I love the videos of Dr. Gupta because there are informational and positive. I appreciate that Dr. Gupta takes the time to explain each topic and doesn’t rush to scare viewers. After watching these videos I feel informed and ready to do my part in a healthy lifestyle along with my health provider. Thank you Dr. Gupta!
This is a very helpful video, I did the stresstest yesterday & they saw nothing, but i was still worried about what if something shows later. Now I realize it is highly unlikely it is something dangerous if it pops up sometimes & not all the time
I've had them for at least two decades. I can't say that I've ever noticed them during exercise. I usually only notice them at rest or sometimes when just walking around the house. Thank you for these videos.....
Thanks for the reassurance. I dealt with irregular heartbeat for a number of years, recently I managed to fight the anxiety/fear and rejoin a gym and get on a weight lifting programme. Everything was going fine, I was experiencing no irregularities at all for months (except the odd benign ectopic at rest), then randomly today I got 3-4 skipped heartbeats in a row half way through a heavy weights set. But screw it, I'm going to carry on with the gym and not let this crap get to me. Thanks.
@@TheBloggme yep! Don't let it get you down if, doing excercise is gonna kill you, then you mightaswell die anyway if I die from doing exercise then fuck it, that just means I will die soon regardless lol
+Yohalmo Carrillo First, get your heart checked out. If the cardiologist tells you everything's fine, just continue exercising. Ectopics have NEVER killed anyone with a structurally normal heart, so no need to be concerned. It's scary, I know. I also have them during cardio and weight lifting. Stopping with exercise is the worst thing you can do
@@alexd4566 I was a bike racer for 17 years with no problems, in 2017 I started getting 2 or 3 extreme chest pains AFTER my intervals or race was over. Can ectopics cause very hard pain in the chest AFTER exercising?
I'm 23 years old and I get ectopics real bad when I'm pushing my limits during exercise. I immediately stop exercising when I get them. They stop / lessen when my heart rate slows down during rest. I almost never get them when I don't exercise. My verdict: don't exercise too hard.
Do you still have them or it's completely gone, Plzzz reply I am 23 Years old and the same issue for month now . This has lead to Me avoiding any outdoor sports?
@@omkartiwari4585 I get them rarely now. I went to the doc a while ago and did a cardiac stress test (ECG) and wore a Holter for a few days. They said I got a healthy heart with an occasional PVC during exercise, but nothing to worry about. I recommend to eat a healthy diet with little sugar and caffeine. Try to avoid caffeine altogether if you're sensitive to it. If you haven't exercised in a while, start at a slow pace for a max 30 minutes a day and gradually increase your exertion. Don't overdo it if your body isn't accustomed to it. Take care.
Same here, it's a bit scary but i realise i was pushing my body too much when i started going to the gym, it's still bad if i push myself too hard so i try and take it easy. Gotta listen to the body guys, there's soo many subtle cues
I'm 23 years old, 1.80 meters tall, and weigh 78 kg. I've been an athlete all my life, but since around 2020, I started to notice several additional heartbeats after finishing my training sessions (during the recovery period). I often associate the first occurrences with my last years of engineering, where I experienced a lot of anxiety. The thing is, since then, despite having overcome the anxiety issues, the supraventricular extrasystoles (PAC's) have persisted. I've been checked by various doctors in different countries, and all of them tell me they are benign or that I don't have enough at rest to warrant an ablation, but this reality doesn't help me at all because what matters to me is to do sports without discomfort or worry. From doing all kinds of physical activity, it's already been 3 years where I've had to limit myself to static weight lifting or very gentle cardio, and this has me extremely frustrated. Every time I push myself a bit further, they occur after the training session. I've never had them during the exercise, it's always when I finish, and living with the constant worry that they will occur is shitty
I can tell, i have the same experience since 2021... exact the same problems.... im not doing hard trainings anymore, just some easy teamsports, i noticed that vitamin C IV helps me get away from the ectopics ✌🏽
I was planning to call my electrophysiologist for this exact issue! I had an ablation in 2015 for pvcs, 30-40k per day. I still get a few here and there, but lately I've had them at exercise which concerns me. I'll still call just to be sure! What a coincidence. Thank you for your videos!
I'd do two things first, drinking plenty of water and taking a close look at your digestive system. Had a ton of skipped beats in the past, but it turned they were due to my digestive system clogged and slowed down. As such it put a lot of unnecessary strain on my heart and it would occasionally skip a beat. I did every test my dr could think of but nothing was flagged. It got so bad that I had thousands of skipped beats per day. I was losing my mind trying to figure it out, then tried changing my diet to improve the digestive process (less carbs, healthier food in general) and viola, those skipped beat were gone, completely. I'd still get them during swimming, but that was because of narrowing of blood vessels in cold water, or when warming up too quickly during workouts, especially in cold weather.
Do you still have them or it's completely gone, Plzzz reply I am 23 Years old and the same issue for month now . This has lead to Me avoiding any outdoor sports?
@@omkartiwari4585 They are gone. But, I can still get a few here and there when overeating (overdoing carbs and sugars), or when warming up to quickly. BTW, the latter is completely normal. So, things that solved this problem for me: Low carb diet (close to keto but allowing yourself to slip here and there, live a little), exercise (short bursts of HIIT, strength, but no crazy sustained cardio. I find that intense cardio is bad for me), 1.5-2 liters of water daily, cold showers (helps to keep your immune system in shape and reduces inflammation and stress. Another note, make sure you are not overdoing vitamin D. I found that taking too much D causes skipped beats for some reason.
Me too, whenni feel bloated then skipped beat happened then a lump sensation in the esophagus then burp... i can still feel it daily like 10 times a day...
Its fine to say that a normal echo or stress test means your not going to have heart issues, however its tough to rationalism that when you get strong beats during or after exercise and they are extremely painful. I started getting these strong beats after exercise on a regular basis, but I didnt immediately associate them with ectopics because they were so painful. But after having these extreme chest pains for 6 months I finally quit exercising completely in spite of the fact that my echo, my stress tests etc all came back as normal. No one can ignore extreme chest pains forever, its your body telling you something is wrong. Sadly, Ive been too scared now to go back to exercise as I cannot face the chest pains, they are too scary and consistent. I do not have check pains when I do not exercise.
aegisgfx He mentions in another video that stress tests more often than not give false positives. Makes you wonder what to believe, or not. Worth considering.
Thanks very very reassuring nearly freaked out and ran to hospital after having one, was so frightening glad I don't need to panic when it happens occasionally
I get heart skips and heart palpitations. Sometimes they come when I'm relaxing, doing daily tasks and they get really bad when I get worked up or exercise hard. Some palps even happen with sudden body changes like beding over or squatting down. Every now and then I get random tightness in chest and very occasionally i get left side angina that come for a few seconds and then gone. Also ever since covid started i have had more headaches than ever the past 2 years. I feel like I'm going to die and when they happen my heart beats really fast and I just wanna drop everything and go home and lay down. Even if they happen at work I get super anxious and just wanna leave work. I check my BP at home excessively and its almost always under 120/80. Every now and then i may have BP that 122/78 or 129/75. I was diagnosed back in my 20s in an ER and they said i had a panic attack. Now here 40 yo i am getting them even more. I do have anxiety and fear of palps happening and me losing control. I take magnesium, coq10, and fish oil daily. Am I being overly anxious with all this? Any advice??? I'm considering at least getting an EKG and anxiety assessment.
Hey, currently dealing with something extremely similar. I don’t know much other than to stay away from any stimulants, get good sleep, and reduce stressors in life. I have been told fish oil actually has a tendency to incite palpitations, and I’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea as a potential contributor, so consider dropping the fish oil and get a sleep study done, otherwise the health system has been extremely unmotivated to help me
I have all the exact same things as you guys. Taking fish oil,coq10 too and my Dr just recently put me on propranolol. Seems to help but still have them missed beats but mostly while I'm sitting still vs being busy. I have my own portable EKG and it says missed beat on the read out and you can actually see the missed beat on the small.screen but my cardiologist says everything is fine.Been like this for almost 2 years now.
My lips went blue from lack of oxygen during one game of rugby. I had 1000s of ectopics that day and i was considering not playing that match. Ectopics ruined my season and have ruined excersice in general for me as well as my social life which is taking its toll mentally... i feel abandoned by my public health system
How are you doing now? Have you been thoroughly checked out by a qualified doctor? That's a LOT of ectopics to experience in a day! Perhaps you should consider having an ablation to stop those irregular beats??
I get these on exercise, at rates as high as 170+ but most commonly when my heart starts to lower to around 140-150. Pretty much every time I exercise, usually one or two but can get clusters of them happening every few beats for a few minutes (usually on long endurance rides). I’ve had a recent stress test (in which no ectopics happened) and got to the last level. Few months before that I had a holter for 3 days, some were captured but only single ones. They have become more common on exercise, I still don’t get them outside of exercise (sometimes very rarely). I’m sure it’s my anxiety but, I just can’t shift the anxiety of why I get these exercising but not at rest!
@@Catgat37 yes. I had my appointment with Dr Gupta and we had a stress echocardiogram..typically no ectopics occurred but that could only be reassuring. Everything was fine, I also discovered my valves leak a small amount of blood which initially felt scary as this was every valve (if I remember correctly) but with this, the ectopics, and other things I consider unusual about my heart but most importantly the reassurance from Dr Gupta and other cardiologists I’ve come to the conclusion that a heart can have many differences to what is considered ‘normal’ and yet still be perfectly healthy. My advice to anyone with ectopics is to get them checked out. But, if you have health anxiety like me I genuinely now believe this is the cause of mine. I still get them on exercise but I have to be honest and say not as much (or at least I don’t notice them as much). Probably because I don’t pay them the attention I first did. It’s terrifying and it can really take you down a dark road of anxiety as mine did! They started because of anxiety, and got much worse with anxiety. Final thing I would say is, at first and for a while after I ruled out anxiety as the cause of mine because they would happen randomly such as when I was feeling fine and so I labelled them as something more sinister… truthfully I now believe (as much as my anxiety still tries to convince me otherwise) is that these are 100% anxiety and nothing else or simply just a benign ectopic (which is very normal for a very large proportion of people). If you get them and haven’t had them checked out, just go see your Dr and take their advice. If you suffer with anxiety, particularly health anxiety please be reassured that they are likely the cause of these and nothing else… but still go get them checked out for your own piece of mind!
@ well I’m still alive haha! I’ve not been exercising as much in the past year due to a child but I actually don’t get them much on exercise anymore. But with that my anxiety hasn’t been as strong towards exercise so this would hopefully explain that.
first 5minutes of cardio when my hearts approaching 130bpm I usually get 1 or 2 powerful ectopic then they go away for the majority of the exercise. Then when I'm walking briskly on a hot day I may notice 1 or 2 during my walk, sometimes I won't have any. Then I will notice them occaisionally at rest. If I have a stressful day, and I've been anxious, I will notice frequent bouts of ectopic. My ectopics are consistent in the fact that whenever my heart is above 130, I will always get 1 really powerful missed beat or two.
I totally freak out when this happens. Last time i did cardio, i started running and i felt like 3 or 4 ectopics in 5 minutes. I feel they were completley exercise induced. Anyone feels the same? My doctor said that i can be completely reassured about it and that nothing bad will happen.
recently i've gotten palpitations that happen all the time, every single beat felt 'wrong' and i had no energy even walking around. 33 years old. Had multiple ekg/ecg? blood pressure, blood tests chest x ray and ct scan... nothing showed up. Which would make you think it's anxiety, except that doesn't explain how I have no energy and can barely walk around the house let alone 'exercise'... Was given beta blockers which calmed down the palipations, leaving just a very feint flutter on each heartbeat (again all the time)... still can barely walk and have gotten brief pains in wrist and hands along with tiny veins appearing there that I've never seen before.
I started going to a gym recently because I am pretty out of shape and I want to reach better health. I notice that when I start the elliptical machine, I will get a few "thumps" at the start and usually nothing more, except sometimes after finishing. I am currently wearing a Holter monitor for palpitations and am interested to see how my heart behaves during exercise as I always get nervous when I get ectopics while working out. Thanks for the information.
I have had an Echocardiogram done and also Cardio Angiogram done and both were fine other than minor CAD and some thickness due to high BP. I still get Ectopic beats which I can manage but I get them after eating a meal and I can get about 5 or 6 in one minute and this lasts for nearly 2 hours and then they start to calm down. I think this has to do with my stomach issues as I get a lot of bloating and belching/burping. A few months ago I had walked from one building to another and it took me less than 10 minutes but I was walking faster, when I got there my heart was going so fast and all I could feel in my chest was like a vibrating feeling, the heart was just doing something on it's own. It took me 10-15 minutes for the heart to go back to it's normal rhythm. I got this same feeling the other day when I bent down to pick up a rubbish bin bag which was heavy to move. I noticed my heart started to play up, it was like it was shaking/jumping so I sat down and the feeling went away. To this day I have no answers what this feeling in the chest is. I had a 72 hour ECG monitor on me and this episode did not happen unfortunately. It looks to me when I put my heart under stress that's when this episode occurs. I have also noticed it happens mostly in the mornings. My work colleague thinks it may have something do with me having a shower every morning coming to work and maybe the heat of the water is affecting my heart etc. I have been put on 5mg Amlodipine taking in the morning and 5mg Ramipril at night which is keeping the BP in check. I hope everyone stays safe, take care.
I had an PVI Ablation with isthmus A-Flutter Line, stopped Amioderone 1 month post and it's been a 'creeper' where I'm able to do less and less, seems anything like light gardening and shopping sets me off, I get consistency and progression. If I try to break though the barriers then I pay for it. For the next 3-4 days after being active I then get ectopics just standing up on my feet then after days of bedrest I can walk around without triggering. At it's worst I get it all, I have a Wellue 24 hr heart monitor, picks up, PVC, PVC Bi and Tri, PAC, PAC Bi and Tri, SVT, A-fib, couplets PAC and PVC . Anything that involves flailing my arms around in activity will set me off. If I need to be busy I get a bad run, sit down for 5 mins, they go away and I restart my activity and comes back and I sit down, over and over again until I finish what I need to do and then I pay the price for the next couple of days. I'm coming up to 4 1/2 months post ablation and my heart scars from the ablation may still be forming
I have these ectopics everyday and have done for the past 3 years, it feels like they’re getting worse as I get older and I feel so down in the dumps. Please if anyone is out there who has them as much as I do I would love to chat with you.
@@Ryan-np6zv I haven’t really exercised in a while, If I was playing football then I may get them because of the movement however if I was doing light exercise I would be ok.
I have random palpitations....they are never predictable....i have seen a cardiologist and have had numerous test....passed all....put still have random palpitations...happens when doing nothing or during exercise...gets really bad during racing dirt bikes....was pit in metoprolol 6.25mg...still have them...
I get pvcs all the time. Sometimes there really bad, and then I can go day's without one...weird! Cardiologist did every test and said I'm good. He said I have a strong heart and that's why I feel them more. Makes sense because I'm a high level athlete. Also told me to stop taking creatine. But never stop exercising. But even after he gave me a green light, they still are a little unnerving.
man flu! ha! we don't use that expression much here in the states. thanks for the reassuring video and your knowledge! btw, you have very nice teeth. (I'm a dental hygienist and notice everyone's teeth!)
In my case was just the opposite. When I had ectopic heard beats and exercises, it got me into ventricular tachycardia. I was wearing a monitor that week and it caught it. I felt so sick, thought my heart was going to explode. My doctor got worried and called me in. Lucky I never had it again.
@@sovereignsoulutions6612 mine too I have it on the long run maybe like 25min non stop but on the next day sometimes I don't have it really confused right now
I would like to start off by saying that you are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate these videos so much! If you wouldn't mind trying to answer this...I have POTS and sometimes I get bad episodes that last about 30 minutes, where I'm getting hundreds of multifocal pvcs. I've gotten at least a dozen in a row. I've noticed it's when I'm usually waitressing, so somewhat stressful and moving around. Do you think this could be my adrenals? I do get dizzy and have to lay down for the rest of the day. I've gotten an ecg, ekg, and heart monitors. My doctor doesn't have much to say about it..Thanks! :)
Oh gosh i feel safe after reading your comment, i’ve been getting 3-4 in a row , and every hr or so , then i read your comment and i’m like aahh i just have a few so i’m fine hehe. How are you btw? It’s been 4 yrs. anything to share? :) Thanks I hope to hear from you .
Hey guys I‘m an 18yo healthy girl, I‘ve had ectopics for a year now tho echo, ekg and stress test are clear. I had 2 ectopics on exercise once but didn’t care but a few days ago I was riding the bike for about 1 hour and when I was lowering the exercise I started to get a lot of them, like a lot. I stopped for a while and then stopped too and when I went back I didn‘t get any for more 15 minutes and when I was getting home I got 1-2 again. I‘m really scared now. I had completely stopped exercising since I began to feel ectopics. Exercise makes me really anxious but I‘m trying to get back to it. Has anyone experienced the same thing I did?
I’m nervous. Seems like mine tick up everytime I do any exercise. Waiting on my zio patch results and then hoping the cardiologist I see follows up with more tests. He seems to kinda be brushing me off over my age (34). Sincerely hope he doesn’t try to push me off. Waiting on confirmation or condition sucks so bad. Mind running wild.
I have the same issue. I am 33 and they think I am so healthy. The more active I am, the more ectopics I get. So hard for them to take me seriously. This just started happening 5 weeks ago for me.
We’ll I tell ya what I’m in a whole other world now. I’ve had my tests and have calmed down allot. I’m not longer stressed about them. Good echo and stress echo. Then it was just getting over the mental aspect of it all. You’re probably the exact same. If seems exceedingly rare these things are actually a sign of something bad.
@@Jeffhomulton thank you. Especially at our age and if our hearts are healthy, it seems like they aren’t too serious. It was just so random that they came on out of no where about a month ago.
Hello Doctor. I hope you’re able to respond to me. I did a stress test and I did fine, but the Cardiologist said I had pvcs during exercise. I want to get back in the gym, but I’m worried. I’ve always been healthy and fit, but for some reason he said I had a lot of them. He told me not to worry, but easier said than done.
All of my palpitations happen on the cool down after doing some sort of activity. It sucks. I'm going to go to a cardiolgist just to ease my mind on what's going on.
Im a 36 year old ultra marathon runner. I have been getting pvcs (sometimes 3 joined together) on excerice for 4 months now. They start at around 115bpm and will get around 50 per 5 mins and they can be very painful. The more a train the worse it gets and they enter into my normal daily life. When they are bad i get nerve type buzz/tingling deep in my throat/chest. When i rest for a few weeks it goes away. Im then to told by cardyoligists each time that i can "get on with my life" and even written me out a training plan. I then start training again and withing a few days it gets really bad again and i cant even work because my heart keeps vibrating everytime i move. Ive had every cardiac test possible up to a Cardiac stress MRI which is very unpleasant. All has been ruled out as a cardiac issue. I am now going down the path of Esophagus and Neurological. In my own experience I feel I've been given poor advice by 3 cardiologists and a radiologist as there advice has spurred my on to exacerbate my symptoms and make me worse off than before.. In some cases I would be weary of taking cardiologists advice if they havent figured out the underlying cause. They are trained in one specific area and dont cross over into other parts of the anatomy. I have finally come across an amazing GP who seems very interested in helping me get to the bottom of it. We have agreed that in the short to possibly long term I have to quit running as we believe it could be caused by exhausting nerves or nerve compression through injury which if constantly irrated could end up being much worse. I would be interested in getting in touch or talking to anyone else that is going through something similar or who has had any success...
Hi, I am a weight lifter and have the same issue for 6-7 months now :( I had 2 cardiologist visits, and they all told me that “it is normal, nothing to worry about”.. The ultrasound, ekg, 24 hour device all came back negative. Did you find out the cause?
@dreadwolfy7568 After a long year. Mine have come down to severe stress from a marriage break up mixed with a hiatus hernia. I was holding so much tension in my diaphragm and abdomen constantly that it was pushing up through my esophagus. All my muscles in my esophagus stopped working too and I couldn't eat for days at a time. The nerves for the esophagus are linked with the heart also so they can get confused. I was also unable to regulate hot or cold weather and would shiver and my heart would vibrate. It was basically a nervous break down. I was prescribed setraline for a month and left my wife and its nearly all cleared up. I still have a few mild symptoms and can't run yet but it's definitely healed a lot. I only get about 2 flip flops or rumbles from heart a week now down from about 500 a week...
i have ectopic extra heart beat every day i go to gym and i workout hard and heavy but i dont notice any extra heart beat during workout i think if ectopic extra heart beat was dangoures i wasnt alive now so people dont worry about extra heart beat they are normal
Hi, I recently had a stress test. My heart went into bigeminy throughout the whole test and recovery period. Echo and mri normal. 48 hour ecg showed couplets, triplets and four broad complex beats in a row. I feel breathless, faint and have chest pain. I am now seeing a electrophysiologist in London. He is repeating the stress test now I am on beta blockers to see how my heart is coping. I am unable to work as I am a Nannie for 2 year old twins. I cant risk passing out. Any advice would be great.
I found this after being worried by some eptopic beats. I’ve just started going for longer walks. I push a buggy at a good pace without stopping for about 10,000 steps sometimes more (I’ve just started doing this every day) Two days in a row once I was back to the house I felt palpitations apon stopping I guess quite suddenly. It is the time in my cycle where my hormones are going mad and it’s been hot outside. I had an ecg in October which was fine. I felt two eptopic beats yesterday when doing a shorter walk but was quite relaxed in the evening and it then frightened me.. should I be worried by these?! I’m trying to get fit but this is worrying me into doing less . ( I walk at some people’s slow jogging pace)
I'm 45 year old male and I tried to exercise today by walking fast down 9 flights of stairs and back up 9 flights of stairs and as soon as finished I could hear by heartbeat in ears, my heart was beating fast and then it all stopped after couple minutes and everything returned to normal. But, then, after about 5 minutes I was sitting down and I noticed the slightest headache. Does this all sound normal or something that needs to be checked out? Thank you!
weird, today i went for a 2-3km walk and did it pretty fast, didn't notice any ectopics until after i walked up a huge inclined path in the bush, first sensations struck me right up the neck really heavy, it was a 15 min walk home since then and felt at least 8-10 heavy ectopics on the way back, i can run and run and barely feel them most days, i actually felt quite dizzy during a pause, but don't know if that was due to me being anxious over it. they stopped as soon as i got home.
hey Dr. sanjay missed you, thank you for another informative video . but..... can heart palpitations accrue during and while excersising? and are there any excersises they should and should not do. ps. I hope you feel better very soon!☺ lots of luck!!!
Putting pressure by lifting heavyweights, increasing heart rate and pretty sure you'll be holding your breath for brief moments and tending your core, will likely give you ectopics every now and then anyway reduce The weight you don't need to lift extremely heavy to achieve a good body or strength, strength to me is p4p (pound for pound) so a guy who can do 20 pull ups who is 140lb is stronger for his weight than a guy who's 200lb that can only so 8 pull ups but can bench maybe 200kg that 140lb guy is still stronger for his weight, and in life and every day situations core strength is much more vital than static strength

Dear Dr. I get ectopics usually post 12 pm. It lasts whole day. Holter showed 360 isolated PACs. ECHO, ABPM, ECG was normal. The strange thing is that in sleep the ectopics were 0 and it started around 12 PM. Noone is able to explain why, can you help?
I get them after walking while stoping . specially when i Focus on my heart beat i get one . Recently before i started getting more palps i got Treadmill test done . Iam 25 active , It showed SOB+ , high blood pressure ( this beacuse i get panic while measuring it ) but what was SOB+ ?
great and informative video. I tend to get one thud in my chest about a minute after a stop running, not everytime but is this something to be concerned about?

Hi Dr Sanjay, I have been having ectopics for 8 or so years now, mostly at rest. They tend to go away during exercise, but lately, as soon as the exercise ends I'll get a few very consistantly. Since they don't seem to occur during peak activity, is this something to be worried about?
This sounds the same as what Im getting, I'll do an hour or so of intervals and feel fine during it, but when I stop I suddenly will get 2 or 3 pains in my chest that feel like a fist is trying to push its way up my throat. Is it the same for you?
@@aegisgfx You get them because you're changing your levels of energy, you're exercising, while you have anxiety, and then you stop exercising, but your anxiety is still there, panicking yourself, which will be strange for your heart plus you're thinking about those ectopics. your breathing probably changes too, which heart works in relation to the lungs, vice versa, it's nothing to be worried about, you afraid of getting a heart attack? Well ectopics don't really relate to a heart attack and if they did, they would be stronger dur-in exercise when your heart is working it's hardest not after, non of which you described relate to any heart problem, which highlights my first point, anxiety and stress.
@@yungthug2403 in the last 2 years since Ive been getting these pains after a race or intervals, Id also get an accelerated HR after intervals, sometimes for 8 to 10 minutes after my HR would go up to 180 (max for me) even though I was not riding hard, or in some cases I was walking or standing still. Can than be connected to the PVCs or maybe vagus nerve issues?
I have had ectopics now for over a year and at first the episodes were few and far inbetween but now they are incredibly frequent like at least 3 a day at first they were just at rest but now they are happening Everytime I exercise. I've had a lot of cardiac testing done and they all came back normal of course I didn't have an episode during these tests but it ruining my life. I don't even want to exercise anymore. I wanted to start taking magnesium I'm wondering what brand would be best for ectopics??
Hi, similar here, started with big intervals, now several a day and everytime I exercise. Had some tests done and all came back normal. Doctor proposed me beta blockers, but don't feel to comfortable with this. How are you doing? Any progress...
Nick Code do you get them while excercising/lifting weights and after excercise... I’ve had them for a few weeks now i counter how many I had during the gym as I can feel them happen in my chest. I had 200 in 40 minutes. How ridiculous.
I've had one or two palpitations while exercising but it doesn't happen all the time. They usually happen more at rest than when I'm working out but it has happened before...its scary as hell but as long as I don't pass out I figure I'm good....I have anxiety so that's probably part of it.
If you die from exercise then you ain't gonna live very long anyway so ignore it and don't let it ruin your goals a life without goals isn't a life anyway
Doc quick question please. So I got up this morning underslept, loads of anxiety. I'm dealing and curing my anxiety disorder successfully but still get anxious at night sometimes and ectopics and that prevents me from sleeping, like hypnic jerks or a rush of adrenaline througout my body as I'm falling asleep and that feaks me out , wakes me upand my heart palpitates. I't s getting better as I'm practicing mindfulness and earthing. Anyways this morning while underslept and over anxious I started to do an intense calisthenics workout, like still not fully awake and I got 3 big skipped beats followed by a big beat and then regular rhythm. Then After 20 minutes, I watched your video about progression/consistency and I said, let me test to see if I would get the same ectopics with the same exercise. So I repeated the same exercise and I didn't get any ectopics at all. Also, I'm full of energy and not tired at all. Not breathless, no pain in my chest. Feel fine. So I guess based on your description this is most likely a situational ectopic caused by stress, lack of sleep, exercise rather than a heart related thing right? Thanks Omar
@@Naveen-mr1qz I haven't had ectopics for 2 weeks which is amazing but also not surprising. I just live my life, dn't worry about my heart. Workout, eat whole foods, meditate and do what I love. It's not rocket science.
@ still here haha. Been going to The gym very frequently. Still have PVCs everyday. Including having them at the gym. Must be my new life now. Some days I have them with exercise, some days I don’t. It’s weird. Who knows. Gonna keep living my life and give the glory to the man upstairs.
Ok I have experienced skipped beats for a while now, I can definitely fell I get a few every few days. But I was bench pressing and as soon as I sat up on the bench, I had a skipped beat, then I kinda panicked and stood up and had two more, almost back to back. Is this something to worry about? I don’t have them much when exercising, but I’ve had them before. Also if I can feel them, does that mean I can feel everyone that happens, or no. Hopefully I can because that will mean I’m not having 100s a day
Doc need your help pls can you quickly look into this. So I've been under extreme stress, recovering from health anxiety and panic disorder. Doing a lot better with meditation, being more mindful, better sleeping habits, better hydration, a solid whole foods diet, etc. However uptil that point I think I got GERD but I'm treating it and basically coming into my normal self again. So the last 3 days I've had some very painful ectopics.. They always happen in the same position. I was out with my friends talking for hours after a long days of work and underslept or with interrupted sleep. I had drank carbonated Perrier, ate Dark chocolate and chewed sugar free gum with apsartame gum throughout the day( i recently learned that these are food triggers for ectopics). Anyways On Friday I was so stressed, anxious and panicky that I got a big ectopic(no pain), then after I was so tired, my chest felt tight and then I was sitting in my friends car and I had another ectopic but it was painful or it could have been a muscle spasm or esophageal spasm or something due to acid reflux from anxiety. I had the same painful ectopic yesterday sitting in my friends car. I was anxious and had a bad stomach pain from anxiety. I also notice that a few times last week, when I'm bent f forward with intensity, looking at something on the computer or in my head I get an extra beat that hurts . When I breath I'm fine. Also today I was exhausted, and had some indigestion from anxiety and was walking briskly to the market and I felt a painful, thud, ectopic and it was painful and uneasy. Funny enough after that I felt so relieved and light almost if this and the others were just gas. I feel better after I burp. Almonst like it was gas or a bubble and then it just popped and the air came out and I'm fine. Anyways I've been dealing with I think GERD or acid reflex from stress/anxiety and I know that as I feel I tight knot in my epigastric area and can point to the spot and it feels tight and tender. When I'm calm, no pressure or pain. Anyways wanted to know what foods to avoid for ectopics or what foods are good( I hear almonds, bananas are great). Also, are these ectopics or just gas related spasms in the chest or vagal nerve spasms or upper gastric spasms. MY BP is normal at 110/82, my parents are 70s, no heart disease, perfect health, so good genes. I can workout like a savage and don't get tired at all, no fainting, no afib, just been stressed, anxious and with stomach acid, gut, acid irritation from anxiety. Doing whatever I can to calm down and it is working bn it. Thanks.
Sounds like most of your episodes are triggered by your stomach and stress. And it's probably over-stimulating the vagus nerve. I have actual Afib and I'm positive it is triggered by the vagus nerve connection. Everything points to it. Since changing my diet and adding magnesium I haven't experienced Afib in almost a year now.
HI Dr. I just came across this Video, I just had a stress echo they kept me on my Metoprolol and Enalapril during the test but I got my heart rate up to 90 percent. I get my Ectoptics mostly on the recovery from a set from strength training in between sets after the first several sets. They fire 10 a minute most every day. On the treadmill they don't fire as often except on the recovery phase. what is your opinion on that type of pattern. Thanks
@@PrashantKumar-nw1hm Why would they come on all of a sudden a month ago when I have never had them except once and a while? I am 49 wouldn't they have shown before now. Would you ask the doc anymore questions or for any more tests?
My eptopics where caused by my blood pressure meds I was on 47.5mg metoprolol I lost 33kgs loving life until I developed the eptopics witch happened overnight I was getting like 20 to 30 a minute I freaked out. I've now dropped the meds as in weaning off them but still get the eptopics..
@@fishermayne1017 Hi,, thanks for responding, what made you think it was the blood pressure meds? I think that too, I am on 50mg Metoprolol. I don't have weight to lose but ever since the pandemic started I don't drink beer on the weekends anymore and I always ate good but I have been on this crazy healthy diet as well as cut way back on caffeine. My blood pressure is lower. Are they any better since you cut down the meds?
Do you still have them or it's completely gone, Plzzz reply I am 23 Years old and the same issue for month now . This has lead to Me avoiding any outdoor sports?
After exercise my blood pressure goes way down and my heart skips beats. So now I take mydodrine once a day to raise the BP. I'll also take in extra fluids with sodium and then finally my BP gets normal and heartbeats are normal. Does that mean exercise is too much now for my heart????????????
Hi can u please tell me is it dangerous if i get ectopics every time i finish set lets say i lift 10 reps of weight and when i sit down after that i feel few ectopics. i have echo holter and stress test done lately all was good
Doc sanjay, i experience irregular beat during lifting heavy weight, but not consistently, and whenever i do running, i dont experience any irregularities. But its giving me anxiety since my cousin died of cardiac arrest while playing sport. Should i be worried?
You need to see a cardiologist for a full work up with your heart...doesnt mean anything is wrong, but the fact your cousin who was young had a cardiac arrest does increase your risk. Don't stress see a cardiologist to give you the all clear
I have anxiety and panic attacks I get palpitations anyways at rest sometimes, during exercise I sometimes get one or two during yoga after cardio typically when child's pose or going into child's pose stuff like that. Should I be concerned? Thank you.
York Cardiology Thank you for the response 💕 What makes them happen like that during those times? Is it my own mindset just thinking too hard about having one? Because they terrify me.
Hi can I get some advice. Panicking now. I'm a former svt ablation patient over 8 years ago. Went on holiday got panic attacks and came home early. Anyway now when I'm exercising as soon as I stop I feel eptopic beats and they carry on for a while after. I went to hospital at the weekend with it and my ecg showed normal and also bloods. Google is scaring me right now. What should I do?
@@TheCharlielennon my ectopics have all but gone. If you ever get them just try to exercise and put them to the back of your mind if your ecg and echo are normal as it's likely anxiety or medication related
@@donttalkwet1 Good to hear mate, mine have come and gone for a few years, sometimes bother me sometimes don't. All my tests are normal. I train every day, notice them in the gym for periods of time and then don't. For sure related to anxiety which also comes and goes. For me just knowing that the feelings pass is good. Staying off the internet helps too. So as much as it's nice to meet you i'm outta here! Go and enjoy your lives!
I am having this issue as well. It just started after covid infection. I never get them on cardio, but lifting weight brings them and they also make me cough. Did you get better? Did you figure them out? Are they related to stress?
Dr. u look so tired but still cared to sit up and explain such an important medical issue, thank u and God bless
You are an absolute saint .... I want to say thank you 🙏 to your parents for raising such a giving and wonderful son !
I love the videos of Dr. Gupta because there are informational and positive. I appreciate that Dr. Gupta takes the time to explain each topic and doesn’t rush to scare viewers. After watching these videos I feel informed and ready to do my part in a healthy lifestyle along with my health provider. Thank you Dr. Gupta!
Excellent advice from Dr Sanjay, speaking as a long, long time ectopic sufferer and also had irregular heart rate episodes.
Give this Doctor a medal!!!
This is a very helpful video, I did the stresstest yesterday & they saw nothing, but i was still worried about what if something shows later. Now I realize it is highly unlikely it is something dangerous if it pops up sometimes & not all the time
I've had them for at least two decades. I can't say that I've ever noticed them during exercise. I usually only notice them at rest or sometimes when just walking around the house. Thank you for these videos.....
How r u now
I get ectopic after exercise not during exercise. Especially when I lie down on bed after vigorous exercise.
same
Same😑
Same! Can get into a very hard effort with beats up to 195, no problems. Then the ectopics start when I get it back to about 140.
Same
How are you guys managing it?
Your a great Dr and we all really appreciate your time and effort thank you!
Thank you so much Sanjay! I learn so much from you that my cardiologist and various ER dr's from the past ask e where I went to med school lol
Thanks for the reassurance. I dealt with irregular heartbeat for a number of years, recently I managed to fight the anxiety/fear and rejoin a gym and get on a weight lifting programme. Everything was going fine, I was experiencing no irregularities at all for months (except the odd benign ectopic at rest), then randomly today I got 3-4 skipped heartbeats in a row half way through a heavy weights set. But screw it, I'm going to carry on with the gym and not let this crap get to me. Thanks.
yeah i suffer a mild ectopic at least once or twice every time i lift, it wont stop me and you shouldn't worry, have a good one =D
@@TheBloggme yep! Don't let it get you down if, doing excercise is gonna kill you, then you mightaswell die anyway if I die from doing exercise then fuck it, that just means I will die soon regardless lol
hemansx i get it too when i lift weights what can i do to stop this i get some massive ones that scare me to dead what can i do
+Yohalmo Carrillo First, get your heart checked out. If the cardiologist tells you everything's fine, just continue exercising. Ectopics have NEVER killed anyone with a structurally normal heart, so no need to be concerned. It's scary, I know. I also have them during cardio and weight lifting. Stopping with exercise is the worst thing you can do
@@alexd4566 I was a bike racer for 17 years with no problems, in 2017 I started getting 2 or 3 extreme chest pains AFTER my intervals or race was over. Can ectopics cause very hard pain in the chest AFTER exercising?
I am so grateful for you and your RUclips channel. Many many blessings to you sir.
I'm 23 years old and I get ectopics real bad when I'm pushing my limits during exercise. I immediately stop exercising when I get them. They stop / lessen when my heart rate slows down during rest. I almost never get them when I don't exercise. My verdict: don't exercise too hard.
@Farah Davies maybe it’s because your hearts not used to it
@Farah Davies Sounds like you have the kind he says that's nothing to worry about!😉 Keep exercising and enjoying life!😎
Do you still have them or it's completely gone,
Plzzz reply I am 23 Years old and the same issue for month now . This has lead to Me avoiding any outdoor sports?
@@omkartiwari4585 I get them rarely now. I went to the doc a while ago and did a cardiac stress test (ECG) and wore a Holter for a few days. They said I got a healthy heart with an occasional PVC during exercise, but nothing to worry about. I recommend to eat a healthy diet with little sugar and caffeine. Try to avoid caffeine altogether if you're sensitive to it. If you haven't exercised in a while, start at a slow pace for a max 30 minutes a day and gradually increase your exertion. Don't overdo it if your body isn't accustomed to it. Take care.
Same here, it's a bit scary but i realise i was pushing my body too much when i started going to the gym, it's still bad if i push myself too hard so i try and take it easy.
Gotta listen to the body guys, there's soo many subtle cues
I'm 23 years old, 1.80 meters tall, and weigh 78 kg. I've been an athlete all my life, but since around 2020, I started to notice several additional heartbeats after finishing my training sessions (during the recovery period). I often associate the first occurrences with my last years of engineering, where I experienced a lot of anxiety. The thing is, since then, despite having overcome the anxiety issues, the supraventricular extrasystoles (PAC's) have persisted. I've been checked by various doctors in different countries, and all of them tell me they are benign or that I don't have enough at rest to warrant an ablation, but this reality doesn't help me at all because what matters to me is to do sports without discomfort or worry. From doing all kinds of physical activity, it's already been 3 years where I've had to limit myself to static weight lifting or very gentle cardio, and this has me extremely frustrated. Every time I push myself a bit further, they occur after the training session. I've never had them during the exercise, it's always when I finish, and living with the constant worry that they will occur is shitty
Exactly
I can tell, i have the same experience since 2021... exact the same problems.... im not doing hard trainings anymore, just some easy teamsports, i noticed that vitamin C IV helps me get away from the ectopics ✌🏽
Same most of the time I get when I'm resting just after any exercise or heavy physical work
Have you tried magnesium? Please look into it.
I was planning to call my electrophysiologist for this exact issue! I had an ablation in 2015 for pvcs, 30-40k per day. I still get a few here and there, but lately I've had them at exercise which concerns me. I'll still call just to be sure! What a coincidence. Thank you for your videos!
Are you still having them?
@@DanWActual no, I've been doing ok for a few years now :) no meds or anything
@@Amanda-hn6ly thank you for the reply! That is amazing to hear 🙂
@@Amanda-hn6ly Good to hear. Did you have to stop exercising?
Did you stop the exercise?
I'd do two things first, drinking plenty of water and taking a close look at your digestive system. Had a ton of skipped beats in the past, but it turned they were due to my digestive system clogged and slowed down. As such it put a lot of unnecessary strain on my heart and it would occasionally skip a beat. I did every test my dr could think of but nothing was flagged. It got so bad that I had thousands of skipped beats per day. I was losing my mind trying to figure it out, then tried changing my diet to improve the digestive process (less carbs, healthier food in general) and viola, those skipped beat were gone, completely. I'd still get them during swimming, but that was because of narrowing of blood vessels in cold water, or when warming up too quickly during workouts, especially in cold weather.
Do you still have them or it's completely gone,
Plzzz reply I am 23 Years old and the same issue for month now . This has lead to Me avoiding any outdoor sports?
@@omkartiwari4585 They are gone. But, I can still get a few here and there when overeating (overdoing carbs and sugars), or when warming up to quickly. BTW, the latter is completely normal.
So, things that solved this problem for me:
Low carb diet (close to keto but allowing yourself to slip here and there, live a little), exercise (short bursts of HIIT, strength, but no crazy sustained cardio. I find that intense cardio is bad for me), 1.5-2 liters of water daily, cold showers (helps to keep your immune system in shape and reduces inflammation and stress.
Another note, make sure you are not overdoing vitamin D. I found that taking too much D causes skipped beats for some reason.
@@moxusgaming6404 ok THANKS for the reply
Me too, whenni feel bloated then skipped beat happened then a lump sensation in the esophagus then burp... i can still feel it daily like 10 times a day...
Vitamin C IV helps me getting away from them, but also better my gut health helped me, i can approve
Its fine to say that a normal echo or stress test means your not going to have heart issues, however its tough to rationalism that when you get strong beats during or after exercise and they are extremely painful. I started getting these strong beats after exercise on a regular basis, but I didnt immediately associate them with ectopics because they were so painful. But after having these extreme chest pains for 6 months I finally quit exercising completely in spite of the fact that my echo, my stress tests etc all came back as normal.
No one can ignore extreme chest pains forever, its your body telling you something is wrong. Sadly, Ive been too scared now to go back to exercise as I cannot face the chest pains, they are too scary and consistent. I do not have check pains when I do not exercise.
aegisgfx you have the same exact story as me..
aegisgfx
He mentions in another video that stress tests more often than not give false positives. Makes you wonder what to believe, or not. Worth considering.
What kind of symptoms/pain were you getting during exercising? 🙏
Thanks very very reassuring nearly freaked out and ran to hospital after having one, was so frightening glad I don't need to panic when it happens occasionally
I get heart skips and heart palpitations. Sometimes they come when I'm relaxing, doing daily tasks and they get really bad when I get worked up or exercise hard. Some palps even happen with sudden body changes like beding over or squatting down. Every now and then I get random tightness in chest and very occasionally i get left side angina that come for a few seconds and then gone. Also ever since covid started i have had more headaches than ever the past 2 years. I feel like I'm going to die and when they happen my heart beats really fast and I just wanna drop everything and go home and lay down. Even if they happen at work I get super anxious and just wanna leave work. I check my BP at home excessively and its almost always under 120/80. Every now and then i may have BP that 122/78 or 129/75. I was diagnosed back in my 20s in an ER and they said i had a panic attack. Now here 40 yo i am getting them even more. I do have anxiety and fear of palps happening and me losing control. I take magnesium, coq10, and fish oil daily. Am I being overly anxious with all this? Any advice??? I'm considering at least getting an EKG and anxiety assessment.
Hey, currently dealing with something extremely similar. I don’t know much other than to stay away from any stimulants, get good sleep, and reduce stressors in life. I have been told fish oil actually has a tendency to incite palpitations, and I’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea as a potential contributor, so consider dropping the fish oil and get a sleep study done, otherwise the health system has been extremely unmotivated to help me
I have all the exact same things as you guys. Taking fish oil,coq10 too and my Dr just recently put me on propranolol. Seems to help but still have them missed beats but mostly while I'm sitting still vs being busy. I have my own portable EKG and it says missed beat on the read out and you can actually see the missed beat on the small.screen but my cardiologist says everything is fine.Been like this for almost 2 years now.
@@karlbach1451was it sleep apnea as i have similar issue here and just got told to get sleep cpap machine ..?
My lips went blue from lack of oxygen during one game of rugby. I had 1000s of ectopics that day and i was considering not playing that match. Ectopics ruined my season and have ruined excersice in general for me as well as my social life which is taking its toll mentally... i feel abandoned by my public health system
How are you doing now? Have you been thoroughly checked out by a qualified doctor? That's a LOT of ectopics to experience in a day! Perhaps you should consider having an ablation to stop those irregular beats??
How are you?
Reassuring and informative video, as all medicine should be. Thank you Dr.
Thank you Dr. Gupta. You have our best interests at HEART ❤️ 💙 💜.
I get these on exercise, at rates as high as 170+ but most commonly when my heart starts to lower to around 140-150. Pretty much every time I exercise, usually one or two but can get clusters of them happening every few beats for a few minutes (usually on long endurance rides). I’ve had a recent stress test (in which no ectopics happened) and got to the last level. Few months before that I had a holter for 3 days, some were captured but only single ones. They have become more common on exercise, I still don’t get them outside of exercise (sometimes very rarely). I’m sure it’s my anxiety but, I just can’t shift the anxiety of why I get these exercising but not at rest!
Did you get any answers about this from your dr?
Any news?
@@Catgat37 yes. I had my appointment with Dr Gupta and we had a stress echocardiogram..typically no ectopics occurred but that could only be reassuring. Everything was fine, I also discovered my valves leak a small amount of blood which initially felt scary as this was every valve (if I remember correctly) but with this, the ectopics, and other things I consider unusual about my heart but most importantly the reassurance from Dr Gupta and other cardiologists I’ve come to the conclusion that a heart can have many differences to what is considered ‘normal’ and yet still be perfectly healthy.
My advice to anyone with ectopics is to get them checked out. But, if you have health anxiety like me I genuinely now believe this is the cause of mine. I still get them on exercise but I have to be honest and say not as much (or at least I don’t notice them as much). Probably because I don’t pay them the attention I first did.
It’s terrifying and it can really take you down a dark road of anxiety as mine did! They started because of anxiety, and got much worse with anxiety.
Final thing I would say is, at first and for a while after I ruled out anxiety as the cause of mine because they would happen randomly such as when I was feeling fine and so I labelled them as something more sinister… truthfully I now believe (as much as my anxiety still tries to convince me otherwise) is that these are 100% anxiety and nothing else or simply just a benign ectopic (which is very normal for a very large proportion of people).
If you get them and haven’t had them checked out, just go see your Dr and take their advice. If you suffer with anxiety, particularly health anxiety please be reassured that they are likely the cause of these and nothing else… but still go get them checked out for your own piece of mind!
How are now? Any update?
@ well I’m still alive haha! I’ve not been exercising as much in the past year due to a child but I actually don’t get them much on exercise anymore. But with that my anxiety hasn’t been as strong towards exercise so this would hopefully explain that.
Mine definitely come on AFTER exercise or exertion. Sometimes even just at rest.
first 5minutes of cardio when my hearts approaching 130bpm I usually get 1 or 2 powerful ectopic then they go away for the majority of the exercise.
Then when I'm walking briskly on a hot day I may notice 1 or 2 during my walk, sometimes I won't have any.
Then I will notice them occaisionally at rest.
If I have a stressful day, and I've been anxious, I will notice frequent bouts of ectopic. My ectopics are consistent in the fact that whenever my heart is above 130, I will always get 1 really powerful missed beat or two.
Same bro same when i play basketball for like 3-5 mins i get 1 but none for the majority of the game
Same bro same when i play basketball for like 3-5 mins i get 1 but none for the majority of the game

My gosh .. so simply explained in such detail thank you v much 👍
I totally freak out when this happens. Last time i did cardio, i started running and i felt like 3 or 4 ectopics in 5 minutes. I feel they were completley exercise induced. Anyone feels the same? My doctor said that i can be completely reassured about it and that nothing bad will happen.
This happened to me right now.. I had to stop exercising it’s so scary
Yeah me too especially when I bend down, I get 2-3

@@raqui174how are you now?
recently i've gotten palpitations that happen all the time, every single beat felt 'wrong' and i had no energy even walking around. 33 years old. Had multiple ekg/ecg? blood pressure, blood tests chest x ray and ct scan... nothing showed up.
Which would make you think it's anxiety, except that doesn't explain how I have no energy and can barely walk around the house let alone 'exercise'...
Was given beta blockers which calmed down the palipations, leaving just a very feint flutter on each heartbeat (again all the time)... still can barely walk and have gotten brief pains in wrist and hands along with tiny veins appearing there that I've never seen before.
Beta-blockers can make you feel tired and lethargic. Maybe you can ask your doctor if lowering the dosage would be a good idea?
I started going to a gym recently because I am pretty out of shape and I want to reach better health. I notice that when I start the elliptical machine, I will get a few "thumps" at the start and usually nothing more, except sometimes after finishing. I am currently wearing a Holter monitor for palpitations and am interested to see how my heart behaves during exercise as I always get nervous when I get ectopics while working out. Thanks for the information.
Update? Was there any issues?
Updates men
Any news??
Are you ok?
Also I get my pvcs primarily when I sit down. I thought it was a coincidence, but it's not.
I have had an Echocardiogram done and also Cardio Angiogram done and both were fine other than minor CAD and some thickness due to high BP. I still get Ectopic beats which I can manage but I get them after eating a meal and I can get about 5 or 6 in one minute and this lasts for nearly 2 hours and then they start to calm down. I think this has to do with my stomach issues as I get a lot of bloating and belching/burping.
A few months ago I had walked from one building to another and it took me less than 10 minutes but I was walking faster, when I got there my heart was going so fast and all I could feel in my chest was like a vibrating feeling, the heart was just doing something on it's own. It took me 10-15 minutes for the heart to go back to it's normal rhythm. I got this same feeling the other day when I bent down to pick up a rubbish bin bag which was heavy to move. I noticed my heart started to play up, it was like it was shaking/jumping so I sat down and the feeling went away. To this day I have no answers what this feeling in the chest is. I had a 72 hour ECG monitor on me and this episode did not happen unfortunately. It looks to me when I put my heart under stress that's when this episode occurs. I have also noticed it happens mostly in the mornings. My work colleague thinks it may have something do with me having a shower every morning coming to work and maybe the heat of the water is affecting my heart etc. I have been put on 5mg Amlodipine taking in the morning and 5mg Ramipril at night which is keeping the BP in check.
I hope everyone stays safe, take care.
Good morning doctor sahib very clearly explained the symptom thanks and good wishes
thank you for making this video. !
I had an PVI Ablation with isthmus A-Flutter Line, stopped Amioderone 1 month post and it's been a 'creeper' where I'm able to do less and less, seems anything like light gardening and shopping sets me off, I get consistency and progression. If I try to break though the barriers then I pay for it. For the next 3-4 days after being active I then get ectopics just standing up on my feet then after days of bedrest I can walk around without triggering. At it's worst I get it all, I have a Wellue 24 hr heart monitor, picks up, PVC, PVC Bi and Tri, PAC, PAC Bi and Tri, SVT, A-fib, couplets PAC and PVC . Anything that involves flailing my arms around in activity will set me off. If I need to be busy I get a bad run, sit down for 5 mins, they go away and I restart my activity and comes back and I sit down, over and over again until I finish what I need to do and then I pay the price for the next couple of days. I'm coming up to 4 1/2 months post ablation and my heart scars from the ablation may still be forming
I have these ectopics everyday and have done for the past 3 years, it feels like they’re getting worse as I get older and I feel so down in the dumps. Please if anyone is out there who has them as much as I do I would love to chat with you.

Still getting them. Doc put me on losartan for hypertension... this sux. I exercise all the time and still having pvcs

In my case was just the opposite. When I had ectopic heard beats and exercises, it got me into ventricular tachycardia. I was wearing a monitor that week and it caught it. I felt so sick, thought my heart was going to explode. My doctor got worried and called me in. Lucky I never had it again.

I had a few today while walking. I have experienced them before but not all the time. Really confusing.
I would like to start off by saying that you are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate these videos so much! If you wouldn't mind trying to answer this...I have POTS and sometimes I get bad episodes that last about 30 minutes, where I'm getting hundreds of multifocal pvcs. I've gotten at least a dozen in a row. I've noticed it's when I'm usually waitressing, so somewhat stressful and moving around. Do you think this could be my adrenals? I do get dizzy and have to lay down for the rest of the day. I've gotten an ecg, ekg, and heart monitors. My doctor doesn't have much to say about it..Thanks! :)
Thank you so much!
Oh gosh i feel safe after reading your comment, i’ve been getting 3-4 in a row , and every hr or so , then i read your comment and i’m like aahh i just have a few so i’m fine hehe.

@@tzukhi how are you now? Do you still get ectopics
How are you feeling now @Amber Nicole
thank u so much for the information!!
Hey guys I‘m an 18yo healthy girl, I‘ve had ectopics for a year now tho echo, ekg and stress test are clear. I had 2 ectopics on exercise once but didn’t care but a few days ago I was riding the bike for about 1 hour and when I was lowering the exercise I started to get a lot of them, like a lot. I stopped for a while and then stopped too and when I went back I didn‘t get any for more 15 minutes and when I was getting home I got 1-2 again. I‘m really scared now. I had completely stopped exercising since I began to feel ectopics. Exercise makes me really anxious but I‘m trying to get back to it. Has anyone experienced the same thing I did?
@Alicante Actress Have you gotten checked out?
Do you still get them?or they completely gone?
I still get them, they have lessened though since I started working on my anxiety. I feel about one a day and it doesn't bother me anymore
@@Tri_sanu
I’m nervous. Seems like mine tick up everytime I do any exercise. Waiting on my zio patch results and then hoping the cardiologist I see follows up with more tests. He seems to kinda be brushing me off over my age (34). Sincerely hope he doesn’t try to push me off. Waiting on confirmation or condition sucks so bad. Mind running wild.
I have the same issue. I am 33 and they think I am so healthy. The more active I am, the more ectopics I get. So hard for them to take me seriously. This just started happening 5 weeks ago for me.
We’ll I tell ya what I’m in a whole other world now. I’ve had my tests and have calmed down allot. I’m not longer stressed about them. Good echo and stress echo. Then it was just getting over the mental aspect of it all. You’re probably the exact same. If seems exceedingly rare these things are actually a sign of something bad.
@@Jeffhomulton thank you. Especially at our age and if our hearts are healthy, it seems like they aren’t too serious. It was just so random that they came on out of no where about a month ago.
@@DanWActualhow are you?
@@Fahad-rt3tv I am doing better. I had chronic Lyme disease. Treating it has helped the ectopics tremendously. Figuring out it was lyme was difficult

@@Yanis-dy6kblsame, how are you?
Great video - very informative
thanks!
Hello Doctor. I hope you’re able to respond to me. I did a stress test and I did fine, but the Cardiologist said I had pvcs during exercise. I want to get back in the gym, but I’m worried. I’ve always been healthy and fit, but for some reason he said I had a lot of them. He told me not to worry, but easier said than done.
How are you going now
What is the clinical significance, if any, of the presence of a short PR interval with ectopics present during activity?
All of my palpitations happen on the cool down after doing some sort of activity. It sucks. I'm going to go to a cardiolgist just to ease my mind on what's going on.
Any answers ?
@@ItsNonPacksnope. I did a stress test and echo and nothing alarming came out of it. I have a heart monitor on right now.
@@nickalater interesting. Also are you depleted after workouts maybe dizzy at times ?
@@ItsNonPacks nah. I’m more winded but that’s most likely because i haven’t worked out since June 6 which is when it all started.
Im a 36 year old ultra marathon runner. I have been getting pvcs (sometimes 3 joined together) on excerice for 4 months now. They start at around 115bpm and will get around 50 per 5 mins and they can be very painful. The more a train the worse it gets and they enter into my normal daily life. When they are bad i get nerve type buzz/tingling deep in my throat/chest. When i rest for a few weeks it goes away. Im then to told by cardyoligists each time that i can "get on with my life" and even written me out a training plan. I then start training again and withing a few days it gets really bad again and i cant even work because my heart keeps vibrating everytime i move. Ive had every cardiac test possible up to a Cardiac stress MRI which is very unpleasant. All has been ruled out as a cardiac issue. I am now going down the path of Esophagus and Neurological. In my own experience I feel I've been given poor advice by 3 cardiologists and a radiologist as there advice has spurred my on to exacerbate my symptoms and make me worse off than before..
In some cases I would be weary of taking cardiologists advice if they havent figured out the underlying cause. They are trained in one specific area and dont cross over into other parts of the anatomy.
I have finally come across an amazing GP who seems very interested in helping me get to the bottom of it. We have agreed that in the short to possibly long term I have to quit running as we believe it could be caused by exhausting nerves or nerve compression through injury which if constantly irrated could end up being much worse.
I would be interested in getting in touch or talking to anyone else that is going through something similar or who has had any success...
Hi, I am a weight lifter and have the same issue for 6-7 months now :( I had 2 cardiologist visits, and they all told me that “it is normal, nothing to worry about”.. The ultrasound, ekg, 24 hour device all came back negative. Did you find out the cause?
@dreadwolfy7568 After a long year. Mine have come down to severe stress from a marriage break up mixed with a hiatus hernia. I was holding so much tension in my diaphragm and abdomen constantly that it was pushing up through my esophagus. All my muscles in my esophagus stopped working too and I couldn't eat for days at a time. The nerves for the esophagus are linked with the heart also so they can get confused. I was also unable to regulate hot or cold weather and would shiver and my heart would vibrate. It was basically a nervous break down.
I was prescribed setraline for a month and left my wife and its nearly all cleared up. I still have a few mild symptoms and can't run yet but it's definitely healed a lot. I only get about 2 flip flops or rumbles from heart a week now down from about 500 a week...
i have ectopic extra heart beat every day i go to gym and i workout hard and heavy but i dont notice any extra heart beat during workout i think if ectopic extra heart beat was dangoures i wasnt alive now so people dont worry about extra heart beat they are normal
Hi, I recently had a stress test. My heart went into bigeminy throughout the whole test and recovery period. Echo and mri normal. 48 hour ecg showed couplets, triplets and four broad complex beats in a row. I feel breathless, faint and have chest pain. I am now seeing a electrophysiologist in London. He is repeating the stress test now I am on beta blockers to see how my heart is coping. I am unable to work as I am a Nannie for 2 year old twins. I cant risk passing out. Any advice would be great.
fizzol12345 did you ever find out why
How ru now plsssss reply
I found this after being worried by some eptopic beats. I’ve just started going for longer walks. I push a buggy at a good pace without stopping for about 10,000 steps sometimes more (I’ve just started doing this every day) Two days in a row once I was back to the house I felt palpitations apon stopping I guess quite suddenly. It is the time in my cycle where my hormones are going mad and it’s been hot outside. I had an ecg in October which was fine. I felt two eptopic beats yesterday when doing a shorter walk but was quite relaxed in the evening and it then frightened me.. should I be worried by these?! I’m trying to get fit but this is worrying me into doing less . ( I walk at some people’s slow jogging pace)
Hi Alexa. I hope you’re doing a lot better!
I'm 45 year old male and I tried to exercise today by walking fast down 9 flights of stairs and back up 9 flights of stairs and as soon as finished I could hear by heartbeat in ears, my heart was beating fast and then it all stopped after couple minutes and everything returned to normal. But, then, after about 5 minutes I was sitting down and I noticed the slightest headache. Does this all sound normal or something that needs to be checked out? Thank you!
Sounds like a pvc which is normal idk about the headache part might want to follow up on that with a doctor
weird, today i went for a 2-3km walk and did it pretty fast, didn't notice any ectopics until after i walked up a huge inclined path in the bush, first sensations struck me right up the neck really heavy, it was a 15 min walk home since then and felt at least 8-10 heavy ectopics on the way back, i can run and run and barely feel them most days, i actually felt quite dizzy during a pause, but don't know if that was due to me being anxious over it. they stopped as soon as i got home.
It's you being anxious
How are you?
What about as your heart starts slowing down after exercise as mine skips all over the place after especially
hey Dr. sanjay missed you, thank you for another informative video .
but..... can heart palpitations accrue during and while excersising?
and are there any excersises they should and should not do.
ps. I hope you feel better very soon!☺
lots of luck!!!
thanks sarah and thanks for your kind wishes..feeling a lot better today
id avoid unaccustomed exercise and do cardio rather than heavy weights
Putting pressure by lifting heavyweights, increasing heart rate and pretty sure you'll be holding your breath for brief moments and tending your core, will likely give you ectopics every now and then anyway reduce The weight you don't need to lift extremely heavy to achieve a good body or strength, strength to me is p4p (pound for pound) so a guy who can do 20 pull ups who is 140lb is stronger for his weight than a guy who's 200lb that can only so 8 pull ups but can bench maybe 200kg that 140lb guy is still stronger for his weight, and in life and every day situations core strength is much more vital than static strength
Your lungs are your hearts best friends

Hi Dr Sanjay, I have been having ectopics for 8 or so years now, mostly at rest. They tend to go away during exercise, but lately, as soon as the exercise ends I'll get a few very consistantly. Since they don't seem to occur during peak activity, is this something to be worried about?
neongoat Same thing happens to me, finish a bit of cardio and I get them followed by nausea
Get a cardio electrogram test
This sounds the same as what Im getting, I'll do an hour or so of intervals and feel fine during it, but when I stop I suddenly will get 2 or 3 pains in my chest that feel like a fist is trying to push its way up my throat. Is it the same for you?
@@aegisgfx You get them because you're changing your levels of energy, you're exercising, while you have anxiety, and then you stop exercising, but your anxiety is still there, panicking yourself, which will be strange for your heart plus you're thinking about those ectopics. your breathing probably changes too, which heart works in relation to the lungs, vice versa, it's nothing to be worried about, you afraid of getting a heart attack? Well ectopics don't really relate to a heart attack and if they did, they would be stronger dur-in exercise when your heart is working it's hardest not after, non of which you described relate to any heart problem, which highlights my first point, anxiety and stress.
@@yungthug2403 in the last 2 years since Ive been getting these pains after a race or intervals, Id also get an accelerated HR after intervals, sometimes for 8 to 10 minutes after my HR would go up to 180 (max for me) even though I was not riding hard, or in some cases I was walking or standing still. Can than be connected to the PVCs or maybe vagus nerve issues?
I have it no matter what i do and all my tests are fine due for a treadmill test soon
I have had ectopics now for over a year and at first the episodes were few and far inbetween but now they are incredibly frequent like at least 3 a day at first they were just at rest but now they are happening Everytime I exercise. I've had a lot of cardiac testing done and they all came back normal of course I didn't have an episode during these tests but it ruining my life. I don't even want to exercise anymore. I wanted to start taking magnesium I'm wondering what brand would be best for ectopics??
Hi, similar here, started with big intervals, now several a day and everytime I exercise. Had some tests done and all came back normal. Doctor proposed me beta blockers, but don't feel to comfortable with this. How are you doing? Any progress...
Nick Code do you get them while excercising/lifting weights and after excercise... I’ve had them for a few weeks now i counter how many I had during the gym as I can feel them happen in my chest. I had 200 in 40 minutes. How ridiculous.
@@josh.l9370how are you counting them, a monitor or just the feeling you feel when it happens
I've had one or two palpitations while exercising but it doesn't happen all the time. They usually happen more at rest than when I'm working out but it has happened before...its scary as hell but as long as I don't pass out I figure I'm good....I have anxiety so that's probably part of it.
If you die from exercise then you ain't gonna live very long anyway so ignore it and don't let it ruin your goals a life without goals isn't a life anyway
One or 2 is nothing btw he even said so don't worry
I’ve been working out for 2 days in a row but the eptopics come way later after the workout. Could this be a problem? Just started back working out
Tash Vlogs happens to me as well
I feel my ectopics AFTER exercise mainly. What would that mean?
PVC is that ectopic beats ? I have feeling of skipped beat then strong one right after, the definition is Ectopic beats ? Thanks
Doc quick question please. So I got up this morning underslept, loads of anxiety. I'm dealing and curing my anxiety disorder successfully but still get anxious at night sometimes and ectopics and that prevents me from sleeping, like hypnic jerks or a rush of adrenaline througout my body as I'm falling asleep and that feaks me out , wakes me upand my heart palpitates. I't s getting better as I'm practicing mindfulness and earthing. Anyways this morning while underslept and over anxious I started to do an intense calisthenics workout, like still not fully awake and I got 3 big skipped beats followed by a big beat and then regular rhythm. Then After 20 minutes, I watched your video about progression/consistency and I said, let me test to see if I would get the same ectopics with the same exercise. So I repeated the same exercise and I didn't get any ectopics at all. Also, I'm full of energy and not tired at all. Not breathless, no pain in my chest. Feel fine. So I guess based on your description this is most likely a situational ectopic caused by stress, lack of sleep, exercise rather than a heart related thing right? Thanks Omar
absolutely omar
@@YorkCardiology thanks doc

@ Great to hear you’re doing well and feeling fine. And yeah, you’re absolutely right-the most important thing is your Dr gave you the green light.
Ok I have experienced skipped beats for a while now, I can definitely fell I get a few every few days. But I was bench pressing and as soon as I sat up on the bench, I had a skipped beat, then I kinda panicked and stood up and had two more, almost back to back. Is this something to worry about? I don’t have them much when exercising, but I’ve had them before. Also if I can feel them, does that mean I can feel everyone that happens, or no. Hopefully I can because that will mean I’m not having 100s a day
How are you? Any update?
Doc need your help pls can you quickly look into this. So I've been under extreme stress, recovering from health anxiety and panic disorder. Doing a lot better with meditation, being more mindful, better sleeping habits, better hydration, a solid whole foods diet, etc. However uptil that point I think I got GERD but I'm treating it and basically coming into my normal self again. So the last 3 days I've had some very painful ectopics.. They always happen in the same position. I was out with my friends talking for hours after a long days of work and underslept or with interrupted sleep. I had drank carbonated Perrier, ate Dark chocolate and chewed sugar free gum with apsartame gum throughout the day( i recently learned that these are food triggers for ectopics). Anyways On Friday I was so stressed, anxious and panicky that I got a big ectopic(no pain), then after I was so tired, my chest felt tight and then I was sitting in my friends car and I had another ectopic but it was painful or it could have been a muscle spasm or esophageal spasm or something due to acid reflux from anxiety. I had the same painful ectopic yesterday sitting in my friends car. I was anxious and had a bad stomach pain from anxiety. I also notice that a few times last week, when I'm bent f forward with intensity, looking at something on the computer or in my head I get an extra beat that hurts . When I breath I'm fine. Also today I was exhausted, and had some indigestion from anxiety and was walking briskly to the market and I felt a painful, thud, ectopic and it was painful and uneasy. Funny enough after that I felt so relieved and light almost if this and the others were just gas. I feel better after I burp. Almonst like it was gas or a bubble and then it just popped and the air came out and I'm fine. Anyways I've been dealing with I think GERD or acid reflex from stress/anxiety and I know that as I feel I tight knot in my epigastric area and can point to the spot and it feels tight and tender. When I'm calm, no pressure or pain. Anyways wanted to know what foods to avoid for ectopics or what foods are good( I hear almonds, bananas are great). Also, are these ectopics or just gas related spasms in the chest or vagal nerve spasms or upper gastric spasms. MY BP is normal at 110/82, my parents are 70s, no heart disease, perfect health, so good genes. I can workout like a savage and don't get tired at all, no fainting, no afib, just been stressed, anxious and with stomach acid, gut, acid irritation from anxiety. Doing whatever I can to calm down and it is working bn it. Thanks.
Sounds like most of your episodes are triggered by your stomach and stress. And it's probably over-stimulating the vagus nerve.
I have actual Afib and I'm positive it is triggered by the vagus nerve connection. Everything points to it. Since changing my diet and adding magnesium I haven't experienced Afib in almost a year now.
HI Dr. I just came across this Video, I just had a stress echo they kept me on my Metoprolol and Enalapril during the test but I got my heart rate up to 90 percent. I get my Ectoptics mostly on the recovery from a set from strength training in between sets after the first several sets. They fire 10 a minute most every day. On the treadmill they don't fire as often except on the recovery phase. what is your opinion on that type of pattern. Thanks
It's normal. It happens because of stress caused by exercise.

I get them when I train with weights, my heart rate is only 100. So I was worried because my heart rate is not even high
Hi can u please tell me is it dangerous if i get ectopics every time i finish set lets say i lift 10 reps of weight and when i sit down after that i feel few ectopics. i have echo holter and stress test done lately all was good
Doc sanjay, i experience irregular beat during lifting heavy weight, but not consistently, and whenever i do running, i dont experience any irregularities. But its giving me anxiety since my cousin died of cardiac arrest while playing sport. Should i be worried?
You need to see a cardiologist for a full work up with your heart...doesnt mean anything is wrong, but the fact your cousin who was young had a cardiac arrest does increase your risk. Don't stress see a cardiologist to give you the all clear
