Bloody hell...who else thought that she had passed? When she came out with the tea I realised I hadn't breathed for a while. Fantastic work by the Doctors who I assume work for the amazing NHS.
I did.
They always do that! It’s blood awful. I know they’re trying to make it suspenseful or something but it’s so wrong
This will teach me not to read the comments while watching the video
@@libsybum3591 It's the one thing I don't like about this show. To be fair, they don't always do it, and this is one of the worst examples.
I thought she died there for a second at the end.
yeh wtf was going on there
Me too
Same
@@Sarah-fs8fythey do that often on this show
Considering the absolute plethora of videos now about the current pandemic, it is a nice change to see videos and stories with positive outcomes!
Wow. I don't know what it was about watching her heart rate drop, but it just amazes me that people are saving lives and know how to. Thank you NHS
I've had tachycardia episodes my whole life and it feels absolutely horrible when your heart races like that.
@@skylercarlson5307 i only have had heart rate of a 126 bpm and it feels like your heart is about to pop out of the Chest. I can't not imagen having a heart rate of 240 bpm i really hope your doing better🙏
I have tachycardia. My heart beats 120+ everyday, it feels like im having a panic attack constantly due to it going so fast, i cant even run 30 seconds without having really bad chest pains and being breathless and wheezing, its hard to live with sometimes. Im very glad shes okay.
Ah I have tachy too! It was so bizarre watching this. I was like wait? almost forgetting it wasn’t normal to have a standard heart rate of like 120-175 😭 it’s so weird on my watch as my partners heart rate is normally 65 and I’m resting at 100 on a good day 😂😂😂
I’m the same it’s hard living with it
I have tachy to but mines minor 104 beats but it’s horrible I can’t imagine how 120+ feels
Racing heart something we learn to live with. Heart generally runs high, but on occasion it has hit 256 bpm. That’s the highest measurement, doesn’t last long, but it’s horrible. I have Propranolol to slow it down, but it can get out of hand mid dose. Maybe see your Dr about taking beta blockers, too ?
what causes your tachycardia?
Its amazing to watch the doctor get his prediction of the shock work out as he wanted. Shows the strength of his profession.
Ps: thanks for the likes all👍
It’s scary knowing I have a fluctuating heart rate of 100-140 on a constant and my doctor was kinda like meh about it... but this lady was brought straight into resus....I think I need a new doctor...
Do you have history of heart disease? If not, then you're one of those hypochondriacs who go to doctors for all the little things
Zie SpiralOut you need to see a cardiologist, I didn’t have heart problems either until I magically turned up with Vtach! Mind you I’ve been going to the drs practically my whole life for my blood! Please find a better doctor friend♥️ and fuck that guy👆🏾
Anxiety that sounds like
Gail Breslin it’s constant though....like every time I check it for over a year, it’s at least around 100.... and about 25% of the time I check it, it’s in the 120-140 range....if it’s anxiety, I have been having a hardcore panic attack for over a year now.... I actually got put on some medication for my tachycardia finally; I guess the doctor just wanted to make sure of the test results first because about 2 weeks after I saw him this last time, he put me on metoprolol... so far it works well, it’s been staying in the 90-100 which is great for my hummingbird heart, lol...
@@ZieSpiralOut I've had exactly the same thing, numerous ecg's all showing sinus tachycardia at different intervals. The GP showed little to no interest, got Bisoprolol which hasn't made much difference. I've seen cardiologist and he diagnosed inappropriate sinus tachycardia, all this time I was treated like I was having panic attacks turns out it was actually something. You know you're body, if something isn't right, make them hear you. Stay safe
Last time when I was 10 years old, My grandmother aged 67 was also high in heart rates. But the doctor managed to save her life. My grandma was warded in ICU For 28 days then 14 days in high dependency unit. & finally discharged.
Last time when you were 10 years old!?!
How many times have you been 10 years old?🤔
@@comanchio1976 Right now I am 31 years old. It means 21 years ago I was 10 years old.
These doctors are honestly amazing
I cannot wait to become a Dr.
You won't be saying after 10 years qualified. The stress will get to you.
Good luck!!
@@Rashidabdi5 stop giving her fake optimism
Relentless Ruthie wishing you luck Dr ♥️
Look just stop it. Its all bollocks. Doctors are stressed and overwhelmed most of time. I'm sure they would all quit tomorrow if they could
I have a heart condition but not the same one as this lady’s. And wow I find this all so fascinating!! It was incredible seeing the heart change its rhythm after it’s been shocked. I find it so fascinating how we have electricity keeping our body’s ticking! I take ivabradine which changes my hearts currency, my heart goes from a resting heart rate of 120bpm to 70bpm with the medication. It’s basically a pacemaker in a pill. I love the British heart foundation too ♥️
Wow, glad she was ok. I can relate to this as my resting heart rate is 50 bpm and back in March 2022 I had a series of 9 cardiac arrests (ventricular storm) as my heart went a bit crazy with arrhythmia and the heart rate even hit 315bpm at one point on the way to hospital before the cardiac arrests. I’m now on lots of medication and have a dual ICD and pacemaker fitted. My bpm has hit 240 at rest since the fitting. It’s worrying but in truth I’m ok! The NHS staff are amazing and doing a brilliant job ( they should get the money they deserve) and BHF is a great charity! Happy New Year all!! X
I love this programme. Amazing doctors and nurses.
There's me with a heart rate of 200 for 5 hours in resus and they didn't seem concerned at all! Strange how different hospitals work x
I sat in a&e with a heart rate of 200 for hours as they gave me drugs to slow it down lowest it went with them was about 170 i ended up needing to get shocked aswel turns out i have afib at 30 years old 🙄 what a fucking drama
She already had a heart condition, and perhaps other risk factors, it differs based on the patient, not generally the hospital. Some people can have bouts of high heart rates caused by nothing serious
Sounds pretty bad. Have you ever gotten your medical notes out?
Sounds pretty bad. Have you ever gotten your medical notes out?
@@marti9 did it hurt to get shocked?
I thought she died near the end because they did the death screen 🥺
Brilliant work from the Doctors there amazing. Well done.
This show gets me every time. They present the final scene as if someone has passed. Phew.
Bloody hell it had me in the first half ngl, was nearly cutting onions until she came out with a cup of tea
Prayers go out to the people and their families going through this x
Beautiful story! Wonderful outcome!
Marcel Moulin Beautiful story! Wonderful outcome!
This happened to me 2 year's ago, my heart rate was at 250bpm, it took them 6 hours to get it to be normal.... I'm now an meds for the rest of my life and at some point i will need a defib fitted. It made me appreciate what i have.
Glad she’s okay!
Recently had an SVT episode. 207bpm. Was sent straight to resus and given Adenosine which worked.
Great Nhs ,, blessing can not give enough thank
My resting is about 144. Scares me to death.
I went into a&e with afib & had to have cardioversion (was 27 at the time). Was quite a scary experience, especially for my mum & GF who watched it happen
I'm more in love with the love story...
i had to go once to the ER with an heart rate of 160, i was 30 at the time
Same happened to me 😢😢
Nice to see a couple still very much in love after all those years
So I have Vtach and let me tell you, you feel like you’re going under when it starts going! Highest I’ve ever had is 170 and felt like I was killing over in the moment, definitely wouldn’t wish this shit on anybody! May she get better♥️
Methane Gummybear whattt that’s crazy😳 how are you now?
I’ll never forget that feeling, I’ve had 2 ablations for it now.
I had a cardiac arrest and have an s icd, been ok so far
I once went to kick a ball with my bare foot and caught the edge of my back door step, well let's just say my big toe travelled farther than the ball. My heart raced that day.
I have a pots and I easily have rates of around 190 a day and I can’t tell if I’m alive when it happens 😂 I will either faint or get very confused and out of it
Me too! I think the highest I've had was close to 200 and it terrifying. It hurts! But when it finally goes back to normal you feel incredible lol
God bless, bless, a billion times bless those medical professionals! Hope Angela is doing very well.
One day I was at school and something like this happened to me. My heart rate went up to like 200 something. It was extremely painful to walk around and I wasn’t really sure what was happening. I ended up driving to an urgent care and they could not get a pulse reading on the regular intake machines. They ended up having to send me to the ER in an ambulance, they gave me something that they said “reset” my heart and that hurt like a bitch. Tests were ran and stuff but there wasn’t really a reasoning as to why that happened, just said it was SVT and it’s never happened again.
I had that happen to me! My heart rate was around 270 for about 45 minutes before the paramedics got there. The meds they gave me to make it stop hurt so bad, and they did it twice. It was so scary, and I really feel for you! Hopefully it doesn’t happen again for either of us.
Hi Lucy. I'm well aware that you commented over a year ago, however, I feel I should give you a little bit of an explanation. I too have supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which affects about 35/100 000 people.
Now SVT is caused by 'faulty electricity' having fun in your heart. I'm no cardiologist, but in short, the heart kind of short-circuits and starts beating much faster. The highest rate I managed to record was about 220 with a handheld oximeter.
Fortunately, SVT is much different from VT. Supraventricular meaning above ventricle chambers of the heart and tachycardia refers to a heart rate above 100. Therefore, SVT means that whatever's causing the tachycardia, causes the atriums (above chambers of the heart) to also fire properly. Ventricular tachycardia starts in the ventricles and does not properly send sinus electrical impulses throughout the heart. But don't worry, if you get VT, you'll only know after you wake up from resuscitation.
Fortunately, SVT isn't very dangerous as long as the atriums are filling up enough to pump sufficient blood into the ventricles. You were probably given adenosine which completely restarts the heart in a matter of seconds, I have heard that's not the most exciting drug in the world as 'Raging Artist' has stated. In the future, if you are experiencing symptoms, I would recommend not driving in the unlikely but possible event you could fall unconscious, but rather ask for someone to drive you to the hospital or call an ambulance. Beta-blockers can be given to prevent or reduce the probability of it happening again. Alternatively, if it continues, an ablation may be offered that freezes or 'kill's the little thing responsible for causing all the trouble.
I can still remember my first SVT attack at school. Awful experience. My heart rate went up to nearly 200 when I reach the emergency room, multiple doctors came to help, had to have an injection that "reset" my heart, emergency lines were held up because of me.
@@funtimetuber093 They weren't that nice to me! I was in the waiting room for a few minutes before I was taken into resus 1 with a BPM of 204, where I said for about 20 minutes until it fixed itself.
You were probably given adenosine. I had a suspected SVT attack and I was given it in an IV twice. I gave me PTSD because I felt chest pain and like me body was on fire for about 10 seconds. Technically it restarts your heart and stops it. Not fun!!!!
God bless the doctors and healthcare staff all over the world..
They are absolutely adorable♡
Reached over 230bpms when I went in, also had Sepsis 😃. Did feel very ropey
178bpm once (panic attack and hyperthyroidism)
188 just by walking stairs but i have it every singel day thanks to POTS
0bpm.. for over a minute.. 2 times. I don't have a heart condition. I'm just stupid.
@@LillyDoesGamingandVlogs im pretty sure my heart went up to like 210 bpm when I had a panic attack yesterday. The only reason I know I’m okay is because they’ve done a full evaluation at the cardiologist and found nothing
These stories motivate me, to carry on with my studies. After all the most beautiful profession, one could ever strive for.
I've had heart rate 150-180. I've had two ablations in two months
My heart rate regularly goes up to 240 beats a minute. I have had two ablations since.
I came across this video by chance. Last time I went to A&E my heart rate was 190. I was told to hold my nose and blow. Problem fixed sent home. Should I have more investigation into the cause? One cannot tell as anything from the staff.. they keep a calm exterior.
LondonJo absolutely should go get a consultation from cardiology! That can be A-Fib or V-Tach or something more serious! They’d likely give you an event monitor to see if they can catch if the rhythm changes when your HR gets that high!
@@yodaclay4840 thank you for the advice and I am surprised that medical professionals have not done any follow-up monitoring. Now I am I'll with Coronavirus at home and don't want to go to hospital although my pulse is haywire, between 95 and 135. It's not the best time for anyone like me to get treatment with the hospitals so overloaded.
LondonJo aww goodness I pray you come through this! I’m so sorry you’re being bombarded ♥️
My heart rate was 158 when I was in hospital..
I have anxiety and panic attacks panic disorder and flashbacks PTSD because of my past and I have four panic attacks or two everyday at school and thoughts of self harm
Make sure you are speaking to people around you and phone Samaritans if you need help x
My mother had this exact heart problem along with many other issues. However once the put the defib in her chest it controlled it beautifully.
Nurse here...what about the face dunk? For tachycardia that high, have patient dunk head face first in a bowl of ice water--it works...seen it in real life and also on hosp videos.
I had 150 heart rate with sepsis
Thought you write stepsis for a second
I was just in resus for this a few weeks ago and mine was 230
It was the worst experience ever
She said do u no what this is to a doctor 😂
you'd be surprised. There's a girl in my history class who is 22, she's had extreme fluctuating pain in her abdomen since she was 16 - she has endometriosis and she wasn't diagnosed for ages because her GP didn't know what it was and none of the hospital doctors whenever she went to A&E (when it was really bad) knew about it either. it's also quite common with that particular condition to not be diagnosed properly for years because there's a lack of knowledge about it.
I have SVT and my episodes can easily reach 280bpm, I went to A&E with a heart rate of that once and I got told to "go home because it was just anxiety". So glad this lady got help she deserved properly :)
I've had an episode that looked very similar to her. Similar room. Similar doctors crowding. Family at the bedside worried sick.
I don't have any serious heart condition, thankfully. But one day I just went into a sudden state of just not being able to control my heart rate at all. It was beating insanely fast and I was just laying down. I started to panic and called family to say I think I need to go to hospital right now.
Got there and was taken straight through to Resus (never happens so when it did I realised oh wow they're as concerned about me as I am)
The doctor took a look at me, up at the heart monitor and back at me. Did a literal double take. She said "are you okay? Sit down..." she could not believe I was standing and appeared normal.
I had multiple tests. Many blood tests. X-ray. ECG. Ultrasound heart scan. And pretty intense questioning by Doctors who seemed pretty sure that I had taken drugs of some sort. They couldn't believe there wasn't a glaring reason for what was happening.
At one point I overheard the Doctor talking to a cardiologist on the phone. She was completely lost on what to do with me. She said she couldn't discharge me because she had no idea why it was happening and had had no success in bringing the rate down.
So I was kept in until all the tests had come back and the cardiologist had seen the results and seen me.
The heart rate started to come down slowly over the next 24 hours but still not normal. But they had all the results back and nothing was wrong. I had a follow up with a cardiologist and was fitted with a recording device to wear for several weeks. Went back and it showed nothing of concern. Had several more ECG tests in that intervening time. All normal.
So I was discharged. I never got a really concrete reason. They put it down to possibly a very
severe anxiety/panic response. But ultimately they were not sure. And thankfully it hasn't happened since.
It sounds like SVT. I'm surprised they weren't able to diagnose it. You should google it. Supraventricular tachycardia. It happened to me last year at age 49. Heart rate shot up out of nowhere, was just doing light housework. Called 911 when I realized I couldn't lower my HR and they rushed me to ER. They diagnosed it right away and used a natural technique to lower it that thankfully worked, so that they didn't have to use drugs. It's frightening. My heart rate was 170 for about 2 hours. I was exhausted for a week afterward, like I'd run a marathon. I'm terrified that it'll happen again. I have a history of palpitations but nothing like this. Look up the condition, SVT, and the natural way to reset your heart rate, called the modified valsalva maneuver. There are videos on RUclips about it and a lot of info on the internet as well.
Just curious how long ago it happened? Here in US? How high did your HR get? I'm still flabbergasted they didn't know what to do and just let you sit there with a high heart rate for over 24 hours. Juzt 2 hours was hell so can't imagine. They diagnosed me soon as they hooked me up to machines. I feel bad for you.
FYI, panic attacks don't raise the HR really high for hours. I can't believe they thought that's what it was. Did you even feel panicked? I've had panic attacks and they felt nothing like the SVT. The paramedics suspected a panic attack at first too but when they took my pulse and saw how high it was and that it had already been that way for 45 minutes they rushed me to ER without hesitation.
I have wpw this is so scary to watch my heart rate can get too 270 and I completely black out.
Nhs are fantastic
So glad she was OK.
Someone who has been in AFIB with RVR its scary as fuck man.
I hope Australia get to that stage it’s scary
Doctors are amazing!
wonderful story x
Funny. I live with a heart rate of 150bpm and higher 24/7. In fact my case is known around the world. If you want, you can tolerate like I do, but nobody has as severe a case as me in the world.
I’ve had Adenosine and Cardioversion many times. It’s also good to point out that shocking someone almost never ever causes a heart to stop or have issues, it’s incredibly safe. Even if you shocked a healthy person and healthy heart, no harm would come of it. Adenosine and Cardioversion both stop your heart for a second or two. I’ve had both and the doctors tell you it will feel as if you’re dying and feeling of doom, it’s correct, you can feel your heart stop for a few seconds and it feels like you’re slipping away from life, then it kicks back in. But for me my condition is so unique and rare, that Adenosine or Cardioversion, nor ANY cardiac medications in the world work for me. So I’m stuck with a resting heart rate of 150bpm or over 24/7.
try a strong nigella sativa oil (black seed oil) for a few weeks
This was scary thank God she was saved
My heart nearly stopped as i thought she died 🤣
45 Bpm heart rate should been a red flag
70 is the average in the U.K. anywhere between 40-95 isn’t generally a concern
i remember when i was out for a run and just immediately, out of nowhere, felt off....my mom called 911 when i walked in and just immediately passed out so hard that my head smacked the coffee table. when the paramedics told the doctor what my heart rate was he just immediately said "bullshit, really?"
120bpm is slow, my heart has gone up to 350 bpm before
Britain has best heart care on earth I think. It's great. Emecto shock settles heartbeat to regular beat again. Wild stuff
I have a problem w my heart rate and BP. I’ve been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency (my adrenal glands quit working for good).
I’m Being forced to watch this for school help me
My heartrate is always 120-200
Well this is odd, If she went to the hospital with a heart of 150, and a heart rate of 199-200 is asking for a heart attack. My heart was once 227, and I just went to the doctors office.
I hope 1 day i can work here.🙏
Be stressed out and underpaid? Don't think so
Wait if I get anxiety attacks a lot w a heartbeat of 130-170 is that quite dangerous?
Taylor if you’re young, as in under 30, it’s probably fine as a lot of young people get to 170 just by exercising. But see someone about the anxiety so it’s not happening a lot
universe93 okay thank you. I take anxiety meds but I get attacks everyone once and a while. Thank you for the response.
I get the same thing hit 170 at the doctors today bc of my anxiety !!!
Really happy that the husband cracked up. Why? Because after the doctors took care of what the husband could not, as in resetting the heart beat, that is the only positive thing, as in the husband cracking, that she came away with. Her sons had been cured already, as far any they could.
Happened to me once, ended up due to anxiety
I had 186bpm in icu and nurses just shouted to see was I ok ?? .....
It was so scary to watch.
They had to do same to me but because I'd taken overdose I was awake
Crazy to think that in essence the heart just needed the reset button pressing
Without propranolol my heart races an i can't get off it now been on it 5 years October. Im due for a 24 hour ecg soon. I've got severe anxiety an been through alot of stress. So pots could be possible. Just before i take my propranolol my heart races sometimes if i haven't taken my propranolol properly just before i do my hearts atleast at 130 nearly. And it drops to 80 on propranolol that's what stress does to the body. 😞
I'm on 100mg and my heart still goes to 200
Try 220 and the cold water method works everytime
heart can go fast for hours
While we’re not built to have a 150bpm heart rate, it’s fine when we exercise.
Also confused as to why they didn’t use lidocaine to bring her heart rate down? Then again, that’s only temporary
Pay rise? Why 😒
150? Uhm mines was at 170 for like 2 days and I was feeling totally fine. If it wasnt for ppl telling it was considered bad I wouldn't of known lol. It went away on it's own after 2 days. (I'm 27 with no medical issues)
What a beautiful lady
45 heart rate is not a normal heart rate, it's a bradychardia and it needs to be studied asap.
Sounds like she's got quite complex heart issues already before this. She's probably on a host of drugs already.
We are designed to have a heart rate well over 150 bpm, don't always listen to what doctors tell you, they only go by what they have been taught.
Not at rest
Wrong - not at rest
@@avnistar2703 Where did I say at rest?

Why did they edit it like that, I thought they were about to say she died 😩
I’m keeping my chronic condition permanently no cures for me anymore I can handle it myself
I’ve had two heart problems due to low calcium an low potassium so that means can’t be treated for seizures an vasovagal syncope.
wow my heart rate was 143 they didnt do anything
Uhhh what happens if your heart rate goes over 150 when you’re exercising?
Your max heart rate when exercising is 240- your age so its normal
@@bethburnett3883 ok that’s alright then! Thank you, I worry about these things a lot 😅
your heart needs to beat that fast in order to keep up with the demands of your muscles when you exercise - but if its happening at rest then that is a problem.
There should be a way to save little girl from her own heart condition her name is brachi she needs a better heart I recommend to any surgeon that will really care about that special little girls heart condition peace out and goodnight it is heart heart breaking that a little girl that is that brave to be suffering that cause of her birth defect I should've changed that RUclips name that is on the top side and may her skies forever shine.
Mine went 205bpm, lol
Me every day. My heart rate goes up to 200 even with 100mg of beta blockers
Vagal maneuver 👍
My heart beats 180 sometimes. 154 is a good day, lol. I feel for her though. It’s traumatizing!
Did you get that checked out?
@@vg666 I did at one point in the hospital but it was ridiculous. They wouldn't take it seriously. Kept telling me it was anxiety. Believe me it's not. I talked to an arrythmia doctor and I am making an appointment with a specialist downtown. He believed me thank God. I am sick of it.
@@earthangel3108 It's good to hear it's getting taken care of soon. Best of luck to you!
@@vg666 Thank you. Still have a bit of a journey left but I have hope they can fix it. 💕
My heartrate goes very rapid at times, but for me it is an anxiety disorder. So it's quite scary cause I never know whether it's "fine" as in a panic attack, or an actual heart attack.
Did i hear the husband right he said resting heart rate at 45bmp? Cant be right. Even the most fittest athlete probably doesnt have a resting heart rate at that.
The saddest thing is this lady is only going to get more and more unwell over time. Sounds as though she has an inherited dilated cardiomyopathy and the prognosis is usually very poor
Who else thought she has died
Cadioversion - easy. Been there and done that. SVT suffers out there?
