Thank you doctor from Ohio USA for taking the time to better educate me and others. I am 49 and have had palpitations for about 13-14 years. Mostly annoying really but otherwise I'm healthy. I just had a cardioversion and the palpitations came back after three days. I wish I wouldn't have but I drank a can of caffeinated soda and the next day they came back. I've decided to eat clean and take your advice in these videos. I have faith they will stop by incorporating your advice. Thanks again!
@@Wrath_Starz they did until I went back to a poor diet. Got lazy I guess. I have been slowly eating better as well as adding turmeric and magnesium. For me, a regular sleep schedule and drinking more water, as well as the better diet and supplements, are helping after a couple of months.
Love your videos. You seem so caring and kind. I think it very admirable to help people to correct their problems, rather than take medication for life.
Well said dear. Each and every word you said is the truth . I hope other doctors think the same way as you think . The doctors only rely on the technology not on the life style and diet etc. As you said finding the cause should be the priority . I don’t believe in modern treatment and taking lots of medicines and suffering with the side affects. It doesn’t cure but only suppress the problem.After listening to your videos I have the courage to handle the situations with the doctors. I will slowly taper the medicines and will stop if necessary. I have no major problems just a minor hypertension . I am not diabetic. My cholesterol is little bit high. I don’t drink alcohol neither cola’s , juices or soft drinks . I am not overweight. Still my doctor is insisting me to take medicines for cholesterol and blood pressure. I am very thankful and grateful that you have the courage to talk openly without fear of criticism. Keep up the good work dear.
Dr. Gupta! You have been a lifesaver! For the past six months, I've been experiencing true peace and happiness. All my palpations disappeared after following your advices!!!You are a Heaven-sent Doctor! God bless you exceedingly!
@@hewnajavee4466 Drink lots of water especially when you wake up in the morning. Have a big bottle of water next to your bed and before you have breakfast drink lots of water it helps trust me! I drank 1 gallon of water from morning till afternoon and my palps have gone!!
@@hewnajavee4466 I started drinking coconut water and eating bananas regularly. I also take magnesium glycinate pills whenever my anxiety peaks. It brings me so much calm. You can give it a try.
You are an excellent doctor and a super person!! Shame I live very far in Venezuela, otherwise I would be your patient. Thank you very much for your videos!!!
Hi Dr. Thank you for all the information you have provided in this Video, I lived with heart palpitation for 30 years and finally They caught it with loop recorder and I have 2 cord pacemaker, all the drinks you discussed in video did cause the palpitations,so your information is excellent. I’m just wondering if you can do video on exercise, I’m 42 and loved working out with weights so I had the pacemaker put in December.1.2017 , when can resume my activities, can I do bench press, what kind of electrical devices I need to stay way from ?thank you
Thank you Doctor. I’m wondering if carbonated drinks like sparkling water S. Pellegrino is ok? I’m binging all these topics on the heart that you’ve gracefully shared with the masses. I need to eliminate this sugar and get better sleep.
Sometimes the skin gets slightly tight on my chest and on my neck. It isn't too intense but I still notice it. During those times I sometimes have a slight increase in heart rate (being between 94-100) and my normal heart rate is between 76-84. This normally occurs after I eat. One day my heart rate went up to around 121 and I felt tightness in a small area in my chest muscles. Whenever I feel this tightness I never have shortness of breath or any other symptom, just a fast heart rate and that slight pressure.
Thanks for ur great videos.I am having palpitations beats radiating to legs.My Ecg n heart rate echo holter monitoring all is normal but this feeling of heart beat throughout whole body is really horrible.I think no one is able to help me.

yea, thats what my doctor said as we both looked at the ekg machine ..'ohh well, the heart will just do that sometime" later on, it took me a long time to find L-taurine but now..it took my heart skips away. the best think is l-taurine is a natural amino acid thats produced in the body as well, the body already knows it, so there's been no contraindications recorded.
I appreciate you so much! Hope you’re doing well!!! I have been diagnosed with AFib and I have had thyroid cancer with removal of my thyroid. I had an ablation in March 2023. For two days after the procedure I was in AFib. Seventeen hours of it was horrific AFib!! I’m scheduled to have another ablation in January 2024. I’m terrified beyond words. What if it goes the way the first ablation went? I don’t know if I could make it through that a second time.
hi I saw your video and I Don t drink,smoke,do drugs,drink caffeine but I have had a resting heart rate as high as 180 but I have developed pneumonia as well as a low tyroid level TSH . I have high blood pressure as well and I m only 28 please help.
@@georgiayoung9124 hey I m doing ok. It's been 4 years and high blood pressure is gone. I don't take meds for it but still have hyperthyroidism. But I m doing ok.
I have them when trying to get to sleep. Just been told by my doctor I have anxiety, does this make a difference? Do you have to tackle anxiety in this case? Thankyou.
I am 16 years old and I have had these palpatations for a while now I am young so this brings a lot of concern to myself and I am trying my hardest as of now to beat these. The last one that happend was about a month ago and it lasted about 2hours and that's the longest Its ever been and longer than anyone elses I've heard of. So my father took me to a heart specialist and he brought up a lot of the same stuff you did. My EKG came out fine, but they did tell me to get this thing that attaches to my phone and it can record what's going on when put up to you're chest. Hopefully I won't have to use it because I'm really going to work on this diet because I am in fact over weight. I also wanted to ask if smoking marijuana will cause this because I have been smoking cannabis for two years because it helps me sleep, but lately I havnt been smoking it because I've felt a slight weakness and shortness of breathe, that alone should awnser my question but either way I'd like to know because I haven't felt like that before
Hi. Dr. Do you have any advise seeing that you like the natural approach, how do get someone off the statins drugs, because of its havoc of your mavalonate pathway, now your cells unable to obsorbe food nutrients,? no cholestrol and CoQ10 etc,etc, Welcome any advise?
I'm only 17 and I've recently found your videos two days ago Dr. Gupta And your videos have given so much reassurance about my palpitations. I was freaking out to the point that I consistently searched up heart problems and heart attack symptoms and the whole 9 yards, Scaring myself even more to where I think Im going to die. This is my first palpitation experience and I am more than happy to have found your videos. You are a blessing Doc.
Alcohol is absolutely what has caused my heart woes, with Stress a close second. Quitting alcohol all together has made a massive difference. I know stress is the next thing to work on as any little bit of struggle sets off my poor dear heart. (I have Afib). Thank you for being so up-front about alcohol, it seems doctors and people in general are too polite to talk about just how damaging and serious it is. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for all this advice, I had heart palpitations, which came on suddenly, and caused me a great deal of panic, thinking I was going to die. I did a quick trip to the local hospital. Anyway after seeing a heart specialist, who said my heart was quite ok, but he recommended blood thinners and something to slow the heart down. The one you did on Magnesium and how important it is, was most interesting, so I bought some tablets and after about 5 days the palpitations started to settle down and disappeared, and now 3 months later there has been no sign of them. I haven't taken the blood thinners or any other medication, I am back to normal as before all this started. My problem started after drinking White wine and coffee during the evening for several nights with a friend, anyway no more wine or coffee. Thank you so much for your videos, they are so good. Cheers, Howard B
you've given me more information than the 4 doctors i went to for tests and answers. "you're okay, you're healthy, nothing's wrong with you" just isn't good enough when i can't sleep, can't concentrate, can't function throughout a day because of these palpitations. i just wanted to know WHY they were happening. thank you for the information. thank you for caring for people like me.
doctor your are the best thing that ever happened to us people who need to listen to you about what to do with our lives thank you so much and may god bless you in every and each step you take in life
This doctor is so calm and so reassuring and so caring. I wish other doctors would be like him. He actually listens and is very helpful whereas a lot of other doctors do not listen. Mine never listened to my complaints and when i said the Lisinopril has bad side effects he said i was not impressing him by my knowledge! I will never ever go back to him again! I'm glad he fired me!
Thank you so much Dr. Sanjay Gupta for the true BLEESING of your videos. They are a great help to me. I'm a 51y/o mom with h/o PVC palpitations and presently going through premenopausal symptoms. My heart goes through episodes of palpitations as I experience hot flashes. Very uncomfortable times. I take cardizem cd and toprol XL. Hope you will do a video on women, menopause and effects on the heart. 💖🙏💖
I have had PVC's for almost 4 decades. Watching your video on drink tonight, I was doing just about everything you advise against. Thanks for the info, and I will be making some permanent changes in my drinking habits and quitting alcohol, which I was consuming much to much of.
Your advice has helped me so much! I had a cardiac ablation for SVT about 7 weeks ago and I feel like it has made my heart more sensitive somehow and I have more pvcs. Giving up caffeine has helped a ton! I had two glasses of white wine the other night later in the evening and not only did it give me bad heartburn but my etopics were off the charts the whole next day and I had no idea why until this video! No more wine for me! Thank you again from Michigan USA
Yes, wine has sulfites in it. I can no longer drink wine. I am sad about not being able to have an occasional glass of wine but it is a small price to pay for a healthy well regulated heart. So cheers to you!
You are so kind Sir, to take the time out of your busy schedule, to share your knowledge,...freely, with the world. I appreciate , and deeply respect, the love and compassion you have towards your fellow brethren of the human race. Be HIGHLY blessed Sir. Thank you.
wow just like we have said for many years .. we Seventh day Adventist have followed this for a long time and some of live up to 90s and longer , of course first of foremost by Gods grace
I have been researching palpitations and health disorders for over ten years. I'm very happy to have come across your videos. I think you are awesome. Just a quick question, based on what I believe is a primary cause of so many health problems. What is your take on the influence of glyphosate and MSG ? You mentioned that you think wine is worse than beer, but my understanding at this point is that both can be bad because of these two ingredients. Most doctors and even naturopathic doctors dance around this basic and major problem. You are so right about magnesium and heart palps. Works for me. But also I know that if I have anything in it with hidden msg, I will get heart palps. Keep up the great work. I'm going to follow you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this Sanjay. When I asked my GP about palpitations I was having last year, the response was 'they are nothing to worry about'. Maybe, but that didn't mean I stopped wondering why I was getting them and if anything could be done about them. Health Education particulalry around the subject of heart disease is sorely lacking in the UK - you are providing a much needed service!
Well, my regular doctor just fired me a wk ago! He had ordered me Lisinopril for high blood pressure which i had been taking for 6 months, plus the water pill. The water pill depleted my potassium. My heart was flipping a lot for hours mainly after i ate a meal. I ended up in the ER two times in two days! Did all the tests. Ekg only showed some pac's even tho i could feel them constantly. But the blood test showed i was low on potassium. The number was 3.4 where it should have been 3.6 or at 4 best. They gave me two huge potassium pills on each nite. Second nite potassium still the same number. I went to my doctor and he at least prescribed me 7 days of potassium and another drug Losartan for the high blood pressure. I am female 68. He was very mad tho that i did not want to take the Lisinopril as i read it can cause angeodema a swelling of the tongue and throat which is an emergency.....even if you took it for ten yrs with no side effects suddenly you could have an allergic reaction. Harms the kidneys, liver and causes diabetes. I also was on a 24 hr Holter monitor, but the hospital never sent him the report so i don't know what it showed. He told me he would see me a couple more times to check and see if the Losartan worked, but then i had to find another doctor. I was supposed to see him Thurs. but i was terrified and i canceled. I am now looking for another doctor. I do have a holistic MD i am seeing next wk too., but i need a regular doctor. One should not be terrified to see their doctor. Oh, Lisinopril is made from the Brazillian Pit Viper snake who kills it's prey by lowering the blood pressure. The losartan is helping me, but i am also taking Hawthorn and hope to wean off the drug.
I forgot to say that i am still getting the flips after i eat a meal and i am now afraid to eat. I lost 3 lbs in ten days. This just started ten days ago. I would get pvc's and pac's now and then but never like this. I find sometimes i can eat a small meal like one avacado or one banana and heart won't flip, but if i eat a regular full meal my heart still flips even tho i am taking the potassium. I need another blood test to see where the potassium is, but need a doctor for that. I am looking now. After i eat my heart will flip for hours like 7-9 hours! I also stopped the Lisinopril as i read it can cause heart palpatations too.
hi doctor your videos are the best & i'm happy that you decided to take time to record these videos for all of us... i have PVC's and although i'm on metoprolol 50mg bid i still do get pvcs.. im exercising and has a healthy diet. im afraid of the pvcs and i get anxiety after them.
Love this....deal with fib flutter and other v ectopy and a ectopy daily with patients. Even more so after all these jabs. ! Working on the functional medicine cert definitely want to incorporate all of this into it with a cardiac focus. This is great info and thanks for sharing.
These videos are so helpful, because most doctors don't believe that diet or lifestyle make a big difference. I truly appreciate all of your videos and topics on heart health!
I'm crying right now. I thought my life was over. I've been to the doctor so many times in the last 5 months and all I've been hearing is they're not dangerous. But no one had an answer. I don't drink caffeine or carbonated drinks but I do socially drink alcohol and definitely have a lack of sleep. I kept telling them I think it's a magnesium issue and finally they listened. My mag, potassium and vitamin d levels are all low. They still hesitate to help me. Told me to do it naturally but I can't eat enough lettuce and bananas fast enough. I'll try the supplements and see how that works. I also stopped the drinking months ago (with the occasional drink here and there). Thank you for these videos. I really hope it helps because I'm so depressed so often about this.
@@georgiayoung9124 IT ABSOLUTELY WORKED! ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS. I'VE MADE SOME CHANGES AND HAVE ALSO DONE SOME RESEARCH ON HERBS THAT HAVE BEEN HELPING A GREAT DEAL.
@@stanleyatienza883 it worked for me. I also have had iron infusions because of severely low iron. I found some herbs and old remedies that have been helping me. I pray you've found an answer as well.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are immensely helpful. You answered questions that I had asked my cardiologist but did not get much of a response. Very useful information!!
carbonated water is documented as being terrible for reflux and heartburn, and ever since I stopped drinking it my palpitations and reflux improved, if you can just drink flat water or coconut water. All those bubbles in your stomach cant be good.
Someone mentioned about having pvc's as a child, and they are worried. So I want to tell them not to worry, because I am mid-50's and have had pvc's off and on since I was about ten years old. Doctors always mentioned how healthy my heart is, and not to worry about the pvc's. So, I didn't. When they flare up, (every few months, or every few years) I just try to ignore them. I exercise a lot, always have, and have worked outside all of my life, so I'm saying that I'm very fit, and there is nothing wrong with my heart. I just have a lot of pvc's, that's all. I don't use alcohol, or smoke, but I do drink coffee.
I appreciate the insight! I've def been drinking too much alcohol lately. Cut out coffee after first major palpitation and it helped a bit. Had a few crazies nights w friends and they came back. Saying goodbye to the booz for a bit!
Thank you for all you do. I have been able to reduce my afib naturally through investigating and exploring my triggers; and your videos have helped me to do that! You are doing such INCREDIBLE work - thank you for your generosity and care for others. Be well.
Hey Dr. Gupta! Thanks for your helpful talks! Question about carbonated drinks - We have a soda stream and the only ingredient we use is the Co2, no flavourings. It's like Perrier or San pellegrino. Any downside to this, other than how bad C02 is for the environment :(
Mrs Reddy from South Africa. Thanks 👍 Doc. I really appreciate your lessons on palpitation. I pray that we have more doctors like you. I have learnt so much. No more coffee for me. God Bless
i was suffering from severe palpitation issue for more than a decade, but only came to know that caffeine plays this huge role in raising your irregular heartbeat recently . I wonder how come physicians emphasys more on medication rather to control it naturally , such as cut down the responsible ones. fortunately, i am doing as 90% better than before since i have quit to consume soda (regular or diet) tea ( even the Green tea) coffee and smoking ..... i am living a way comfortable and peaceful life . will ask people to follow this who ever are suffering with it. Thanks Dr Gupta .... you are awesome !
I am grateful for the important information. Thank you for providing your expertise to help others in this way. It is a gift to us. Also, I must say that your voice and speech are quite beautiful to listen to. I wish my voice was as lovely.
You are a Godsend. Thank you for all your help. Listening to you gives us excellent advice, and you deliver it in such an educated, commonsensical, calm way sometimes just listening to one of your videos helps them subside…….or your videos are really long :). But honestly, thank you and may God continue to bless you!
Hey Doc. Great videos. Very informative. I get a middle of the night heart racing or morning after racing heart when i drink more than 4 drinks very often for the last 6 or 7 years. When i have 1 -3 I usually do not get it. Is it the depletion of electrolytes thats causing this? When I wake up with racing heart my anxiety makes it twice as worse, ugh. I try to drink earlier now and not close to bed and hydrate for a few hours and I think it helps especially a smart water with electrolytes. Should I be worried about these episodes ?
My family dr. added another pills to lessen the palpitations!am taking losartan amlodipine and added with metropolol 20mg . What other alternative cpuld I take. Am suffering too of this acid reflux depri,ving my sleep.pls. reply soon. Thanks.
This guys awesome, be nice if he had a better camera lol... but man thanks for your videos. I had svt and before I got it fixed by ablation I felt terrible even when not in svt I felt like crap, tired all the time irritation in my chest and it got predominantly worse leading to the months before the ablation. After the ablation I felt like a million bucks from the second I woke up, not short of breath anymore no chest discomfort etc... 2 years later I havnt had svt again but I’m starting to feel like major crap again, super tired all the time, chest discomfort etc what could be causing this? I am set for another ep study just to see what’s going on
I get ectopics up to a week after a big night out and always thought them related but couldn't find any good explinations. I often thought it was due to excercise, which I do a lot of. It was good to hear it here and have the reasons explained. I had a holter and ultrasound and it was all good. Time to change the lifestyle! Though infrequent, mine can take my breath away and really stop me in my tracks for a split second...theyre infrequent but strong. Simple solution though which is cut down alcohol. Well explained...thank you
Hello there and thank you for the video. I have had 4 years of torture with palpitations. Most of the time my stomach will flutter and then i know the palpitations will follow. I dont consume ahlcohol, or caffiene.and No chocolate. I have had at least 6 ekg,s in and out of the emergency room visits and cardiology visits. I had the big stress test done in the office. I have had an upper and lower GI done.Most of the time they come with no food in my stomach. All i drink is water for my liquids. My gastro doctors put me on a powder called Cholestymine , twice a day. It worked for a while and now back with a vengance. My doctor says that the Bile my body is producing is not binding in the lower intestines and therfore comming back up the stomach. I also take a pill for stomach spasm that work sometimes, but i think it is a fluke when it does. Its called Dicylomine. I do feel that my dijestive track is the reason for the palpitations,. When my stool is soft i have palpitations. But when my stool is hard i get no plapitations. Please help. Thank You!
Thanks for another great video. and your time. your videos have helped me with my palpitations. I have had palpitations since I was a kid now 43 . have had all kinds of tests on my heart. they have never found nothing wrong with my heart. and I'm in good shape.
Do you think emf and over exposure to wifi, especially while sleeping could cause an electrical disturbance in the brain and heart? why hasn't this possibility been discussed?
My daughter was given Propranolol 80 mlg for anxiety , she has taken only one and hates it can she STOP it or does she have to ween off with a lower dose ? We are worried about stopping causing irregular heart beats she is 30
I really appreciate the info that you share. It is very informative and in a way that anybody can understand. I'm in the medical field, and I have palpitations from time yo time (PVCS, PACS, and lately bigeminy. Thanks again and blessings!😇
Why do I yawn a lot? I feel like I’m trying to get more oxygen. My 02 levels have always been normal. Thank you for these videos! Very helpful. Thank you!!
