I’ve decided to think of my ectopic beats as my heart laughing, and reminding me to relax and find something amusing to contemplate. I believe that taking things too seriously can shorten your life. When I shift my perspective, my bp goes down, the extra irregular beats go away and I breathe easier.
Dear Dr. York, I also have conversations with my ❤😍😜. Just a couple of months ago I fell for a handsome bunch of grapes and my Vagus Nerve went Bonkers. Within hours my old Ticker had a Sulphite tantrum and I said " STOP-IT" !! Oh wait.. I didn't mean that. L0L. I was sitting on tthe lowest shelf of a reduced section in a local store, I'm sure the Security Camera pegged me as a Shop-Lifter. I must have looked like a Snake Charmer at a Bazaar, arms dangling in a squat position, glassy eyed, I was trying to avoid the Local Ambulance Crew. Oh my, Doctor York, you are a Dream-boat. I highly respect your Wisdom, and your ability to Care and Share. ❤👍
This is so true. My Cardiologist never explains anything. He's only interested in the basics of what's going on with me today? Imagine having a Doctor like Sanjay, one you can talk to and ask anything related to the heart. Time is money for him, yet he still does it. I wish he would put them in a book to live on after he's gone.
Hello sir i am 21 year young boy And my heart beat is so much faster in the morning,when i wake up and it remain faster for like upto 1 hour, rest of the day i feel normal. I think their are 2 reason that make my heart beat fast.. . 1). I have a bad habbit of masterbation from like 7 to 8 year (and i have excessively done Masterbation for like 1.5 years currently) which make me feel lazy for 2/3 days after i masterbate. 2). And the second reason could be i have a bad routin of sleep and eating , like i start sleeping around 3 a.m(i always go to bad by 1:30 a.m. but can't sleep till 3a.m ) which i think coz of INSOMNIAC and wake up at 10 a.m and then eat milk at 11 a.m and have lauch at 2p.m. and then dinner at 8 p.m ( Will i be good or cure this problem or will i have to suffer this for my whole life☹️☹️) I m not a doctor ,so please help me by telling the reason which leads me too faster heartbeats when i wake up. Thank You🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 eagerly waiting for your Reply 😊.
You are truly AMAZING! I’ve been dealing with palpitations for 20+ years and it’s destroying my quality of life. I’m scared to exercise too much, to go hiking, to bend over etc. Your videos are truly helping to put things in perspective. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!
To all my ectopic brothers and sisters, I’m thankful to know I’m not alone, blessed to be in an era with RUclips and amazing, wonderful people like Sanjay. Literally makes me feel so Relieved to hear his wisdom and guidance. 24 years old, dealing with immense amounts of stress/ anxiety/depersonalization/derealization/depression and am sending out positive energy and gratitude to Sanjay and everyone that may struggle with this disturbance. Love you all. Wish I could hug everyone of you.
Yup. As a health anxiety patient, I first noticed skipped heart beats, paused beats while lying flat in bed, face up. When I noticed these eptopic beats, my chest tightens, it gets warm and I get panic. After watching this, I feel more at peace. God bless you Doctor
@@javiermarquez0173 ive been having Them for a year now likely due to drug use and they have not subsided. I have however learned that they are not much to Worry about, and have learned to deal with Them better
@@javiermarquez0173 - I had anxiety years ago and like the doctor said, skipping heartbeats, feeling fainted, tiredness, etc. were the cause of anxiety, fearing the unknown. Have your doctor check you out completely and if he/she says you're fine, then you're fine. Relax and stop listening to your body so much! I find that getting enough sleep and regular exercise help a lot, and if you train yourself enough, it will eventually go away. When our numbers are up, it's up regardless of what we do or how we try to avoid it. Good luck!
This is very true. I can go all day without symptoms, then I think to myself "I've had no abnormal heartbeat today" and then BAM. The PVCs immediately start up.
You have such comforting tone. Whenever I am at peak of anxiety I come back looking for your videos and I instantly feel calm. Your videos are educative informative at the same time. Thank you for your work
That's true. The minute I forget about my heart and just live life, in my body, not in my head, I don't get them. The more I focus on them or spend my day anticipating them, they occur. Further proves the mind/body correlation.
@@sovereignsoulutions6612 I used to be anxious about them so that triggered them more. Meaning I would some time wonder when they would show up and spend time anticipating them. That's when they happened. I then I changed my paradigm and started to follow this line which I read from a Warrior tenet/principle "A brave man dies once, a coward dies 1000 times". This means that the brave man will face his death once when it comes. The coward will spend his days thinking about death. I said to myself I'm a warrior, An Alpha male. I'm not a beta. So If I die I die. I don't care. I'm just going to live my life and not care about my heart. Plus also had the strong believe that I was in great health. This was further backed by medicals/blood tests. As I started to follow this philosophy the Ectopics disappeared. It's in your head unless they come with exercise then it's to do with your heart. Lastly, eat right/clean, stop bullshit like alcohol, processed foods and workout regularly and go for an early morning walk. Do mindful meditation, lower stress and try scented candles.
I started having palpatations over the summer and I still get them. It is the worst. They used to be more frequent a couple months ago but now I get one a day... but I get anxiety thinking about when they come next. Hopefully I'll just man up about it and they'll go away. I notice during the day when I'm working or just not thinking about my heart they don't happen.
This is one of the best videos I have watched in my life (and I have watched lots, lots). It is not only good in the medical way (which it is a lot to say, since nowadays doctors care more about making money than saving lives) but in the human way. It is so refreshing listening a doctor critizing diferent levels of our society like the pharmaceutical industry in such a polite manner. It is so sad that humanity became so greedy, to the point if it makes them rich they rather have sick populations than healthy and happy ones. We are making each other unhappy/unhealthy. I am so glad I had the oportunity to watch this video, no only for my physical but for my mental and emotional health. Thank you so much. This has giving me hope in humanity and in the medicine.
I think FEAR is the #1 enemy; not the ectopics. Ectopics won't kill us; but our fear might. The day we internalize and accept ectopics while minimizing the associated fear; it will be less and less disconcerting and eventually, like Dr. Gupta said, shall vanish away. The anxiety provoked by EBs are far more alarming than EBs itself. It is because we as an anxious person are self-trained to scan our heart rate and rhythms. So any change to it shall automatically trigger the anxiety. There are people who are struggling and living a productive life despite being afflicted by sinister menaces like cancer, auto-immune diseases (Muscular dystrophies, ALS, Cystic Fibrosis and others with poor prognosis) also other chronic pains i.e. Migraine, trigeminal neuralgia etc- the list is as long as my arm. Let's serve selflessly if we can; and make ourself busy in something meaningful; deep within this shall relax and self soothe us and in turn; help us curb the anxiety associated with EBs.

Bro just described me in the first 3 mins of the video. Edit, it's been exactly a day since I watched this video, and today I have had A LOT less ectopic beats. It's 100% true that the beats themselves don't feel that bad, just like a mild headache isn't that bad... it's the fear and not knowing if something more sinister might be happening to your body is what makes it so horrible. If I start worrying I have a brain tumour every time I feel a mild headache.. then I'm going to feel 10x worse just from worrying.. this is just what I need to hear and realize, thank you doc.
I experienced fluttering in my heart five times today and I started feeling that there is something seriously wrong with my heart but now having heard you, I feel relaxed. You are truly a genuine person and doctor. God bless you.
I have severe health anxiety, and I have NEVER come across a more reassuring person / video or anything in my life, Thankyou so much. Honestly Thankyou so so much
I have health anxiety as well (developed after my first panic attack last year) and that’s when I noticed the ectopics. Do u still get them? Mine usually are sporadic throughout the day but last night they became worse and idk if it’s because of my anxiety and even tho I wasn’t “panicking” u are constantly aware of them and then it’s hard to focus on anything else for sure. So maybe my anxiety made them worse or something?
@@blessedmamascorner is it better,i have same problem,i had for years digestion problems,heartburn and after panick attack last year first i devolped fast heart rate after that i have now daily ectopic heart beats even if im relaxed or when sitting sometimes 5 6 in minute and then anxiety make all worse,its only slightly better when im walking,but i dont get it is it stomach issue or anxiety or both,i had 5 ecgs chest x ray,thyroid check,all came normal,i will check for endoscopy next week becouse i think it has to do with gerd or hiatus hernia,becouse it can cause severe anxiety and heart palptation
I have lived the past 6 years of my life with anxiety. That includes hospitals, emergency room, cardiologist, pathologist, all the tests you can imagine and im only 32 years old. Heart pulputation and ectopics are in my daily routine. The moment I realized that fear everything it is much better. I hope you know you helped a lot of people. Including me! Thank you 😊 god bless you 🙏 greetings from Greece ☺️
@The Oculist if you checked by a doctor it is in your mind..stop wondering and you will see the difference in a short while...own it don't fear it.. it's yours.. see other videos about how fear affects the brain and the body. Really helpful 👍
Oh my goodness. This makes absolutely much more sense than anything I have ever heard before. I have suffered for 37 years or so and for the first time actually identified that fear has played a really big part in my ectopic beats. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom so freely. Now I will start focusing on quality of life rather than quantity.
Go out and get some exercise, that always suppresses the ectopic beats for me anyway. But then after I stop and cool down, they come right back. That goes on for one to three months, then they go away for 3 or 4 years, then come back again. It's been doing this since I was a kid, and I'm 56 now. So yeah, they're obviously harmless. But they are very, very annoying!
@@trevorjameson3213sounds just like my situation. I started having them in 2018, they lasted 3 months, then stopped. They came back in 2021 for 4 months off and and on and then stopped, and they are back now in 2024. My acid reflux seems to be bringing them on now. They are just a hurdle we have to jump over every few years. Such is life.
Brilliant information, I have had this exact problem for 24 years, been to emergency hospital many times thinking I was going to die, but over the last 6 months, I finally gave up caring about my death, it was exhausting and came to the same conclusion, in what you’re explaining, you’ve confirmed it to me,in a very articulate way, an answer my mind and body was searching for. I actually get glimpses of what life should be. The thought of my mortality and the ultimate end paralysed me for years, I can’t thank you enough for the information you have provided me, we live in a great time.
Doing a lot better after I gave up vegetable oils and sugar, great for my mental health too. I’m now 67 and feel quite positive about having a more settled heart, it’s taken about a year of cutting out oil and sugar out of my diet. Now I Can confidently exercise now with no racing or skipping heart beats. From the diet change my circulation has improved hence I’m thinking clearly and fearlessly now. Hope this helps anyone?
Usually use virgin coconut oil or animal fat. A lot more natural than vegetable oils. It took me a while to settle on this information but I think vegetable and seed oils are a slow way of poisoning myself, sugar is not too bad but it’s hard to control the intake so I was better of giving it up.
This is really true. Once I conquered my fear of ectopics by weight lifting and cardio training, I stopped focusing on my heartbeat and therefore stopped experiencing the ectopics. If you're anxious, you become more self-aware and everything seems magnified. This is evident from a biological perspective because it improves your chances of survival. An extremely anxious mind, however, is so conscious of this process that depersonalisation takes place. You feel as if you're a third party observing what's happening to you. You become out of touch with yourself and irrational fear engulfs you. The only way to reverse this, in my opinion, is to exercise, because exercise normalizes these sensations again and makes you realize that nothing bad will happen. It not only makes you stronger, it makes you FEEL stronger. And confidence is key in conquering your fear
mujaddid mudassir Ive been walking/jogging . Drinking more water and getting plenty of sleep. Trying not to focus on them. Some days I feel just a handful of PVCS and on good days which are becoming almost a norm I don’t feel any!!! Thank you Dr. and thank you GOD. The fear thing is absolutely true, No fear they have started to go away :-)
Sanjays as the expert and you as someone that had experienced them helped me through ectopics. I just wanted you to know this comment of yours has been in my mind for 4 months while I confronted the fear and got back in to cycling and running. Mine went away just like you and Sanjay said. Thinking of you trying to bust out a set of dead lifts with ectopics, made going for a run seem like nothing to worry about. Thanks Mate
I do the same and i never think about them until it just hits me. Its debilitating and feels worse if I continue to do weights, boxing and running. Im in my early 30s and rarely I am stressed, anxious and eat a balanced diet. I cleaned up my diet, kept a food dairy to see what possible triggers of my beats.. then i question myself why on earth are these happening now because in my 20s i never had these and partied like an animal and adventurous like a hobbit. Not sure if its age related but all my symptoms were all cleared after stress echo and holter study. Doctors say I have pvcs but benign. Heart structure is good. I tell him i have pvcs and skipped beats a minimum of 14 x per day. Worse when i eat pizza it or chocolate it doubles or triples. I wish was the others who dont or barely feel them. I feel them as if it hits me like a train and poof! temp rapid heart beat and back to normal and repeat. I just dont understand when doctors say its benign. It pisses me off and all i want to do is leave from that point and get a second opinion. They tell us to stay away from stimulants. I wonder if you do survey at your local starbucks of how many people have palpitations after drinking coffee.. i wonder how many would say "never"
Hey Dr. Sanjay! I'm a med student currently in my last year of med school, and I've started to have these ectopics off late, which I'm sure is because of my anxiety for the boards... I'd have to agree, even though I'm in med school and i know these ectopics are quite benign their frequency and the sudden "thud" effect out of no where really scare the life out of me. Watching these videos give me immense relief and a motivation to get back to studying and face my fears.. Thank you for being such a great doctor! You inspire me and i hope to be like you someday!
I had tears in my eyes when I watched this video. I have IBS so always facing stomach issues. When I hear something about somebody i think if that happens to me then who will look after my daughter and I feel fearful. Lately I am experiencing ectopic heartbeats and I am so frightened that I lost my sleep and appetite. I googled everything and became more anxious. But today after watching this video i am feeling so relaxed and calm. Thank you doctor, you don't know how much happiness you have given to me..... God bless you 😊
@@Beast10xX idk about her but at worse i get about 3 to 5 a minute,but if i get my mind off of it i dont have them,or when i wake up i realize i never have them until i start to wake up and think about the day ahead, so i m thinking i dont have them at all while im asleep, so maybe its all in the mind,the anxious mind is sending bad signals
@@renoraines4695 it could be but i m not convinced there something wrong in the body, i think mine came when i was doing low carb and omad and drinking a lot of water with peeing a lot, that s when i started experiencing the ectopic beats one on a night 72 h water fast since then i felt like shit but they decreased, i went to a gastro she said i have fluid in my abdomen that cause bloating now im in a cycle of blood tests see if i could find anything
@@Beast10xX it still could be stress related, like a underlying fear you have for your own health,you obviously care about your healt alot.sounds like you were doing a body cleanse
You soothed my worries. I needed to hear this. For anyone else reading this, essentially being stressed out and worried all the time releases adrenaline. Adrenaline added up is horrible for you and it is that weight you feel in your chest. Adrenaline is caused by fear and as he says, the only thing we should fear is fear itself.
You have literally mapped out the past 12 months of my life. I've had lots of tests but the best cure has been learning to relax and enjoy my life. Your videos are extremely helpful keep up the great work.
I have also noticed that, ever since quarantine started I haven't been getting enough sleep and have been noticing these weird sensations not knowing what was it until I saw this video. However I realised they were gone when I got enough good sleep
I have also found that sleep is important for me, as is daily magnesium,vitamin c, walking 10,000 steps, eating too late and dealing with my fear of these ectopics
I am blown away you have described my entire life in this 8 minute video. If only all healthcare providers were so open minded and would reassure their patient in this way there would be so much less worrying in the world. Thank you so much for making this video.
This is spot on. My heart skips beats for years and I have learned it goes away when I no longer fear them or focus on them. Its great to hear this from a heart professional

@@chiraggandhi2560 the best way to rid of it. wake up early morning for this u have to sleep early and it can be by switching your phone off . By the morning do 20min breathing exercise 100%u will get benifit from it. Breathing exercise includes bhastrika,anulom-vilom, kapalbhati, deep breath in and out and 5 minutes meditation.
Your a true blessing. I have had these skipped beats or flutters off and on for at least 7-8 years. I have suffered from health anxiety for the majority of my life. After getting tests and being told I am normal many times over the years your videos ease my fears. I may go for months without noticing these issues and then will have them repeatedly for days. Thank you for what you do! There is no one like you that I have come across.
I agree...tackle the fear. Having a spirit of fear is no fun. Jesus talked about it and how to overcome it with his unconditional love, truth, comfort and care☺
I lived with SVT from age 5 to 46, then had a successful ablation. Aside from this, I’ve been plagued with PACs and PVCs. I’ve been on every anti-arrhythmic drug to control the uncontrollable ... my mind. Thank you so much for this video. Calming my mind always changes my heart. You’ll put many minds to rest through your gentle reassurance.
I am a quality veterinarian with 29 years of practice, some of that time was in advanced emergency and critical care. I spend more time these days explaining anxiety and fear response driven manifestations of physical disease in my patients than on any other disease topic or valid health concern. There is a definitive undeniable link between anxiety and associated OCD in specific regard to GI issues and “allergy” manifestations. General immune compromise is also most often associated with anxiety as its primary etiology.
I have been on natural blood pressure, cholesterol remedy, my heart skips beat, I have been deep breathing, and it continues, what else can I do to alleviate this problem?
We should forget about Therapy of any kind for anxiety because it just reminds you of it and can make things worse. Just get on with your life, do the things you love and forget about them. Retrain your brain back to a time when you did not worry about this. In other words just live your life.
Very true Dr. The less you think about and occupy your mind with other things, the worry goes away. It's very mental. Whatever you focus on becomes bigger, like fear. Frank Calero
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
@@YorkCardiologyI think what adds to the problem of feeling PVC’s or skipped or extra beats is if that has ever turned in Afib for a person. Afib is a terrible feeling. Like a car running with a couple spark plug wires off. Then the possibility of a blood clot or stroke on top of the terrible feeling and weakness from Afib makes these pvc’s cause much more anxiety which may very well bring on an episode of Afib. Any answers to that? Have taken 25 mg of Atenolol which I hate for 25 years but my system seems to”addicted” to the drug keeping my heart rate 70-80 instead of 90-100 without it.
I've had ectopic beats for over 6 months now its been a really tuff last 2 years with the fear of covid and it has given me anxiety and fear! When my mind starts wondering i come to watch these videos and it immediately calms me down! Thank you for everything you do doctor you are amazing and really help alot of people!!
@Tri_sanu I'm doing alot better now and yes I had to change a few things to finally find some relief! They haven't completely gone away 100% but I would say about 98% better! I eliminated caffeine and alcohol and high sugary foods for a long period of time! I started sleeping at least 7 hours a night and starting taking a trace minerals along with coq10 in the afternoon and before i fell asleep I take magnesium powder! I also go to the gym lift weights and do cardio 4 times a week this has helped keep my mind and body strong and eliminate alot of the fear! Every now and then I will still feel one especially after I night of drinking or if I have alot of sugar but I dont let them scare me anymore! I do breathing exercises whenever I feel one and I know it will be okay! Hope this helps
You are really giving relief to so many people who are worries like myself. I search a lot on the internet and no one actually talks about the issues that people are actually concerned about. Thank you so so much for giving an explanation of what we are actually facing.
I really needed to hear this. I have a major FEAR of my pvcs. Even though my heart is normal. I feel like this video was directed towards me! You’re amazing. Thank you so much!!
I wake up every day and pretty much waiting for them to occur. The video has really helped my mindset as had ecg’s etc and last big episode went to A&E but fine as soon as discharged they stopped so lots of mind over matter. Thank you all😊

This was such wise counsel. And I know it’s true. Every time I’ve gotten into a cycle of dysrhythmia after having been to the cardiologist and know that my heart is fine, it’s always my fear that feeds it and I must get myself out of the cycle that I’m in right now.❤❤❤
My ectopic beats appear shortly after eating and during exercise, or even minimal exertion. I’ve gotten used to them, so I no longer have anxiety when I get them. However they bother me greatly. Some days they last all day long, other days, only while or after eating, exercise and disappear shortly after. I’m beyond exhausted, they impacted my quality of life :(
After a bad day full of ectopic beats, I discovered this doctor and his videos. I was literally crying with relief listening to him explain everything to me! Love him, and wish we had him here in the United States!
Thank you for your support- it would mean a tonne if you’d consider subscribing to the channel. Also I try and do some regular broadcasts via WhatsApp on +44795131008
My cardiologist - told me I had Afib and ectopic heart beats - but I Didn’t Even Know!!!! Damn it - until they told me - now I am turmoil!! I have no shortness of breath, no dizzy spells, and no pain!! I do everything - but now I spend all night listening for my heart beat!! Last night - I checked my wrist pulse about 5 times!!! Every little stomach growl or gas pain - I am panicking - and I don’t have anxiety!! Well…. Now I do! Thanks
I listen to your videos whenever I feel my anixety coming on. Thank you so much you've saved me countless trip to the doctors. You taking the time to make these videos has saved lives bless you.
Great video and so true! Someone once said that FEAR is False Expectations Appearing Real. Love your videos doctor, I wish you were my cardiologist, unfortunately I live in the USA, lol. God bless you sir!
Tman NC I agree. I wish there were more Dr.s in the USA like him. Ones that truly care, research, and teach instead of here is a pill take it see ya in a year.
I'm 34. I've been training all my life. I have had ectopy all of my adult life. A holter exam I did revealed I could get over 6000 supraventricular beats/ day, mostly when I was resting. I did start medication to help manage arythmia, but the very notion of knowing vs not knowing the cause (fear and anxiety being a HUGE part of it) did drop that number. Great video, I suscribed to your channel because my cardiologist doesnt bother explaining all of this to me. Thank you
@Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat First, go see a your Doctor. Second try finding the source of it: stress, alcohol, caffeine, etc. then reduce it. This channel helped me a lot understanding the problem because in my country, doctors are overwhelmed and dont bother taking time to explain. I got to change cardiologist because the first one didnt care much and only cared prescribing me pills which were making it worst (Betablockers etc). Try all natural solutions before pills. The thing is: unless you have an underlying medical condition, there is not much a doctor can do for ectopic beats. So eliminate the underlying condition. With the second cardiologist I saw we ran all test there are possible. In my case there is nothing alarming with my heart per his words. I dont need to take medication. Just that helped my case because I knew the heart was OK. For my case since I tend to havel low heartbeats while resting (low 40's/min) I am very susceptible to an ectopic beat in between. I lowered considerably my consumption of alchol and caffeine. When I have a crisis (that is several ectopic beats per minute for a prolonged period like an hour), I go take a jog or walk or I train. I found out that when my heartbeats are faster I dont have as much ectopic beats. It helps with the stress and removing the focus on it. The fear of having ectopic beats actually triggers them and it spirals down. At night while sleeping is when I have most of them. In my case after a 3 week vacation I took in 2019 (that was before COVID), my ectopic beats kind of reduced considerably. So really, it's a thing. Try getting your head elsewhere. I still have some but at much lower frequency. When I noticed my lifestyle was in control of them, it started to go better. It spiralled-up too. Now I can go for several month with almost no percetible ectopic beats. That is from someone who had 6000 to 8000 per day.
@@sovereignsoulutions6612 I felt them throat, all left side of my body too. I felt them in my vision. When resting on the left side, that is when I feel them most because the heart is closest to rib cage. It's a rush of blood.
This is 100% very true I used to have 6,000-7,000 ectopics per day and was very fearful that I might die. Now I get ectopics just ONCE a month and worst case scenario 10 in a month. All that changed was that i became less afraid and eventually the ectopics all but disappeared.
I’ve been dealing with palpitations since Oct when I got my second dose of Moderna. They are bothersome and uncomfortable but I have been told from ER and cardiologist and my dr that I am healthy and they are anxiety related. I’ve been trying to work on them and get rid of them. I’m tired of having them. Thank you for sharing.
They are horrible. I once had them for 2 days straight, literally one after another. My heart felt like it was stopping every 5th beat or so. I then went the cardiologist route: blood tests for diabetes and cholesterol, EKG, wore a Holter monitor for a week, then a stress test and echocardiogram. All normal. He told me to calm down and go see a psych for my anxiety. I still am getting them sporadically and am sometimes afraid to even move as they might bring them on. I hope that my life gets easier and I don't have to worry so much anymore so that my anxiety gets under control.
I love the videos. When I get the anxiety coming on and begin to get the heart flutters and skipped beat I watch one of the videos and I get relaxed.Lost my husband a year ago he was 62 and he passed away suddenly of congestive heart failure. Dealing with the loss and all the emotions, I will feel a flutter and then panic sets in and gets worse and I think about the night my world came apart and it's like God I don't want to die.I watch the video and calm down and the flutters stop.
Christmas Day 2020. Dealing with increased palpitations and a few episodes of AFib. It's been a Covid year, and you're so right. Fear, anxiety, depression, and irregular heart rhythm, is a vicious cycle. Will watch this video many times. Praying it'll help. 🙏🙏🙏
You are spot on as always! I absolutely believe that my health-related anxiety is the root cause of my ectopic heart beats and any other condition I have. So you're right, our health issues will disappear once we ditch the fear! Love you and your wonderful videos! Thank you!
I suffered for years with ectopic beats, with episodes ranging from one every few minutes to every other beat. Tried all sorts of things to cure them, magnesium, relaxation techniques, diet, ect and have finally rid them by simply going for a 10min jog each morning. Within 2 weeks of doing this they were gone and I can't quite believe it....I feel like I have my life back. To anyone suffering I suggest giving this a go. Sure it takes a little effort but the rewards are (in my case at least) so worth it!
All your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with ectopic beats for months now and only after watching this video I feel kind of okay with it and I don’t feel like I’m gonna die! 🙏🏻
Thank you Dr. I’ve had these ectopics (and one episode of a-fib) for over 45 years and boy do I fear them. My symptoms can last continually for days at a time and I can not sleep because my stomach flips on every beat. Your advice is very comforting so thank you again. I have had test and heart is strong.
FEAR made me have panic attacks.....and when I actually SPOKE to the fear of panic...along came the ectopics.....I dont give diddly......Ihave it dead and gone and I continue with mag tabs and life is good and not of fear...Yhere is an opening after the tunnel!!!!!
I could not be more grateful for stumbling across this. I have suffered ectopic heartbeats for about 3 years now and they have constantly worried me. I have had a complete check up of my heart with a cardiologist here in Sydney, and quoting his words, I have a "beautiful heart". I mentioned my skipped heartbeats which happen consistently..mostly at night when I'm lying down..and he dismissed them as something not to worry about. Watching your video, I know realise they started when I had to move my mother with Dementia and my father into a nursing home. It was the most stressful time I have experienced in my life, and their well being has consumed me ever since. I'm sure it's this constant stress and the fear of them getting worse which has consumed me and caused my ectopics. Just listening to your video reassures me that I'm not going to drop dead, and I need to take care of myself and try and lift the cloud of fear that has followed me for the past couple of years. Thank you!
I have gone thru so many articles, RUclips videos regarding various types of situations that I hv faced in my life, but never ever met such a humble, simple and very friendly doctor like you. You hv erased lot of confusions about my heart health. Thanks a lot, God bless you, wherever you are.
I am very grateful to this doctor for putting this video out here. Several years ago I started feeling ectopic heart beats and it freaked me out. In my quest to understand what was going on, I found this video. And sure enough, after following his advice, the ectopic beats have indeed disappeared since then. This video popped up in my RUclips feed after years so I am taking the opportunity to express my gratitude to this doctor. Thank you for reading this and I hope you get rid of them forever too.
Thank you very much. I'm 35, suffer from health anxiety and was just out in my garden and had an ectopic beat. I haven't felt one for a while and it scared me. It felt like my heart was going to stop beating. I've had all the scans and checks done by various GP's and cardiologists which all come back fine. But what you said about fear makes a lot of sense.
@@larryoso My heart is beating normally and all of a sudden you notice that it pauses for a second (which feels like a lot longer in the moment as you wait for the next beat) and then it does a very heavy beat to make up for the missed beat.
I was born with a hole in my heart between the top two chambers and didn't know it till I was 40yrs old. That's when I started to have problems. I had open heart surgery to repair it. After that surgery I started to have panic all the time and still do. I felt so helpless knowing that things could be going on internally that are harmful to you yet you won't even know it. I have Afib now and doctors always have me wear heart monitors for a certain period of time and afterwards tell me there is nothing serious going on. The fear is really effecting the quality of my life and I thank you for this video. I don't think most doctors even think about fear as a factor.
I don't know how much to thank you for the third time in my life. Stress and anxiety at high levels result in irregular beats and freaks the s out of me and juat by watching tour videos it goes away.
This information is so spot-on. I suffered for years from heart palpitations. I considered ablations and other allopathic remedies but choose to find a more natural root. your videos have been so helpful. Also, reading the books by Austin Wintergreen has been extremely helpful to me and my heart palpitations. After years of being clustered in my home and unable to do anything because of my heart, I am now able to enjoy the world. What a blessing!
Needed to hear this! I’ve been suffering from a lot of PVC’s this year, induced by Covid and fear of it and really fear of everything right now! Best piece of advise I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you so much for this!
@@iamgoldsales4948 Likewise, I had Covid in December and these started about two weeks later. I've had all the usual tests and am waiting for the results. I do notice that on days I feel calmer the the frequency is less. Fear is so powerful!
I have returned to this video after suffering from ectopic heartbeats for over three years. I got multiple ekgs, bloodwork, a couple stress tests, and echocardiograms. All normal. I finally went to therapy and confronted the root of my anxiety -- the REAL cause of my fears... and it's now been five months since I had one. Once in a while I may feel a subtle ectopic beat when I'm super stressed or having an anxiety attack, but they're *so much* more controlled now. I finally feel like I have my life back, Dr. Thank you for comforting me throughout these years and for providing education about these scary symptoms. IT IS POSSIBLE for them to lessen or stop altogether ❤️
How to thank you sir, for months I was suffering from cardiophobia and what news channels have been reporting people suddenly dropping dead at Gyms, at parties while dancing. I had literally stopped doing everything and went into depression. I also developed digestive system issues. Everything that you have said today has hit me like a remedy. I was literally asking God to help me know the cause of my panic attacks and ectopics. You have helped me a lot. Life was so much better without fear a couple months ago and it's gonna be the same. God bless you. I don't have words to thank you.
This is absolutely refreshing. I was considering on going to the hospital just now, I'm in my early 30's and after some research, apparently being dehydrated, having a bit of alcohol and caffeine all within 24 hours is a recipe to develop ectopic heart beats. Mine is an extra beat right now. The fear is legit, my uncle died in his sleep from a heart issue, so of course I'm freaking out all the time. This all makes so much sense! I'm focusing on hydration, no caffeine and no sugar to get my life back on track. I have to make better choices and this video was so incredibly helpful!
Alcohol is about the worst thing you can put in your body for ectopic beats, and it also causes VT (ventricular tachicardia). Just try laying off the sugar, stay hydrated, and eat some type of nuts every single night (for the magnesium). I recently read a very large, long term scientific study about the effects of caffeine and ectopic beats. They concluded that caffeine does NOT increase the number or incidence of ectopic beats. Sort of counter-intuitive, but according to this large study, it's true. I had quit caffeine years ago, but I still got ectopic beats. Now that I've read the results of that study, I'm having coffee and tea again!
Back in 2014 at 23 years of age I experienced my first heart palpitation or what I can describe as a single thud in my chest. It really scared the shit out of me. My mind was running with thoughts of what you're describing. I saw a cardiologist had a ecg done and was clear of a heart attack. I used a holter monitor to record what I was feeling and the times that I felt the thud they said nothing showed. I also had a echocardiogram and was told that I have a healthy normal heart. But still I was scared. I ended up moving on and dealt with the thuds. Fast forward to 2018 and I am feeling them even more than ever and am now going to see my cardiologist again. And again the thoughts of death and leaving my family flood my mind. I will see him next week and will go through the same test but am very thankful for your videos. I can't say how amazing it is to have a cardiologist have a RUclips channel. Very selfless and it is much appreciate. Thank you for the videos and support. I pretty sure I'm not going to die from a heart attack but I definitely appreciate your reassurance.
Hi can i ask how you got on with your 2nd visit to the cardiologist. I have ectopics and have had the same visits to hospital but showed up a healthy heart only to still have the ectopics. I thought maybe it was my high blood pressure and subsequently was a side effect from my meds but was told no by my doctor and basically just to put up with my ectopics and as aren't life threatening. Would be interested in knowing how you got on.
Had ectopics for 30 years had all the usual tests they just say your heart is ok u will have to put up with them I'm talking about 20 ectopics per min and out of breath docs in ae say IV gotta put up with them they are useless and so is my own doc IV even asked them for a pacemaker and they say no so it must be about money because IV tried everything
Hey Jordan I feel you man I’m going through something similar. I’m 22 and I saw a cardiologist back in July. He diagnosed me with ectopic beats but with no probable cause. I’m healthy on paper and had a ekg and sonogram and was placed on a 24 hour heart monitor. The doc gave me a low dose anti-arrhythmic pill and told me not to worry since nothing is stopping my heart from beating. He even told me that he has been seeing people around my age with the same symptoms but they don’t know what’s causing it but it’ll disappear. In a sense like Dr. Gupta says you just need to tackle your fear I’ve done it and I’ve seen improvement. I also have gastritis so that also seems to affect when i have a flare up
@@EpilepticZebra49 u r right, I recently had a bad flare up of gastric problems and got really bad palpitations along with that sick acid reflux condition. So somehow they are related and sometimes I cannot tell them from nausea because the nausea has a queasy quivering sensation and burning mixed in. How are you doing now?
Thank you. I was rushed to the Emergency Hospital last night due to high blood pressure and my ECG result got some abnormality. The doctor in E.R asked me to transfer to another hospital with cardiology specialist. On my way riding an ambulance for the first time in my 36 years of life. I came to realized what I fear the most, dying. I occasionally drink but I return from smoking after only a few months of quitting. I completely stopped my workouts which I regularly doing when I quit smoking. After watching this video, it enlightened me. It is not about me anymore. It is about me living for the sake of my love ones. I need to change, I need to turn my life and get better. I don't need to fear death. I can do something about it now. Thank you.
You're the most empathetic doctor I have ever listened to, and believe me, I study this type of thing as a hobby. The only negative you have is that you're too far from me to be my heart doctor. Please, please keep doing what you're doing.
This is amazing. My sister died suddenly 6 years ago of SCAD. I got a full work up after but have been very anxious. I have done a lot of therapy that has helped but I worry all the time about my ectopic beats. This video helped me so much. Thank you!
Thanks Sanjay, I had ectopic beats and was so worried about having a heart attack. After watching this video and after having them checked by my cardiologist, I decided to confront the fear. I started jogging again and as bad as it sounds I was saying to my self while jogging "I dont give a F@*!K+% if i die on the pavement here" I would rather that than live in fear all my life. I jogged and kept jogging. After about a month they got less frequent to the point they now have gone away. Your advice about not having fear is 100% correct. I also believe the fresh air and exercise helped my mental state as well. Thanks so much. All the way from Australia
Hope you see my message. I know It’s been two years since you posted this comment. I’ve been feeling the same and am afraid of exercising because noticing my heart beats makes me pánic but reading about people who are going through the same thing and have gotten better make me feel hopeful. As of now, how are you feeling?
@@elviagranados7752 Hi I’m in the same situation. I’ve found that brisk walking helps reduce my ectopics by 95% and it takes them a few hours to come back. But I have not yet decided to run yet. How are you feeling now?
You have helped me immensely. Fear was ruling my life and I have nearly gotten rid of the fear. Now when I have ectopics I am pretty much able to ignore them and so have far fewer of them. Your videos also educated me about the connection between the GI tract/vagal nerve and PVC's. I have done a lot of research and have found ways to control them 90% of the time. Thank you so much for improving the quality of my life. I hope to meet you sometime. I wish I could get to your seminar in NY but it isn't possible. Hoping you will come to our beautiful state of Arizona one day. Bless you.
I could’ve written this post! He has helped me so much regarding the GI Tract/vagus nerve. I’m in AZ. As well. Glad to hear you are doing better! What a blessing this Doctor is and how sad there isn’t more like Him! 🙏
hi,how do you control yours pvc,i have them from last year daily,i tried all magnesium potassium etc,it helps but they come back,now i have sometimes 5 6 in minute and that make me more anxious,do you take some medicine or natural herbs,also i have digestion problems with constipation ibs and heartburn and i think to its all stomach issue
God bless you. I’ve struggled with the fear of ectopic heartbeats for a few years. But I’ve also struggled with anxiety disorder for much longer. Everything you’ve said in this video explained my thoughts, I’ve been getting counseling and have been also getting closer to God and I’ve been doing much better these days. Thank you for sharing this information, it really gave me comfort.
Just what I NEED TO HEAR today, you made so much sense!!! I will try everyday from now on, and live a happy life!! Your message may have just saved my life!!!!! ❤
Many, many thanks, Doctor. I've recently discovered your videos and you are a God-send. I've recently been diagnosed with Afib. My episodes are intermittent and happen when I am gassy. Your videos have been a huge help in understanding this issue. This video, in particular, has been most helpful because I've often felt so overwhelmed with fear because of this AFib. ❤
We were created to live in peace not fear. We appreciate your encouragement and knowledge. ⭐️ You are a true Doctor. We must understand the root to heal and walk in a better mental/spiritual health as it effects the whole body. I enjoy your teaching and health care approach.
Thank you so much for your gentle and kindly information. I now realise I've had ectopic heartbeat for many many years. When I finally sought help from my gp I was given heartburn meds which I new I didn't need. You have now put my mind at rest. Thank you again.
I am so grateful for you Dr. Gupta. Thank you for this video. I wish all doctors were like you! I feel like you just read me like a book. A good reminder to stop worrying about my ectopic because that is what is causing them! I also love the reminder of not worrying about dying and how this worry can really interfere with quality of life. Let's focus on the now and how wonderful today is. Thank you so so much. I am forever grateful for you.
I have been looking for this exact description for 30 yrs… u really have saved me!! After so many doctors visits, and dealing with bad health anxiety almst all my life… this is the best news ever… THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for making these videos! God has truly blessed me with your message. Aging parents have put a huge strain on us and my anxiety and has been through the roof... I have been experiencing these ectopic beats for the last few months and even made an appointment with a cardiologist. I'm 58, fit and exercise regularly so I know my heart is healthy, but these weird beats worry me. Not anymore! I'm ignoring them and moving forward. The Good Lord will decide when I go, and until then I'm going to love my life. ❤
Thank you. You are spot on. I have experienced ectopic episodes for several years, that are followed by tachycardia that lasts sometimes for hours. My GP is dismissive of my views that attribute my condition to stomach problems and hiatus hernia. I have not been near the surgery now for three years as I have no confidence or trust on them, mainly due to their blind reliance on drugs that only address the symptoms and not the cause. I have researched and found your good self. My conclusion is that it is the fear coupled with poor diet that cause my condition and I have increased exercise and stopped eating sugar and reduced carbs, whilst increasing fat and meat. The strategy seems to be working well. Thank you for thinking ‘ out of the box’ and for your commitment to the people. You are a credit and a welcome change from the doctors I have come across recently.
Wow!!! Just wow!!! I’m just blessed to have watched this video. I started having palpitations three years ago. I also have anxiety. Five weeks ago I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia and my anxiety kicked in. After five weeks I still take the blood pressure medication and my doctor wants to medicate me for life. I believe it has to do a lot with my inability to control my anxiety. What you said about fear made me cry because it’s so true. I just have to rewire my brain to believe that. So far the best video on the internet!!
I’ve decided to think of my ectopic beats as my heart laughing, and reminding me to relax and find something amusing to contemplate. I believe that taking things too seriously can shorten your life. When I shift my perspective, my bp goes down, the extra irregular beats go away and I breathe easier.
I just started having PVCs a week and a half ago. This video helped me tremendously
Dear Dr. York, I also have conversations with my ❤😍😜. Just a couple of months ago I fell for a handsome bunch of grapes and my Vagus Nerve went Bonkers. Within hours my old Ticker had a Sulphite tantrum and I said " STOP-IT" !! Oh wait.. I didn't mean that. L0L.
I was sitting on tthe lowest shelf of a reduced section in a local store, I'm sure the Security Camera pegged me as a Shop-Lifter. I must have looked like a Snake Charmer at a Bazaar, arms dangling in a squat position, glassy eyed, I was trying to avoid the Local Ambulance Crew. Oh my, Doctor York, you are a Dream-boat.
I highly respect your Wisdom, and your ability to Care and Share. ❤👍
That’s good!
Love your attitude
And humor
I love this advice. Thanks you
I’ve learned more from you in nine minutes than I have from my cardiologist in three years.
Very useful
This is so true. My Cardiologist never explains anything. He's only interested in the basics of what's going on with me today? Imagine having a Doctor like Sanjay, one you can talk to and ask anything related to the heart. Time is money for him, yet he still does it. I wish he would put them in a book to live on after he's gone.
He is amazing but it can be said, isn't so sad how fucked up the industry is?
@@peggymicsky8607 mine just says that everyone gets them and that it’s normal. Thanks, doc.
@@angelwings1 yep. They all say that. Whether you pay big money or not!
this doctor is a true healer.
Karthika R S I agree 100%
Amen
So true. So very true.
Hello sir i am 21 year young boy
And my heart beat is so much faster in the morning,when i wake up and it remain faster for like upto 1 hour, rest of the day i feel normal.
I think their are 2 reason that make my heart beat fast.. .
1). I have a bad habbit of masterbation from like 7 to 8 year (and i have excessively done Masterbation for like 1.5 years currently) which make me feel lazy for 2/3 days after i masterbate.
2). And the second reason could be i have a bad routin of sleep and eating , like i start sleeping around 3 a.m(i always go to bad by 1:30 a.m. but can't sleep till 3a.m ) which i think coz of INSOMNIAC and wake up at 10 a.m and then eat milk at 11 a.m and have lauch at 2p.m. and then dinner at 8 p.m
( Will i be good or cure this problem or will i have to suffer this for my whole life☹️☹️)
I m not a doctor ,so please help me by telling the reason which leads me too faster heartbeats when i wake up.
Thank You🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 eagerly waiting for your Reply 😊.
On god
You are truly AMAZING! I’ve been dealing with palpitations for 20+ years and it’s destroying my quality of life. I’m scared to exercise too much, to go hiking, to bend over etc. Your videos are truly helping to put things in perspective. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!
How r u doing now????did anything worked??plz share
This is the doctor everyone should have... What a gifted teacher!
To all my ectopic brothers and sisters, I’m thankful to know I’m not alone, blessed to be in an era with RUclips and amazing, wonderful people like Sanjay. Literally makes me feel so Relieved to hear his wisdom and guidance. 24 years old, dealing with immense amounts of stress/ anxiety/depersonalization/derealization/depression and am sending out positive energy and gratitude to Sanjay and everyone that may struggle with this disturbance. Love you all. Wish I could hug everyone of you.
Amen to what you said!
Have you tried magnesium? 200mg a day has helped me immensely.
Sending a hug back... check out Jordan Peterson videos
Big hugs right back to you!
❤
Yup. As a health anxiety patient, I first noticed skipped heart beats, paused beats while lying flat in bed, face up. When I noticed these eptopic beats, my chest tightens, it gets warm and I get panic.
After watching this, I feel more at peace.
God bless you Doctor
I’m currently dealing with them did they eventually go away
Same with you
@@javiermarquez0173 ive been having Them for a year now likely due to drug use and they have not subsided. I have however learned that they are not much to Worry about, and have learned to deal with Them better
@@javiermarquez0173 - I had anxiety years ago and like the doctor said, skipping heartbeats, feeling fainted, tiredness, etc. were the cause of anxiety, fearing the unknown. Have your doctor check you out completely and if he/she says you're fine, then you're fine. Relax and stop listening to your body so much! I find that getting enough sleep and regular exercise help a lot, and if you train yourself enough, it will eventually go away. When our numbers are up, it's up regardless of what we do or how we try to avoid it. Good luck!
Magnesium Magnesium Magnesium great for ectopics TRY IT !!!!
This is very true. I can go all day without symptoms, then I think to myself "I've had no abnormal heartbeat today" and then BAM. The PVCs immediately start up.
Yes. Same happens with me
This always happens to me the moment I think there going to start ,they do, the mind is a powerful thing.
Yes same to me 😂😃😃😄😆
SAME
I am so thankful I read this comment! This happens to me as well. Beginning to think I'm going crazy!!
I am an Ophthalmologist for last 20 years. That was an awesome lecture. Keep going world needs more doctors like you. GOD BLESS you
You have such comforting tone. Whenever I am at peak of anxiety I come back looking for your videos and I instantly feel calm. Your videos are educative informative at the same time. Thank you for your work
This man is a godsend and the epitome of what a doctor should be. A compassionate healer with a healthy perspective! Kudos to you from the US!
That's true. The minute I forget about my heart and just live life, in my body, not in my head, I don't get them. The more I focus on them or spend my day anticipating them, they occur. Further proves the mind/body correlation.
Bro this is exactly what happens with me, your words re assure me!
How true my friend I'm the same !!
Do you ever notice that you have unconscious fear that triggers them?
@@sovereignsoulutions6612 I used to be anxious about them so that triggered them more. Meaning I would some time wonder when they would show up and spend time anticipating them. That's when they happened. I then I changed my paradigm and started to follow this line which I read from a Warrior tenet/principle "A brave man dies once, a coward dies 1000 times". This means that the brave man will face his death once when it comes. The coward will spend his days thinking about death. I said to myself I'm a warrior, An Alpha male. I'm not a beta. So If I die I die. I don't care. I'm just going to live my life and not care about my heart. Plus also had the strong believe that I was in great health. This was further backed by medicals/blood tests. As I started to follow this philosophy the Ectopics disappeared. It's in your head unless they come with exercise then it's to do with your heart. Lastly, eat right/clean, stop bullshit like alcohol, processed foods and workout regularly and go for an early morning walk. Do mindful meditation, lower stress and try scented candles.
I started having palpatations over the summer and I still get them. It is the worst. They used to be more frequent a couple months ago but now I get one a day... but I get anxiety thinking about when they come next. Hopefully I'll just man up about it and they'll go away. I notice during the day when I'm working or just not thinking about my heart they don't happen.
This is one of the best videos I have watched in my life (and I have watched lots, lots). It is not only good in the medical way (which it is a lot to say, since nowadays doctors care more about making money than saving lives) but in the human way. It is so refreshing listening a doctor critizing diferent levels of our society like the pharmaceutical industry in such a polite manner. It is so sad that humanity became so greedy, to the point if it makes them rich they rather have sick populations than healthy and happy ones. We are making each other unhappy/unhealthy. I am so glad I had the oportunity to watch this video, no only for my physical but for my mental and emotional health. Thank you so much. This has giving me hope in humanity and in the medicine.
I think FEAR is the #1 enemy; not the ectopics. Ectopics won't kill us; but our fear might. The day we internalize and accept ectopics while minimizing the associated fear; it will be less and less disconcerting and eventually, like Dr. Gupta said, shall vanish away. The anxiety provoked by EBs are far more alarming than EBs itself. It is because we as an anxious person are self-trained to scan our heart rate and rhythms. So any change to it shall automatically trigger the anxiety. There are people who are struggling and living a productive life despite being afflicted by sinister menaces like cancer, auto-immune diseases (Muscular dystrophies, ALS, Cystic Fibrosis and others with poor prognosis) also other chronic pains i.e. Migraine, trigeminal neuralgia etc- the list is as long as my arm.
Let's serve selflessly if we can; and make ourself busy in something meaningful; deep within this shall relax and self soothe us and in turn; help us curb the anxiety associated with EBs.
It's a bonus having a cardiologist doin videos helps tenfold .

Bro just described me in the first 3 mins of the video. Edit, it's been exactly a day since I watched this video, and today I have had A LOT less ectopic beats. It's 100% true that the beats themselves don't feel that bad, just like a mild headache isn't that bad... it's the fear and not knowing if something more sinister might be happening to your body is what makes it so horrible. If I start worrying I have a brain tumour every time I feel a mild headache.. then I'm going to feel 10x worse just from worrying.. this is just what I need to hear and realize, thank you doc.
I experienced fluttering in my heart five times today and I started feeling that there is something seriously wrong with my heart but now having heard you, I feel relaxed. You are truly a genuine person and doctor. God bless you.
I have severe health anxiety, and I have NEVER come across a more reassuring person / video or anything in my life, Thankyou so much. Honestly Thankyou so so much
I have health anxiety as well (developed after my first panic attack last year) and that’s when I noticed the ectopics. Do u still get them? Mine usually are sporadic throughout the day but last night they became worse and idk if it’s because of my anxiety and even tho I wasn’t “panicking” u are constantly aware of them and then it’s hard to focus on anything else for sure. So maybe my anxiety made them worse or something?
@@blessedmamascorner is it better,i have same problem,i had for years digestion problems,heartburn and after panick attack last year first i devolped fast heart rate after that i have now daily ectopic heart beats even if im relaxed or when sitting sometimes 5 6 in minute and then anxiety make all worse,its only slightly better when im walking,but i dont get it is it stomach issue or anxiety or both,i had 5 ecgs chest x ray,thyroid check,all came normal,i will check for endoscopy next week becouse i think it has to do with gerd or hiatus hernia,becouse it can cause severe anxiety and heart palptation
You ok?
I have lived the past 6 years of my life with anxiety. That includes hospitals, emergency room, cardiologist, pathologist, all the tests you can imagine and im only 32 years old. Heart pulputation and ectopics are in my daily routine. The moment I realized that fear everything it is much better. I hope you know you helped a lot of people. Including me! Thank you 😊 god bless you 🙏 greetings from Greece ☺️
You can do it!
@The Oculist if you checked by a doctor it is in your mind..stop wondering and you will see the difference in a short while...own it don't fear it.. it's yours.. see other videos about how fear affects the brain and the body. Really helpful 👍
@The Oculist positive thoughts, everything is going to be alright.. but after you have some job to do with your mind🤞💪👍
I could’ve written your story ... but I’m 53 ... praying for your healing
@@jocelyngail4196 🙏🏻💪
Thrilled that a highly qualified medical professional has adopted a holistic approach, choosing love over fear. May you be blessed!
Oh my goodness. This makes absolutely much more sense than anything I have ever heard before. I have suffered for 37 years or so and for the first time actually identified that fear has played a really big part in my ectopic beats. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom so freely. Now I will start focusing on quality of life rather than quantity.
Go out and get some exercise, that always suppresses the ectopic beats for me anyway. But then after I stop and cool down, they come right back. That goes on for one to three months, then they go away for 3 or 4 years, then come back again. It's been doing this since I was a kid, and I'm 56 now. So yeah, they're obviously harmless. But they are very, very annoying!
@@trevorjameson3213sounds just like my situation. I started having them in 2018, they lasted 3 months, then stopped. They came back in 2021 for 4 months off and and on and then stopped, and they are back now in 2024. My acid reflux seems to be bringing them on now. They are just a hurdle we have to jump over every few years. Such is life.
Brilliant information, I have had this exact problem for 24 years, been to emergency hospital many times thinking I was going to die, but over the last 6 months, I finally gave up caring about my death, it was exhausting and came to the same conclusion, in what you’re explaining, you’ve confirmed it to me,in a very articulate way, an answer my mind and body was searching for. I actually get glimpses of what life should be. The thought of my mortality and the ultimate end paralysed me for years, I can’t thank you enough for the information you have provided me, we live in a great time.
How are you? Same here but this is new to me been 1 month now feel skipped beat.
I feel the exact same way.
Doing a lot better after I gave up vegetable oils and sugar, great for my mental health too. I’m now 67 and feel quite positive about having a more settled heart, it’s taken about a year of cutting out oil and sugar out of my diet. Now I Can confidently exercise now with no racing or skipping heart beats. From the diet change my circulation has improved hence I’m thinking clearly and fearlessly now. Hope this helps anyone?
@@martincameron7425 what do you cook with then?
Usually use virgin coconut oil or animal fat. A lot more natural than vegetable oils. It took me a while to settle on this information but I think vegetable and seed oils are a slow way of poisoning myself, sugar is not too bad but it’s hard to control the intake so I was better of giving it up.
This is really true. Once I conquered my fear of ectopics by weight lifting and cardio training, I stopped focusing on my heartbeat and therefore stopped experiencing the ectopics. If you're anxious, you become more self-aware and everything seems magnified. This is evident from a biological perspective because it improves your chances of survival. An extremely anxious mind, however, is so conscious of this process that depersonalisation takes place. You feel as if you're a third party observing what's happening to you. You become out of touch with yourself and irrational fear engulfs you. The only way to reverse this, in my opinion, is to exercise, because exercise normalizes these sensations again and makes you realize that nothing bad will happen. It not only makes you stronger, it makes you FEEL stronger. And confidence is key in conquering your fear
I've dealt with this reality so bad lately 😔
Which exercise is best??
mujaddid mudassir Ive been walking/jogging . Drinking more water and getting plenty of sleep. Trying not to focus on them.
Some days I feel just a handful of PVCS and on good days which are becoming almost a norm I don’t feel any!!! Thank you Dr. and thank you GOD. The fear thing is absolutely true,
No fear they have started to go away :-)
Sanjays as the expert and you as someone that had experienced them helped me through ectopics. I just wanted you to know this comment of yours has been in my mind for 4 months while I confronted the fear and got back in to cycling and running.
Mine went away just like you and Sanjay said. Thinking of you trying to bust out a set of dead lifts with ectopics, made going for a run seem like nothing to worry about. Thanks Mate
I do the same and i never think about them until it just hits me. Its debilitating and feels worse if I continue to do weights, boxing and running. Im in my early 30s and rarely I am stressed, anxious and eat a balanced diet. I cleaned up my diet, kept a food dairy to see what possible triggers of my beats.. then i question myself why on earth are these happening now because in my 20s i never had these and partied like an animal and adventurous like a hobbit. Not sure if its age related but all my symptoms were all cleared after stress echo and holter study. Doctors say I have pvcs but benign. Heart structure is good. I tell him i have pvcs and skipped beats a minimum of 14 x per day. Worse when i eat pizza it or chocolate it doubles or triples. I wish was the others who dont or barely feel them. I feel them as if it hits me like a train and poof! temp rapid heart beat and back to normal and repeat. I just dont understand when doctors say its benign. It pisses me off and all i want to do is leave from that point and get a second opinion. They tell us to stay away from stimulants. I wonder if you do survey at your local starbucks of how many people have palpitations after drinking coffee.. i wonder how many would say "never"
Hey Dr. Sanjay!
I'm a med student currently in my last year of med school, and I've started to have these ectopics off late, which I'm sure is because of my anxiety for the boards...
I'd have to agree, even though I'm in med school and i know these ectopics are quite benign their frequency and the sudden "thud" effect out of no where really scare the life out of me.
Watching these videos give me immense relief and a motivation to get back to studying and face my fears.. Thank you for being such a great doctor!
You inspire me and i hope to be like you someday!
I am so glad that you are following in the pathway of a Healer! Much blessing on your studies! You are going to do great! 👍
Thank you!
Thankyou for studying to be a doctor. You will be a great, empathetic one. Sending you luck for your studies.
Top Dokter Cardiologist! Verry nice person ! Verry helpfull ! Top! Thank you ! greetings ! (Belgium)
Very true these can be scary! But often normal caused by some reason a trigger such as anxiety definitely fear of some sort..
Does your ectopics gone? How are you now? Plz rply
I had tears in my eyes when I watched this video. I have IBS so always facing stomach issues. When I hear something about somebody i think if that happens to me then who will look after my daughter and I feel fearful. Lately I am experiencing ectopic heartbeats and I am so frightened that I lost my sleep and appetite. I googled everything and became more anxious. But today after watching this video i am feeling so relaxed and calm. Thank you doctor, you don't know how much happiness you have given to me..... God bless you 😊
Hey i also have ibs and ectopics how many you get a day?
Mam I'm also experienced like yours....thank God
@@Beast10xX idk about her but at worse i get about 3 to 5 a minute,but if i get my mind off of it i dont have them,or when i wake up i realize i never have them until i start to wake up and think about the day ahead, so i m thinking i dont have them at all while im asleep, so maybe its all in the mind,the anxious mind is sending bad signals
@@renoraines4695 it could be but i m not convinced there something wrong in the body, i think mine came when i was doing low carb and omad and drinking a lot of water with peeing a lot, that s when i started experiencing the ectopic beats one on a night 72 h water fast since then i felt like shit but they decreased, i went to a gastro she said i have fluid in my abdomen that cause bloating now im in a cycle of blood tests see if i could find anything
@@Beast10xX it still could be stress related, like a underlying fear you have for your own health,you obviously care about your healt alot.sounds like you were doing a body cleanse
You soothed my worries. I needed to hear this. For anyone else reading this, essentially being stressed out and worried all the time releases adrenaline. Adrenaline added up is horrible for you and it is that weight you feel in your chest. Adrenaline is caused by fear and as he says, the only thing we should fear is fear itself.
This was very helpful.ive suffered from anxiety for so many years... anyone going through anxiety,you will be fine one day
You have literally mapped out the past 12 months of my life. I've had lots of tests but the best cure has been learning to relax and enjoy my life. Your videos are extremely helpful keep up the great work.
Hi do you get them everyday?
Have y’all got better
u r great sir ...my ectopic always disappeared whenever I see your video
I've found personally that getting enough sleep is super important for keeping ectopics at bay.
your a blessing to others thank you!
and since quarantine my sleep has been MESSED UP
Thank you for this 🤠
I have also noticed that, ever since quarantine started I haven't been getting enough sleep and have been noticing these weird sensations not knowing what was it until I saw this video. However I realised they were gone when I got enough good sleep
I have also found that sleep is important for me, as is daily magnesium,vitamin c, walking 10,000 steps, eating too late and dealing with my fear of these ectopics
I am blown away you have described my entire life in this 8 minute video. If only all healthcare providers were so open minded and would reassure their patient in this way there would be so much less worrying in the world. Thank you so much for making this video.
This is spot on. My heart skips beats for years and I have learned it goes away when I no longer fear them or focus on them. Its great to hear this from a heart professional
You are a God sent angel. Sir, you change lives by clearing the fear in people's minds. God bless you. Thank you.
Hello sir i am 21 year young boy
And my heart beat is so much faster in the morning,when i wake up and it remain faster for like upto 1 hour, rest of the day i feel normal.
I think their are 2 reason that make my heart beat fast.. .
1). I have a bad habbit of masterbation from like 7 to 8 year (and i have excessively done Masterbation for like 1.5 years currently) which make me feel lazy for 2/3 days after i masterbate.
2). And the second reason could be i have a bad routin of sleep and eating , like i start sleeping around 3 a.m(i always go to bad by 1:30 a.m. but can't sleep till 3a.m ) which i think coz of INSOMNIAC and wake up at 10 a.m and then eat milk at 11 a.m and have lauch at 2p.m. and then dinner at 8 p.m
( Will i be good or cure this problem or will i have to suffer this for my whole life☹️☹️)
I m not a doctor ,so please help me by telling the reason which leads me too faster heartbeats when i wake up.
Thank You🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 eagerly waiting for your Reply 😊.
@@chiraggandhi2560 the best way to rid of it. wake up early morning for this u have to sleep early and it can be by switching your phone off .
By the morning do 20min breathing exercise 100%u will get benifit from it. Breathing exercise includes bhastrika,anulom-vilom, kapalbhati, deep breath in and out and 5 minutes meditation.
Your a true blessing. I have had these skipped beats or flutters off and on for at least 7-8 years. I have suffered from health anxiety for the majority of my life. After getting tests and being told I am normal many times over the years your videos ease my fears. I may go for months without noticing these issues and then will have them repeatedly for days. Thank you for what you do! There is no one like you that I have come across.
I agree...tackle the fear. Having a spirit of fear is no fun. Jesus talked about it and how to overcome it with his unconditional love, truth, comfort and care☺
HE has not given us as spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

Amen 🙏🏻

Charni W I agree with you 100% but I’m still having trouble tackling the fear.
I lived with SVT from age 5 to 46, then had a successful ablation. Aside from this, I’ve been plagued with PACs and PVCs. I’ve been on every anti-arrhythmic drug to control the uncontrollable ... my mind. Thank you so much for this video. Calming my mind always changes my heart. You’ll put many minds to rest through your gentle reassurance.
How do you feel now?? Is your SVT totally cured??
I am a quality veterinarian with 29 years of practice, some of that time was in advanced emergency and critical care. I spend more time these days explaining anxiety and fear response driven manifestations of physical disease in my patients than on any other disease topic or valid health concern. There is a definitive undeniable link between anxiety and associated OCD in specific regard to GI issues and “allergy” manifestations. General immune compromise is also most often associated with anxiety as its primary etiology.
Best video ever on ectopic heartbeat topic..
My heart skips beat, I have been on natural stuff; I have been deep breathing, please help
I have been on natural blood pressure, cholesterol remedy, my heart skips beat, I have been deep breathing, and it continues, what else can I do to alleviate this problem?
On god
@@auntesmin9573 have u got better
@@javiermarquez0173 Who is this?
We should forget about Therapy of any kind for anxiety because it just reminds you of it and can make things worse. Just get on with your life, do the things you love and forget about them. Retrain your brain back to a time when you did not worry about this. In other words just live your life.
Very true Dr. The less you think about and occupy your mind with other things, the worry goes away. It's very mental. Whatever you focus on becomes bigger, like fear. Frank Calero
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
@@YorkCardiologyI think what adds to the problem of feeling PVC’s or skipped or extra beats is if that has ever turned in Afib for a person. Afib is a terrible feeling. Like a car running with a couple spark plug wires off. Then the possibility of a blood clot or stroke on top of the terrible feeling and weakness from Afib makes these pvc’s cause much more anxiety which may very well bring on an episode of Afib. Any answers to that? Have taken 25 mg of Atenolol which I hate for 25 years but my system seems to”addicted” to the drug keeping my heart rate 70-80 instead of 90-100 without it.
I've had ectopic beats for over 6 months now its been a really tuff last 2 years with the fear of covid and it has given me anxiety and fear! When my mind starts wondering i come to watch these videos and it immediately calms me down! Thank you for everything you do doctor you are amazing and really help alot of people!!
How r u doing now...??did anything helped you..plz share
@Tri_sanu I'm doing alot better now and yes I had to change a few things to finally find some relief! They haven't completely gone away 100% but I would say about 98% better! I eliminated caffeine and alcohol and high sugary foods for a long period of time! I started sleeping at least 7 hours a night and starting taking a trace minerals along with coq10 in the afternoon and before i fell asleep I take magnesium powder! I also go to the gym lift weights and do cardio 4 times a week this has helped keep my mind and body strong and eliminate alot of the fear! Every now and then I will still feel one especially after I night of drinking or if I have alot of sugar but I dont let them scare me anymore! I do breathing exercises whenever I feel one and I know it will be okay! Hope this helps
You are really giving relief to so many people who are worries like myself. I search a lot on the internet and no one actually talks about the issues that people are actually concerned about. Thank you so so much for giving an explanation of what we are actually facing.
I really needed to hear this. I have a major FEAR of my pvcs. Even though my heart is normal. I feel like this video was directed towards me! You’re amazing. Thank you so much!!
I have this now :( are you any better now? Or feel any less worried?
Me too
Have y’all felt better
I wake up every day and pretty much waiting for them to occur. The video has really helped my mindset as had ecg’s etc and last big episode went to A&E but fine as soon as discharged they stopped so lots of mind over matter. Thank you all😊
I’m going to listen to this video every day so I’ll stop worrying about dropping dead from my frequent PVCs! Thank you!!

This was such wise counsel. And I know it’s true. Every time I’ve gotten into a cycle of dysrhythmia after having been to the cardiologist and know that my heart is fine, it’s always my fear that feeds it and I must get myself out of the cycle that I’m in right now.❤❤❤
My ectopic beats appear shortly after eating and during exercise, or even minimal exertion. I’ve gotten used to them, so I no longer have anxiety when I get them. However they bother me greatly. Some days they last all day long, other days, only while or after eating, exercise and disappear shortly after. I’m beyond exhausted, they impacted my quality of life :(
Even I feel the same I’m so depressed because of this.I’m just 25 years and it effects my day so much sometime I feel why me
This Doctor is a true healer, he isn't selling anything just cures and doing it in his own time, i wish we had more like him
After a bad day full of ectopic beats, I discovered this doctor and his videos. I was literally crying with relief listening to him explain everything to me! Love him, and wish we had him here in the United States!

My cardiologist - told me I had Afib and ectopic heart beats - but I Didn’t Even Know!!!! Damn it - until they told me - now I am turmoil!! I have no shortness of breath, no dizzy spells, and no pain!! I do everything - but now I spend all night listening for my heart beat!! Last night - I checked my wrist pulse about 5 times!!! Every little stomach growl or gas pain - I am panicking - and I don’t have anxiety!!
Well…. Now I do! Thanks
Go to another doctor
I listen to your videos whenever I feel my anixety coming on. Thank you so much you've saved me countless trip to the doctors. You taking the time to make these videos has saved lives bless you.
Great video and so true! Someone once said that FEAR is False Expectations Appearing Real. Love your videos doctor, I wish you were my cardiologist, unfortunately I live in the USA, lol. God bless you sir!
You are fortunate to live in USA, man
Tman NC I agree. I wish there were more Dr.s in the USA like him. Ones that truly care, research, and teach instead of here is a pill take it see ya in a year.
@@tammy7067 more like see you in two weeks $$$$$$
I'm 34. I've been training all my life. I have had ectopy all of my adult life. A holter exam I did revealed I could get over 6000 supraventricular beats/ day, mostly when I was resting. I did start medication to help manage arythmia, but the very notion of knowing vs not knowing the cause (fear and anxiety being a HUGE part of it) did drop that number. Great video, I suscribed to your channel because my cardiologist doesnt bother explaining all of this to me. Thank you
Did you ever feel them in your throat? Like in the dent in-between the collarbone?
@Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat First, go see a your Doctor. Second try finding the source of it: stress, alcohol, caffeine, etc. then reduce it. This channel helped me a lot understanding the problem because in my country, doctors are overwhelmed and dont bother taking time to explain. I got to change cardiologist because the first one didnt care much and only cared prescribing me pills which were making it worst (Betablockers etc). Try all natural solutions before pills. The thing is: unless you have an underlying medical condition, there is not much a doctor can do for ectopic beats. So eliminate the underlying condition. With the second cardiologist I saw we ran all test there are possible. In my case there is nothing alarming with my heart per his words. I dont need to take medication. Just that helped my case because I knew the heart was OK. For my case since I tend to havel low heartbeats while resting (low 40's/min) I am very susceptible to an ectopic beat in between. I lowered considerably my consumption of alchol and caffeine. When I have a crisis (that is several ectopic beats per minute for a prolonged period like an hour), I go take a jog or walk or I train. I found out that when my heartbeats are faster I dont have as much ectopic beats. It helps with the stress and removing the focus on it. The fear of having ectopic beats actually triggers them and it spirals down. At night while sleeping is when I have most of them. In my case after a 3 week vacation I took in 2019 (that was before COVID), my ectopic beats kind of reduced considerably. So really, it's a thing. Try getting your head elsewhere. I still have some but at much lower frequency. When I noticed my lifestyle was in control of them, it started to go better. It spiralled-up too. Now I can go for several month with almost no percetible ectopic beats. That is from someone who had 6000 to 8000 per day.
@@sovereignsoulutions6612 I felt them throat, all left side of my body too. I felt them in my vision. When resting on the left side, that is when I feel them most because the heart is closest to rib cage. It's a rush of blood.
@@bigbang1985 Thanks for replying.
This is 100% very true
I used to have 6,000-7,000 ectopics per day and was very fearful that I might die. Now I get ectopics just ONCE a month and worst case scenario 10 in a month. All that changed was that i became less afraid and eventually the ectopics all but disappeared.
How u now?
Hiw are you now... I hope you are good. 👍
I’ve been dealing with palpitations since Oct when I got my second dose of Moderna. They are bothersome and uncomfortable but I have been told from ER and cardiologist and my dr that I am healthy and they are anxiety related. I’ve been trying to work on them and get rid of them. I’m tired of having them. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, i have been experiencing the same thing. Are you doing better now?
They are horrible. I once had them for 2 days straight, literally one after another. My heart felt like it was stopping every 5th beat or so. I then went the cardiologist route: blood tests for diabetes and cholesterol, EKG, wore a Holter monitor for a week, then a stress test and echocardiogram. All normal. He told me to calm down and go see a psych for my anxiety. I still am getting them sporadically and am sometimes afraid to even move as they might bring them on. I hope that my life gets easier and I don't have to worry so much anymore so that my anxiety gets under control.
The first real doctor I’ve ever met in my life. Thank you for your work and dedication ❤️
You started with the BEST!
I love the videos. When I get the anxiety coming on and begin to get the heart flutters and skipped beat I watch one of the videos and I get relaxed.Lost my husband a year ago he was 62 and he passed away suddenly of congestive heart failure. Dealing with the loss and all the emotions, I will feel a flutter and then panic sets in and gets worse and I think about the night my world came apart and it's like God I don't want to die.I watch the video and calm down and the flutters stop.
Christmas Day 2020. Dealing with increased palpitations and a few episodes of AFib. It's been a Covid year, and you're so right. Fear, anxiety, depression, and irregular heart rhythm, is a vicious cycle. Will watch this video many times. Praying it'll help. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi
You are spot on as always! I absolutely believe that my health-related anxiety is the root cause of my ectopic heart beats and any other condition I have. So you're right, our health issues will disappear once we ditch the fear! Love you and your wonderful videos! Thank you!
I suffered for years with ectopic beats, with episodes ranging from one every few minutes to every other beat. Tried all sorts of things to cure them, magnesium, relaxation techniques, diet, ect and have finally rid them by simply going for a 10min jog each morning. Within 2 weeks of doing this they were gone and I can't quite believe it....I feel like I have my life back. To anyone suffering I suggest giving this a go. Sure it takes a little effort but the rewards are (in my case at least) so worth it!
What?! Just 10 min jog each morning and you had PVC for years?!
Im gonna try it out brother
Did you have PAC or PVCs?
The walk and jog helps ur mind ease.. it relaxes you that’s how it helps.
How are you today are they still gone
You are the only doctor that really really helped me after 20 years suffering this.! Thank you so much ! God bless you !
Luna how? what has happened to you?
How often does yours happen in a day?
All your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with ectopic beats for months now and only after watching this video I feel kind of okay with it and I don’t feel like I’m gonna die! 🙏🏻
Thank you Dr. I’ve had these ectopics (and one episode of a-fib) for over 45 years and boy do I fear them. My symptoms can last continually for days at a time and I can not sleep because my stomach flips on every beat. Your advice is very comforting so thank you again. I have had test and heart is strong.
FEAR made me have panic attacks.....and when I actually SPOKE to the fear of panic...along came the ectopics.....I dont give diddly......Ihave it dead and gone and I continue with mag tabs and life is good and not of fear...Yhere is an opening after the tunnel!!!!!

I could not be more grateful for stumbling across this. I have suffered ectopic heartbeats for about 3 years now and they have constantly worried me. I have had a complete check up of my heart with a cardiologist here in Sydney, and quoting his words, I have a "beautiful heart". I mentioned my skipped heartbeats which happen consistently..mostly at night when I'm lying down..and he dismissed them as something not to worry about. Watching your video, I know realise they started when I had to move my mother with Dementia and my father into a nursing home. It was the most stressful time I have experienced in my life, and their well being has consumed me ever since. I'm sure it's this constant stress and the fear of them getting worse which has consumed me and caused my ectopics. Just listening to your video reassures me that I'm not going to drop dead, and I need to take care of myself and try and lift the cloud of fear that has followed me for the past couple of years. Thank you!

I have gone thru so many articles, RUclips videos regarding various types of situations that I hv faced in my life, but never ever met such a humble, simple and very friendly doctor like you. You hv erased lot of confusions about my heart health. Thanks a lot, God bless you, wherever you are.
I am very grateful to this doctor for putting this video out here.
Several years ago I started feeling ectopic heart beats and it freaked me out. In my quest to understand what was going on, I found this video. And sure enough, after following his advice, the ectopic beats have indeed disappeared since then.
This video popped up in my RUclips feed after years so I am taking the opportunity to express my gratitude to this doctor.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you get rid of them forever too.
Thank you very much. I'm 35, suffer from health anxiety and was just out in my garden and had an ectopic beat. I haven't felt one for a while and it scared me. It felt like my heart was going to stop beating. I've had all the scans and checks done by various GP's and cardiologists which all come back fine. But what you said about fear makes a lot of sense.
Yes ugh it sucks
What does it feel like when you have yours?
@@larryoso My heart is beating normally and all of a sudden you notice that it pauses for a second (which feels like a lot longer in the moment as you wait for the next beat) and then it does a very heavy beat to make up for the missed beat.
@@SHMIKOS14A mine does that too. Feels like a quick charge in my chest or something. I makes me jump a little because it happens so suddenly
@@larryoso Yeah it's not a pleasant feeling but it's not at all dangerous as far as I'm aware.
I was born with a hole in my heart between the top two chambers and didn't know it till I was 40yrs old. That's when I started to have problems. I had open heart surgery to repair it. After that surgery I started to have panic all the time and still do. I felt so helpless knowing that things could be going on internally that are harmful to you yet you won't even know it. I have Afib now and doctors always have me wear heart monitors for a certain period of time and afterwards tell me there is nothing serious going on. The fear is really effecting the quality of my life and I thank you for this video. I don't think most doctors even think about fear as a factor.
You’re a trooper. God bless you
Did you ever get a echo done before 40 years old??
This man is a godsend. Bless you.
You have no idea what a breath of fresh air this is, just wish GP’s would give it more attention.
Thank you so much!
I don't know how much to thank you for the third time in my life. Stress and anxiety at high levels result in irregular beats and freaks the s out of me and juat by watching tour videos it goes away.
This information is so spot-on. I suffered for years from heart palpitations. I considered ablations and other allopathic remedies but choose to find a more natural root. your videos have been so helpful. Also, reading the books by Austin Wintergreen has been extremely helpful to me and my heart palpitations. After years of being clustered in my home and unable to do anything because of my heart, I am now able to enjoy the world. What a blessing!
What natural root did you take?
Needed to hear this! I’ve been suffering from a lot of PVC’s this year, induced by Covid and fear of it and really fear of everything right now! Best piece of advise I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you so much for this!
Same thing happened to me. After covid I started getting PVC’s.
Me too… and I’m only 30 😢
@@iamgoldsales4948 Likewise, I had Covid in December and these started about two weeks later. I've had all the usual tests and am waiting for the results. I do notice that on days I feel calmer the the frequency is less. Fear is so powerful!
hey girl! do you still get em?
I have returned to this video after suffering from ectopic heartbeats for over three years. I got multiple ekgs, bloodwork, a couple stress tests, and echocardiograms. All normal. I finally went to therapy and confronted the root of my anxiety -- the REAL cause of my fears... and it's now been five months since I had one. Once in a while I may feel a subtle ectopic beat when I'm super stressed or having an anxiety attack, but they're *so much* more controlled now. I finally feel like I have my life back, Dr. Thank you for comforting me throughout these years and for providing education about these scary symptoms. IT IS POSSIBLE for them to lessen or stop altogether ❤️
How to thank you sir, for months I was suffering from cardiophobia and what news channels have been reporting people suddenly dropping dead at Gyms, at parties while dancing. I had literally stopped doing everything and went into depression. I also developed digestive system issues. Everything that you have said today has hit me like a remedy. I was literally asking God to help me know the cause of my panic attacks and ectopics. You have helped me a lot. Life was so much better without fear a couple months ago and it's gonna be the same. God bless you. I don't have words to thank you.
This is absolutely refreshing. I was considering on going to the hospital just now, I'm in my early 30's and after some research, apparently being dehydrated, having a bit of alcohol and caffeine all within 24 hours is a recipe to develop ectopic heart beats. Mine is an extra beat right now. The fear is legit, my uncle died in his sleep from a heart issue, so of course I'm freaking out all the time. This all makes so much sense! I'm focusing on hydration, no caffeine and no sugar to get my life back on track. I have to make better choices and this video was so incredibly helpful!
Alcohol is about the worst thing you can put in your body for ectopic beats, and it also causes VT (ventricular tachicardia). Just try laying off the sugar, stay hydrated, and eat some type of nuts every single night (for the magnesium). I recently read a very large, long term scientific study about the effects of caffeine and ectopic beats. They concluded that caffeine does NOT increase the number or incidence of ectopic beats. Sort of counter-intuitive, but according to this large study, it's true. I had quit caffeine years ago, but I still got ectopic beats. Now that I've read the results of that study, I'm having coffee and tea again!
How r you doing now...did anything helped you..plz share
Back in 2014 at 23 years of age I experienced my first heart palpitation or what I can describe as a single thud in my chest. It really scared the shit out of me. My mind was running with thoughts of what you're describing. I saw a cardiologist had a ecg done and was clear of a heart attack. I used a holter monitor to record what I was feeling and the times that I felt the thud they said nothing showed. I also had a echocardiogram and was told that I have a healthy normal heart. But still I was scared. I ended up moving on and dealt with the thuds. Fast forward to 2018 and I am feeling them even more than ever and am now going to see my cardiologist again. And again the thoughts of death and leaving my family flood my mind. I will see him next week and will go through the same test but am very thankful for your videos. I can't say how amazing it is to have a cardiologist have a RUclips channel. Very selfless and it is much appreciate. Thank you for the videos and support. I pretty sure I'm not going to die from a heart attack but I definitely appreciate your reassurance.
Hi can i ask how you got on with your 2nd visit to the cardiologist. I have ectopics and have had the same visits to hospital but showed up a healthy heart only to still have the ectopics. I thought maybe it was my high blood pressure and subsequently was a side effect from my meds but was told no by my doctor and basically just to put up with my ectopics and as aren't life threatening. Would be interested in knowing how you got on.
Had ectopics for 30 years had all the usual tests they just say your heart is ok u will have to put up with them I'm talking about 20 ectopics per min and out of breath docs in ae say IV gotta put up with them they are useless and so is my own doc IV even asked them for a pacemaker and they say no so it must be about money because IV tried everything
Hey Jordan I feel you man I’m going through something similar. I’m 22 and I saw a cardiologist back in July. He diagnosed me with ectopic beats but with no probable cause. I’m healthy on paper and had a ekg and sonogram and was placed on a 24 hour heart monitor. The doc gave me a low dose anti-arrhythmic pill and told me not to worry since nothing is stopping my heart from beating. He even told me that he has been seeing people around my age with the same symptoms but they don’t know what’s causing it but it’ll disappear. In a sense like Dr. Gupta says you just need to tackle your fear I’ve done it and I’ve seen improvement. I also have gastritis so that also seems to affect when i have a flare up
@@EpilepticZebra49 u r right, I recently had a bad flare up of gastric problems and got really bad palpitations along with that sick acid reflux condition. So somehow they are related and sometimes I cannot tell them from nausea because the nausea has a queasy quivering sensation and burning mixed in. How are you doing now?
I feel you mate .
This helped me so much ♥️ I’m a hypochondriac and have PTSD from a near death experience in the hospital so I deal with this a lot.
What happened in your nde
Thank you. I was rushed to the Emergency Hospital last night due to high blood pressure and my ECG result got some abnormality. The doctor in E.R asked me to transfer to another hospital with cardiology specialist. On my way riding an ambulance for the first time in my 36 years of life. I came to realized what I fear the most, dying. I occasionally drink but I return from smoking after only a few months of quitting. I completely stopped my workouts which I regularly doing when I quit smoking. After watching this video, it enlightened me. It is not about me anymore. It is about me living for the sake of my love ones. I need to change, I need to turn my life and get better. I don't need to fear death. I can do something about it now. Thank you.
You're the most empathetic doctor I have ever listened to, and believe me, I study this type of thing as a hobby. The only negative you have is that you're too far from me to be my heart doctor. Please, please keep doing what you're doing.
This is amazing. My sister died suddenly 6 years ago of SCAD. I got a full work up after but have been very anxious. I have done a lot of therapy that has helped but I worry all the time about my ectopic beats. This video helped me so much. Thank you!
Thanks Sanjay, I had ectopic beats and was so worried about having a heart attack.
After watching this video and after having them checked by my cardiologist, I decided to confront the fear. I started jogging again and as bad as it sounds I was saying to my self while jogging "I dont give a F@*!K+% if i die on the pavement here" I would rather that than live in fear all my life. I jogged and kept jogging. After about a month they got less frequent to the point they now have gone away.
Your advice about not having fear is 100% correct. I also believe the fresh air and exercise helped my mental state as well.
Thanks so much. All the way from Australia
Hope you see my message. I know It’s been two years since you posted this comment. I’ve been feeling the same and am afraid of exercising because noticing my heart beats makes me pánic but reading about people who are going through the same thing and have gotten better make me feel hopeful. As of now, how are you feeling?
@@elviagranados7752 Hi I’m in the same situation. I’ve found that brisk walking helps reduce my ectopics by 95% and it takes them a few hours to come back. But I have not yet decided to run yet. How are you feeling now?
You have helped me immensely. Fear was ruling my life and I have nearly gotten rid of the fear. Now when I have ectopics I am pretty much able to ignore them and so have far fewer of them. Your videos also educated me about the connection between the GI tract/vagal nerve and PVC's. I have done a lot of research and have found ways to control them 90% of the time. Thank you so much for improving the quality of my life. I hope to meet you sometime. I wish I could get to your seminar in NY but it isn't possible. Hoping you will come to our beautiful state of Arizona one day. Bless you.
I could’ve written this post! He has helped me so much regarding the GI Tract/vagus nerve. I’m in AZ. As well. Glad to hear you are doing better! What a blessing this Doctor is and how sad there isn’t more like Him! 🙏
hi,how do you control yours pvc,i have them from last year daily,i tried all magnesium potassium etc,it helps but they come back,now i have sometimes 5 6 in minute and that make me more anxious,do you take some medicine or natural herbs,also i have digestion problems with constipation ibs and heartburn and i think to its all stomach issue
God bless you. I’ve struggled with the fear of ectopic heartbeats for a few years. But I’ve also struggled with anxiety disorder for much longer. Everything you’ve said in this video explained my thoughts, I’ve been getting counseling and have been also getting closer to God and I’ve been doing much better these days. Thank you for sharing this information, it really gave me comfort.
Just what I NEED TO HEAR today, you made so much sense!!! I will try everyday from now on, and live a happy life!! Your message may have just saved my life!!!!! ❤
This made me cry because i live in so much fear because i feel so stressed all the time worrying about this. Thank you so much. So needed this
Many, many thanks, Doctor. I've recently discovered your videos and you are a God-send. I've recently been diagnosed with Afib. My episodes are intermittent and happen when I am gassy. Your videos have been a huge help in understanding this issue. This video, in particular, has been most helpful because I've often felt so overwhelmed with fear because of this AFib. ❤
We were created to live in peace not fear. We appreciate your encouragement and knowledge. ⭐️ You are a true Doctor. We must understand the root to heal and walk in a better mental/spiritual health as it effects the whole body.
I enjoy your teaching and health care approach.
You’re such an amazing person. Thank you 🙏
I am downloading this video and gonna watch it over and over .. what an amazing doctor you are ❤❤
Thank you so much for your gentle and kindly information. I now realise I've had ectopic heartbeat for many many years. When I finally sought help from my gp I was given heartburn meds which I new I didn't need. You have now put my mind at rest. Thank you again.
I love your videos. If only more doctors were like you

You are right on the money. Thanks for this video
I am so grateful for you Dr. Gupta. Thank you for this video. I wish all doctors were like you! I feel like you just read me like a book. A good reminder to stop worrying about my ectopic because that is what is causing them! I also love the reminder of not worrying about dying and how this worry can really interfere with quality of life. Let's focus on the now and how wonderful today is. Thank you so so much. I am forever grateful for you.
You are exactly the kind of person who deserves and belongs in healthcare! Thank you! ❤
I have been looking for this exact description for 30 yrs… u really have saved me!! After so many doctors visits, and dealing with bad health anxiety almst all my life… this is the best news ever… THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for making these videos! God has truly blessed me with your message. Aging parents have put a huge strain on us and my anxiety and has been through the roof... I have been experiencing these ectopic beats for the last few months and even made an appointment with a cardiologist. I'm 58, fit and exercise regularly so I know my heart is healthy, but these weird beats worry me. Not anymore! I'm ignoring them and moving forward. The Good Lord will decide when I go, and until then I'm going to love my life. ❤
Health anxiety person here.
Do you know that, by explaining our most fearful symptoms, you actually heal us? Thank you very much!
I wish all Doctors understood this.
Thank you. You are spot on. I have experienced ectopic episodes for several years, that are followed by tachycardia that lasts sometimes for hours. My GP is dismissive of my views that attribute my condition to stomach problems and hiatus hernia. I have not been near the surgery now for three years as I have no confidence or trust on them, mainly due to their blind reliance on drugs that only address the symptoms and not the cause. I have researched and found your good self. My conclusion is that it is the fear coupled with poor diet that cause my condition and I have increased exercise and stopped eating sugar and reduced carbs, whilst increasing fat and meat. The strategy seems to be working well. Thank you for thinking ‘ out of the box’ and for your commitment to the people. You are a credit and a welcome change from the doctors I have come across recently.
Wow!!! Just wow!!! I’m just blessed to have watched this video. I started having palpitations three years ago. I also have anxiety. Five weeks ago I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia and my anxiety kicked in. After five weeks I still take the blood pressure medication and my doctor wants to medicate me for life. I believe it has to do a lot with my inability to control my anxiety.
What you said about fear made me cry because it’s so true. I just have to rewire my brain to believe that. So far the best video on the internet!!
