Very useful video... my cardiologist put me on 12.5mg of atenolol for my palpitations but I’m having so many side effects from it... cold feet, insomnia, tiredness. I’m have since started taking a 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 at night and the same side effects happen... should i stop taking them? Do I need to wean off of it? It’s only been 5 days

6 weeks ago today I had an emergency pacemaker. Doctors said prior to the pacemaker I would be taken off Atenelol as it was slowing the heart rate. At the time it was 30 to 35 bpm and very irregular. My blood pressure is still very high but at doctor last week it was very low. Tomorrow I see my primary and hope to get my medication adjusted. The videos are very informative. Unfortunately I have become anxious about a possible stroke. During hospitalization I was not anxious. During the hospital stay my b.p. was too high.

I have had issues with palpitations for almost 7 years. Ive also had surgery to correct WPW through ablation. I called my cousin who's a nurse practitioner and had a conversation with him. He suggested beta blockers but said I needed to talk with my doctor first. I was having bad anxiety the day that I called the doctor because of the palpitations. They went ahead and prescribed me beta blockers.. that was 3 days ago and I haven't had any since. I know everyone is different and should probably discuss this with their doctor but for me it seems to have worked.

Dr Gupta, You are rightly being praised by everyone who has watched this video. I join them in thanking you for taking the time and explaining the use of this drug, which as you have said, has been shown to be effective in managing the vicious cycle of anxiety causing ectopic beats. I’ve been ignoring mine for many years and recently started on blood pressures meds but still the ectopics continue. My cardiologist has now recommended beta blockers and again, as I do with all meds, I fight the idea taking them. I now accept that the fight or flight that seems to be a part of my everyday response needs controlling and that I obviously can’t do it myself. Thank you for making it clear that it is possible to stop these - if ones heart keeps to its new beating pattern. I also don’t like the idea of starting and staying on meds forever. I’ll hold on in hope that my heart/ body will make use of the low dose beta blockers and learn to manage stress a whole lot better. Thank you for a thorough explanation on the use of beta blockers. Solid medical information that is still relevant today.

My stress level has been so high that I thought I was having a MI and started having panic attacks. My dr ordered a Beta Blocker and I have been more anxious since he ordered it because I have been scared to take it as to what or how I might feel.

I've been through a series of beta blockers with no luck, metoprolol being the worst for me anyway, and finally have my life back with Bystolic, 10 mg in the am, Norvasc 5 mg in the afternoon and Bystolic 10 mg in the evening, no side effects whatsoever, thank God. I also followed your advice on the magnesium taurate 125 mg twice daily and feel so much better.

Hello dr. Gupta. My physician gave me metoprolol 25 mg tablet but only told me to take half twice a day until I see my cardiologist this Monday. They ran double EKG test of which I was having no Pops at that time, two X-Rays every 3 hours and two separate blood works for the heart every 3 hours and they said that everything was normal he wants me to see the cardiologist because my palpitations are uncomfortable and scary so I'm going Monday and Monday can't come fast enough. It's limiting my abilities of everyday tasks and life and I absolutely hate it and I am sad over it. I do suffer from high anxiety and I get my palpitations early in the morning as well as when I lay down at night. I can also get it if I'm sitting down during the day and I'm not distracted. It's just a horrible thing to live with. Thank you for your videos. I just hope that on Monday the cardiologist won't find anything wrong because I think that's what's giving me even more anxiety. Good luck to everyone. Stress, anxiety sucks! Make it stop please Lord.

It does slow me down, but because I have anxiety, in some ways it’s a good thing. I’m enjoying your videos, and I’m relieved that you endorse the use of beta blockers. It has really helped my BP, and after a month or so the palpitations have lessened. I’ve been slowly losing weight and have cut way back on caffeine, carbs, etc., so I hope that I can go off the beta blockers in another month or two. 😊

Hi Doctor. Thanks for taking the time to make your cardio videos. I find them easy to understand and they have stopped me from worrying unnecessarily. I've viewed a few because I seem to be suffering from what I perceive to be 'missing heartbeats' - sometimes one every 5 or so heartbeats, that sometimes goes on for several hours and at seemingly unrelated times (e.g. in bed, resting.... post meals). My 'missed heartbeats' are very noticeable and the period between these 'episodes' is getting shorter. I'm getting on a bit now (62) so best go see my gp and go from there. I wouldn't mind a referral, leading to electro &/or echo cardiograph but would feel v uneasy if specialist wanted me to undergo something more invasive like getting a camera/sensor inside my veins/arteries (I tend to think - if there are 'bits' (partial blockages) happily 'stuck' in there (i.e. causing no problem), I don't want possibility of them being dislodged, proceeding to cause complete blockage in smaller blood vessel (e.g. lung, brain). Very good case for leaving things alone. I know it's about weighing risk/reward etc. Anyway, thanks again for taking the time.

Excellent video Dr. Gupta! I did suffer from palpitations for about a month, in some instances pretty severe! My cardiologist checked me out, everything was OK! So, he prescribed a small dose of beta blocker, which caused a significant (or dramatic) reduction in palpitations! His plan is exactly what you've described, take it for a couple months and then perhaps go off it, we will see. But the drug is safe and there is cardiac benefit even if we decide to continue it long term. Thank you for such informative videos, really appreciate it!

This video was very helpful thank you. I've had palpitations for about 6 months, which have completely ruined my life. They would last 12 hours at a time. I went to the doctor twice for the quick ECG and of course it was calm at the time and was basically told to go home and relax, given nothing. At the weekend I phone NHS 24 after a bad episode and they sent an ambulance, the paramedics were able to capture the issue properly, with my beats going up to as much as 200bpm. Then straight to hospital it was and on to beta blockers for atrial fibrillation which are working perfectly so far. Also on blood thinners as I may need my heart restarted. It's a vicious cycle, I was getting the palpitations and then worrying about them. I think the way you described it was great, you just need a break from them, beta blockers help and hopefully that will sort it out :)

One tablet a night seems to be helping with both anxiety and the palpitations. Thanks for taking the time to explain this to us . My doctor did not explain any of this, she just gave me the choice of anti depressant or beta blockers. I'm seeing a cardiologist this week so hopefully she will be able to investigate more and give me the answers I'm looking for . Thanks your a 🌟

Yesss, thank you so much for this. Im on a low dose of Propranolol for palps caused by anxiety of palps/and caused by hormonal fluctuations. I love them and my life isn't about palpitations anymore, the relief I get from that is a beautiful thing. I do wonder about weaning off at some point but I'm not ready yet. All the information about how they work and what palpitations are -I've had to research for myself (I'll probably be a heart surgeon in my next life) and your videos explain all the details that us disco hearted people want. You're an angel🤩

I took a heard walk up hill the day after I started and nothing no pounding heart no heavy breathing nothing I walked in my house talking to mom like I never moved a foot lol I was so calm and relaxed. I feel it is going to get better as I go on. I'm so happy I got checked out and have health insurance now. I really needed it.

Hello Dr Sanjay! I am admired the way you have explained all corners about plapitations. I have seen almost for more than 6 hours different videos on palpitations related to the types, seriousness and the reasons fall inn causing palpitation. I want to add here that your suggestion is quite safe as mentioning for 3 to 4 weeks at max. Whereas I took Tenormin 25mg (the lowest Potency) for 4 years as half self medication and half recommended by a practitioner, I have faced side affects very badly and on a long run it disturbs all type of cholesterols. Additionally it causes obesity and etc etc. So you are very right to maintain life style from Day 1.

I tried beta blockers April-June of this year and I had almost all side effects - most of all my heart pounded all day and my rates were down between 38 and 42, my pressures were below 99/55 and I had more skipped beats and panic attacks than I ever have my entire life. They also ruined my stomach and I had constant tightness in my chest. Started with Metoprolol and switched to Bystolic. Even on doses as low as a fourth of a pill were a hassle for me. I wish I was one of the people able to tolerate them but I ended up in the ER 3 times while on them before finally being switched to Verapamil.

I am not a person who suffers from anxiety. I meditate one to one and a half hours each morning, and have for 40+ years. I had no heart problems. I also have glaucoma - high interocular pressure that can destroy the retina, resulting in blindness. My eye doctor prescribed Combigan eye drops, which contain beta blockers. Apparently, a study on beta blockers showed that a side effect of them was lowered interocular pressure, so ophthalmologists began prescribing them for glaucoma (an off-label use). Three drops a day in each eye and the pressure came down a bit, but I was a mess. I was constantly dizzy, lightheaded, and feeling like I was going to faint. The brain fog was so bad I thought I was getting dementia. I couldn’t remember things, and my reading comprehension was gone. I even tripped and fell once. At my next appointment, I told my eye doctor what happened at after suffering for 6 weeks. “Oh, it’s the eye drops,” she said. She changed them and I was back to normal in a few days. I know now that beta blockers are not for me for any reason! I was upset that she hadn’t warned me of the possible side effect, since she obviously knew that was a possibility. And that I had to go through weeks of misery wondering what was wrong with me. I now have a new, better doctor.

I suffer from heavy anxiety and take a betablocker very often when I go for a walk, to the supermarket or when I meet friends. They are really a small "wonder" for me because the suppress the heart palpitations and I feel nearly normal with them. You still feel the anxiety but the symptoms are blocked, they don't get through. Even a small dose of Metoprolol (25 mg) works well. When I am very nervous, I might even take 50 mg. Antidepressants didn't help me at all, they had no effect.

You need to take a regular dose once a day, or twice a day based on the doctor’s recommendations. Beta Blockers are not instant pills. You need to have steady stable concentration in your blood stream, otherwise you are playing with fire with your own heart beat.

Very interesting a few years ago my then doctor tried to get me on beta blockers , at the time I was training for the London Marathon , running 70 miles a week and with a resting pulse of 38 so interesting what you say doc about not taking them with a low heart rate ! also he said under NHS guide lines I was bordering on being obese even though I didn't have an ounce of fat on me ! I completed the Marathon in 2hrs 53mins at age nearly 50 and I doubt I would have been as quick on the beta blockers as you said it slows adrenaline > All goes to show you know your body better than the doctor and not to always believe what they say , much better to get a second opinion .
