You my man keep me sane . whenever im anxious or feeling panicy ,i find comfort in your videos . Thanks so much .

All heroes don't wear capes...Dr I salute you!!

Sir please dont ever stop posting the videos, you don’t know it is making thousands of people to feel better..humble request sir

My father, a GP and cardiologist specialist passed away a couple years back after a 2 year pancreatic cancer battle. I was diagnosed with ectopics shortly before he passed, his advice was smoking and caffeine cessation, which helped partially. A recent flare up has brought me to your channel. Listening to your succinct insight delivered in a professional manner has made me feel close to my father once more. Sound and positive intellectual advice. Thank you

I came here to learn more about Heart Palps and now I'm pretty sure I have a crush on this Doctor. A new reason for my heart to flutter

whenever i see your videos, it gives me immense relief from panic attacks.

I have figured out over the past few months that my fluttering or skipped beats happen when i am tired or when I move or position myself in different positions. I have had a great deal of anxiety over these skipped beats. I have seen cardiologists and has tests ran. No one can tell me why I have these issues. There seems to be allot of people with these issues but no real reassurance or feedback from the medical community. I have been watching your videos for a few months and want to say thank you for what you are doing. You have given people, many of which have anxiety like me, reassurance that it is OK. Taking the time to give people peace of mind is truly wonderful. Thank you.

I have ectopics. I find when I straighten my shoulders back, they are somewhat relieved. I have a tendency to hunch forward probably from years of looking at cell phones and tablets Etc. Thanks for all your hard work and information love your videos

This FREE medical help has helped me more than a lot of cardio DR ,s that i have payed for.

Wow! this was seven years ago posted and today after I have been suffering from this for 20 years someone just explains it so well and precise. I have been check numerous time and no one could explain it. Really appreciate all you do Doc. keep it up. Eternally Grateful. Just by knowing this, the levels of anxiety goes down so drastically is Life Changing. Thank You so Very Much.

You are such a great help to my son, we were lost until we found you're videos. Please keep doing what you're doing. You are God sent.

I guess most of us have the same thing in common here. Which leads us in his videos. After watching most of his videos this one clearly explains what I’m feeling. When laying in bed getting ready to sleep in sympathetic with all the adrenaline from hard days work and when parasympathetic kicks in. Such a comfort finding someone who can explains what troubles us inside. I hope more people hear his words to clear their worries and find relief. Thank you Dr. Gupta for your hard work you’re exceptional.

Been to hospital 3x through emergency and never got the information that helped me like what I got from this video - I owe you a lot. Thanks so much

I have been suffering from ectopic heart beats for more than 20 years now. I went to see a cardiologist when I first experienced them but they they nether found anything so I've have to learn to live with them. Sometimes they can be very frightening and come on strong and they can take your breath away. It happens more when I'm relaxed and when I'm leaning forward. I didn't relise what they were until I started watching your KZfaq video channel. Thank you so much Dr.

Dr. Gupta, You are a god-send. I cannot articulate my anomalies and yet you so distinctly articulate what I am going through. I cannot thank you enough. You give me hope. For that alone, I am forever indebted to you.

I wish everyone with ectopic heart beats could see this GREAT doctor's videos !!

You are a godsend. The amount of anxiety you have relieved for me about my ectopics is astronomical.

Sanjay, can you please publish a book with all of this information. I would definitely buy it :)

I have been watching your channcel for a number of months. Its only now that i have been told i have ectopic heart beats. Not one of the doctors have ever made mention of posture or even any of the info your giving out on heart health. So thankful.

if you are also a medical professor, your students are blessed...if you are not a medical professor in a University, please be one. Your explanations are clear and precise, and you are very charismatic!

This guy is a god send. You almost explained mine to a tee when moving positions. I will get them bad when I get real mad over anything. Seems like the adrenaline sets them off. Same with working out. If I'm calm which is rare with anxiety disorders. But if I'm calm I don't have them as much. I also get them when I raise my arms above my head especially reaching for something or bending doen or over for anything I will set them off. I'm so relieved to hear Im not the only one getting very simular heart beats.

thank you very much for taking your time out... very much appreciated

Thank you that puts it all in perspective and brings reassurance. I have found that stretching any time of day and any posture - like when you awake in the morning, a good old stretch with arms up etc, for about 15 seconds, makes the ectopics stop. It's amazing to see the heart suddenly register back to normal pulse on the pulseometer.

I pray to have more people like you out there,thank you so much.really appreciate your time and support for all people in need.bless you

Dr.Gupta, thank you so much for your videos. I have had palpitations for years, but whenever they get scary, I just watch your videos and instantly feel reassured that most likely I’m gonna get through this alive 😆 💜 Thank you and God bless you!

Brilliant video! This answered so many questions, thank you.

Thank you for your videos. You are a caring individual. You are a healing balm for those of us with heart issues that feel we aren't listened to

I can't thank you enough for your videos and your research on these ectopic heartbeats. I've developed these over the past six months due to some type of medical issue none of the doctors I've seen can figure out. I'm pretty sure it's from lyme disease from when I got bit by a few deer ticks while living in the state of Connecticut... Now I'm stationed in Hawaii and the doctors out here are clueless to lyme. Your videos have help me understand A lot about ectopic beats and what is actually happening with my heart when they hit. I've been subscribed to your channel for a few weeks now and I enjoy you sharing your knowledge and research! Thank you so much!

Dear Dr Gupta, your videos are a ray of sunlight for anxious people with ectopic beats. I have a history of heart condition, replacing of aortic valve and implantation of pacemaker to stop bradi taqui that triggered atrial fibrilation. Also I had PC surgery in 1/2018 and are on ADT which makes everything worse. Last october I had mild COVID but a few months later I started having this ectopic nightmare and it got on my nerves. At night I get bigeminy rithm and it really upsets me and creates a little discomfort. During daytime if I do not sit too long I exercise a lot and feel fantastic for a 75 year old, can run, play tennis no symptoms no discomfort. Listening to your description I feel much more comforted, I think I am a vagal type, started a diet to loose excess 10 kilos and eating basically vegetarian, fruit only during the morning, and combining food to grant light and fast digestion. I will let you kn ow how it goes and thanks for being a HEALER

I FINALLY got an answer to what I always wondered. Thank you! You are a blessing sir.

Great explanations! I've had ectopics my whole life. He is %100 right. Thank you so much Sanjay Gupta.

Sanjay you are one amazing cardiologist, thank you for all your hard work that you went through to get to where you are today!

Thank you so much for taking the time to put all these videos up on palpitations.. I have been struggling with them for about 8 months and they have caused some major anxiety for me.. I have been to 2 different cardiologist who have been very vague and have not helped put my worry to rest at all.. these videos have given me some relief.

You are truly a God-send, Dr. G. You do give me comfort with your info! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for clear and simple explanation on this topic. I have ectopic heartbeats when lying on both left and right side, when lying down. I feel better lying on the right side with my arm streched out, on top of my left side of my body. The chest opens up and the ectopic heartbeats stop and I fall asleep easily. I have seen some of your videos and they are exceptionally clear and easy to understand, please keep up the good work.

Im glad someone knows what they're talking about.... Thanks doctor for your clear explanations ❤️

This is so relaxing to hear Ive been studying the vagus nerve because Ive experienced these beats for over 5 years now and after stress echos and ekgs and a cardiologist saying they were “stress induced arrhythmias”. I started researching because putting my boys to bed at night I would get these continuous flutters however when I would sit up they would stop. Coincidentally they were the same feelings I would get on a daily basis as well. I’m convinced that I get these day and night. The vagus nerve is simply amazing. However with anxiety and panic all of my life it can be scary. Thank you for this. I appreciate you being so open with your knowledge!

All I can say is you are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos.

I recently found your channel and it is very helpful. It’s also nice to read the comments and see that I am not alone. I was first told I had PVC’s my early 20s, I am now in my mid-40s. I occasionally felt the double beats but never paid it really much attention and it never caused me any anxiety. Earlier this year I started having episodes of Tachycardia. I was eventually given a cardiology work up which found no structural abnormalities and I also wore a Holter monitor for two weeks. I was told that I have PACs and PVCs but the total burden was less than one percent. No other explanation was given about any of that and I was told to just do whatever I wanted to do and there were no restrictions. The tachycardia episodes have not returned and I have significantly cleaned up my diet, which was not terrible to begin with. I’ve almost completely eliminated caffeine and I stopped drinking alcohol altogether. I have increased my exercise and I’ve managed to bring my cholesterol and triglycerides numbers down significantly. I have not noticed any reduction in the ectopic heartbeats. The only thing I could say is that after all that happened earlier this year I am far more aware of them and they seem like sometimes they come in bounce of quite a few at a time. Other times I don’t feel any for many hours. But I’m far more aware of them now and far more anxious when I feel one. I ever used to be though. I’m trying magnesium but so far nothing has seemed to be able to reduce them. As far as posture, if I am getting ectopics I can make them stop by changing positions. I have not noticed any one particular position that is worse.

Thank you for taking the time to create these incredibly informative videos!

All makes sense now. I always thought my symptoms have to do with the nervous system. Your explanations have taken the fear out of me. Thank you so very much. I wish other doctors would explain things in this way.

TRUE DR .when my stomach is bloated..i get all these problem....so true

Dr Gupta , thank you for sharing this.Stay blessed always. Wish there were more doctors like you

For people with anxiety like me, searching for "data" driven answers, this is truly godsend , thank you so much!!!!

I suffer with ectopics. I’ve just recently started watching your videos and they are very informative and reassuring. You talk about autonomic nervous system. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia which is thought to be autonomic nervous system dysfunction. I’m sure it’s all related now.

I am SO thankful for you!!! You really put my mind at ease, thank you 🙏🏻

Your are amazing dr Gupta….my mum has ectopics and I keep sending her your videos! What a legend! Thank you!

Thank you, Sanjay, for all this great information.

Bending over, taking a seat, and lying in bed frequently give me ectopics. This video helps me to feel better about that. I also notice more palpitations when I am scared (public speaking, flying, etc.), or if I overeat or experience reflux. Thank you for the explanation. It helps!

I was searching for PVC but you make us think on completely other issues. Really happy that you exist and care, share gratefully.❤️

You are a marvel to us all Dr Gupta. Thanks to your amazing and very relaxed videos I've already been able to stop my ectopics as I recognise that they are due to anxiety. Knowing this I start the breathing exercises and they soon disappear. All due to you dear Dr. Bless you for all your wonderful explanations, help and advice.

Thank you for reminding me of many things I learned many years ago when I had debilitating anxiety and panic attacks! Since Covid Vax’s and sick with it, it has all hit me hard, so glad I found you!

Doctor, you are really doing a wonderful job. God bless you!

You have explained every symptom I've been having! Thank you soooo much! I have visited several doctors, one of which was a cardiologist, and no one has explained it. I was just told, "It's normal for your body." By not explaining what was happening I would be scared and confused...and distrusting of my physicians' advice. I will use your advice to reduce my ectopic from this point forward. Thank you again, truly.

Thank you so much for answering a life long worry I've had about what's going on with me. This is exactly what's going on with me. I'm 44 and it started in very young child hood years.

You sir are the Carl Rogers of cardiology, thank you for your informative videos.

This is the second helpful video of yours which has helped me understand a problem. I have been trying not to worry but I have been suffering with this. It's a very difficult subject to find a concise explanation in layman's terms. Thank you so much for this video it has helped me understand more and helped with my course of action

Great information , you are helping a lot of people Sanjay

Thank you Dr. your videos are exactly on point. Elevating the head does work.

Dr.Gupta you are an Angel! Please let us know when your book will be ready, I am waiting to purchase . God bless you!

Thanks a lot for sharing this video. You are God send and relieved me from my anxiety.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain what most cardiologist don't. I wish you were my doctor i would feel alot more comfortable and cared for.

Thank you so much doctor, this video was very helpful and informative. God Bless you!

Thanks for this information and the easy to understand way you explained this, very helpful.

Thank you so much for this video! My doctor had no explanation when I mentioned the postural nature of what I experience. I sleep on my back now with two pillows and don’t over eat anymore.

thank goodness i found you!!!!!! SO HELPFUL!!!!!

Dr Gupta you are my hero because you explain all these different issues. The medical doctors at the hospital do not have the time to go into the details of the patients diagnosis. My GP is very good at listening to me when I need reassurance with my diagnosis of AF with Factor 5 Leiden, so i am on anti coagulant therapy but it is causing me real problems with breathlessness. Thank you so much.

Dr Gupta you really are a god send ... I salute you sir .

Thank you so much doctor! I was so worried about these… I’m 27 and feel them often especially when I am working (I sit down to work) and then have to go up and down stairs quickly and then when I’m going to bed. I get so scared but I’ve done EKG and stress tests before and nothing has shown strange. You really are helping me understand these strange sensations!

Thanks Dr Saab, You are building confidence and enlightening the people with knowledge..🙏

Dr Gupta. I know this video is four years old but I only recently discovered you. I have a heart and BP that suddenly go wild and often end up for ecgs at the emergency. Of course nothing wrong and I feel silly. I also get ectopics mostly at night so will follow your tip of raising the bed. Checkup with cardiologist next week but thanks for your wonderfully clear explanations - they are really reassuring. At 77 my erratic heart and BP are a bit concerning. Take good care of yourself in these difficult times. Greetings from Switzerland.

Thank you Dr Gupta. This was very informative and helpful. I have had postural ectopics and taking a deep breath helped.

Without you I couldn't have got through this week.

I get them when anxious, when exercising (where they can hurt), and with posture but not when trying to sleep. All these videos are so useful because they arm you with knowledge. Not knowing why things happen is the concerning part!

I think I have both types if that is possible.... I can relate to both of them. Thank you very much for this information. Especially the forward bend thing was very interesting!

I’ve been diagnosed with pots recently, and have had a increase ectopics it with irregular beats/pvcs. It is very dustressing when happening lying down . And have found comfort in finding your channel.

I've seen this video before. Your videos have helped me tremendously on my anxiety and panic disorder journey. Thank you.

You explain better than anyone I know.

This is exactly what in going through with me. Thank you for explaining. Incredible how you nailed it.

thank you very much for all your info. best one on internet anywhere.

Great videos - thank you and thank you for comforting us!

You are the best! Thanks a ton for helping!!

What a wonderful channel of information!! You are such a smart Doctor!!! I had a cardiac ablation in 2014 for an arrhythmia i had all my life. I finally found a Doctor that could help me at the age of 44. My heart would beat at 240 beats a minute when this irregular rhythm occurred. So scary. I still get palpitations but thank God the horrible irregular rhythm has been fixed by the ablation. The area of concern was very close to the pace maker area. I was very lucky my Doctor could fix it considering the tricky area it was in.

I hardly ever got them very bad when I could exercise but now that my chronic pain will not let me exercise they’ve gotten much worse. Very curious. Thank you so much Doctor for all that you’re doing that ever videos of been very helpful for me. You should win some type of a doctor of the year award

Excellent as usual!!!! Thank you so much for everything you do. I get these ectopic (at least that is what I believe they are), when lying down. A Holter monitor did show some SVT a few years ago, and when I would stand up from the bed, they would disappear. These ectopic don’t feel like the SVT, but they still, for the most part, go away when I change position. I will admit that I notice that I do feel anxious and then I have increased urination. I know that is from being stressed out. I forgot to mention that I think that the ectopics are lessened with the head of bed elevated with pillows. Hope this makes sense.

It’s great you’re talking about this.

6:28 - thank you for being the first cardiologist to not dismiss that as being on one’s head and that we just notice it more. This is *precisely* what happens to me: laying down, I go from under 1 ectopic a minute to 4 per minute (as measured by a tracker).

Another great video dear Doctor, thank you very much!

Ah, thank you. Sincerely ~ thank you. I now understand how autonomic issues (heart rate falling to 30 bpm and then subsequent ectopics and low BP upon standing) usually only happen when I’m sitting in particular types of chairs. It made no sense! It’s all about the pressure I’m creating on the inside. I suspected that, but needed some voice of knowledge to get me to the how of it all. Thank you for doing what you do. I, for one, truly appreciate you.

Thank you so much for your videos Dr. Gupta, I sure wish you were my Dr. You have alleviated so much needless concern and worry that I've been having that my own Dr. didn't do (he didn't explain a thing, nor give me a diagnosis). I have watched most of your videos and very much appreciate your easy to understand detailed explanation of the mechanics of the heart, it sure takes the mystery out of what is going on, which is part of the "fear of the unknown" which makes it worse. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

I am so glad I saw your videos... I ended up in a&e yestarday due to ectopic beats (i had issue before and I have profesional great knowledge about cardiology) but that posture related worsens of the symptoms worried me ... this explanation had put my mind at ease...

Brilliant Video Dr, thank you so much

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, What more can I say that everyone else has said already? I want to thank you dearly for your time, care and detailed explanations that serve us all so well. I have experienced PVC's for years and caused me much anxiety hence worsening the experience. Now, I can sit back, relax because I understand this is not life threatening. Hats off to you good sir! Can you please create a video on the use of Marijuana and its effects on the heart, blood pressure, and the nervous system. This is a topic not many understand now that cannabis is basically legal in America and North America and seen as a medicine for anxiety. Again, thank you for all of your work and efforts you put forth!

Thank you for another great video on ectopics and how to reduce them. I've learned so much from your videos and feel I have a chance now to regain my hearth health.

For me personally, my ectopic beats were completely cured once I went to a chiropractor!! Please go consult with a chiropractor, get adjusted and get posture exercises. This will reduce the inflammation over time and within a couple of months, you should feel completely normal. The vagus nerve is something that most people don’t know about and it actually holds so much power over the body. Keep that vagus nerve healthy!

This is insane and amazing! I have been telling people for the last few years that it seems like certain positions, like sitting or bending forward, bring on the ectopic heart beats for me. They have just looked at me like I was crazy and said it is normal and don't worry about it. I am 100% a WHY person. I cannot tell you how much this is helping me! Thank you so much!

I have gotten significant relief from lying down and inhaling for 5 seconds...holding for 5 seconds...exhaling for 5 seconds...and then holding for 5 seconds. Sometimes at first they get worse, but then...usually after at least 5 minutes of steadily doing this...they calm down considerably or disappear. I've even gotten some relief from doing it standing up when I'm out and about. As I get more relaxed, I sometimes end up doing 6-6-6-6 seconds. It doesn't always work, but often does. I tried just 5 seconds inhaling and 5 seconds exhaling but it had little to no effect. Sharing in case anyone wants to try it. Thanks Sanjay for your videos. I'm sure a lot of people have gotten some relief simply from your often reassuring information and the friendly manner in which you share it. Be well. ;~)

Dear doctor Gupta, you helped me to understand my palpitation problem more than any doctor I visited. You are the best. Great educator, sweet, smart, and beautiful. Love to watch your every new lecture.

Sir you are the real hero 🙏, you have addressed so many problems of mine. Love from India❤

you are really good!! your explanations are so clear and make alot of sense. It cleared my doubts and suspicions...thank you dr guspta!!
