensrettend! Man kann sich schlau machen und dann abschalten.
I had a heart attack about 6 months ago.(at the age of 42) I checked off everything in this video. Don't do like I did and wait as the symptoms stack up. I had 100% blockage in one artery and doc said I wouldn't have made it if I waited even an hour longer. Thankfully now I feel more physically fit than I have in 20 years.
Honest. We're you vaxxed?
@@raymondciarleglio2394 I was. However, I think the cause of my heart attack was my sedentary lifestyle and the 20+ years of smoking and drinking like a Russian sailor.
To be healthy after 40 years, you need to start taking care of your health from the age of 20. But even now it is not too late. Thank you doctor, you are right.
Merry Christmas Dr Ekberg and Thank you for everything 🙏

😊🍀🌈🍀 Esci di più.
You didn't mention "phantom tooth ache", probably associated with the jaw pain you mentioned, but before my heart attack and subsequent bypass surgery I had two molars removed from my RH upper jaw. The dentist didn't want to take them out because he couldn't see anything wrong with the teeth, but I insisted on both separate occasions that the teeth were aching and had to come out. My Cardiologist called it "referred pain".
I had what I thought was tooth ache in the lower right jaw that came and went too, followed by neck or throat tightening. It always went away after a few hours so I didn't go to the dentist.
Many of these symptoms are the same as a panic attack. For years I have suffered withe many of these symptoms when I awaken from a sound sleep. I've been checked out by a cardiologist and my heart seems fine. These episodes occur every few months starting a few years ago. I'm a 57-year-old otherwise healthy female.
Same i m 30 male, but i only had it twice. I learned a lot about it and i think i can handle it if it will ever happen again. Meditation the right mindset and breathing exercise help a lot to avoid panic attacks.
Maybe you are low in magnesium .. have that checked out .. low magnesium can be cause of panic attacks.
Intersting video. A year ago I had a 5 x bypass and the only symptom I felt out of those ten was the shortness of breath. No pain, no tiredness, no weakness. In fact I had the symptoms in the morning and drove 700km but only after calling into a hospital with the shortness of breath issue that morning, and being told that I was fine by the hospital. I continued on my journey until around 4pm whereupon I called into another medical clinic where the reception was very different and very serious. A Non-drinker, non-smoker and and an avid cyclist. Next minute I'm on an operating table getting sliced open. Still shocks me even now. The surgeon told me that if I wasn't so fit I would be dead. Didn't stop me from nearly dying though.
leider werden die Signale vorher spürt nicht ernst genommen. Es wird auf die Psyche geschoben. Hatte großes Glück das ein Notarzt meine Beschwerden erst genommen hat . Dafür danke ich ❤ es war im Urlaub Mecklenburg Vorpommern.
You have the most comprehensive understand of our holistic mind-body system of anyone!
Everything you described happened to me when i was 38, long story short, i’m now 51 and still kickin!
38 ? Thats very young. Did you have bad habbits ? Like no excercise, unhealthy food etc.
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Doctor Ekberg is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👍
Thank you, most people have the early signs of heart problem, but they think it comes with the age! Signs of getting old!
There are malabsorption issues on my father's side, & I Noticed that if I am low on Potassium, and go to ride the bike, it feels like my heart is palpitating and I feel anxious suddenly.

While I was visiting my friend in the hospital. I noticed a food truck in front of the hospital, the cafeteria and patients food + drink machines Was like a bad dream
I’m shocked at the level of sugar being served in hospitals and blood banks. But if all they’ve been taught for 50 years is meat and fat are bad…? All that’s left is sugar. SAD.
Sounds like you have an exciting life. If you watch enough youtube health videos, you won't even want to drink water. Just eat things in moderation, exercise and enjoy life. Don't be a fatty also lol.
What are you trying to say?
As I understand it, women often go undiagnosed because the symptoms experienced are subtlely different. Inexplicable indigestion- or the sense of indigestion maybe one of those sign.
your videos always are no 1 . thanks a million times dear dr .ekberg. i love you . from Iran . Kurdestan
Dr. Ekberg, please make a video about the vagus nerve system. Thank you.
I had 2 open heart surgery the whole time I knew it was my heart. But my doctors said that my EKg was very good But I had chests pain, left arm and Jaw pain and I was very weak and felt tired.
I remember getting my heart doctor on the phone to see if he could help me out.. without getting sent back home from the hospital. Within 20 to 30
minutes My heart doctor came to get the ER doctor straight I ended up having 3 blocked and a blood clot
In my leg. Within 7 years I had another open heart surgery with the same symptoms
Problem is that all these symptoms wont happen all at once, only one or two at the same time, so many people wont think of an imminent heart attack
My dad thought he had influenza. Even slept on the couch so she wouldn't catch it. That's where she found him. This is important information that people have in advance if they just pay attention.
Chest Pressure "like an elephant" or "like an anvil"... is a very ambiguous description. BUT...
Everyone can relate to the feeling of swallowing food, but having it kind of get stuck, slowly moving down to the stomach...
THAT feeling is the feeling we're talking about. That uncomfortable feeling is VERY similar to the chest pressure of a heart attack.
That is an uncomfortable feeling of pressure/discomfort in your upper chest. It's NOT necessarily painful.
If you feel that, but you are NOT eating, then GO. See your doctor. NOW. Don't wait. Be the 30% that +survive+ their heart attack.
For me, that was a 95% blockage of my Widowmaker.
I just had the fatigue and a bit of weakness before my heart attack. It's good to know these, because often the doctors will tell you the first sign of a heart attack is death.
I had a heart attack about one month ago (my second), and I hope anything here might be of help to people.
At 6:00 am, I sat at my desk at work, as normal, and in the next few minutes, I simply felt "unsettled," not sure how else to describe it. After a few minutes, I realized what was happening and I sought help.
The result was 3 stents in an artery-bypass graft from 10 years ago. (I had 5 bypasses then; I hope this doesn't mean I have 4 more episodes to go.)
During the heart attack, my sense was a severe aching pain. I could breathe normally, except the extreme pain made it difficult. One obvious sign of heart problems (in hindsight) that I was headed for trouble was a bluish tinge to my hands. At my new job, I work with a purple chemical, and even though I wear gloves, I stupidly thought the discoloration was from the chemical, but obviously it was due to heart issues.
What is remarkable, and scary, is that I had the heart attack Monday morning. By Monday at noon, I was essentially out-of-the-woods. I went back to work on Thursday that week, because I need the money. Other than a relatively harmless hematoma at the femoral artery catheter site, I'm a walking miracle.
I have one last concern, which is the 3 stents in my cardiac artery. By their very presence, they will attract cholesterol to soothe the irritation of a foreign body. My cholesterol was at 290 when they measured it; I got it up from 190 many years ago, and now I have to worry about it clogging the stents. My doctor, good a surgeon as he is, want my cholesterol down to 55, which just makes my brain scream. So, feeling my way along, not sure what to do, and taking it all one day at a time.
LDL cholesterol ~50 is not unusual these days with Pcsk9 inhibitors help. The notion low cholesterol numbers will adversely affect other body parts has not been proven. Going forward, given your history, your must always cognizant of adverse cardiac symptoms.
Hi, if you want to lower your cholesterol, you have to cut out meats , dairy and only use a small amount of avocado oil ( if you must ) when cooking. Good luck and God Bless You
Thank Goodness for your knowledge and wisdom. Thanks for sharing. ❤
All the symptoms you describe, I experience pretty much every day. I have Afib, Heart Failure & a TAA - pretty much the whole package.
How did you get all these ailments? And how do you manage them.
Thank you for sharing these important warning signs of a heart attack! This knowledge could truly save lives. Looking forward to more valuable health insights from your channel!
I just went through this and the only sign I had was angina and severe PVCs/ palpitations. If you get PVCs out of no where and they come and go but never fully go away then this is a sign of your heart struggling. I hope this helps someone.
What are PVCs?
@ElizabethAdams-r3v Premature ventricular contraction. An extra half beat. Feels like your heart is an off-balance washing machine. I get them occasionally, confirmed by Holter monitor.
What is pvc
What do they do for this?
I had 3 stents put in to open blockages and within 3 weeks my PVCs were gone.@@missylearned9821
I wish you’d pointed out that the signs often differ between men and women : such as pain more like indigestion that is often experienced by women (without the typical chest and arm pain) and therefore missed or misdiagnosed.
lucky for me. I've never experienced any of these sympthoms so far. Constant tiredness and weakness in general is a warning sign that anything isn't as it's used to.
Thank you Dr.Ekberg for sharing this health issue!

I get most of these symptoms after a binge weekend on the beer! ☺️
I live in the uk and the doctors here are atrocious. They’re terrible. I’ve been to the doctors many times and they don’t do anything. Called an ambulance twice because my heart was beating out of rhythm rapidly on different occasions and the second time the ambulance was called, the ambulance crew just said it’s anxiety lol.
Unbelievable medical negligence
I think an irregular heartbeat is just part of the human condition.. my heart skips beats.. pauses, restarts and will beat regularly for a while.. then rinse and repeat. I only notice when Im tired, or simply just focused on it... anxiety can mimic a boatload of problems that might seem serious at the time though..
@@drewpknutz1410 my condition is not remotely the same as you described. Mine can be for days at a time constantly skipping beats. It’s called palpitations.

Great points. I've always heard that women could experience some DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS than men. Is that true? How would those be observed?
They do. I got an impending feeling of doom and I cried for no reason. I knew something was wrong but i d8dnt know what. I was actually in the middle of a heart attack. But days before I could not breathe well. I was tired and sleepy. I was agitated. I kept taking aspirin. No idea why. Then I turned grey and I went to see doctor which is why I cried in office because I could not explain that feeling of doom.
Thank You @ElizabethVAllen. There are some differences, but not completely different. It is mostly the ranking of each sign that is different. Also women are more likely to experience subtle symptoms like stress anxiety or GI-issues. (Or maybe men are just more stubborn and ignore them.) 😄
@@drekberg Agreed on the stubbornness...lol

Good stuff Doc.!
I recently had a heart attack. I had most of symptoms shown here in the weeks and months prior the the heart attack. But even if I had seen this before the heart attack I would not have been able to see a cardiologist in my area. They book out three months or more. You can only get in sooner if you are referred by an ER doctor.

In my local hospital, they have vending machines with Red Bull 'energy' drinks in them.
I can't think of a more (non alcoholic) unhealthy drink, yet they sell them here.
I'm in the UK.
And the hospital food is rubbish. I was on ward after a heart attack and the food was so poor and unhealthy to eat.
Excellent explanation. I had heard of the symptoms, but I didn’t understand why. I really appreciate your work doctor Eckberg, my whole life I over eat sugar and grain and potato products. I was addicted to these carbohydrates and about five years ago I was diagnosed with pre-diabetesz By that time, there was a lot of good information on the Internet from other good doctors like yourself talking about low carbohydrate nutrition And therapeutic fasting. Using this knowledge I’ve reversed my trend to pre-diabetes and I’ve never felt better but I have history of heart and stroke issues in my family so I need to be even more vigilant about Lifestyle and monitoring , my arteries. Again, I’m so Grateful for your honest and life saving work. God bless you.
Thanks for the great information provided in this video!
When I had a heart attack it started with sweating and feeling sick, I got in recovery position and waited for ambulance luckily I survived but R.i.p to less fortunate.
An Ekberg video only 13 minutes long!
Hello Dr. Ekberg, could you perhaps make a video explaining how to distinguish between an actual heart attack and an anxiety/panic attack?
I've had most of these symptoms until I went on a keto diet combined with intermittent fasting. After about 3 weeks or a month all these symptoms were gone and 2.5 years later they haven't returned.
Does it matter? You can't see a cardiologist for 2 months anyway and none of these will show as anything abnormal in the ER, so they'll send you home and tell you to make an appointment with a cardiologist.
I get your point. However, if you want to live you must get aggressive with your self advocacy.
Dziękuję ślicznie ❤❤❤
For women especially, watch for jaw or tooth pain or upper back pain as heart warning signs. For a couple of years before my heart attack, I had bad upper back pain come and go for no apparent reason. Also regularly had what felt like toothache that came and went, usually with neck or throat tightening. My doctor was dismissive of my symptoms, including the shortness of breath on slight exertion, blaming smoking for everything, even after a chest xray showed clear lungs. Doctors have their own biases and can be useless in identifying heart symptoms that are not typical.
I had all these symptoms 3 weeks ago.
Good information doctor. Thank you.
I've had almost all these signs for over fifteen years now. Never know when to go to the er. Always get told I'm fine. Sliping rib syndrome, cervical stenosis ends up being the culprit.
I had a "ventricular standstill" with no signs or family history of such things, and which very nearly killed me. I'm now stuck with an ICD for the rest of my time.
Dr. Ekberg can you do a video on the blood types and diet for each blood type if you think it’s important of course?! Much appreciated 🙏🏻

I had 1 ablation then it eventually it came back so went keto/ketovore and didn't fix it until I cut out alcohol and caffeine and started using electrolytes and haven't had any A-fib for over 4 months plus I also take Magnesium Cyanate capsules .I have just recently changed diet to Carnivore in the last few weeks so hope you can sort this out without naturally without another ablation
@rosscase88 are the electrolytes effervescent? Or tablets, and do you know what caused your Afib. Any feedback is greatly appreciated
@@paulbirkbeck1790 The electrolytes I use are called LMNT and are in a powder form.I am not 100% sure what fixed afib but I think it is a combination of Carnivore and cutting out alcohol and caffeine also loosing weight and getting fitter plus I also read somewhere that alcohol and caffeine block the absorbion of the electrolytes which are essential for sending electrical signals to the heart.Hope this helps😀
@rosscase88 thankyou that's a big help👍
Morning Sten
Senang terus bisa mengikuti channel bagus ini.
감사합니다 ❤ 영상 잘 봤습니다 ^^
thnx for the informative video.
Had a double bypass, full chest cracking, 4 months ago. I went to ER not realizing I was having a heart attack, I had upper stomach pain, little shortness of breath, especially after I ate, was feeling fatigued for a few months, just thinking this is what 58 feels like.
Sounds like my weekly nightly panic attack, I thought maybe it was a heart attack but after I woke up the next day I knew it was just a panic attack. Who really cares tbh
Try it with meditation, calm music, breathing exercise and work on your mindset with maybe stoicism or something similar. I only had really heavy panic attacks twice in the last years but i know its an very awful experience. But inm thankful i had that experience i learned a lot about it the body and mind to avoid it even if it hard sometimes its all just in the head.
My fight or flight kicks in all the time. I hate it. Very rarely do i feel settled.
Hi Dr Sten.
I’ve had some ongoing health issues that began after preeclampsia, birth trauma, surgery, and COVID-19 in 2020. Despite multiple tests and consultations, I’m still looking for answers.
Here’s what I’m experiencing:
- Light-headedness, head rushes, and brief blackouts while sitting or standing.
- A boat-like swaying sensation and constant disorientation.
- Blood pressure spikes to 180/90 upon standing, then normalizes.
- Vision disturbances, eye strain, and ear symptoms like crackling and tinnitus.
- Heart palpitations with a pulse increase of about 25 bpm that quickly settles.
- Extreme fatigue, weakness, body aches, and derealization.
My doctor is considering Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I’d be incredibly grateful for any advice or insights you might have and managing these symptoms.
Thanks, Chlöe
I was going to say same thing before u said it. I have it too
