Well done to your mum, your dearly departed dad, and especially to you Sanjay for all the kind and selfless information you share with everyone. You are a good and kind human being. THANK YOU! 👍
What a treasure you are! That was such an interesting look into the dynamics of proper diagnosis between Causes v symptons of an individual's health. Q. What can one expect such a thorough diagnosis to cost? On another note, I enjoyed yr brief tour of your home surroundings and the incredible work your mother has put into restoring the one building for visitors. So calm, so restorative! AND a plus listening to the soft sound of the waves of the sea. That all has so much potential for anyone who needs to get away from the world's disruptive issues! Sending you lots of good vibes and blessings. Elizabeth from Denmark 🇩🇰
3:23 God I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Gupta....despite being a traditional cardiologist he talks sense. I have been turned into a fkn mental wreck by run of the mill bullshit doctors who focused on my BP (elevated due to white coat syndrome) and my slightly elevated cholesterol and a1C. But i exercise 5-6days a week fairly vigorously for years and eat as healthy as possible and feel completely healthy. Yet they fixated on fixing the numbers and screwed with my head and screwed my life by causing me panic disorder, making me obsess over making the "numbers" perfect. I hate the medical field and going to doctors but thank god there's doctors like Dr. Gupta who have the decency and intelligence to treat and cure patients the right way without ruining the quality of their lives. I LOVED this video and it was so useful to calm my nerves. Thanks
My Holistic M.D. shares many of this doctors practical knowledge and beliefs. The whole body approach. How refreshing - and what an amazing mom!! I'm 75 and on NO medication, just some supplements. I'm not perfect with my diet [I'm about 85/15 % healthy to not so much] and I've been working out daily for over 50. I pray that at 80 I still have all the energy and brain health that his mom has. What an adorable little cabin!! I love it
That a doctor is sharing potentially life-saving information about heart disease in all its sophisticated complexities -- for free -- is quite noteworthy and edifying. And for 18 minutes? When my doctor sees me in his/her office, I can barely get 5 minutes.
I couldn’t agree more with you. I recently had a health checkup and they said everything is fine with you. But I have had an unusual discomfort in my chest and chin for several months, so I insisted in doing a CTA, which I paid by myself. The results showed very severe narrowing in the RI and severe narrowing in the LAD. They immediately admitted my to undergo a PCI. It’s now two weeks since I have two stents implanted and all symptoms disappeared. I believe I was very lucky. My advice: Listen carefully to your body and don’t believe everything. Be responsible for yourself.
Thank you so much for your excellent video on the tests we should be seeking and for showing us your guest house. What a wonderful job your remarkable mother has done.
You are a special Specialist, who cares for people, that's what makes you special. Thank you for your videos and your time. You deserve 100 Million Subscribers and Viewers!!!! I am going to recommend people I know to watch your videos.
Kenya is a beautiful place and the guest house must be beautiful too. Your mum must be a nice person to provide us with such a doctor. The view is beautiful.
I love you! That's a beautiful space, but the most beautiful part is that your mother finished your father's dream. I can tell they are/were beautiful people because they produced a beautiful person in you. I absorb every word you say and have for years. I just had all the basic tests you mentioned done at the Cleveland Clinic and all were abnormal. I wanted answers and I got them. Thank you for all your hard work. You make understanding the system easier. I appreciate everything you do! Thank you.
Such positive forces, you and your Mother. Your insight is always appreciated. How brightly your energy flows! You and your Mother are making a difference. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of the world. It seems serene there❤️
I am 79 and still working for a living.I have an ectopic heartbeat and my partner para afib. We have refused conventional drugs and thanks to your previous videos we have been taking High absorbancy Vit C, CoQ10,Nattokinase and vit D3 and my partner additionally takes an electrolyte drink once per week. I have practically eliminated my ectopic heartbeat and my partners afib has gone from once a week to once every 2 or 3 months and when it does occur it's duration is far less , only a few hours, and it is far less out of rhythm when it does occur. What your videos did was to take away the fear factor first of all and find alternative solutions to the mainstream medical which we learnt doesn't suit everyone.
Thank you so much for all the information. Important as usual. Wow. How amazing the guest house is basic but enough. What a beautiful place to grow up in. You are right to be proud of your Mum. 💜
I loved watching this video. very relaxed learning and enjoying the history of this place, thank you for making us feel part of your family. I have never met such a humble and charming doctor.
Thank you Dr. Gupta for continuing to educate us. Its not easy for the layman to navigate the medical system, especially here in America, and avoid the pitfalls. My best to you and yours.
Beautiful place, how lovely of you to share it with us. Your mother did a wonderful job! Your talk was so clear and helpful. You are a gifted physician and teacher!
You have a golden heart 💛. Thank you so much for caring, I am living in the Caribbean Island of Trinidad. How I wish that you were living and practicing here. You are a doctor who everyone hopes to have .I pray for God's continually blessings for you always 🙏 ❤🎉
Thanks for the update - would live to visit your Mum one day - she must be very very proud of you and what you’ve achieved in life - continue to make her a proud Mama
Thank you, as ever so clearly and convincingly presented. I'm so pleased about the new guest house, what a wonderful tribute to your dear father and hard working mum -- blessings!
Great job on the Guesthouse! Thank you so much for this information. I hope your viewers include medical students and other open minded cardiologists who are willing to revisit their screening practices.
The place is lovely. Thank you for sharing the story about your dads dream, and your mom making it happen. I would also like to thank you for all the valuable health information that you share with all of us. You're a kind soul... the world needs more people like you.
Thank you for another informative piece about cardiac assessment. I took notes and will use them for the first 😅 I've been dealing with alot of POTS episodes last few years. Your mother must be so happy to have you home ❤ The Armaan Guest House looks beautiful & good to see it listed on AirB&B with so many positive recommendations!
I honestly don’t know what I would have done without your videos. Ever since getting an arrhythmia right after contracting covid i was scared to death. Your videos and your insights have helped me tremendously ❤ thank you for all you do!
That is very interesting. Diagnosis by numbers has its limitations. Currently I’m studying dementia and issues surrounding early diagnosis vs timely diagnosis which has similarities in diagnosis. Loved seeing the views of your mother’s guesthouse - thank you so much for posting from there!
Oh that beach!!! Hi from New Zealand. I can’t believe your mom did that at 80. Thank you for answering so many questions. I am currently started on blood pressure meds and now a statin and my health is good so not convinced this is good after watching all your videos. I will watch this video again. Wonderful video in so many ways… thank you!! 💞💞
Oh my goodness, your smile is so much more relaxed here. Must be the joy of being back home. What a huge achievement your Mom built. Thx for the tour. I really enjoyed it. As for the subject, testing the markers you just pointed out makes so much sense.
Thank you so much for your kindheartedness . Your place is beautiful. Blessings to your entire family. I always appreciate your demeanor and humane contents.
Thank you for sharing! I had another episode of high BP, which I put it down to stress and high salt intake. The reading was 185/115! I was medicated at A&E for few hours until it returned to normal and then prescribed 5mg Amlodipina. ECG and bloods good and by the 3rd day my reading was 107/85 pulse 87. I'm not convinced I need this tablet, so I have adjusted my diet and lifestyle. After this packet of 28 I will stop taking them I will continue to monitor myself until I have a cardiac echo doppler in June!! Your family holiday property looks 😮 Kenya is on my bucket list.😊
Brilliant video! Thank you! You are one of my favorite doctors and cardiologists to listen to. You emphasize common sense over one size fits all protocols - especially when it comes to treatment and addressing patients peace of mind. Thank you!!!
Very much liked the building...all respects to your mother and her determination. Liked the content also... very informative and filled with good learning points
Aloha Dr,Gupta, thank you for all the information. You didn’t mention peripheral artery disease, and this is how I found that at least one artery in my left leg was blocked. I had a CT scan. I’m taking a low-dose of statin, and not only did my cholesterol go down, it was never super high, but the cramp in my leg went away. I had thought it was my arthritis. I changed my diet, and although my mobility is not great. I started exercising as much as I could. It was a complete accident that a nurse perform an ankle brachial test and sent the results to my doctor. Who ordered a CT scan my question is one. Is peripheral artery disease coronary artery disease as one doctor told me just a vascular problem. I asked to see a cardiologist and my PCP told me my feet looked good so I didn’t need to see a cardiologist but I pressed him and I have an appointment with a cardiologist for a consultation. Thanks to your advice I know what tests to ask for. I don’t have diabetes And my blood pressure has gone down since I started exercising. I’m 73 and I haven’t had many of the tests you suggested except an EKG. Thank you for listening and I love your channel. You are an awesome person and I wish your mom great success.
You are just the sweetest! And I always so appreciate your thoughtful, moderate, realistic perspective. It shouldn't be maverick to be so sensible, but it is and you are a wonderful, soft spoken, humble, and deeply ethical maverick.
Fasting insulin test, Methylmalonic acid test, CRP test, homocysteine test. Blood pressure monitor to be used at home along with a pulse oximeter. Test grip strength along with pushup and pull-up abilities. Heart rate recovery after exercise.
I completely agree with your reasoning. The only problem is that a cholesterol blood test, an HbA1c and taking someone's blood pressure in the doctor's surgery together will be a fraction of the cost of an echocardiogram or a CT angiogram. I guess that's why we are so often offered the former but not the latter. Of course, if you factored in the cost of unncessary treatement or missed illness that could result from over-reliance on the former, cheaper, tests, perhaps doing it properly would prove less expensive in the long run.
Dr Gupta, it is always a pleasure to listen to your marvellously prepared talks which are delivered in an informal conversational style. Thanks for sharing your Kenyan roots with us and your father’s work of a lifetime. From the third world Kenya to York Cardiology is no mean achievement for anyone. I take my hat off to your noble parents who made you what you are today. Stay blessed
You really have a ❤ to educate humanity Thank you for sharing your God given talent knowledge wisdom love and concern to educate us...God Bless u more brother😇
Thank you Dr. Gupta , this is very helpful as you always are . I get flyers in mail often for those ‘ simple ‘ screenings and have wondered how helpful they might be , now I know the specifically best tests one could do . 🌿🙏 Blessings on your dear mother ! Such an ambitious woman , beautiful oasis she created ! How sweet to complete your fathers dream as well .
I really have to agree with you about that blood pressure screening. I'm almost 70. I remember going to my doctor, who was very good with me, and when I first got there, my blood pressure was taken right away, and it was 140/100. But I had just walked about 3 miles to my doctor's office, and it was 88 degrees outside! Then he took it again about 20 minutes later, and my blood pressure dropped to 130 / 80, and then he waited 20 minutes more, and it dropped even further to 129 / 75! So as you stated, sometimes external reasons are the reasons that our blood pressure might fluctuate and it's a good doctor when they take that into consideration, and not get too excited and place you on a thousand medicines! Despite my age, my doctor was always surprised that my kidneys and my liver are both functioning at 98%, even my oxygen intake is about 98. My biggest problem has always been my weight. I'm 5 ft 9 and I am currently on a very nice little diet that I created and I hope to be back down to about 175 by July of this year.
I'm glad someone in your profession is looking at the wider picture of cardiac health. We get so hooked up on specific measurements. What do you think of measuring high sensitivity CRP as a measure of inflammation too? Does that fit in with these other early indicators too?
Thank you Sanjay for this informative video, I couldn’t agree with you more! Your mum’s guest house is charming, she’s worked hard to achieve your father’s wishes and I wish her and you well for the future ❤️
As a widow maker survivor of almost two years, I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your understanding and knowledge. I found out my EF left ventricular ilhas moved from 48 up to 66 this week, and your help has aided this recovery. I have some residual stiffness to the muscle and sightly high fill pressure bit all in all I'm doing fine.
I would love to go to Kenya, meet your mom and see her Guesthouse! Knowing you, though I've never met you personally, has given me hours of information and pleasure. Its great learning about other countries and their culture. You certainly are a gift for Kenya and so is your mom. Your Dad, as a Doctor, was especially an Asset and gift. Safe travels to you and God bless your Family.
Thank you so much for such an important video.. Will arrange for the screening when you are back. Enjoy the sun and being with your mum. Always looking forward to learning something new and great enlightenment.
Awww thats soo pretty. Well done to your mum. I totally agree with you on the presentation. Numbers scares us but there is more the cardiovascular system than just numbers. Thanks for sharing. I am a cardiac Nurse and im learning soo much from you. Enjoy your holidays and give mum a big hug from me.
My 26 year old son had ectopics start last year and had a 12 month follow up on the nhs. He has gone from 18% to 9% over 12 months. He really wants to join the armed forces but they need an all clear from his cardiologist. There is a 7 month wait for a stress test! So he decided to go private for it. The cardiologist he saw privately has mentioned ARVC just by looking at his notes. No stress test has been done yet. We are now really worried until the stress test is done and mri.
Oh yes that retinal scan and the kidney protein measure that doc mentioned is indeed the key to determine damege due to BP. Thanks a ton, doc and the Armaan guest house is so quaint😊👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you for always explaining so clearly about the heart. Amazing that your mum built a beach get away!! ❤ from Denver Colorado
Very well explained. Dr Gupta I think you are talking about basics and think about good health of patients. Thank you very much. Hope you keep enhancing our knowledge of medical subjects.
My hubby just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. His cholesterol is fine.YET the dr still tried to put him on statins? He refused. He had high BP. One dieruetics plus 2 other bp meda. Yet GP has never checked his urine???? Thanks for the tops. Hubby has had ecocardiagram. So lovely to see you beautiful guest house❤
Tell your mum she has done a great job with the guesthouse. I hope it's a success. As for your advice, well it reassures me. My BP is raised but I've had several echo cardiograms and one under "stress". I've also had a cardiac CT scan. All were clear. Thanks for the video.
How do we get these tests done on the NHSbecause doctors normally only do “normal” tests, for example, recently I went to the doc, she took 3 blood pressure readings, said I had high blood pressure, immediatley changed my medication, and that was that. I asked for an insulin blood test, and they told me that I’d have to go into hospital for that. It’s not easy to do what you suggest under the current NHS. Your place in Kenya looks lovely by the way, kudos to your mum!
There is another test, which can be done easily at home, which is the ankle brachial index test (ABI), you only need a blood pressure monitor, and it can show early signs of blockage in leg's blood vessels.
You are proud of your mum I can see that on your face❤ She fulfil your dad’s dream! Greetings from Croatia🇭🇷 Ps: I’m watching your videos because my husband have high BP ( 147/102) approx and he have red vessel at his right eye.. now I hear in your video that that might be a problem ( we are both 52 ) Need to investigate more and see what we can do.. I’m worry for him😢
Thank you Dr Sanjay for positive approach to assessing nd treating signs of cardiac disease. I do believe education and early detection of malfunction of retina nd renal funtion , on a regular basis , to aid prevention of cardiac disease, is good for most people. Thanks. Lovely location for your mum's apartment.
I think rather than always testing HBA1C , fasted glucose should be the norm to see if individuals are insulin resistant if so, then lifestyle and diet changes should kick in before ever becoming a type 2 diabetic.
thanks for the list of tests that might lead to a more accurate picture of overall circulatory health. this is meaningful to me because for years i have had almost perfect lab work and test results but still feel wretched much of the time. this has led me to believe that by the time one has bad lab work it is late in the game. thanks for the property tour, it looks a lovely place in beautiful surroundings, safe travels
Hi Sanjay..Thanks so much for the health screening information and you’re valuable as ever opinions which I really do agree with! Thanks also for sharing and giving you’re time it means so much . I can see you are so happy to be In Kenya with you’re Mother and the special place you’re Father dreamed of . My father too spent time in Kenya and would mention his time there during the war years quite often. Thank you again and enjoy the time ☀️
I agree about blood pressure it's not always hypertension n drs. Want to put u on meds. Right away... I don't like taking meds. all the time. I wish u were my dr.Thank you, Dr. so so much. Have a wonderful day . God bless 🙏❤️✝️
Your mum has worked hard to fulfill your dad's dream. You have every right to be proud. ❤
Thank you for the education, and I hope the Guesthouse is a great success for your Mum.
Your parents deserve all the credit for grooming you to become a great human being that you are.
wrong word choice
Well done to your mum, your dearly departed dad, and especially to you Sanjay for all the kind and selfless information you share with everyone. You are a good and kind human being. THANK YOU! 👍

Then he took it again about 20 minutes later, and my blood pressure dropped to 130 / 80, and then he waited 20 minutes more, and it dropped even further to 129 / 75! So as you stated, sometimes external reasons are the reasons that our blood pressure might fluctuate and it's a good doctor when they take that into consideration, and not get too excited and place you on a thousand medicines! Despite my age, my doctor was always surprised that my kidneys and my liver are both functioning at 98%, even my oxygen intake is about 98. My biggest problem has always been my weight. I'm 5 ft 9 and I am currently on a very nice little diet that I created and I hope to be back down to about 175 by July of this year.
Such a nice guest house. Thank you for sharing Dr. And the most important medical information.
This man is a jem, he tells the truth which is refreshing
Jambo! fellow Kenyan !.. nice place ! Well done to your mama x
I'm glad someone in your profession is looking at the wider picture of cardiac health. We get so hooked up on specific measurements. What do you think of measuring high sensitivity CRP as a measure of inflammation too? Does that fit in with these other early indicators too?
Many Thanks Dr. Gupta. Your commonsense approach of medicine makes the world a better place.
Thank you Sanjay for this informative video, I couldn’t agree with you more! Your mum’s guest house is charming, she’s worked hard to achieve your father’s wishes and I wish her and you well for the future ❤️
Thank you again Dr Sanjay. you are so reassuring!
As a widow maker survivor of almost two years, I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your understanding and knowledge. I found out my EF left ventricular ilhas moved from 48 up to 66 this week, and your help has aided this recovery. I have some residual stiffness to the muscle and sightly high fill pressure bit all in all I'm doing fine.
What exactly is that. Is there a video about this?
@@Thats_Right80 Ejection fraction. Lots of you tube
I would love to go to Kenya, meet your mom and see her Guesthouse! Knowing you, though I've never met you personally, has given me hours of information and pleasure. Its great learning about other countries and their culture. You certainly are a gift for Kenya and so is your mom. Your Dad, as a Doctor, was especially an Asset and gift. Safe travels to you and God bless your Family.
Your pride in your family shines through - I hope your mother is proud of everything you've all achieved together too! ❤
WOW your mum is great..I was born in West Africa❤
Thank you so much for such an important video.. Will arrange for the screening when you are back. Enjoy the sun and being with your mum. Always looking forward to learning something new and great enlightenment.
Thank you again Dr.Gupta for all your great information... Have a great time with at your Mother's Home...
Awww thats soo pretty. Well done to your mum. I totally agree with you on the presentation. Numbers scares us but there is more the cardiovascular system than just numbers. Thanks for sharing. I am a cardiac Nurse and im learning soo much from you. Enjoy your holidays and give mum a big hug from me.
My 26 year old son had ectopics start last year and had a 12 month follow up on the nhs. He has gone from 18% to 9% over 12 months. He really wants to join the armed forces but they need an all clear from his cardiologist. There is a 7 month wait for a stress test! So he decided to go private for it. The cardiologist he saw privately has mentioned ARVC just by looking at his notes. No stress test has been done yet. We are now really worried until the stress test is done and mri.
Wonderful place! Your mom has done a great job!
Oh yes that retinal scan and the kidney protein measure that doc mentioned is indeed the key to determine damege due to BP. Thanks a ton, doc and the Armaan guest house is so quaint😊👍
The love of a mom is amazing.....nothing like it on earth.
Fully agree! Didn't feel 100% reassured until my cardio did the cardiac CT and got a calcium coronoary score of 0
It's always so amazing to learn from you❤ Thank you so much for your compassion and wisdom. If all Dr's could learn this from you❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you for always explaining so clearly about the heart.
Amazing that your mum built a beach get away!!

Very well explained. Dr Gupta I think you are talking about basics and think about good health of patients.
Thank you very much.
Hope you keep enhancing our knowledge of medical subjects.
Thankyou for the information and the sharing of your story.
My hubby just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. His cholesterol is fine.YET the dr still tried to put him on statins? He refused. He had high BP. One dieruetics plus 2 other bp meda. Yet GP has never checked his urine???? Thanks for the tops. Hubby has had ecocardiagram. So lovely to see you beautiful guest house❤
Tell your mum she has done a great job with the guesthouse. I hope it's a success.
As for your advice, well it reassures me. My BP is raised but I've had several echo cardiograms and one under "stress". I've also had a cardiac CT scan. All were clear. Thanks for the video.
She did a great job with Sanjay too. I love seeing them together and admire her spunk and determination. 💕
How do we get these tests done on the NHSbecause doctors normally only do “normal” tests, for example, recently I went to the doc, she took 3 blood pressure readings, said I had high blood pressure, immediatley changed my medication, and that was that. I asked for an insulin blood test, and they told me that I’d have to go into hospital for that. It’s not easy to do what you suggest under the current NHS.
Your place in Kenya looks lovely by the way, kudos to your mum!
NHS lol give me a break.. If you want to live you must go abroad / private
There is another test, which can be done easily at home, which is the ankle brachial index test (ABI), you only need a blood pressure monitor, and it can show early signs of blockage in leg's blood vessels.
You are proud of your mum
I can see that on your face❤
She fulfil your dad’s dream!
Greetings from Croatia🇭🇷
Ps: I’m watching your videos because my husband have high BP ( 147/102) approx and he have red vessel at his right eye.. now I hear in your video that that might be a problem ( we are both 52 )
Need to investigate more and see what we can do.. I’m worry for him😢
Thank you Dr Sanjay for positive approach to assessing nd treating signs of cardiac disease.
I do believe education and early detection of malfunction of retina nd renal funtion , on a regular basis , to aid prevention of cardiac disease, is good for most people. Thanks.
Lovely location for your mum's apartment.
Thank you once again. The guest house is beautiful. I'm going to look up that area.
❤❤❤
Always the best advice. Great doctor
I think rather than always testing HBA1C , fasted glucose should be the norm to see if individuals are insulin resistant if so, then lifestyle and diet changes should kick in before ever becoming a type 2 diabetic.
24 HR blood pressure monitoring by doctor is the way to go...but humbers are the only way to diagnose
thanks for the list of tests that might lead to a more accurate picture of overall circulatory health. this is meaningful to me because for years i have had almost perfect lab work and test results but still feel wretched much of the time. this has led me to believe that by the time one has bad lab work it is late in the game. thanks for the property tour, it looks a lovely place in beautiful surroundings, safe travels
Great advise and appreciate your candid knowledge. Love your guest house😊. Enjoy time with your Mum ❤
Hi Sanjay..Thanks so much for the health screening information and you’re valuable as ever opinions which I really do agree with! Thanks also for sharing and giving you’re time it means so much . I can see you are so happy to be In Kenya with you’re Mother and the special place you’re Father dreamed of . My father too spent time in Kenya and would mention his time there during the war years quite often. Thank you again and enjoy the time ☀️
Thanks Sanjay, you're always a pleasure to listen to and true gentleman. My blessings to you and your family.
Your mama is AMAZING! We all send her our ❤️! Xxx
