Is my abnormal heart rhythm dangerous?

- In this video, i tell you about those features which make an abnormal heart rhythm dangerous. The first is 1) How sustained the heart rhythm is 2) How fast the disturbance is 3) Is it atrial or ventricular 4) Is it on the background of an already damaged heart? I'd be so grateful if you'd consider subscribing and sharing.. for my whatsapp broadcasts please send me a message on +447951310008
This video KILLS anxiety
Made the feeling in my chest go away lol. Currently been tested with slightly high blood pressure and was told to test at home for a week incase I had white coat (increased blood pressure because of anxiety being at the doctors) but the heart arrhythmia sign keeps popping up now and again and it was freaking me out, in turn increasing my blood pressure lol.
@@mmbaz8622 it's like a vicious circle. How high does ur pressure get btw?
@@calltherussian whats your bp like when anxiety hits? Im anxious all the time atm other days worse than others but thankfully even tho my hr is high my bp is coming down since im losing weight 😃
@@swagkidm10 130/90 or 140/95.. but highest i've gotten was when I was sick with covid I was hitting 170/115 :/ then it would come down by itself to 125/75 or so
Thanks for informative n God bless you sir.
I have had palpitations since I was a teenager. I am now almost 50. I am in the best health of my life but was convinced that I could fall over dead at any moment, for all of these years. I recently had my first cardio related panic attack. I found your videos and I am so grateful. When I am worried, I listen to you and your personality is kind, friendly and caring. Listening to your videos calms and reassures me that truly, nothing is wrong and I am okay. Thank you... so very thank you.
I agree with this 100%. I'm 41 and have had heart sensations for decades. I always worried I would suddenly have a heart attack. This guy explains things so well.
This message you wrote clam me
could you explain your symptoms ?
Periodically, for a few days to a couple weeks, my heart will skip beats. It feels like it is flip flopping and my pulse matches what I am feeling in my chest. Sometimes there are twinges of pain, sometimes no pain. Then I can go months with no palpitations. Occasionally, I will get a fast heart beat for about 10 seconds and then it goes back to normal. Recently, I was exerting myself and my chest was pounding and skipping lots of beats for a few minutes. No physical symptoms like dizziness. My resting heart rate drops below 60 sometimes. I am active. In the low 50's when I sleep. @@0xArkemi
He has such a kind manner and explains things so well - you just know he cares.
Give this man a medal. He explains everything so well. Why can’t all doctors be this clear and concise?
Agree
This cardiologist is genius as far as hearts are concerned
For me you are the most knowledgable cardiologist in this planet world. Admire you Dr.
how kind thank you so much!
@@YorkCardiology i would love to an appoitment with you, i had a problem on the last november my heart started pump really fast, and i still have a few symptoms now dont know if is anxiety or a heart problem
@@YorkCardiology What causes extra heartbeats?
Rui Cruz what was wrong?
On god!!
Hats off to this gentleman...he has the best bedside manner I've ever seen in a doctor!
We need more doctors like you doing these videos. Your very intelligent doctor. God bless.
As a successful cardiologist, you might be floored to hear that my doctor simply said, "Lots of people walk around with arrhythmia and don't even know it." That was all the assurance I got that I wouldn't drop dead from my newly - manifested heart concerns. People with "mild" cardiac issues should be shown this video. It helps a person with no medical background feel more at ease, and less like they're walking around with a ticking time bomb that could go off - or stop! - at any moment. Thank you!
Shit man. I have MVP, Both Mitral and Tricupidal regurgitations which causes chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and anxiety and depression. I think people suffering from Anxiety induced shortness of breath which is not linked to mental stress but heart valve problem are at great risk of heart failure from the broken heart syndrome.
Give the link to your clients 😉
As an example, I was at the office of my cardiologist today for an appointment where I had just completed an EKG five minutes before he came in to talk to me. When he looked at the EKG and listened to my heart he informed me that I was currently in a state of Atrial Fibrillation. I had no idea that this was going on at the moment and told him that I felt fine and didn't feel that anything was amiss. Not all heart problems cause angina (chest pain), weakness, tiredness, or shortness of breadth.
I love Dr. Gupta. Just his voice alone calms me down.
I can go live now and stop worrying about my heart, thank you!
Agreed! So commonsense-cal, but NO ONE told me this!
How are you now?
Your videos always make me feel better I’m always thinking my heart is gonna stop I have been told I’ll be fine but you expand why I will be ok thank you for your videos they have dramatically reduced my anxiety
John Roddy my anxiety is at an all time high I’m to the point where I always think my heart is going to stop and want a defibrillator installed and on paper o don’t “need one”
SiR Charles yeah I know exactly what you mean but watching this doctor and time have help that with me so much
Folks, I went through the same problem once. Terrified my heart was going to burst when it beat over 200 times a minute.
I went through a procedure called radio frequency ablation where they use radio frequency to destroy part of the heart tissues causing my tachycardia. It is a less than 30 mts. procedure where they insert a catheter into your heart and ablated the heart tissues causing the problem. Except for a sharp burning pain for a few seconds on impact, it was totally pain free. I was awake the whole time and watched the proceedings on the monitor.
Ever since then did not have a single episode of tachycardia. It has been over 20 years now and I am absolutely fine. So Good Luck to all my fellow sufferers. Get well soon.
I have let ectopics ruin many of my days. I have anxiety and never know if anxiety is causing the or if they are causing my anxiety. Vicious cycle. Your videos have been such a huge sigh of relief for me. I thank God for you. ❤️
Do you ever cause your heart to races after an ectopic?
magnesium laurate
Try ashwaganda works great to relieve stress and anxiety
Me too! I’m only 21 and I’m scared to live normally.
Rob I do. After an ectopic beat my heart just goes into a race of 150bpm+.
Who would dislike this video? He is a great doctor.
Thank God I found this video! I have been suffering heart palpataions on and off and though for sure I was 1 step from the grave - this explained it so well, thank you!
My heart skips a beat every once in awhile. My cardiologist told me it wasn't dangerous, but it sure keeps me on my toes. And Dr. Gupta, you are doing a fantastic job! 😊
mine is skipping beats as well every now and then but been more frequent i guess because of stress, i have done EKG's their are normal, i have done Echocardio-diagrams and my heart in right size even, blood work and they all are normal but i get skipped beats and im only 21, and an athelte its crazy , scares me so imma just see cardiologist tomorrow to rest my mind
Same here. I had an EKG taken and my doctor told me that I have what is called "double beats" and he told me that it isn't dangerous and it's also normal and rather common. And these extra double beats also are a sign and proof of that the heart is functioning just well and normally. The "double beats" and what seems to be "skips" of heart beats are because of IF the Sinus knot fails in giving that electrical impulse for the heart muscles to contract as it shall, there are a several other cells in the heart (ventricel) that also can give the heart electrical impulses to contract and that steps in and substitute for the Sinus Knot and will give the heart that lacking electrical impulse instead of the Sinus Knot. Then the heart will beat extra between 2 normal heart beats. And after that it will take a little longer time until the next heartbeat will occur. And that is why it seems and sounds like the heart skips a beat. And, yes it occurs more often when we experience and are under stress, anxiety etcétera. So, most people can calm down and not worry!
@@marvinathanae7606 believe me it will not kill you. I've had it for years. At times all day.
@@gamunozm1 Thanks for the reassurance. Really appreciated it
@@sofiapaulsdotterhenriksson6381 i have the same thing my issue now its that my heart beats are dropping very low to 40bpm 😢
I am a family nurse practitioner practicing in a critical access hospital. I found your channel recently and I wanted to say thank you for these excellent videos! Thank you from me, and from my patients who are benefiting from these videos and don't even know it. Thanks so much!
I agree! He’s excellent.
I think he is just what the world needs,I am addicted to his teachings,and they are helping me,my Dr told me my heart is stuffed, I haveA/F and 3 leaky valves.not sure what I will do next I'm 82.thank you to this kind and caring soul .....
One more great video from the best cardiologist on the earth Thank you👍🏻
Thank you! I appreciate you and the kindness you show me!
Your videos are so calming and reassuring, just what I needed . I was suffering so much anxiety over my palpitations now I feel so much relief. Thank you very much .
Thank You so much Dr.I had palpitations for 5 years now and now i can relax and enjoy my life.
Thank you so much. That clears out so much worry. I never had a doctor explain this to me so well.
We Appreciate You! Thank You So Much.
how lovely thank you! i appreciate you!
You are absolutely perfect, Dr. You are not saving only lives but you also caring mental health of so many people. I wish you all the best and greetings from the Czech Republic.
You have an amazing ability to take confusing topics and distill them into clear information! So appreciated.
Thank you so much for this. I had a racing heart last week and I had to see the Doctor. It is so scary because they told me I have Afib and that I have a risk of stroke. So, every time my heart races I start to panic. I live in constant fear. Your videos are so enlightening and reassuring. May God Bless you.
How's you now...are you cured
@@HINDUSTANI101ful thank you for your inquiry. I am better now. I take magnesium every night before bed. I have also been taking an iron supplement. ferrous Fume-rate is essential to help deliver oxygen through the blood.
@@lawrence-k7v thats totally normal millions of people have this just remember that enjoy ur life cuz life and death is something thats not in our hands :)
Thank you so much for this video! I suffer with terrible anxiety and this causes me to feel strong palpitations constantly( sometimes they keep me up all night) your video has given me a lot of reassurance that this isn’t doing the damage that my mind is telling me it is so Thankyou again :-)
You ever get them where they beat like twice than it beats normal for a while than does it again but does this all day?
Now this is a man I truly trust, respect, and admire. Thank you for all you do Dr. Your videos have helped me put my mind at ease
Thanks because I really needed to 👂that. God is good all the time ❤
I used to have episodes of tachycardia/ abnormal heart rhythm. Initially, I was put on blood pressure tablets but when the episodes became more frequent and longer in duration I was advised a procedure called radio frequency ablation.
In layman's terms it means that I had a short circuit in the electrical pathway in my heart. This was the cause of my arrhythmia. They needed to use radio frequency energy, something like we have in microwaves to destroy a part of the heart tissues causing my arrhythmia.
They put a catheter from my leg into my heart and ablated the tissues. It was a simple 30 minutes procedure. I was alert throughout and watched the procedure on the screen. The only pain I felt was when they actually burnt the tissues. The pain was bad but thankfully for just a few seconds and then gone, completely. That was all.
I have had not a single episode of arrhythmia ever since. My heart is absolutely fine. This was over 20 years back! Today with more research and advanced technology there is no need to fear heart problems.
Thank you so much for the reassuring words
@@bosi292 you are welcome. Our heart is the hardest working muscle in our body. Considering the non- stop work it has to do, it has to be very strong and resilient, which it is. Today heart care technology is so advanced that they do surgery on tiny unborn babies in their mother's womb! It is called in-utero heart surgery. So no need to worry. Good Luck.
@@sanobermalhotra6307 wow so amazing to hear! I'm glad your ablation was a success , just had one done two weeks ago:)
I am sure yours will be as successful as mine. Wishing you good health and a long happy life.
@@sanobermalhotra6307 thank you I appreciate that!! And like wise wishing you a long healthy happy life. God bless
I 'cured' my ectopics by taking betaine HCL before every meal, after watching your video on the gut/heart connection I came to realise that what triggers my ectopics is eating, particularly fatty foods, however it is a delayed response - happening hours after I eat a meal and I found taking betaine HCL which increases stomach acid reduces them significantly in my case
so thank you for making this kind of content, I was at my wits end not being able to lie down without having constant ectopic beats and having no idea why
if anyone else gets ectopics on a regular basis, I suggest you try fasting for a day and seeing if you get them during your fast, or after you eat a meal
It's reduced if I fast, when I start to eat it hits me strong
I suffer from exactly same problem😢😢😢😢😢
And when I told the cardiologist that I got the irregular heart beats or ectopic after eating he just don't pay any attention😢😢😢
I fear eating anything
I do relate in this! After I eaten my lunch .. specifically fatty or just full meal
Yes I get it and the doctor says it doesn't happen like that after eating
@@hudanoor2203 How are you now?
I recently found his channel when my EKG result indicated that I have irregular heart beats on Dec.8,2021. Since then I have subscribed and regularily have listen to his broadcast; he made it simple to understand a very complex and difficult subject.
Have you any symptoms
@@footjn532 will learn more in s few weeks. Thanks for asking.
How are you now?
Thank you. Occasional atrial flutter will not be of concern to me any longer. Readily understood 👍😊
Lowered my stress just listening to you explain it. Hearing these words and not knowing what they actually mean can be concerning. Thanks for posting
This is so comforting to hear. The extra beats kind of stop me in my tracks and are more irritating than anything else but I’m so glad for this informative explanation.
You are a true person to your oath...you are one of few who help so many of us watch and listen to get honest & true information . It is sad that today many lives are at risk because with good reason people cannot trust the medical industry....Thank you for being a good man & Dr.!!! Many Blessings
Dr Gupta your videos are phenomenal ! The way you explain complicated topics to the audience is very illuminating clear and informative. Thank you for your channel ! 👍👍
I love this video!!! I am so thankful you put out videos for us palpitators!!!
ILOVE THIS DOCTOR! I did check my heart many times in the last 5-6 years and I did a lot of tests, including blood tests, x-ray, heart echo, echo of the carotid, EKG, and Holter EKG, and I have seen maybe 7 or 8 cardiologist. Except for some extrasystole beats that are under 600 per 24 hours and mild hypertension, all is OK. Very rare (once every few weeks) I have a sudden series of faster and stronger 6-8 beats, that go away in like 2 seconds. This happens with no warning while I am resting or walking. No stress, no effort, no caffeine, no drinks, no sugar (except a banana on an empty stomach in the morning) no alcohol, no smoking, no spice, NOTHING. It just comes bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, and goes away. NO sweat, no dizziness, no pain....just a bit scared by the feeling of sudden those beats. All doctors say I must not be worried but...I am anxious...this is my nature... So, this video is soooo good for me. Thank you!
Dr. Gupta, the absolute best. My favorite Cardiologist!!!
You have just made me so much more relaxed. Sir your are a hero. Thank you so much doctor
I don't even have the words to describe how much your videos help me with this subject ! Thank you for your knowledge, skill, and commitment !!!
These videos are amazing for my mental health in dealing with afib and palpitations etc. Thank you!
You bring knowledge and peace. Bless you.
This Doctor is truly a gift from God! He has helped me in ways no one can truly understand. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this clear and reassuring explanation, Dr. Gupta.
Thank you for making these videos. This makes me feel so much better while I am dealing with occasional skipped beats. You're a lovely person and all doctors should be so kind.
Thank you for your videos. For someone who has an unhealthy level of anxiety surrounding My heart generally your explanations truly help! 🙏
Thank you Dr. Gupta! You’re really an angel in this era of commercialization. Keep it up the good work.
My siblings and i are in our 50s and we are each having heart rhythm issues recently. Your video teachings are so reassuring to us! Thank you!!!
⛳️I got my Heart rhythm problems just after taking Pfizer vaccines in USA. 2yrs ago.. and still not fully well. Before my energy was good and very active!!
I found this explanation very helpful. Several of my family have been diagnosed with abnormal heart rhythm/AFib that is being treated. Thank you for the video!!
For all the things your cardiologist should talk to you about and doesn't .you will get it here!! Thanks Doc!!😀
Watching these videos are helping me. I have normal ekgs but palps... I am trying to stop clutching at my neck all the time.. thank you
Thank you Doc!!!! Puts my mind at ease for sure!
I have a leaky aortic valve that usually gives me loads of skipped beats at night and you’ve definitely put my mind at ease!! Thank you!!!
Me too
Beautifully explained in simple way for the benefit of viewers. Great job.
thank you so much!
Your information is so reassuring. I’ve been concerned about my increasing resting heart rate which has gone from 68 on December to 80 last night. I think its mostly poor sleep and anxiety. Just having a better understanding of all this gives me more peace of mind that it is probably something i can fix and isn’t serious.
This is so great, well done! I feel pretty sure I won’t get this concise and explanation from the cardiologist I will see in three weeks. All the concepts are easy to understand as they are presented. I am relieved! Thank you Dr. Gupta!
Excellent job! I have PVC's, some NSVT's, and another arrhythmia that we weren't able to catch on the monitor that can last up to a minute or two with heavy exercise. I've done all the tests and your videos (this one in particular) have really helped me understand what's going on to put my mind at ease! I've learned more from your videos than 6 months going to my own cardiologist!
Dear doctor you are so wonderful!!! May God bless you always. You are a gift from God to all of us! Thank you for all you do!!!
In a nut shell you say your are grateful... Nay I think people like myself are extremely great full to you for taking the time to explain to us the ins and outs in a down to earth manner thanks you.
Thank you for your technical yet understandable videos. Thank you for helping me to understand that every skip and flutter doesn't mean a trip to the ER. I've had skips and flutters for over 3 years now and have been able to reduce my heart rate from mid to upper 70's, to upper 50's and lower 60's thru exercise in that time. Thank you and others, for explaining some of the reasons for irregular heart beats and how to reduce or eliminate them thru diet and nutrition.
Your videos bring me much comfort. Thank you for sharing this
Life saver for everyone is this man ..
I’m so glad I found your channel .
Thank you for all you do ..keep up the good work !!
God bless ..you
We appreciate all the valuble information you put out......Thank you ever so much God bless from N Ireland
I’m a practicing pharmacist so I use your channel to signpost patients and also as a great learning tool for myself. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and feedback from my patients is very positive. Kind regards Archie
All great Professionals present their case in a very simple to understand way. Thank you...
Sir I think your are a very good human being that's why you're a good doctor
This video gave me lot of relief doctor, as others said you are the best cordiologist in the planet
Thank u again for the reassurance. U are a life saver. I can’t even begin to tell u how appreciative I am to have found u. U have helped me through some of my worst times with pvcs.
New to SVD I'm really glad I found you ♥️
Dr. Ive only watched about 5 videos so far. Truely you have found your purpose thru your work. Also as I read the comments its obvious how many people you put at ease thru giving understanding to these terms and conditions. God Bless you.
Ps.. Your very easy to listen and look at💚
Brilliant explanation. It would be interesting to hear what causes these sustained heart rhythm problems and what measures can be taken to address them. I am very grateful for the expertise and time spent on these health conditions. While we are advised not to self diagnose it is difficult to find a doctor who has time for such explanation.
How could you get better? I do no believe I have ever encountered anyone that is anywhere near 'better' than you...you are so valued❣
Hello Doctor, I have been watching your videos and they hav e been a healer in itself.. I also have heart rhythm disorders and i do panic at times and my motivation is your videos.. Please keep helping us and may God bless you..
So glad I found this heaven sent Dr!!! I feel like I have wasted half my life in panic.. like u said live ur life for quality not quantity 💚💜💚
Great video, well explained and easy to understand. Please don't change a thing!
I wish there were more doctors like you ❤ very reassuring as usual. Love your videos
Dr Gupta,u r a gem..... if i can survive 4 more years,i might consider u as my God...
Thanks Dr you really do have a great calm way of explaining things,I've been diagnosed with A-fib but I'm totally unaware & have never so much as experienced a dizzy spell,but as soon as I get into the NHS surgery I can fell my heart racing which alerts the doctor who then wants to suscribe me a handful of medication which I don't want or need causing me even greater anxiety
Your vedios make us less worried about our heart health....in a way its helping our psyche...thanks a tonne
Your the best doctor ever!
This is such a great explanation and appreciated by many I am sure.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH DR. GUPTA FOR YOUR IMPORTANT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE VIDEOS!!! Any time I have any concerns I come to your videos. You are making the world so much better by sharing your knowledge with us and I am so grateful. I recently went to a cardiologist but when I got there my bp was perfect. I mentioned my occasional heart palpitations and a sharp pain for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes (under 5). Your video has eased my mind.
Wow, I’m seeing new videos from you almost daily! Thank you for your many videos, I’m watching a lot of them, I‘m also taking magnesium daily as well as other vitamins!
Anna Barbara I'm taking vatal pulse God sent had irregular heart beats since 14 now 45 hardly get any episodes now this pill is a.miracle and also they have the best reviews and please buy the package deal 2 and up becuause the more u buy the less is it or just try one bottle u see the difference
Thank his new girlfriend! He's showing off!
Dr. Gupta , you are a gift from god to us, I hope to see you with Dr. B. M. Hedge in one video
This is beautifully explained. I'm going through a period of bad ectopics, where sometimes i feel them as electrical jolts or a feeling of blood rushing downwards - but i have just had a completely nornal echo (apart from my bicuspid, which was functioning normally with no signs of stenosis, regurg, or aortic dilatation).
I have caught my rythm disturbances on single lead ecg, and at worst they contain 10 ectopics per minute with a typical HR of 120 ish, with occasional big and trig episodes, but of course non of these are sustained disturbances, so I am greatly reassured by this explanation in the company of a structurally normal heart.
Single lead ecgs from smart tech often show these ectopic tachy episodes as afib alerts, as they are slightly irregular, and i think this is a growing issue which makes people fearful.
Very reassuring. Clearly presented. Thank you.
I started getting ectopics at the end of last year and your videos have helped so much. Thank you for taking your time to make these videos. You're greatly appreciated.
This was a great video Dr Sanjay Gupta it helped me to understand more about my afib symptoms. Can't wait to see my cardiologist.
Your are an incredible person. Cannot believe how much you put my mind at ease with such ease too. I am having numerous issues and I never seem to get any real sound advice or explanations when seen.
How are u now
Thank you so much for takinh the time to explain things in laymans terms. I have learnt so much about my heart condition not from my cardiolagist but throught watch your videos. Thank you for taking time out of your already busy schedule to explain things!
Great cardiologists he is helping so.very many people thank you for your time and expertise sir.
Thank you for this great video.. Very clear and concise so we can understand. I have anxiety and every now and this I feel palpitations or skips, which makes my anxiety worse. When I was 29 I had bad anxiety, it went away for few years, then came back, and then went away again for a few years and now its back again.
I wish my cardiologist explained things the way do
U are very understandable to the layman like me
Thank you
fantastic information to know for someone like me who discovered had a bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and nearly 52 years in age but healthy slim and fit but worries all the time its good to know this stuff, thank you so much you are he best!! god bless, you are an angel :)
Thank you, Doctor, for demystifying this very complex topic. You start out putting us at ease. i appreciate that
as against most others who tend to first scare the living daylights out of you.
very helpful. why does my cardiologist never explain this to me? They try to keep everything a deep mystery. people aren't stupid. they can understand a simple explanation. thanks again.
As always, a fabulous video that explains much - I need to ask my cardiologist if I have atrial or ventricular tachycardia
What amazes me about my abnormal heart rate is at 56 yrs of age and numerous visits to different doctors where I've had my heart rate taken they never mentioned it at all despite me being aware of it. Only once has someone mentioned it and that was a nurse. I asked a doctor about it one time and he didn't even answer me. It's like nobody cares so thank you for doing so and explaining it to me .
Thank you so much Dr. Gupta, you are doing a great thing and helping many including myself feel more comfortable about their heart rhythm issues and educating at the same time. I have never had a doctor take the time to explain things like you, most just rush you in and out like an assembly line. Keep up the good work, you have a true heart for medicine.
Useful topic I didn’t know that you can have radio frequency ablation without a pacemaker. Great comments below
I am 28, and I tortured myself going through all the articles and scaring myself to give up. Your video gave me hope and educated me just as much as I need to know. Thank you soo much. I'll try to be healthy from now on.
From when you are having this problm ?
