- in this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta talks about ways in which you can distinguish between simple indigestion and a heart attack and what to do if you are being troubled with chest pains in the middle of the night and don't know what to do. My website is www.yorkcardiology.co.uk
Just imagine how lucky his patients are ! Very lucky people to have him as a Doctor.
Very good advice.Thank u doc
I was 66. Had indegestion type pain at 3am. I got some bicarb.tried to sleep. Still pain.my wife insisted hospital. I resisted. My BP was 165/120...straight to A and E. Glad I went. I had a blockage in the LAD .." widow maker artery". 2 stents fitted. Now one year on. This video is THE BEST ADVICE.
Clarity, brevity, pronunciation and comprehension is the hallmark of your vlog. You make listener very wise on his cardiac problems. Thank you so much for your help and advice.
I love this guy need more doctors like him
Wish all doctors were like you . Please keep us informed because it does educate us older ones .
I'm glad I met you on here when I had an A-Fib episode because I've learned so much about heart health that I wouldn't have bothered to listen otherwise. I've always been told I was healthy so I would not have done anything even though there were a history of heart attacks on my family. Thanks to you, I'll never have that attitude again. You bet you're not wasting your time! You're doing is a service! God bless you!
He does help us to make good decisions!
My husband called the ambulance around 20 times during 2018 because of my chest pain.
It was a very bad year for me with a lot of anxiety, loss of my mother, stress.
At the ER they checked everything. I stayed over night 2 times. Nothing wrong with my heart.
I got transmitted to another hospital where I sat on a bicycle with isotop in my veins, a cardiologist checked my EKG during the whole thing.
Then I had to wait before going in to a "tunnel" for 25 minutes where they took 3D pictures of my heart.
My veins where clear, my heart was healthy.
I have smoked in the past, over 50. Never had alcohol. I'm vegan since 1989, I'm 164 cm my weight today was 55kg. Good blood pressure.
Still I get anxious when I get chest pain. Or should I say more anxious then usual.
It's embarrassing how many times I've been to the ER.
Thank you again for all the great videos.
Greetings from Sweden.
olivia it’s better to be safe than sorry.

It's better to be saved then sorry
My home health nurse was over and I got some chest discomfort my service dog alerted me she called 911 sure enough the EMS took a EKG and it showed a stemi a major heart attach went to ER with lights and siren and went strait to Cath lab by passed the ER both of my arteries going to my heart where blocked
I owe my life to my service dog and all the nursing staff
@@elnorecrupi5099 Aw your dog saved your life!💕 I'm glad that you got help before it was to late. Blocked arteries is really bad.
We have heart issues in my family so I always think I'm going to have a heart attack when I get chest pain. I haven't been to the ER for it anymore. I feel stupid when the tests shows up that my heart is fine. But I do have chest pain a lot. Kiss your dog from me for being a hero😊 I wish you full recovery.
Thank u I will
Make sure if something is wrong go to the ER sometimes all can be normal and then something happens
I was in the hospital one the was going to keep me for observation well at 2 am the same and took a no the EKG and it was abnormal the MD told me later that I scared them my heart went up to 170
So go the neck with them
God bless you and all the work you do treating and educating people. You truly are an angel!
Think you’re spot on...I woke in the night thinking indigestion,waited then got worse,so hour later I rang 111 ,didn’t want to disturb 999..wishing I did now and not waisted time...49 yrs ex smoker very over weight and high blood pressure,very tight pain in centre of chest and then the sweats and nausea,glad I didn’t completely ignore it now
THANK you Dr,I'm 68 and once got mild stroke,your tips are very helpful,THANK you very much
Great, straight-forward, info. Easy-to-understand and vitally important . . . Thank you, Dr!!!
I thought I had heartburn at first, but I felt so bad I went to hospital. Calling an ambulance would have been better, but I didn't really believe bullet-proof me would be having a heart attack, even though I was. Echo is normal except for a scar, so I got of lightly. If in doubt calling an ambulance is perfectly reasonable.
What did the doctor attribute the scar to?
A beautiful Dr.. always down to earth..who love his passion... explain the words in very simple way
I wish I had seen this video before I had my 'episode'. I did go to ER and blood tests were done, i.e. Troponin levels, and ECG. I did have an irregular ECG and it has taken 3.5 months to get tests done. So glad it isn't an emergency.
i am finding your videos extremely helpful Dr. Gupta. Thank you.
You have helped me immensely. Your matter of fact, calm, and up to date advice has motivated me. I now plan to exercise a bit more and don't feel panicked, when I feel a pain in the area of my chest. You are doing the same for others, as well. In short, you're helping me age gracefully and carefully. You're a giver; a doer; a protector
How lovely thank you!!
I wish you a wonderful and healthy new year Marie:-)
I have enjoyed all of your videos Sanjay. They are excellent and very informative. Thank you.
one of the few to take time and share and explain his experience and time gathered knowledge , Dr sanjey .. thankyou
You are wonderful, bless your heart!!!
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, are you a Kin to Dr. Sanjay Gupta in California? You're such a Treasure! Can you move to California please?
Great overview!!! Thank You!!! Very informative.
very informative, Dr Dupta.
I should have search for this even before my youngest brother died 😔😔😔
Lucky E. Sorry for your loss
Lucky E: I'm so sorry for your lost.

@@YorkCardiology since 2 days I feel something on my throat. Middle of two colur bone. And left side chest pain but now no chest pain but I feeling haveyness and burning sensation. I never got burning sensation ever. I am suffering indigestion and bloting since few months. At the time I fall asleep at day last two days. And my heart beat slowly. And my heart suddenly beating fast like it will stop now. And felt like getting senseless .is that symptoms of heart failure or attack? I am from Bangladesh. In this lock down what can I do? Plz tell me
Would love to see you do a video on Prinzmetal angina. Most doctors and nurses in whatever ER I end up in have no clue what it is.
I am in tears and regret and guilt.
My dad complained of discomfort but i didn't encourage him to go to the doc forget the ER. He thought it was acidity too. He has heart failure now because of stemi heart attack with a 100 percent lad block.
Incredibly lucky to have him on the other hand to have him with me.
Right now looking for best treatment and care. Pls wish and pray well for him
Thanks for the information you have. Eased my worries
Hello Doc...I had to go to the Hospital not to long ago because of elevated blood pressure and heaviness in the chest. No sharp pain just felt uneasy and a little weak. I finally made it to urgent care and they did ekg. It was normal but I also know that sometimes the ekg can be misleading. He send me to the ER and a cardiac panel was done which showed no enzymes in the blood and I was send home a little later. I had no heart burn or ate spicy food the evening before. They gave me some baby aspirins and send me home.
another very informative video thank you
Thank you for this video. You are an awesome person.❤️. I love your videos!
GOOD. VERY encouraging videos. Helpful. Dr I salute you. Your way is very simple. Any person can understand easily. THANK YOU. Carry on.
Very useful, thank you Sir 😁
Another very helpful video. Thank you
Can't You have angina pain and not show up on a Ecg? Basically You are a time bomb. They put a lot in a Faith in a Ecg which can miss a lot.
how actually angina feels like?
Yes happened to me
Very true.
Hello sir, can you put some light on right branch bundle block. I have been recently detected with it. I'm 33 years old. My doctors say it is a birth defect. Is it something serious?? What should I do to cure it.? I have gone thru many of your videos. All of them valuable info to the people who are suffering. Please keep posting such videos. It helps in keeping us positive in life. Thank you sir
Just go for 2D echo and tmt test , if that’s clear then you will be okay whole life. Right bundle branch block is commonly found in healthy individuals
Heart attack no heartburn. No change in EKG but I was in the hospital so they saw it. Didn’t get pain but pressure and a bit of a burn.
Anxiety causes same symptoms
This was very helpful
thank you DOC GODBLESS ALWAYS 🙏🙏🙏

Hello Doc,I had a burning sensation in the middle of my chest this afternoon.I am 60 years old,mordid obese,take meds for diabetes,high blood,thyroid underfunction,water retention,have liver cirrosis,chronic hep. c,had weaken heart muscle issues some years ago,swollen left knee,Degenerated Scoliosis,Degenerated Disk&spinal issues.I had ate some food,which was not so warm and I begin to gag and cough and had burning in the middle of my chest(for 20-30 seconds long).I drink some water and it felt as if I was also congested with mucus in the center of my chest as well...I am tired and burnt off most of the time...and have pains and pressure on both sides(as if my bladder or kidneys were full and bloated up)...p.s. I take very strong pain meds whenever I can not take the pain anymore and I am too shift to get around and or sleep.I like to try going on a partial fast,then a water fast for a certain time.What do you recommend?I been to doctors and various hospitals,they can't really help me...
hi how are you today? did someone find out what you had
Very helpful! ❤️❤️❤️
The best thing my dad ever told me whenever I had bad pains in my chest, stomach and even my behind, was "It'll be a wandering f*rt" otherwise known as a "WF". I've often had sharp pains so bad it's taken my breath away for a short while and hurts to breath too deeply. I just remember my father's words and the pain does usually go within a minute or two. Get a good burp up if you can (or let one rip out the other end) and you should feel better! I used to hold gas in when I was dating and I got the worst WF pains ever!
Thank you Doctor for this important vedio. I have a question: is it possible to have a heart attack if you Show of symptoms like a stomach ache( the patient is 65 years old and He is a smookers, He die an operation 15 years ago which was a Katheter. Thank you
How do you know Doctor Sanjay if its heart attack or costochondritis pain?i normally have this pain/hurts under my breast😢
I have few times ECG and its normal and they do blood test for my heart and doctor said its unlikely from ur heart but truthfully i don’t trust some doctors..I need someone like you to ease my worry thinking am i gonna have heart attack?am i gonna die?im taking ramipril tho
ive got acid reflux and gerd usually when my symptoms kick off i get the discomfort near my left rib cage. horrible taste in my mouth and burning felling i was put on lansoprazole which help
Same here but I was also diagnosed of high cholesterol. This makes me miserable in distinguishing between the GERD and Heart symptoms.
Thank you very much!
Very good, and helpful thank u
Good morning dr very very useful feedback thanks एंड best wishes for दीवाली इन advance
Thank u very much Doctor i feel a little bit ok now🙏
An easy way to see if it;'s indigestion is to drink some milk or eas something that calms your stomach. Several times I was concerned I was having an MI so I drank a small amount of milk or half and half. That usually calms any indigestion and if it doesn't work,, then I would be worried.
Thanks for the info doc🙂🙂🙂🙂
My heartburn is already 2 weeks on and off. It's like a pressure pain in my chest.
Mine too :(
its gerd. its completely normal. mine lasted six months straight went away after juicing.
Thinks doc information it sometimes it do bad.
God blessed u .
Thank you.
I think i had a mild heart attack, I'm 60 yrs old male. went cut the grass weather was a little cold, I got chest pains, next day pain was still there, then my jaw start tensioning up. I don't have medical. I took hot shower didn't help. Later that night i took a hot bath and that did it, got out of tub and felt no chest pain and no tension in my jaw. If this didn't work i was going to go to hospital. woke in morning felt my jaw was really sore. not tension that good. my watch as atrial fibrillation apps show no sign. that good. I weight 167lbs height 5'7". I eat all health, i don't eat out. cook meals at home. Don't drink sodas, just water. going eat more vegs and less meat.and i don't use seed oils. but i haven't been to the gym in 9 months. time to go back. That could be the main factor. I think i was really lucky. sign to start taking better care of myself.
This is so hard for me because I deal with anxiety and panic attacks when I feel heart palpitations. Everyone I go in, they do all the test and they come back normal. Last night my husband was working (which already makes me anxious) and I ended up getting a pounding fast heart rate still below 100, right when I fell asleep and it woke me back up. I was so scared that I started shaking and felt like I was jittery through my whole body. When I was shaking I also noticed I was cold but my daughter said it was cold upstairs cause I called her up stairs. I ended up calling down and all the symptoms went away but how do I know it’s anxiety vs a heart attack.
Hello Im Les 41 had palps since 28 2020 was really bad for me had holter all the test it showed PVC but only 1% they put me on beta blocker 25mg my heart rate is 60 to 70 and still have palpitations its like my heart muscle became super sensitive to any adrenaline , and I have anxiety even little axiety will give palps yet doctors tell me Im fine lol not sure what to do anymore
@@User56561 have you tried a sleep study? This is my next step because all my test came back normal except I have less than 1% pvc (extra beats) but the doctor said this is normal.
@@fantomg100 I had the same results. Less than 1% pvcs but my cardiologist said it’s normal. She never mentioned medication. it’s just at night that I’m having a racing heart. I’m going to get a sleep study next.
its anxiety LOL.
god i wish i have just anxiety now. i have gastritis, stomach ulcers, gerd & h pylori. stomach problems cause so many heart probs...
Thank you
Dr why must we protect our hearts in winter and how must we protect,thank you
Thanks dr
Needs to be updated and reposted Dr.
I either had the worst heartburn that I have ever experienced or it was a heart attack. It is still coming and going. I have 3 kids I raise by myself and no help so I need to wait until morning. I hope it is heartburn.
My dad had a heart attack is in his 30s.. I quit smoking 5 months ago.
How are you doing now? Was everything okay?
I would get it checked
Bless you
Can u have multiple heart attacks without knowing. Cause I've been having chest pains for years but the re always says its nothing
i think that's unlikely but possible. if you did have a heart attack, it will like be very visible on ECG or troponin tests.
super unlikely. its probably anxiety or indigestion.
Hello Dr. Sanjay my Dr. Gave me sustac after my angiography. How long should I . take this medicine. I tried to contact my cardiologist but he is on leave. I am taking sustac 2.6 mg. Should I continue or leave it all together. Please suggest. With it I am also taking loprin75mg, Carveda 6.25mh twice and lipiget 10 mg once daily. Thank you
Hi
I'm 16 and I have this pain in my arms that already last for days.
I found on google that heart attack symptoms can only last for few minutes or hours.
I already had left chest pain that last for days and it spreads in my arms with some muscle spasm and twitching. I often burp and my troat feels like full of air and some liquids. My mouth also taste bitter.
Can heart attack symptoms that last for days in constant can be a cause of heart attack?
The symptoms I have is constant over a week
Does this mean
It's unlikely that I could have heart attack?
I had left chest discomfort for about 3 days
And then it started to spread in my arm and back.
I've been been anxious browsing in google and have mental breakdowns.
Tho I don't feel the chess discomfort anymore but my arms
Still feels discomfort
I still have my anxiety
Do my anxiety cause this?
I was discharged yesterday from emergency with gastric inflammation but my Simpson’s were like heart attack

Hello Dr Sanjay would love to ask a question?As my family has as history of heart problems .I was wondering if it could be genetic .I've seen a cardio consultant as getting pains in chest esg they say was normal .He told me I had most probably got costochrondritis and put me on statins which I'm reluctant to take .my mum died of heart problems which was A fib .I'm quite a concerned as I stress alot over things just like my mum .I still get the chest pain on left of my chest. Sometimes very heavy and stabbing .I do suffer with fibromyalgia, underactive thyroid and osteoarthritis and high blood pressure which is always high.Would you advise me to take these statins because I'm reluctant to take them.im on pregablin for fibro and losartan. 100mg and thyroxine 50mg .Any comments would be of great help. Thankyou sir for your wonderful videos .For your time and your help.Totally amazing Dr wish they were all like you.Thankyou from the bottom of my 💓 god bless.💖💜xx

Hi Doc my Daughter is 25yrs old & she:s complain of tightness & shortness of breath, chest discomfort at night after she finished dinner. but her ecg result is ok. What other ways we can do or to whom we could ask advice.
indigestion. I have the same thing but i have stomach ulcers, h pylori, gerd & gastritis lol
it also might be a hernia. but unlikely. i have a hernia & have shortness of breathe all the time. its most likely gerd. stomach problems can mimic so many heart problems its crazy. i was convinced for six months I had heart failure or something horrible. i just had every stomach problem ever lol
Can Afib or Aflutter cause stomach pain??
Had heart attack right artery 99 percent blocked had Stent in. But they left other blocked arteries 90 % . Why.. and my heart attack was like a feeling of my chest stabbing pain I was screaming and I'm not a complainer happens while I was asleep. No heaviness no arm discomfort jam was sore. I went to emergency day b 4 with chest pain they ran some test said no heart attack egg is normal. I felt like they dropped the ball please help why would they leave arteries 90% blocked and 50 %

Maybe you have a axiety. Because its same symptoms
I have heart burns and the acidity feeling from stomach to chest specially when I lie down. Also I burp a lot and feel gassy. Does that mean heart issue or just Gerd and indigestion.
If you wake up with pain in front and back It felt like my bones were broken 3 times it’s happened

hi I'm melissa for the past months I had fast heart most of the time it's up. well along with this I'm short of breathe at times then all throughout the day I get random stab pains in center of chest then sometimes under left breast. I've been to a cardiogist and got an echo and stress test nothing was found but this all started in august and has gotten worse. trying to figure out if chest.pain is coming from heart problem and sometimes I'm a tad dizzy or feel unsteady. so just kinda wondering what would suddenly bring on all this for a 21 year old because it is taking over my life 😑
James Smith You maybe experiencing Anxiety or symptoms of Acid Reflux. It could even be a sprain in your chest muscle. I had the same thing. I was worried and went to the doctor and they didn't find anything. Have you got it checked? Just to be safe than sorry.
James Smith Avoid eating foods with wheat and processed sugar.

But, I also feel discomfort in my chest. Sweating and pains in my arm.
My family have a history of heart problems.

Hi sanjay. I’m 18 and I have chest pain but only on the left side of my chest. It comes and goes. I might get it once and I might not get it for a few months. I’m confused if it’s heart disease. Please advice.
Thank you
Doc Sanjay excellent video and very informative. I am very thankful to you. You have somewhat eased my mind. 2 months ago I went to hospital with chest pain. The ECG showed it was fine. They kept me at hospital overnight. Blood test A&B both came back negative for heart attack. The doctors told me the pain towards the left of my upper chest and the same place in my back is most likely arthritic pain as I do have rheumatoid arthritis in my major joints. However since then I have had pain in the same place or there about and my arm/shoulder nearly everyday. I am Still a little worried. Now I have asked my doctor that I would like this checked in outpatients as I am due for abdominal surgery in around 10 months time and I'm worried in case I have a heart condition. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance ...
