this gentleman should get a trophy for his videos. he is so compassionate to share with us his knowledge . I pray the universe blesses him and his family beyond measure.
robert trottier I agree! I just found him a couple days ago on RUclips. It's difficult for an educated person to explain things to people like us ☺️ Let's just say we're educated in different areas but not heart health. I understand everything he explains and he is happy to educate people. Something I, personally, haven't seen in a medical doctor before.
From the video: 1. Stop worrying about your palpitations if you have been checked out by a cardiologist and your palps were found to be benign. They are not dangerous, only inconvenient. Worrying and having anxiety about them only makes them come more frequently. 2. Cut out excessive alcohol, particularly binge drinking. Also, the sulfites in wine contribute to more palpitations. 2a. Cut out caffeine, carbonated drinks, and energy drinks as they increase palpitations. 3. Stop smoking. Smoking induces chronic inflammation in the body which increases palps. 4. Start doing gentle exercise. If your palps are benign (see tip #1), don't worry about doing some exercise, it will be fine. Start with 10 mins of walking per day and build up from there. Exercise reduces inflammation which in turn reduces palps. 5. Get good sleep and enough of it. Lack of sleep has a huge inflammatory effect on the body which increases palps. 6. Reduce your stress levels. Stress is inflammatory. If possible, take time off work and take a vacation to someplace sunny and relax. 7. Reduce or stop eating processed foods. They are pro-inflammatory and the processing of the food strips their vitamins and minerals while also adding in toxins, chemicals, and preservatives. Try to primarily eat organic whole foods. Organic means the food has not been sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc., which are all poisonous to eat. Washing produce does not remove much of these poisons. Organic also inherently means non-GMO. 7a. Eat smaller portions. Large meals stretch the stomach which can worsen palpitations. 8. If you have acid reflux, get it treated. Reflux is generally caused by LOW stomach acid, not high. So antacids and PPI's will only make the problem worse. Avoid eating foods that you know give you reflux. For many people this would be things like dairy and chocolate. 9. Get your iron levels checked. Iron deficiency anemia can cause palps. Get your thyroid tested. Get your magnesium levels tested. Magnesium deficiency is most commonly caused by eating a diet high in processed foods. 10. Supplement with magnesium. The best way is to eat leafy vegetables. But if you must take a magnesium supplement, use any form except magnesium oxide because it's bioavailability is very low.
2:20 nothing bad is gonna happen to you.. you will not drop dead, you will not have a heart attack... I wanna replay this over and over.. thank you so much Dr. Gupta.
Nice Tips. 1. Stop worrying 2. Cut excessive alcohol 3. Stop smoking 4. Start doing some gentle exercise - gentle 10 minutes walk 5. Pay some attention to your sleep levels - good sleep hygiene. Sleep well 6. Try to reduce stress levels - go for a holiday. Some sunny place. 7. Reduce the amount of processed foods - Eat healthier and organic. Try to eat small amount of foods. 8. Treat Acid Reflux - avoid foods which induce reflux 9. Check thyroid and magnesium 10. Try some magnesium supplements - Eat leafy vegetables
I am so relieved to find a doctor that makes me feel like I'm not crazy about reflux and palpitations. How can you relax and not worry after a palpitation??????? It is so hard to not worry, but at least there is a doctor that addresses how difficult he knows it is to just ignore it. Thanks so much for these videos, just having knowledge from a professional in the heart palpitation field is reassuring. I hope you continue to make more of these. I newly suffer from heart palpitations and went to the emergency room, they said its no big deal, but did not think they are related to the reflux or vegas nerve??????? I know my body and I know they are related, so thanks for validating my feelings doctor! How great is it for you to reach out to the world of people suffering, not just to your paying patients, GOD bless ;)
Donna McCausland This Dr.is heaven sent, its good for someone not to treat us like we are crazy or losing our sense's when we try to explain what we are feeling
I realize these videos are several years old but they helped me overcome almost debilitating anxiety over my benign heart palpitations. I don't know if the anxiety came first or the palpitations but either way it developed into a vicious cycle. I started having major and frequent panic attacks. Eventually, i was put on the correct medication for me and the panic attacks stopped. I still have palpitations but I don't focus on them anymore. I take a magnesium supplement called SlowMg that really does help. I gave up alcohol which helped the palpitations AND the anxiety. I do smoke and need to stop but I am very thankful for these videos. They helped me to accept that what i was experiencing was NOT going to kill me. I wasted a decade living in fear. Thank you Dr. Gupta for caring enough to make these videos. It really shows a level of compassion and empathy that people who experience these symptoms really need from doctors. THANK YOU AGAIN!
I have had atrial fibrillation for 6 years now. The palpitations got worse in the last 4 months after I had 2 cancer operations. However after watching your videos and listening especially this one, I feel much much better. Loads of thanks from Japan.
I have never felt so much better in years without meds just by watching this very informative video, it makes my life less stressful. Thanks Doc for making a lot of us life less difficult. I was considering many of the things you've mentioned here to be a major contributor of my experiences with palpitations. I have learnt alot and you're video will certainly helps me to cope better on a daily basis, so many times I thought it might be my last breathe but your cool video has a calming effect on me so I am able to face my days happy and bubbly. I wish you God's guidance and STRENGTH Doc.
I have been recently diagnosed with High blood pressure, been put on meds, and today I had an episode where my heart started racing, and my BP skyrocketed, I rushed to the ER and have been diagnosed with palpitations. You don't know how I wish you were closer to have a consult with you, I have appreciated your videos since I discovered them a few days ago, you put my mind at ease. Thank you so much!
so basically it about having a healthy mindset and lifestyle instead of worrying everytime u have a palpitation .Eventhough its gonna happen forever but continue to ignore it and live positively .I pray to god that each of us that going through this get to live a long life 🙏
Man, if I could hug you through this phone, I would. Ive been changing my lifestyle tremendously and it’s helped tons. Your video on the gastro connection was the catalyst. Thank you, friend.
Thank you so much - I wish there were more doctors like you! I'm very very athletic and developed arrhythmia (PVCs, occasional Tachycardia, some Flutter) about 11 years ago. Had an Echo, holter etc. and all was fine and diagnosed benign arrhythmias. It took 5 years after this for a doc to finally take my extremely low ferritin levels seriously (hemoglobin and RBC were fine) and put me on iron supplementation! This really helped. In addition, I take magnesium (I did this on my own after researching it a bit....my doctor knew nothing about it) and I quit ALL caffeine. I rarely get PVCs and never get tachycardia anymore. I do get the occasional flutter but I try not to worry about it. You are helping so many people :)
I went last year for palpitations and the doctors didn't find anything. But now, I am feeling like I probably should go back because they have been really bothering me this whole week. Not wanting to go out and stay in my bed because of the fear of falling or fainting "dropping dead" at work. I am truly happy I found you, you bring ease to me doctor.
It’s not just the food industry , it’s people in your line of work Sir, that are not as honourable as yourself.....Doctors prescribing Statins, antibiotics, blood pressure pills etc!!!!! Thanks for the informative video Sir. 😇❤️👍
Hello, I watch all your videos, I been experiencing palpitations for a few months that scared me so much it built up anxiety, and trembling. Along my research I found you, and Thank God, I really appreciate all the knowledge you provided and reassuring me, if I can’t sleep or If I feel worried I come to your videos for re assurance and to talk me to sleep. I can’t thank you enough for the information you provide to all of us, I’m very grateful. I love to talk to you one day! My doctor knows you as well, I mentioned you to him. You’re the best!! Brandy
Samee, I have cardiophobia which makes it worse!! Heartbeat on the back of the head,Heart pounding on chest, Heartbeat sensations on my fingertips/hands,slight trembling or shaky hands etc,, its so bad!!/I have this for 1 month now and it only happens when I feel stressed or anxious. But Its MUCH more worse when laying down, especially before going to sleep!!
You're an angel sent from heaven...i was experiencing palpitation and was lil worried and prayed and then as I open my RUclips to see a tip for palpitation and you popped up...and I just felt so much better and I thank God for introducing you...stay blessed
Glad you are discussing ectopic beats. I have them constantly, accompanied with brutal brutal symptoms of "hunger" sensations (not hungry, not appetite), dizzy, lightheaded, weak legs, cold sweats, disorientations. A holter once showed 192 ectopic beats in on hour, othertimes, at random, less. The symptoms are brutal and scary, not the ectopic beats. I had a fasting serum glucose test (normal) but then again, tests for diabetes are unreliable. Had hormones tested, they were normal. Hypothyroid tests fluctuate, and antibodies for Hashimoto was slightly elevated, thereafter normal. Again, those tests are unreliable. Input welcome. Many thanks.
was having palpitations all day today, searched on youtube and came across your videos. thank you dr, proud that you are indian and have a good helpful nature to help humanity. love and respect fron pune india.
Mine started when I had a bad argument with somebody and I been having them on and off since then it sucks.. it's like my body doesnt handle stress anymore I'm too young I'm 33 smh
This video is perfect for me today. For a couple of days, my heart has been jumping all over the place and I haven't been sleeping well. This is only the second time it's happened and because of your prior videos, I didn't panic but it is still scary! I'm pretty sure stress is the culprit caused by this isolation, and coupled with unresolved issues and a lack of activity. Life is not normal right now and we are not normal. You're the good doctor and the grown up in the room so thanks for being that reassurance right now! Please stay safe and don't neglect yourself!
Thank you so much for explaining this. I am a 38 y/o Firefighter Paramedic in California, long time athlete. Like a light switch, I started experiencing bad PVC's, 1-5 every minute. Your explanation is the best and most re-assuring I have heard thus far. You are right, it IS infuriating to hear ectopic beats are benign and ablation is not necessary. I am going through the process now, holter monitor, echo, ECG etc. Labs came back normal - so maybe some electrical aberrant pathway. But this has been so helpful for me. Thank you for your compassion and calm demeanor. Wonderfully helpful.
Hi Chris, I was wondering if you've had any resolution with your PVC's and what has helped? I'm experiencing the same thing and its been a few months now. At times I have 5 or more a minute. Any feedback is helpful
Very glad to come across this video. This started happening back in June. Suddenly my pulse was 136-140 and would last that way like 3 hours. I started having chest pain & palpitations. This obviously led to anxiety! This lasted June 27 until the end of August. Labs & EKG fine. Very scary. People didn't listen when i explain THIS is causing anxiety - not anxiety causing the palpitations. I'm embarrassed that I've had 3 ER visits and 2 regular Dr visits. I have a cardiology appt scheduled next month. Don't drink, don't smoke, no drugs, & cut back coffee & soda even. It's hard to wait. Taking magnesium really seemed to help because it's helped control my pulse even when I do have the pain & palpitations. Thanks for making a video to reassure people. :) :) :)
I come back to watch this video over and over. My palpitations stop during this time. The reassurance is very therapeutic for me. I wish I had this wonderful man as my cardiologist. ❤❤❤❤
I'm very sorry. I too have them. Today I've had more than ever. They were never back to back for hours before. Glad you found him. He reassured me too.
Tip number 11 : just watch your videos on ectopics and listen to your voice. The tip that works the best for me. Thank you so much for your help doctor . You're my sympatholytic drugs! :D
Doctor Gupta, I have never had palpitations in my life, I started getting them 2-3 months ago and followed your suggestions. Thank you so much, I saw differences right away. I was palpitation free until a few days ago when they came back. In my case I think the food and stress levels are the major contributors. They started getting better again. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video. Please join me for live free chats on my Facebook page (type yorkcardiology@gmail.com in Facebook search) - I will be able to answer your questions there
Thank you Dr. Gupta. These ectopic beats have been driving me crazy! I tried your exercize and it worked. I cant believe i found a cardiologist caring enough to explain this !
I really enjoy these vdeos. I started having heart palpitations a few years ago and chalked it up to menopause and being overweight. I ended up going to the ER one night after being awakened with an irregular heartbeat. They kept me for a day and ran an Ekg< echocardiogram and blood work to check thyroid and other levels> i was given blood pressure meds and told to follow up with a cardiologist (which is scheduled for next month)> It took 8 hours for my heart to return to normal. IHAVE ALTERED MY DIET< EXERCISED MORE AND FOLLOWED THE OTHER SUGGESTIONS> MY PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH SLEEPING> WHEN I LIE DOWN< I AM USUALLY AWAKENED WITH PALPITATIONS AND I AM BECOMING NERVOUS ABOUT LYING DOWN> I FREQUENTLY SLEEP SITTING UP< WHICH LEADS TO OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS LACK OF SLEEP AND NECK AND BACK PAINS> I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR WAYS TO AVOID PALPITATIONS AT NIGHT>
YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT DOCTOR!! ♥️ I had cardiac symptoms, and they performed catherization on me. I ended up with an aneurism from the procedure which found NOTHING because all I needed was iron to bring up my below normal ferritin and iron saturation. I wish I could of had you because it would have saved me a lot of trauma and permanent damage.
I am 34 yrs old and have always been in good health, but a few years ago I started having gallbladder attacks and eventually had to have it removed as an emergency, after that about 8 months later I had to have a hernia in my stomach repaired and since all that I've been having heart palpitations and had tons of test and they keep telling me nothing is wrong. I know what I'm having is not normal and want to thank you so much for your videos.
You are a Godsend to many people, we thank you for your time and knowledge. When I watch your videos I generally hear 2-5 things that I truly doubt my cardiologist knows, or would care to even consider. As someone who just started getting these, it really took me off my game, but am hoping by following your tips I see an improvement. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. Went to the ER two days ago for palpitations and your number one tip (to simply not worry about it) was one of the most comforting tips I've ever heard. The anxiety and panic palpitations can cause -- especially if they're new to you -- is overlooked, as I've now experienced it myself. The simple fact of acknowledging that your heart is racing for apparently no reason is enough to propel you into a state of panic and fear, which of course, compounds the issue. Some background; I'm a fit and very physically active 30 year old whose palpitations started after switching to a ketogenic diet. I stupidly left out a lot of leafy greens and didn't happen to be eating enough magnesium-rich foods and it caught up with me. I'm now supplementing with magnesium and palpitations have declined dramatically. Occasionally I still have a bit of shortness of breath from time to time but I can manage that if I don't worry about it too much and bring myself into a state of panic.
I just want to say thank you and God bless you. After hearing your first tip I started crying( becuase of relief) and I couldn't stop. Actualy I'm still crying because I finally felt safe and reassured.
THANK YOUU DOC! you are a life saver. Im a post stroke patient and now am suffering from episodes of pulpitationa. It elevates my bp and i cry over over it. Thank you so much. Ill always listen to your poat. More power doc! Bless you always 🙌
Oh my gosh, I’m so glad I have heard this now, I have been to the cardiologist and ER and nothing, but my palpitations kept going and caused me major panic and so the cycle began
Thank You Dr., I have high blood pressure, Thyroid, and now at 70 , my Dr. Has me on 3 meds for that. I'm not over weight. And now Cholesterol med too. I had Palpitations when I started these meds , only once in a while. I don't sleep well either since my husband passed away almost 5 years ago.
Thank you for your compassion and knowledge for us who suffer with palpitations. These are such helpful tips! Unless you have truly experienced what this feels like you can't understand. It means so much for a physician to really get it. Thanks again.
Ive got palpitations very often. Doctors told me i will get stroke. Im so worried. After listening to you every now and then. I feel so happy and relax. I only trust you Dr. Gupta. You are truly amazing. You are an Angel. Love you.
WOW this is amazing. My daughter just went to a cardiologist because of her palpitations (after I told her it was probably her nervous system or her stomach since she has some anxiety and some stomach issues) and of course, he told her that it was not her heart BUT never gave her any of this information. THANK YOU SO MUCH I am sharing this with her!!!
Not only is this a highly competent and intelligent doctor; he has excellent communication ability in explaining complex medical concepts to patients ! These videos are highly valuable for those with heart related conditions
You are such a wonderful soul Sanjay .. So much of patience and wisdom ... I wish all doctors treat their patients with the same comfort . During this Coronavirus pandemic i am feeling so anxious..watching you is such a relief.. Lots of best wishes from Australia
I have palpitations occasionally but I notice that they happen when I eat certain types of food...mainly oily carbohydrates. Thanks for your tips. they cleared up many of my concerns.
Your videos are unbelievably reassuring. Your understanding of our fears of dropping dead, or dying in my sleep in my case, brought me to tears. I need to put these vids on loop.
God Bless you sir. I have been suffering mental anguish for almost 10 years now because of the palps, and these palps have been an albatross that have ruined my quality of life for a decade. It has turned me into a basket case. I constantly wait for the next round and constantly obsess over it. It is just awful. Your videos have brought me comfort. Thank you for this selfless act, it is so greatly appreciated. I haven't really found yet your description of my heart palps. I do have GERD and when I have my palps it feels more like flutters in my lower chest, or as if my heart is rolling in my chest. It's hard to explain. I also have a strong desire to cough when these palps occur. My heart flutters then my fear kicks in which causes my heart rate to increase. I'm able to calm myself relatively quickly and then my heartbeat goes back to normal. I'm really hoping to find this explanation. I've watched your videos where you describe the different kinds of palps and really didn't find anything that I felt fit my scenario.
I go through this same thing for decades also ER Drs. Don't help you, and along with the acid reflux or gerd its just a bad thing to suffer, some times you can feel weak for days
Please help me,I was Diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia and pvcs I was on rythemols my heart doctor stopped them after I went to Birmingham Alabama to a heart doctor.I was enjoying a day with family and suddenly i will blackout to where I can't see and my heart rate went in to 179 BP went up high .

U'r top 10 tip is my medicine,most specialy tip # 1. Ev'ry time i have palpitation i watch ur video and my palpitation is gone. Ur tip and voice is like a voice of god. Thank you so much. God bless!
Thank you so much for all your videos. I've been dealing with palpitations for 7 years after going for various scans and tests i was told my heart was normal and not to worry. After that i was still living with them and was told it was down to stress in my life, although i knew the stress was coming from the palpitations! You've taught me how to manage and deal with them and I've been feeling so much better these past months. I now only experience the odd faint skipped beat from time to time, whereas before they tended to be quite strong like a heavy thud. Exercise, eating alot healthier and taking magnesium supplements are definitely helping me. :-) Much love.
There is also a procedure called the ablation surgery for palpitations check it out a lot of people do it just gotta make sure your insurance covers it
I am 85 years old only. Never drinks, no smoking and morning with light exercise too though, I fill sometime vibrates in my heart, but after hearing the words from Dr. Gupta, I got some consolation. Let me see what happens!! रामजी भला करे !
Hello sir! I'm a 20 years old male from Nepal. I had been having abnormally fast heartbeats for a couple of months especially before I intended to sleep and while I was physically inactive. I completely ignored it assuming that it was not a big issue. But last night, I felt very uncomfortable as my heartbeats were too fast and loud. Due to this, I felt short of breath and nausea also. I guessed it was a symptom of heart attack. Then, I began to search on RUclips about the symptoms of heart attack. After watching few other videos, I saw your videos as well, which I found very helpful, relatable and complete. After watching your all videos carefully, I came to know what I had were palpitations. Keeping this in mind, I went to a nearby hospital this morning. The doctor checked my BP and had an Electrocardiogram(ECG) test. All reports were normal. He told me that the cause of my problem is stress and suggested me not to have it. But I'm still not satisfied by his answer. It's true that I've been in a stressful situation for a few months, I've been having a lot of caffines, I've been having an unhealthy lifestyle as I was unaware of the degree of seriousness of my health issues. After knowing about it, I'm really committed to live a healthy lifestyle onwards. I'm prepared to avoid all the possible causes of such problems. But the most important help I need is to know whether I should completely rely on my future lifestyle to be completely healthy, or I need to take any medicines now also? According to my doctor and test reports, I'm normal. According to my problem and your videos, I have palpitations. What should I do in this dilemma?? Please help me out sir.
I've done an ecg doc but my doc said there's no problem with the heart. Listening to u doc I'm going to stop worrying. I don't drink at all. I'm on hiv aids medication. Thanks for the information doc.
You are certainly a Godsend! It's so good to know you believe there is a God. May our good Lord bless you even more. You are a an extremely generous and good hearted Professional.
Wow, you're really a compassionate doctor. You're a child of God...My heart is normal, 2decho is.normal, my bp, my sugar etc all.normal but my cardiologist.said, i need to undergo a procedure called cardiac ablation and its expensive. Praise God.i found.this video. GOD bless you even more🙏🙏🙏
Wow, thank you - You're so welcome! I really appreciate your support - it would mean a tonne if you'd consider subscribing to the channel Tess. Best wishes Sanjay
Thank you so much doctor, I'm 43 and have 2 kids, thank you to showing me right way, i got pulpitations after monthly periods, and every time I pray to god that please i don't want to die now, because of my 2 kids. But you explained it very nicely, thank you so much, god bless you always.
thank you Doctor i was recently having alot of palpitations and did exercises specifically before going to bed... and it drastically change my health and energy. now i know why. thanks so much
I like how you Give Your Information Very Gently & with Care...thank you..I just started having Palpitations in the last Week...I see 4 things I need To Work on #1 being My Stress level...Thank you again Dr..
I am nothing but thankful to you for narrowing down some tips about heart palpitations that has done nothing but soothe my mind knowing that it wouldnt be dangerous or life-threatening, I have only recently encountered my heart palpitations accompanied by shortness of breath or shallow breathing in my case, I have also come across GERD with these said diseases but in the meantime I have found your channel and I have not hesitated to subscribe at all. Your videos helped me calm down from anxiety from fear of a heart disease and I thank you so much for that.
This really put my mind at ease. Recently, my palpitations made a big comeback when I started working outside in the heat again. My doctor said exactly what you did when my ekg came back normal. She said unless there is a lot of pain with them, or they make me faint, don't worry about it. I still had some anxiety about it though and this helped me a lot. I haven't had them this bad since I was 16

Thank so much young man. I am watching you in SL with Bradycardia ... I totally agree with you re not to worry. I know my heart is fine and need to reset it. I am a daily meditator .. Going through few emotional stuff and I am doing a major mental clean up... Take good care yourself and you are doing a great service globally ..
I had palpatations for 2 years. Tests revealed nothing. Palpitations got worse after being sick with covid19. I started taking magnesium, potassium and iron. I no longer have the palpations.
@@KameaAloha75 magnesium malate daily, and Natural Vitality Calmful Sleep magnesium glycinate with magnesium carbonate for sleep and palpitations. I also take vit D3 regularly since Covid19. I hope you feel better soon.
V Q Thank you so much for replying back. I hope you will feel back to normal soon too. I am a survivor of Covid too. My symptoms were loss of taste and smell and sinus congestion. My husband had it worse. He had all the classic symptoms. Nothing like mines. Strange how this virus affects people differently in different ways. I hope you get back to normal soon as well.
I wish I had known about your videos before I had a heart cath and a loop recorder placed in my chest! Every test for my heart said there was nothing wrong with it, but because I was having palpitations my doctor recommended these tests. I hope I can get the loop recorder removed soon but they said the battery lasts for 3 years so I have one more year to go! You have made me feel so much better about all this. I recently had an attack of Afib and went to the hospital. They spent 2 days running every test in the book and found nothing wrong! I'm through with worrying about my heart! Thank you very much!
Another simply fantastic video! It is absolutely amazing how much patience and concern you have. Just the relief these videos provide is worthy of a Nobel Prize. On the other hand you do make all the doctors I have seen to date here in the US, including "top" ones in the NY area, seem quite useless. 😊
Thank you Dr Gupta. A very kind, thoughtful and generous video. I suppose the problems often come at times of stress. When you can’t sleep and when you enter viscious cycles of fatigue driving adrenaline and cortisol driving palpitations and driving bad sleep. I appreciate the holiday comment, but when stress is unavoidable: sick kids, covid lockdowns etc. Please keep up the good work. You’re saving lives.
You mentioned reflux. It only took me about 25 years to work out that my morning porridge (oats) was a major heartburn trigger for me. It became most apparent during my second pregnancy when the heartburn was so bad after eating porridge that I had to stop eating it for the rest of the pregnancy. And then after I gave birth I was out of the habit of eating porridge. When I started doing it again, or eating biscuits with oats in them, I realised that I had not been getting heartburn that much anymore and suddenly there it was again after eating oats. Of course other things give me heartburn too but the thing that has helped the most was starting a low carb / keto diet. You tend to avoid grains (including oats) on this diet. I eat a lot of dairy, cheese, milk yoghurt, but they don't give me heartburn at all. When I eat grain carbohydrates, rye, wheat, oats, and possibly in combination with dairy (milk in porridge, cheese on toast, etc) then I would get heartburn. But I also drink goat's milk rather than cow's milk, and I find it's much easier to digest too. But OATS! They were my number one daily heartburn trigger!
Thanks again so much Dr Gupta. You and my doctor helped me so much, and I’m so grateful. I’m going back on magnesium now as I’m beginning to get them again off and on, but it’s mostly following bouts of anxiety. Even if the anxiety was quite a bit earlier I still get them later on sometimes. However, most days I have either 1 or no ectopic. I’ve been going on forest walks about every second day and I think it’s really helping. I only ever once got an ectopic beat in the forest, and it was while I was standing still, not exercising. If anyone wants to talk about their ectopic beats, feel free to reach out to me as I know how it feels.
Wonderful suggestions, thanks so much! You really "get it", and all of us suffering with palpitations of various kinds are extremely grateful for your information!
this is so reassuring, i have some on and off palpitation i remember exactly when it started, about 2nd week of the pandemic and we started wearing mask and everytime I go home i felt a random flutter in my heart, I ignored it but kept observing it especially if I am tired and stressed and so paranoid about it, I bought BP machine and my BP and pulse rate is normal, until 3 days ago I went to the Dr and ordered ECG and thyroid test, which gladly came up all normal praise God. Of course still worried about it as what you've said ..am I dying or scared of having a stroke. But came from you as a specialist I felt better now. I have to manage my worries and fears, since I am not overweight and I watch my foo as much as possible, only thing is I dont exercise, perhaps thats one thing I need to do. Thank you very much
@@leona5508 Hi I am doing well and I just shove it off and continue to function normally and I never noticed it as often maybe once a week or nothing at all, perhaps worrying aggravates it we may need to calm and relax from our daily life. Leave the things we can't control and be happy
You are a God sent. I have learnt a lot from you. I spend thousands on a cardiologist consultant and test and though he is a cool doctor I still don't understand what is happening with me. Just that my heart rate is high elevated blood pressure and ANEIXTY worst if I'm going to see you doctors. Watching your video I've learnt a lot
Hello sir !I'm from india and have been having this almost a year and 4+ docs I consulted just said I am imagining things and told me it's nothing . I was feeling helpless and depressed . I feel a strong beating sense in my chest , stomach , ear, fingertips ALWAYS . It feels really good that you care about us ! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO , YOU ARE SO AWESOME . America should be blessed to have you 🙏
Dr. Gupta, you are a super person. Thank you for being so human, you are a blessing to those that are very nervous and anxious . Thank you God bless you
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge I wish you were my doctor. Recently I’ve been dealing with so much of this and it’s quite scary but now I’ve learned so much listening to your video thank you so much from Houston Texas.
Thank you for mentioning sleep apnea. My sleep doctor said there is not just an Epidemic, but a Pandemic of this condition emerging. When people stop breathing, their body shoots out stress chemicals (adrenaline, cortisol) which are very stressful on the heart and body. For people who cannot get sleep testing or CPAP, the worst position for a floppy airway is 'on the back'. Try 'side sleeping' to reduce apnea events.
this gentleman should get a trophy for his videos. he is so compassionate to share with us his knowledge . I pray the universe blesses him and his family beyond measure.
awww thank you Robert
robert trottier I agree! I just found him a couple days ago on RUclips. It's difficult for an educated person to explain things to people like us ☺️ Let's just say we're educated in different areas but not heart health. I understand everything he explains and he is happy to educate people. Something I, personally, haven't seen in a medical doctor before.
robert trottier I pray GOD blesses him
I also agree. November 2019. I sure wish American doctors would take the time to talk. Instead, they go have another patient
Damn, blessings? What about all the other doctors who selflessly treat patients you will never know about! Bigger blessings.
Your parents raised a wonderful son .
From the video:
1. Stop worrying about your palpitations if you have been checked out by a cardiologist and your palps were found to be benign. They are not dangerous, only inconvenient. Worrying and having anxiety about them only makes them come more frequently.
2. Cut out excessive alcohol, particularly binge drinking. Also, the sulfites in wine contribute to more palpitations.
2a. Cut out caffeine, carbonated drinks, and energy drinks as they increase palpitations.
3. Stop smoking. Smoking induces chronic inflammation in the body which increases palps.
4. Start doing gentle exercise. If your palps are benign (see tip #1), don't worry about doing some exercise, it will be fine. Start with 10 mins of walking per day and build up from there. Exercise reduces inflammation which in turn reduces palps.
5. Get good sleep and enough of it. Lack of sleep has a huge inflammatory effect on the body which increases palps.
6. Reduce your stress levels. Stress is inflammatory. If possible, take time off work and take a vacation to someplace sunny and relax.
7. Reduce or stop eating processed foods. They are pro-inflammatory and the processing of the food strips their vitamins and minerals while also adding in toxins, chemicals, and preservatives. Try to primarily eat organic whole foods. Organic means the food has not been sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc., which are all poisonous to eat. Washing produce does not remove much of these poisons. Organic also inherently means non-GMO.
7a. Eat smaller portions. Large meals stretch the stomach which can worsen palpitations.
8. If you have acid reflux, get it treated. Reflux is generally caused by LOW stomach acid, not high. So antacids and PPI's will only make the problem worse. Avoid eating foods that you know give you reflux. For many people this would be things like dairy and chocolate.
9. Get your iron levels checked. Iron deficiency anemia can cause palps. Get your thyroid tested. Get your magnesium levels tested. Magnesium deficiency is most commonly caused by eating a diet high in processed foods.
10. Supplement with magnesium. The best way is to eat leafy vegetables. But if you must take a magnesium supplement, use any form except magnesium oxide because it's bioavailability is very low.
Thanks for this. You've summed his talk up nicely.
thank you for the transcript!
Thanks. My doctor prescribed me antacids for my acid reflux....its only been one day but i dont think its going to help for the rest either :/
@@privatewars5039, antacids and PPI’s are the worst thing to take for acid reflux. They will ruin your digestion.
@تلاوة القران - Alafasy chocolate has caffeine which is bad for palpitations.
2:20 nothing bad is gonna happen to you.. you will not drop dead, you will not have a heart attack...
I wanna replay this over and over.. thank you so much Dr. Gupta.
Flat out truth!
You left out "drop DOWN dead"!
Same here!
Yes yes yes , he s a son of God
Very reassuring words by God's grace
Nice Tips.
1. Stop worrying
2. Cut excessive alcohol
3. Stop smoking
4. Start doing some gentle exercise - gentle 10 minutes walk
5. Pay some attention to your sleep levels - good sleep hygiene. Sleep well
6. Try to reduce stress levels - go for a holiday. Some sunny place.
7. Reduce the amount of processed foods - Eat healthier and organic. Try to eat small amount of foods.
8. Treat Acid Reflux - avoid foods which induce reflux
9. Check thyroid and magnesium
10. Try some magnesium supplements - Eat leafy vegetables
Wow...well put together
Add cut out excessive Caffeine to #2.
The most compassionate doctor ever!
2:28 They are not dangerous..
3:07 Stop binge Drinking... and excessive caffeine drinking
9:22 eat smaller amount of food
I'm a minor i didn't drink nor smoke and having this heart palpitations
I am so relieved to find a doctor that makes me feel like I'm not crazy about reflux and palpitations. How can you relax and not worry after a palpitation??????? It is so hard to not worry, but at least there is a doctor that addresses how difficult he knows it is to just ignore it. Thanks so much for these videos, just having knowledge from a professional in the heart palpitation field is reassuring. I hope you continue to make more of these. I newly suffer from heart palpitations and went to the emergency room, they said its no big deal, but did not think they are related to the reflux or vegas nerve??????? I know my body and I know they are related, so thanks for validating my feelings doctor! How great is it for you to reach out to the world of people suffering, not just to your paying patients, GOD bless ;)
+Donna McCausland thanks donna for these kind words:-)
Donna McCausland
This Dr.is heaven sent, its good for someone not to treat us like we are crazy or losing our sense's when we try to explain what we are feeling
How are you? I have these reflux and palpitations
Donna McCausland Ditto
I bet you have type A blood?
I realize these videos are several years old but they helped me overcome almost debilitating anxiety over my benign heart palpitations. I don't know if the anxiety came first or the palpitations but either way it developed into a vicious cycle. I started having major and frequent panic attacks. Eventually, i was put on the correct medication for me and the panic attacks stopped. I still have palpitations but I don't focus on them anymore. I take a magnesium supplement called SlowMg that really does help. I gave up alcohol which helped the palpitations AND the anxiety. I do smoke and need to stop but I am very thankful for these videos. They helped me to accept that what i was experiencing was NOT going to kill me. I wasted a decade living in fear. Thank you Dr. Gupta for caring enough to make these videos. It really shows a level of compassion and empathy that people who experience these symptoms really need from doctors. THANK YOU AGAIN!
This is so helpful! Thank you very much. Who else found this helpful?
Me
The first time I've heard a health professional link poor food to poor health. At last!!! Thank you for such wonderful videos. Much appreciated.
I have had atrial fibrillation for 6 years now. The palpitations got worse in the last 4 months after I had 2 cancer operations. However after watching your videos and listening especially this one, I feel much much better. Loads of thanks from Japan.
I have never felt so much better in years without meds just by watching this very informative video, it makes my life less stressful. Thanks Doc for making a lot of us life less difficult. I was considering many of the things you've mentioned here to be a major contributor of my experiences with palpitations. I have learnt alot and you're video will certainly helps me to cope better on a daily basis, so many times I thought it might be my last breathe but your cool video has a calming effect on me so I am able to face my days happy and bubbly. I wish you God's guidance and STRENGTH Doc.
I have been recently diagnosed with High blood pressure, been put on meds, and today I had an episode where my heart started racing, and my BP skyrocketed, I rushed to the ER and have been diagnosed with palpitations. You don't know how I wish you were closer to have a consult with you, I have appreciated your videos since I discovered them a few days ago, you put my mind at ease. Thank you so much!
U shud try Austin Goh ,breathing exercise for racing heart , for calming down instantly
so basically it about having a healthy mindset and lifestyle instead of worrying everytime u have a palpitation .Eventhough its gonna happen forever but continue to ignore it and live positively .I pray to god that each of us that going through this get to live a long life 🙏
Amen

Man, if I could hug you through this phone, I would. Ive been changing my lifestyle tremendously and it’s helped tons. Your video on the gastro connection was the catalyst. Thank you, friend.
A Walk In The Mind of M. T. Wood find relief?
Is this a book?
Thank you so much - I wish there were more doctors like you! I'm very very athletic and developed arrhythmia (PVCs, occasional Tachycardia, some Flutter) about 11 years ago. Had an Echo, holter etc. and all was fine and diagnosed benign arrhythmias. It took 5 years after this for a doc to finally take my extremely low ferritin levels seriously (hemoglobin and RBC were fine) and put me on iron supplementation! This really helped. In addition, I take magnesium (I did this on my own after researching it a bit....my doctor knew nothing about it) and I quit ALL caffeine. I rarely get PVCs and never get tachycardia anymore. I do get the occasional flutter but I try not to worry about it. You are helping so many people :)
How are you now?
What kind of magnesium do you take?
I take Magnesium L-threonate. Can be pricey but what my DO recommended.
I went last year for palpitations and the doctors didn't find anything. But now, I am feeling like I probably should go back because they have been really bothering me this whole week. Not wanting to go out and stay in my bed because of the fear of falling or fainting "dropping dead" at work. I am truly happy I found you, you bring ease to me doctor.
It’s not just the food industry , it’s people in your line of work Sir, that are not as honourable as yourself.....Doctors prescribing Statins, antibiotics, blood pressure pills etc!!!!!
Thanks for the informative video Sir.
😇❤️👍
You just save me from anxiety and panic attack
Be blessed. Doctor. Am from the Philippines. Much thanks
Hello, I watch all your videos, I been experiencing palpitations for a few months that scared me so much it built up anxiety, and trembling. Along my research I found you, and Thank God, I really appreciate all the knowledge you provided and reassuring me, if I can’t sleep or If I feel worried I come to your videos for re assurance and to talk me to sleep. I can’t thank you enough for the information you provide to all of us, I’m very grateful. I love to talk to you one day! My doctor knows you as well, I mentioned you to him.
You’re the best!!
Brandy
Same for me. I have anxiety really bad
Samee, I have cardiophobia which makes it worse!! Heartbeat on the back of the head,Heart pounding on chest, Heartbeat sensations on my fingertips/hands,slight trembling or shaky hands etc,, its so bad!!/I have this for 1 month now and it only happens when I feel stressed or anxious. But Its MUCH more worse when laying down, especially before going to sleep!!
Hi are u well now .... Does the problem faded or not?? Having these and felling anxious
You're an angel sent from heaven...i was experiencing palpitation and was lil worried and prayed and then as I open my RUclips to see a tip for palpitation and you popped up...and I just felt so much better and I thank God for introducing you...stay blessed
Glad you are discussing ectopic beats. I have them constantly, accompanied with brutal brutal symptoms of "hunger" sensations (not hungry, not appetite), dizzy, lightheaded, weak legs, cold sweats, disorientations. A holter once showed 192 ectopic beats in on hour, othertimes, at random, less. The symptoms are brutal and scary, not the ectopic beats. I had a fasting serum glucose test (normal) but then again, tests for diabetes are unreliable. Had hormones tested, they were normal. Hypothyroid tests fluctuate, and antibodies for Hashimoto was slightly elevated, thereafter normal. Again, those tests are unreliable. Input welcome. Many thanks.
Thank you doctor shame not many doctors are like you take time and patiently very effectively thank you again !
was having palpitations all day today, searched on youtube and came across your videos. thank you dr, proud that you are indian and have a good helpful nature to help humanity. love and respect fron pune india.
thank you so much...very kind words!
Just wondering how are you now
@@Kidtheung i want to know too
stress, family troubles & alcohol combo induces palpitations, u r right about that.
palpitate in my heart beggin when i drunked
Mine started when I had a bad argument with somebody and I been having them on and off since then it sucks.. it's like my body doesnt handle stress anymore I'm too young I'm 33 smh
This video is perfect for me today. For a couple of days, my heart has been jumping all over the place and I haven't been sleeping well. This is only the second time it's happened and because of your prior videos, I didn't panic but it is still scary! I'm pretty sure stress is the culprit caused by this isolation, and coupled with unresolved issues and a lack of activity. Life is not normal right now and we are not normal. You're the good doctor and the grown up in the room so thanks for being that reassurance right now! Please stay safe and don't neglect yourself!
Thank you so much for explaining this. I am a 38 y/o Firefighter Paramedic in California, long time athlete. Like a light switch, I started experiencing bad PVC's, 1-5 every minute. Your explanation is the best and most re-assuring I have heard thus far. You are right, it IS infuriating to hear ectopic beats are benign and ablation is not necessary. I am going through the process now, holter monitor, echo, ECG etc. Labs came back normal - so maybe some electrical aberrant pathway. But this has been so helpful for me. Thank you for your compassion and calm demeanor. Wonderfully helpful.
Hi Chris, I was wondering if you've had any resolution with your PVC's and what has helped? I'm experiencing the same thing and its been a few months now. At times I have 5 or more a minute. Any feedback is helpful

Wow what did I just watch! Someone give this guy a medal he’s amazing he’s so correct he made me laugh at times! Amazing Video thanks so much
Very glad to come across this video. This started happening back in June. Suddenly my pulse was 136-140 and would last that way like 3 hours. I started having chest pain & palpitations. This obviously led to anxiety! This lasted June 27 until the end of August.
Labs & EKG fine. Very scary. People didn't listen when i explain THIS is causing anxiety - not anxiety causing the palpitations. I'm embarrassed that I've had 3 ER visits and 2 regular Dr visits. I have a cardiology appt scheduled next month. Don't drink, don't smoke, no drugs, & cut back coffee & soda even.
It's hard to wait. Taking magnesium really seemed to help because it's helped control my pulse even when I do have the pain & palpitations.
Thanks for making a video to reassure people. :) :) :)
thanks much Kristi!
I had palpitations after having covid19. They lasted up to six months and then went away. Take the magnesium.
@@joelleaittama1416 really magnesium help ??? I'm too having palpations early in the morning and lasts long day it only stops by taking beta blockers
I come back to watch this video over and over. My palpitations stop during this time. The reassurance is very therapeutic for me. I wish I had this wonderful man as my cardiologist. ❤❤❤❤
Thank god ive come across the video, im a 34 year old ex royal marine struggling for years with palpitations i feel like i could cry thank you.
I'm very sorry. I too have them. Today I've had more than ever. They were never back to back for hours before. Glad you found him. He reassured me too.
Tip number 11 : just watch your videos on ectopics and listen to your voice. The tip that works the best for me. Thank you so much for your help doctor . You're my sympatholytic drugs! :D
Doctor Gupta, I have never had palpitations in my life, I started getting them 2-3 months ago and followed your suggestions. Thank you so much, I saw differences right away. I was palpitation free until a few days ago when they came back. In my case I think the food and stress levels are the major contributors. They started getting better again. Thank you so much

Is Propranolol good for palpitations?
Thank you Dr. Gupta. These ectopic beats have been driving me crazy! I tried your exercize and it worked. I cant believe i found a cardiologist caring enough to explain this !
what is the excercise.
Yes what is the exercise
This man is an absolute blessing and understands that patients need reassurance when suffering palpitations and his empathy is amazing andso helpful
I really enjoy these vdeos. I started having heart palpitations a few years ago and chalked it up to menopause and being overweight. I ended up going to the ER one night after being awakened with an irregular heartbeat. They kept me for a day and ran an Ekg< echocardiogram and blood work to check thyroid and other levels> i was given blood pressure meds and told to follow up with a cardiologist (which is scheduled for next month)> It took 8 hours for my heart to return to normal. IHAVE ALTERED MY DIET< EXERCISED MORE AND FOLLOWED THE OTHER SUGGESTIONS> MY PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH SLEEPING> WHEN I LIE DOWN< I AM USUALLY AWAKENED WITH PALPITATIONS AND I AM BECOMING NERVOUS ABOUT LYING DOWN> I FREQUENTLY SLEEP SITTING UP< WHICH LEADS TO OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS LACK OF SLEEP AND NECK AND BACK PAINS> I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR WAYS TO AVOID PALPITATIONS AT NIGHT>
YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT DOCTOR!! ♥️
I had cardiac symptoms, and they performed catherization on me. I ended up with an aneurism from the procedure which found NOTHING because all I needed was iron to bring up my below normal ferritin and iron saturation. I wish I could of had you because it would have saved me a lot of trauma and permanent damage.
So sorry. Hope you’re well
I am 34 yrs old and have always been in good health, but a few years ago I started having gallbladder attacks and eventually had to have it removed as an emergency, after that about 8 months later I had to have a hernia in my stomach repaired and since all that I've been having heart palpitations and had tons of test and they keep telling me nothing is wrong. I know what I'm having is not normal and want to thank you so much for your videos.
How are you doing now ? Do you still have heart palpitations?
This guy is a genius. A brilliant and well spoken man.
You are a Godsend to many people, we thank you for your time and knowledge. When I watch your videos I generally hear 2-5 things that I truly doubt my cardiologist knows, or would care to even consider. As someone who just started getting these, it really took me off my game, but am hoping by following your tips I see an improvement. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. Went to the ER two days ago for palpitations and your number one tip (to simply not worry about it) was one of the most comforting tips I've ever heard. The anxiety and panic palpitations can cause -- especially if they're new to you -- is overlooked, as I've now experienced it myself. The simple fact of acknowledging that your heart is racing for apparently no reason is enough to propel you into a state of panic and fear, which of course, compounds the issue. Some background; I'm a fit and very physically active 30 year old whose palpitations started after switching to a ketogenic diet. I stupidly left out a lot of leafy greens and didn't happen to be eating enough magnesium-rich foods and it caught up with me. I'm now supplementing with magnesium and palpitations have declined dramatically. Occasionally I still have a bit of shortness of breath from time to time but I can manage that if I don't worry about it too much and bring myself into a state of panic.
Pii
There is also a procedure called the ablation surgery people also get that as well to stop palpitations look it up
You're shortness of breath probably comes from your lack of iron.
I just want to say thank you and God bless you. After hearing your first tip I started crying( becuase of relief) and I couldn't stop. Actualy I'm still crying because I finally felt safe and reassured.
THANK YOUU DOC! you are a life saver. Im a post stroke patient and now am suffering from episodes of pulpitationa. It elevates my bp and i cry over over it. Thank you so much. Ill always listen to your poat. More power doc! Bless you always 🙌
A nice Indian Doctor....God bless you.
thank u!
Oh my gosh, I’m so glad I have heard this now, I have been to the cardiologist and ER and nothing, but my palpitations kept going and caused me major panic and so the cycle began
Dr Sanjay Gupta you won our hearts by your first tip
May Allah bless you 💐
Thank You Dr., I have high blood pressure, Thyroid, and now at 70 , my Dr. Has me on 3 meds for that. I'm not over weight. And now Cholesterol med too. I had Palpitations when I started these meds , only once in a while. I don't sleep well either since my husband passed away almost 5 years ago.
Thank you for your compassion and knowledge for us who suffer with palpitations. These are such helpful tips! Unless you have truly experienced what this feels like you can't understand. It means so much for a physician to really get it. Thanks again.
Ive got palpitations very often. Doctors told me i will get stroke. Im so worried. After listening to you every now and then. I feel so happy and relax. I only trust you Dr. Gupta. You are truly amazing. You are an Angel. Love you.
WOW this is amazing. My daughter just went to a cardiologist because of her palpitations (after I told her it was probably her nervous system or her stomach since she has some anxiety and some stomach issues) and of course, he told her that it was not her heart BUT never gave her any of this information. THANK YOU SO MUCH I am sharing this with her!!!
Not only is this a highly competent and intelligent doctor; he has excellent communication ability in explaining complex medical concepts to patients ! These videos are highly valuable for those with heart related conditions
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS 😭 YOU ALWAYS HELP ME CONQUER THIS FEELING OF BEING ANXIOUS AND WORRYING ABOUT MY HEART PALPITATIONS
Best Doctors advice I have ever heard ..what a gentleman you are. Thank you
You are such a wonderful soul Sanjay .. So much of patience and wisdom ... I wish all doctors treat their patients with the same comfort . During this Coronavirus pandemic i am feeling so anxious..watching you is such a relief.. Lots of best wishes from Australia
This is much more better than sharing videos of gossips or running other ppl down. God bless you real good.
I have palpitations occasionally but I notice that they happen when I eat certain types of food...mainly oily carbohydrates. Thanks for your tips. they cleared up many of my concerns.
Your videos are unbelievably reassuring. Your understanding of our fears of dropping dead, or dying in my sleep in my case, brought me to tears. I need to put these vids on loop.
God Bless you sir. I have been suffering mental anguish for almost 10 years now because of the palps, and these palps have been an albatross that have ruined my quality of life for a decade. It has turned me into a basket case. I constantly wait for the next round and constantly obsess over it. It is just awful. Your videos have brought me comfort. Thank you for this selfless act, it is so greatly appreciated. I haven't really found yet your description of my heart palps. I do have GERD and when I have my palps it feels more like flutters in my lower chest, or as if my heart is rolling in my chest. It's hard to explain. I also have a strong desire to cough when these palps occur. My heart flutters then my fear kicks in which causes my heart rate to increase. I'm able to calm myself relatively quickly and then my heartbeat goes back to normal. I'm really hoping to find this explanation. I've watched your videos where you describe the different kinds of palps and really didn't find anything that I felt fit my scenario.
+The Punisher I think what you are describing is in keeping with ectopics or couplets..again harmless and nothing to be too worried about

Thank you so much for all your videos. I've been dealing with palpitations for 7 years after going for various scans and tests i was told my heart was normal and not to worry. After that i was still living with them and was told it was down to stress in my life, although i knew the stress was coming from the palpitations! You've taught me how to manage and deal with them and I've been feeling so much better these past months. I now only experience the odd faint skipped beat from time to time, whereas before they tended to be quite strong like a heavy thud. Exercise, eating alot healthier and taking magnesium supplements are definitely helping me. :-) Much love.
There is also a procedure called the ablation surgery for palpitations check it out a lot of people do it just gotta make sure your insurance covers it
I am 85 years old only. Never drinks, no smoking and morning with light exercise too though, I fill sometime vibrates in my heart, but after hearing the words from Dr. Gupta, I got some consolation. Let me see what happens!! रामजी भला करे !
Hello sir!
I'm a 20 years old male from Nepal. I had been having abnormally fast heartbeats for a couple of months especially before I intended to sleep and while I was physically inactive. I completely ignored it assuming that it was not a big issue. But last night, I felt very uncomfortable as my heartbeats were too fast and loud. Due to this, I felt short of breath and nausea also. I guessed it was a symptom of heart attack. Then, I began to search on RUclips about the symptoms of heart attack. After watching few other videos, I saw your videos as well, which I found very helpful, relatable and complete. After watching your all videos carefully, I came to know what I had were palpitations. Keeping this in mind, I went to a nearby hospital this morning. The doctor checked my BP and had an Electrocardiogram(ECG) test. All reports were normal. He told me that the cause of my problem is stress and suggested me not to have it.
But I'm still not satisfied by his answer. It's true that I've been in a stressful situation for a few months, I've been having a lot of caffines, I've been having an unhealthy lifestyle as I was unaware of the degree of seriousness of my health issues.
After knowing about it, I'm really committed to live a healthy lifestyle onwards. I'm prepared to avoid all the possible causes of such problems.
But the most important help I need is to know whether I should completely rely on my future lifestyle to be completely healthy, or I need to take any medicines now also? According to my doctor and test reports, I'm normal. According to my problem and your videos, I have palpitations. What should I do in this dilemma??
Please help me out sir.
I've done an ecg doc but my doc said there's no problem with the heart. Listening to u doc I'm going to stop worrying. I don't drink at all. I'm on hiv aids medication. Thanks for the information doc.
Thanks I’ll keep these in mind, I hate having heart palpitations
You are certainly a Godsend! It's so good to know you believe there is a God. May our good Lord bless you even more. You are a an extremely generous and good hearted Professional.
Just watching the his has put me at ease. Thank you so much!

Is Propranolol good for palpitations??
I am nothing but thankful to you for narrowing down some tips about heart palpitations that has done nothing but soothe my mind knowing that it wouldnt be dangerous or life-threatening, I have only recently encountered my heart palpitations accompanied by shortness of breath or shallow breathing in my case, I have also come across GERD with these said diseases but in the meantime I have found your channel and I have not hesitated to subscribe at all. Your videos helped me calm down from anxiety from fear of a heart disease and I thank you so much for that.
This really put my mind at ease. Recently, my palpitations made a big comeback when I started working outside in the heat again. My doctor said exactly what you did when my ekg came back normal. She said unless there is a lot of pain with them, or they make me faint, don't worry about it. I still had some anxiety about it though and this helped me a lot. I haven't had them this bad since I was 16
Hi are you well now ....... Does the problem go away??

Thank so much young man. I am watching you in SL with Bradycardia ... I totally agree with you re not to worry. I know my heart is fine and need to reset it. I am a daily meditator .. Going through few emotional stuff and I am doing a major mental clean up... Take good care yourself and you are doing a great service globally ..
Suffering in palpitation in times of this covid is scary. 😣😣
very true... I am also suffering from palpitations :( especially if I can think of something that worries me :(
I had palpatations for 2 years. Tests revealed nothing. Palpitations got worse after being sick with covid19. I started taking magnesium, potassium and iron. I no longer have the palpations.
V Q Hello! What type of magnesium do you take?
@@KameaAloha75 magnesium malate daily, and Natural Vitality Calmful Sleep magnesium glycinate with magnesium carbonate for sleep and palpitations. I also take vit D3 regularly since Covid19. I hope you feel better soon.
V Q Thank you so much for replying back. I hope you will feel back to normal soon too. I am a survivor of Covid too. My symptoms were loss of taste and smell and sinus congestion. My husband had it worse. He had all the classic symptoms. Nothing like mines. Strange how this virus affects people differently in different ways. I hope you get back to normal soon as well.
I wish I had known about your videos before I had a heart cath and a loop recorder placed in my chest! Every test for my heart said there was nothing wrong with it, but because I was having palpitations my doctor recommended these tests. I hope I can get the loop recorder removed soon but they said the battery lasts for 3 years so I have one more year to go! You have made me feel so much better about all this. I recently had an attack of Afib and went to the hospital. They spent 2 days running every test in the book and found nothing wrong! I'm through with worrying about my heart! Thank you very much!
Another simply fantastic video! It is absolutely amazing how much patience and concern you have. Just the relief these videos provide is worthy of a Nobel Prize. On the other hand you do make all the doctors I have seen to date here in the US, including "top" ones in the NY area, seem quite useless. 😊
Thank you Dr Gupta. A very kind, thoughtful and generous video. I suppose the problems often come at times of stress. When you can’t sleep and when you enter viscious cycles of fatigue driving adrenaline and cortisol driving palpitations and driving bad sleep. I appreciate the holiday comment, but when stress is unavoidable: sick kids, covid lockdowns etc. Please keep up the good work. You’re saving lives.
You mentioned reflux. It only took me about 25 years to work out that my morning porridge (oats) was a major heartburn trigger for me. It became most apparent during my second pregnancy when the heartburn was so bad after eating porridge that I had to stop eating it for the rest of the pregnancy. And then after I gave birth I was out of the habit of eating porridge. When I started doing it again, or eating biscuits with oats in them, I realised that I had not been getting heartburn that much anymore and suddenly there it was again after eating oats. Of course other things give me heartburn too but the thing that has helped the most was starting a low carb / keto diet. You tend to avoid grains (including oats) on this diet. I eat a lot of dairy, cheese, milk yoghurt, but they don't give me heartburn at all. When I eat grain carbohydrates, rye, wheat, oats, and possibly in combination with dairy (milk in porridge, cheese on toast, etc) then I would get heartburn. But I also drink goat's milk rather than cow's milk, and I find it's much easier to digest too. But OATS! They were my number one daily heartburn trigger!
Stop worrying about them. Thank you I try to not focus your words are giving me back my sanity! Love your videos I start a beta blocker in a few days.
Thanks again so much Dr Gupta. You and my doctor helped me so much, and I’m so grateful. I’m going back on magnesium now as I’m beginning to get them again off and on, but it’s mostly following bouts of anxiety. Even if the anxiety was quite a bit earlier I still get them later on sometimes. However, most days I have either 1 or no ectopic. I’ve been going on forest walks about every second day and I think it’s really helping. I only ever once got an ectopic beat in the forest, and it was while I was standing still, not exercising. If anyone wants to talk about their ectopic beats, feel free to reach out to me as I know how it feels.
What did u to to stop them
I love the peace you offer. So different from most health care workers. Thank you soo much!!
Wonderful suggestions, thanks so much! You really "get it", and all of us suffering with palpitations of various kinds are extremely grateful for your information!
You are a boon for people brother. Bhagvaan aapko khush rakhe aur sehatmand rakhe
this is so reassuring, i have some on and off palpitation i remember exactly when it started, about 2nd week of the pandemic and we started wearing mask and everytime I go home i felt a random flutter in my heart, I ignored it but kept observing it especially if I am tired and stressed and so paranoid about it, I bought BP machine and my BP and pulse rate is normal, until 3 days ago I went to the Dr and ordered ECG and thyroid test, which gladly came up all normal praise God. Of course still worried about it as what you've said ..am I dying or scared of having a stroke. But came from you as a specialist I felt better now. I have to manage my worries and fears, since I am not overweight and I watch my foo as much as possible, only thing is I dont exercise, perhaps thats one thing I need to do. Thank you very much
How are you now? :)
@@leona5508 Hi I am doing well and I just shove it off and continue to function normally and I never noticed it as often maybe once a week or nothing at all, perhaps worrying aggravates it we may need to calm and relax from our daily life. Leave the things we can't control and be happy
You are a God sent. I have learnt a lot from you. I spend thousands on a cardiologist consultant and test and though he is a cool doctor I still don't understand what is happening with me. Just that my heart rate is high elevated blood pressure and ANEIXTY worst if I'm going to see you doctors. Watching your video I've learnt a lot
Thank you so much, I feel so much better and less anxious and afraid of my heart!!
thank you!

Tip #5 - Pay some attention to your sleep levels. ~Looks at the clock~ 2:40am.... well... crap...
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge I wish you were my doctor. Recently I’ve been dealing with so much of this and it’s quite scary but now I’ve learned so much listening to your video thank you so much from Houston Texas.
Thank you for mentioning sleep apnea. My sleep doctor said there is not just an Epidemic, but a Pandemic of this condition emerging.
When people stop breathing, their body shoots out stress chemicals (adrenaline, cortisol) which are very stressful on the heart and body.
For people who cannot get sleep testing or CPAP, the worst position for a floppy airway is 'on the back'. Try 'side sleeping' to reduce apnea events.
