Palpitations in athletes - why and what to do about them 

What should be our heart rate during gym if resting heart rate is 70-80???

It does not answer my question 😢 I'm in full rehabilitation due to general DYSTONIA.. the exercises are moderate to subtle but my body gets very weak I'm almost fainting and super dizzy i don't know what to do

Thank you for a very informative video, you delivered it in a clear precise way, that made it easy to understand. Not that I am an athlete, but it still answered questions that I hadn't know to ask.

Can fasting spur an AFib incident? I was fasting every single day for 16-20 hours without electrolytes and had my first and only afib incident. I am an endurance athlete, which I understand is a risk factor, but it's been three months and it has not happened again.

Sometimes when my adrenaline kicks in when playing basketball at the same time my palpitations occur

I am 4 months into Texas method (weight lifting program) without a break Starting to gave all the symptoms of over training including palpitations and a mild sore throat Supposed to take a week off or take a light week

Thanks a million! Every athlete should have a look at this video!

What’s considered excessive? I do an average workout with cardio/ weights once a day.

So, sports like boxing where you necessarily do a whole lot of cardio are bad for you?

With all due respect doc our bodies have evolved over millions of years of hunting food maybe last 500 years have been different so how are our bodies not made for hard physical activity?

Can exercise at marathon levels benefit the left ventricle at the expense of the other three chambers?

Thank you Sanjay. Sound advice. I am cutting back as a result.

I got tested for all heart tests and they came out normal but i still get pvcs or palpitations. I get them more when i try to go out for a walk and it bothers me so much that i don't actually do exercise anymore. The doctor had told me that in my hotter monitor results he saw skipped beats but he didn't tell me how many? I feel lightheaded all day sorta dizzy sometimes. Should i go to another cardiologist?

Thank God for people like you.

Thank you. I got spooked during my workout so I just decided to quit early because I was already tired before I went in so decided to get more rest and try again tomorrow...

I've been waking with pounding palpitations at night , I'm 59 and go yo the gym and have a low resting heart rate .Now I'm waking nightly or after w nap from.mikder palpitations but I'm exhausted. What can I do about this?

How do you get back into exercise after a hiatus and cardiac recovery?

please doctor please answer, how many pacs are going to make my heart have atrial fabriatuon ???

Instead of saying the body doesn’t like. Use it bad for the body

your videos REALLY helped me a lot..words cannot describe the good you are giving to people!

Thank you for making the time and effort for making these videos dr!

Excellent. Thank you very much.

I have a question. My daughter plays soccer at a competitive level and she is very young and now I'm wondering how much is too much for her? I don't want to put her at any unnecessary danger.
