Thank you for easing my mind it'd terrible going to bed thinking your not going to wake up

Not only does Dr. Gupta know his cardiology, he also understands people and how their psychology functions! I do so wish I had a cardiologist like him! That said, just listening to your video talks makes me feel there is someone there who cares - and not just about how my heart is thumping but how I feel about it. Thank you, God bless you Dr Gupta!

I was diagnosed with an arrythmia at 21.... now approaching 60.... still have it plus a vagus nerve thing every few months .... so far Im surviving. Thank you!

You've changed so many lives. Helped ease the minds of those with all heart associated issues. May God always bless you and move you to always keep helping others. Your a blessing

Very helpful--especially for those who live alone. It's so easy to become more and more anxious and to imagine the worst.

I ADORE doctors that like to teach. You could say they have a special place in my heart ;) So many doctors get lazy and either don't want to explain things to their patients or assume their patients don't want to know. I love this kind of information.

I have SEVERE cardiophobia, I have gastrocardiac syndrome, so I get palpitations and thuds in my chest and throat whenever I eat or even have heartburn and they always scare me (said palps and thuds have been greatly decreased by going on the FODMAP diet, but I also have panic disorder, so that makes it worse). You have settled my mind SO much!!! I could honestly cry right now. YOU sir are a blessing!!!

So did anyone else get palpitations while watching this video?

I think he is one of the best cardiologist. He has empathy for heart related anxious people and relieves the minds. You are the best antidepressant Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Thank you so much.

Hello everyone, watching this video. I pray y'all live for hundred years without any health issue. I've been experiencing palpitations since 3 years. Whenever i sit down, lay down or in my bed, i feel my heart palpitations. I can clearly hear my heart beating even everytime. Sometimes it feels like my heart is beating on more than 100 bpm's but sometimes it's like less than 60. But after watching this video i can say that I'm completely fine so we all. Thank you doctor for this kinda' polite and positive demonstration. We anxious people are always searching for something positive to watch and i can say that we found this. Thank you once again doc :)

Thanks Doctor. The world is missing a whole ton of doctors like yourself.

I've suffered from severe panic attacks because of irregular heartbeat. I think this Dr just cured my anxiety problem ....

You are a hero.

I get palpitations throughout the day even at rest when my heart beat is in the low 50s and it always comes on with a tension headache as well.

After 2 days you gave reason to smile by saying it's not very dangerous

my sinus tachycardia feels HORRIBLE but the heart is stronger than you think

6 years later and here I am, thank you for this very informational video you’ve helped me so much.

I was in the emergency room just a while ago. When I finally returned home i still couldn't sleep. After watching your video i finally feel much more calm. Thank you so much.

I am so grateful for your explanations on the palpitations. I am over 65 and had a recent stroke. Was put on blood thinners but still get the palpitations that last usually 2 days. You explain things so I can understand and it truly gives me a sense of relief. Thank you so much!

love you man you are a godsend

Always so reassuring. The titles always give me a fright because the terminology sounds scary, but then when you explain things it's comforting.

I sure wish our cardiologists would talk to us about this! Thank you so much for all your videos!

You're so crystal clear, so very helpful! THANK YOU!

Sir , I simply can not thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. thank you SOOOOOOOO much !!!!!

Iv had so many PVCS and other shit at a young age that I just said fuck it, I welcome the irregular beats. If it kills me oh well, I’ll be sad to leave my loved ones, but atleast the bullshit of life will be over, taxs, mortgage, car payments, debts, etc... when I die, I WIN lol. But really guys, what has helped me is I have gotten used to it. It used to scare me for many years- sitting there getting more and more anxiety, but honestly try to get used to it, and the better we understand something and embrace it, the more we stop being scared of it and it more just become a nuisance, kind of like when I was younger I was afraid to fly, but now turbulence just makes me irritated because it can spill your drink on you. Just remember people the key is to not be scared, it’s out your hands... what’s going to happen is going to happen.. if you let it scare you then all that is happening is you are letting your illness take over your life and win.. don’t let the bastard win, milk it for all it’s got. NEVER be scared. You scare it! Next time it happens just tell yourself “oh well IDAF” it might not be true the first few times. But you know the whole “fake it til you make it” eventually you won’t be scared and you can live out your life in control. 👍🏻 be good people

Thank you so much!! You have helped me more than the cardiologist who said “you must be mistaking your heart for your stomach”, and “you are a young woman so you must be fine”. For years I have had the palpitations that are very irregular, which you have just stated are probably not dangerous. Thank you! My father is a heart patient and I have anxiety. I just know the palpitations are not because I am stressed in that moment, because I never am when it happens. I feel taken seriously, and relaxed as well. Thank you 🙌🏻

I love your explanation. You’re such good human being taking care of everybody asking you for health tips. Stay safe and healthy. We need you. Thank you.

Dr care bear 🐻💖 your amazing there's not many drs like you who actually care about their patients.Thankyou for your time .Bless you.❤️xx

Brilliant Video for those of us who suffer. Thank you so much for helping me understand my palpitations.

Thats really kind to take the trouble to make this video for us - thank you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and explaining in a calming and an everyday language. You're helping so many people, God bless you

Dr Sanjay Gupta... thank you so much for this video... So helpful to lower my anxiety about irregular heartbeats!

Great stuff ! Very helpful information and very assuring to those who suffer from frequent bouts of palpations. Thank you for the helpful hints on how to control this very annoying cardiac abnormality. God bless for your dedication as a medical doctor.

You're really Godsend. Puts my mind @ 90% peace. Yes, for 4 years (2011-15) I used to almost daily measure his pulse, sometimes 3-4 times daily when he wasn't feeling well since he was into COPD-Stage 4 during his last years. 2014-15 I started noticing exactly the pulse beat pattern & intensity you mentioned as AF. I also used to see our cardiologist close his eyes, sit still almost in a kind of meditative state, and feel my Dad's pulse. His diagnosis was also AF. I also learnt a lot from him. Today also I was fortunate to have someone measure for a long time, with a portable ECG, for a long time, and put my mind at ease during these CoVid times.

Hello Dr. Your words and videos have been extremely reassuring to me over the past couple of weeks. I recently started getting palpitations which was very worrying, i believe they started because of a number of lifestyle events/reasons. So I starting taking magnesium, potassium and zinc. Started going to bed early, reduced my alcohol intake, ate breakfast etc and restarted yoga, learned how to relax and generally living healthier. The past couple of says I have not had any palpitations. ( hopefully they wont come back) I know they affect us all differently but I just wanted to say thank you and I hope others can find a way to reduce their own palpitations. Regards

Dr Sanjay Gupta, you sir are awesome! Thank you so much for all you do for us.

I love this guy. Sharing his knowledge is the best merit. Healer ❤️

This is really helpful - thank you. I am retired nurse who had ablation for SVT over 20 years ago at Barts and have had recurrence of fleeting chest pain in groups (?palpitations) at rest and sometimes after eating. I have SOBOE due to mild chemo related emphysema (problems with gaseous exchange at alveolar level though my lung capacity is good). I had successful surgery and chemo for ovarian cancer last year and 11 months clear/NED at present. It is doubly useful at present as been feeling unwell with tachycardia at times (112-118) and fatigue easily for more than a month and it took me over 3 weeks to get appointment to be seen/examined by GP who has referred me to cardiologist - no doubt will take weeks again to get appointment and be seen. I have been reassured by your helpful series and started self medicating with magnesium pidolate and seems to be settling though not gone away completely (I think in former vid you said need to take the magnesium for a month for it to completely resolve so am happy on right road). Sods law by the time see cardiologist it will be self-diagnosed and sorted. Again many thanks.

Thanks doc, wish every heart doc was you. Saved me a trip to the ER and a ton of anxiety tonight

The premature atrial thuds…. Thankyou so much for explaining those!!! I have had those for years, no doctor I’ve seen has ever explained them, such a shame all the times I’ve been referred to York I’ve never seen you, because you just explained it so easily and made me feel much less anxious about it. Thankyou for being so generous and kind with your wisdom! ❤️

This was sooooo helpful.. I was little concerned about normal heart rythm and this helped me clarify a lot of doubts. Thank You Doc! You are the best!

Wow that was really detailed...worth thousand $ information thank you!.

Thank you so much! You’ve helped so much! I’ve struggled with anxiety about my palpitations since a thyroid crisis last year! I appreciate you explaining everything!

Thank you so much, what an amazing doctor. Your videos and speciality is really appreciated 🧡

For four years I have followed you and learned about the heart/gut/vagus nerve connection. I have seen several GI doctors and Cardiologists and the connection has been dismissed by them all. I have done additional research and felt quite sure that there was a connection. One GI doctor went so far as to tell me to stop complaining and that at my age (76) i am lucky to still be alive. Needless to say that was the last time I saw him. One cardiologist prescribed yet another very strong drug (I decided not to take it because of side effects I had read about-all scary). Another cardiologist did nothing to monitor or change the heart drugs I was on for 12 years since having surgery to repair my mitral valve and a Maze procedure. She simply said that the next thing was a pacemaker. I stopped seeing her and found a wonderful cardiologist who listened, read through my past files from previous doctors and took me off both the heart meds I was on (amiodarone and metropolol) which was keeping my pulse about 33 bpm. No problem getting off the drugs and I am happy to be off them and seen no change except that getting them, especially the 12 years of amiodarone. I have been having more GI issues and thus my palpitations (PVCs) have been more frequent. Cardiologist said they are not dangerous and explained about the vagus nerve and stomach connection. Finally! What I had thought all along since learning from your videos was confirmed. The GI doctor who I saw asked the name of my cardiologist (different practice but he knew him and his good reputation). Today, I saw the Cardiologist who said my palpitations are NOT dangerous. My GI issues are now being addressed with meds (so far none are working) excetp over the counter Beano which helps about 50% but mostly diet. So grateful to you for educating me and making me believe that I was not crazy and being smart enough to find a good cardiologist. Thank you so much.

Brilliant information and very well explained. Thanks very much!

God bless you. Im a 19 years old female and i love watching your videos. I love knowing about the heart and keeping it healthy

Thank you Dr. Gupta, you have diagnosed exactly what I have so now I don’t have AF but just that missed beat exactly as you portrayed. You are an amazingly helpful doctor and helping thousands of people who are watching and following you. God bless and I’ll be following your great advise. I’ll be 82 in July and 1.5 years into my keto way of life and 165 lbs from 220 lbs because of it. T2D but no drugs since I started keto.

Very useful at this lockdown period.no one to ask. Thank you very much.

Made me feel 20x better. Thank you!!

This is amazing information, simply and clearly explained. Thanks for this, it's really appreciated.

Brilliant. I believe this is the best explaination for those who still worry bout palpitation. Looking for 'palpitation is a symptom or sign of..' just push yourself to uncertainty and worry.

I am so impressed with your knowledge

I can’t get to a doctor right now during lockdown, thank you so much for teaching me how this works! I’m tearing up right now, I’m happy both me and other people struggling with this issue can get some kind of closure while we’re stuck alone.

Hey man thanks so much for this. I had a sciatic nerve osteoarthritis injury went to the ER, given prednisone 40mg and had the "pause and drop" symptoms with a normal heart rate. I also take lisinopril and believe they counter acted. 37y/o m hypertension+PTSD from service. Called both ER and PCP about these reactions and neither would say stop steroid(which I made my executive decision and stopped) or explain what was happening. You've helped to ease my mind and feel better in understanding what's going on. Sometimes just knowing facts like these can be enough to reduce symptoms and worry. Honestly sir. Thank you.👍🙏

Thank you for posting this information. Be like Gupta... Useful.

Thank you! I’ve stressing about this. My heart was palpitating for couple hours, but it doesn’t get higher than 105bpm (based on Apple Watch). And by stressing about it, it lasted for sometime. I didn’t have chest pain. My heart calmed tf down after this video 😂😂. Thanks for this! Very educational.

I love you, you have put my mind at rest. Thank you so much. x

Dr Sanjay Gupta I have been experiencing palpitation since October 2020. I came across your excellent videos. I have only a few words to say that you are, "WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, GENEROUS, KIND, EXTREMELY ARTICULATE". God bless you, I have subscribed to your channel. I live in Sydney, but when I will come to UK next, I am definitely (Inshallah) going to meet you.

What a great doctor! Wished i had you for my doctor for sure. God bless you. ❤

Wow, you hit it on the nail! When you demonstrate the various different heart beat irregularities, I was able to sit mine which was Premature Atrial Complex. This correlates with what my Cardiologist told me that I have. She began to explain to me where the point of origin was, the lower ventricle but I forgot which chamber left or right. At any rate, I really want to find out where the point of origin is and learn what I can do to prevent this or stop this from occuring, if that is even possible. I have been told to stay away from caffeine so I quit drinking coffee, but then I went to diet coke and had to quit that too. I have lived with this heart palpitations problem since I was in high school. I think I must have damaged my heart because I used to drink slot of alcohol with my friends. That's the only thing I can think of that may have triggered them to begin with because before I had never encountered them. At any rate, I have been to Cardiologist and have had all the heart monitors you can think of; 7 day, 24 hrs. and a week and I never had a single heart palpitation! So I'm currently, recooperating from a big one I had about three days ago. Also another small one today. They're so random, I never know when they're going to hit and they scare me to the point where I'm afraid to even be afraid. I go through periods where I won't get them for months. I'm not sure what triggered this recent one but it was probably anxiety which I used to suffer from. Now with the Covid situation, I guess watching the news doesn't help! Thank you for your help and channel!!

Before I had anxiety or before 2013 I used to never notice my heart just by sitting still or standing still now that i have anxiety long term I feel the heart beats clearly every single day so the people that feeling and hearing their heart beat rhythm by being calm relaxed sitting still etc know this it's because you're hyper-vigilant about your heart health and this is caused by anxiety and most likely you've had sudden thumps and skip beats. For people with no excessive anxiety would never feel their heart beating while sitting still they'd only feel it while doing something active like jogging, sports gym etc. I have asked people with no anxiety do you feel your heart beating while being very still and relaxed they've said no they feel nothing even putting hands on their heart area still no beats. I can put my hands on my left side of chest and i'd feel hard beats for no reason and am bloody relaxed.

You are a hero sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge conveniently with all of us. 🙏

First time ever I've not regretted googling my symptom! thank you Dr Gupta.

Best by far explanation of atrial heart arrhythmia I have ever heard. Thank you!

Wow that was so helpful. Mine was like the PAC...it stops a bit and bang goes on. I must say that I am in my mid 40's obese and when I noticed it I was hiking going up a hill. It was a bit weird really but I had no other problems. My hormones also have an impact in my palpitations as I am experiencing perimenipausal effects. So thank you I am very relaxed now.

Thank you. Your videos are extremely helpful.

thanks sh. Gupta for extending for your information to unaware people like us.

Not only palpitations for me, but consistent skipping of heart beats.

I’m so lost with these palpitations.. it’s ruining my life.

By far the best advice and in such great detail!!! Thank you 🙏

You calmed my nerves today , we should have more doctors like you !!!

I get palpitations 100% in proportion to how much coffee I drink. No coffee, no palpitations. 1 cup fine. 2nd cup is when problems arise.

I worked in cardiology for many years and rhythm problems were one of the main reasons we saw many patients..When a woman goes into menopause ( usually in her early 50s) she will many times have rhythm disturbances,,of course it is scary to them but usually harmless..He didn’t mention a hard cough with slow deep breaths will usually take care of it..Stress is one of the big causes ,,,so finding ways to ease the body,,ALSO,,,throughout your day STOP AND TAKE IN SOME SLOW DEEP BREATHS,,,remember,this is what the body and organs ( heart) want to live and as we get older we tend to do shallow breathing....BREATH🌷🌷

Dr. Gupta- you have a fantastic channel! Following your advice (exercise, diet, supplementation, etc.) I have reduced my AFIB attacks from one a week or so in December to zero in January and February. I have discovered that proper hydration is critical.

Your illustrations are very helpful in understanding the various symptoms. I see my cardiologist tomorrow to go over zio patch results.

Your videos are very re assuring. I’m going to try and work out what kind of palpitations I am having, so far when it has happened I go into a blind panic and jump up almost as if I need to run away from it so next time I will try hard to stay calm and actually take note of what’s going on.

Great video. What about PVC's?.didn't see it covered on this video.

Thank you so much for the most helpful insight. God bless you

Again thank you so much for the explanation, your a blessing Dr.Gupta, God bless your gift to help others

Great info...noticed myself experiencing palpitations. I've been dealing with a little bit of stress so that has to be the cause of it. I have a pretty good diet, enjoy playing racquetball and am conscious of my health with zero heart disease history in my family. The Palpitations when I'm relaxed and its a bit annoying. ☺

Mine comes when I have gas in my chest

Incredibly helpful. Thank you. I have a much better understanding of this now

Thank you! this information is very helpful.

Very interesting and educational. I’m 53 old female; thin, fit and healthy (I think!). I’ve been having the fluttering with a feeling like my heart is jumping out of my chest at the same time for some years now: it doesn’t last very long and it doesn’t always happen. I do think caffeine can trigger it but I have never given it a second thought until now and considered it more of a nuisance than a worry.

My heart palpitations happen throughout the day, when I stand up to when I’m lying in bed. I don’t feel sick when they happen but they are annoying and I get scared. I sometimes get them in a row, it feels like a flutter. I have mitral valve prolapse but my cardiologist said it was benign. I was prescribed metroprol for the palpitations. Thank you for these videos!!!

Very informative. Thank you

You are an amazing doctor, thank you for all your amazing videos and the help they are to me

I had palpitations, and I was taken to the hospital, and I was diagnosed with afib.

I took magnesium I feel better

To be Honest Doc Sanjay Gupta is a smart cardiologist thank you doctor. Now i can relax and have peace of mind.. Anxiety is the one killing my heart. I need to control my work stress and started doing exercised and Yoga :)

I love to watch your video! I got PVC and used to worry too much. Your video really help me to release the fear! Thank you soooooo muchhhh!

Helpful video, thank you. Every morning for the past 3 weeks I wake up and my heart rate is anywhere between 130-170. It'll stay that way for several hours and then go down to between 80-110. It's very odd as usually my resting heart rate is in the 60s and this just started happening out of nowhere every single day. GP just says anxiety but I'm not remotely anxious, seems a cop out diagnosis for not being bothered to run tests.

Thank you very much dr. Sanjay . I salute you...😊

Excellent information Thank you so much for your videos

Im so finally happy hearing about what is all about my plapitations as im watching you my palpitations became relax and normal bcoz when i started my menopausal i have anxiety and started to experience palpitations now i felt relieved thank you thank you sooo much i felt good already😍🥰🙏👏❤️

I had fast heart beats and it feelt like i had a worm going around my heart.

Great educational info. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your good advice from balwan Singh you have helped me a lot thank you
