Very fast heartbeat 

He is the worst presenter I have ever seen. Faking accent , confused about what he is speaking. Horrible.

I’m a CCU nurse and I wish we had more calm, intelligent, and humble cardiologists like you❤️💕 you are a blessing to many patients. You are the finest example of being a great teacher because you are confident in your knowledge and I think those people are the only ones who can truly reassure others. Your empathy and compassion are palpable.

Relax and breathing slowly in and out. Went u driving also do ur breathing in and out. Plus pray and Thank God 4 the day😄!

I’m glad I found this video. My heart rate is usually 60 - 75. But since yesterday it has been 80-115. The more I look at my watch the more anxious I become. I’m relieved after watching this. Thank you.

You have completely changed my life. 8 years ago I started having anxiety and I slowly turned into a hypochondriac all of it focuses on my heart and I've been convinced I'm having a heart attack dozens of times. I've done so much research on the heart trying to know every single little thing its ridiculous. Now that I've found you I just get on here and about 2 minutes into one of your videos and I'm calmed back down and back to normal. If I could just get my doctors to talk to me like you do instead of pushing meds I won't take my anxiety probably wouldn't have made it this far

Dr. Gupta, I want to sincerely thank you for your excellent videos with zero fear tactics, just facts. I appreciate your passion and honesty. Your work is extremely appreciated by me and I'm sure by many others. Continue to stay honest, grounded and humble as these videos are very helpful and reassuring. God bless you!

You are a Great help!!! Been suffering with panic attacks and anxiety because of a fear of my heart rhythm. Your videos have helped me so much! I am forever grateful and wish you could be my GP.

I truly believe the mind controls the heartbeat . If you feel anxiety , stressed , thoughts , thinking , etc ..

Anemia B12 deficiency High levels of potassium Dehydration Insulin issues Thyroid issues All contribute

you have such a relaxing calming voice.

I have had infrequent episodes of rapid, regular heart rate without apparent reason over the past ten years. When I experience these episodes the rate increases gradually to about 145 bpm over a period of minutes and remains at that level for about 45 minutes and gradually returns to normal over a period of hours. My maximum heart rate is 155bpm. You are the first person among many doctors to explain what is happening to me in a clear and informative way. Aside from that, your calm and caring manner is remarkable for someone who practices medicine. I am so very very grateful for your generous spirit and I wish you something beautiful and wonderful.

You are the best, who ever taught you, taught you very well!!! We need more doctors like you!!

Dr. Gupta thanks for the informative video. When I first went on the keto diet and fasted for a week my heart beats went very irregular and when I went to bed I thought I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. That morning I drank a glass of water with a teaspoon of pink salt and I’ve never had the problem again. I drink a glass of salt water daily now and it also stops leg and hand cramps. So obviously the heart needs salt for its electrical conductive needs..

Honestly, don't try and jog, walk first for a 1 week after that, jog for 20 min a day. never push yourself too hard first. until you have build heart muscle from exercise.

What an incredible channel. Your videos are highly informative and helpful, thank you!

Thanks doctor... you are the best gift from Almighty to this earth...

You've answered so many questions I've had. Please continue this channel as it is MOST helpful! Thank you!

I get sudden rapid heart beats a lot. When they happen I basically have to sit down because I feel so fatigue and it gets harder to breathe. I'm only 14 years old, and I would consider myself pretty fit. I also get a lot of chest pain and last time I went to a doctor he said my blood pressure was lower than usual.

I learned more in this video than I have from any other sources about tachycardia. Your approach is very informative and reassuring. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the thoughtful explanations. I am much more calm and confident about my upcoming cardio appointment because of your video.

Thank you so much for explaining how our Hearts work, you've answered so many of my questions. Thank you, now I can stop panicking.

I am glad to listen to your talk, I am at ease now. So generous of you to give advice in this area. Thank you so very much.

Hello I’m jeremy my heart rate went up to 148 at work when I came in felt funny bp was 198/70 went to ER ekg was done x-ray and everything was fine blood tests and when I was their when I stood up from bed went up to 130 what could it be went to get echocardiogram haven’t got results yet please help

I am 36 and have felt my hr at least 160..maybe 180. This is reassuring to me during my panic attacks. You have a very calm approach and tone. You seem to keep in mind being triggering for health anxiety people and I literally have teary eyes in appreciation for this. My mother died at 27 of cardiomyopathy hypertroph and her sister at 41. Tho I see a cardiologist twice a year because I insist for my peace of mind and all is well. Thank you so much. I was nervous watching your videos worrying I would be triggered hut they are reassuring. Thank you!!!

I have a case of covid19 second day and my heart rate has been much higher than normal 80 to 90 just walking into the other room. Normally it runs 50 to 60. So I guess 80 to 90 isn't anything to worry about considering my body is trying to fight off the virus. Thanks so much. You are one of our go to youtube sites.

You’re a gift to the world. Thank you

Have questions how can I get through...I have actually experienced a very fast heart beat and my medical personnels happen to tell me I have low blood pressure because when they diagnosed the impulse rate it was a bit low the the second diagnosis it went back to normal

how do i reduce my heart rate when i sleep. after i had a stent put in it increases a lot when i lay down to sleep. i get up every hr r 2. my heart is racing.

You are a caring and awesome Doctor.. And very informative with useful good information.. I appreciate your knowledge in helping others.. Thank You Yvonne Adams

as a RN who is experienced but new to primary care, I am grateful for your insight and willingness to share it.This is important to primary care cause we are "dinged" on hospital care for chronic conditions - hearts are in the tope five. That you for your knowledge!!!!

Hey Doc Thank you for taking the time make these videos Very helpful

I am watching this on December 27th 2019 ! Your content is life changing... honestly . You have done me a good deed sir by the content you continue to put out!!!

I sometimes would wake up in the middle of the night & my heart would be racing.

My heart rate goes to 110-120 bpm walking for 30-60min walk and my blood pressure is 155/116 when I get anxiety before taking my blood pressure at stores. .....when I'm resting ..I'm 135/99 watching RU-vid lol.. 😆😆😆

Thank you very much sir for this informative session.☺

Hi Sanjay, your youtubes are so informative , thank you for the content. It's really helped me understand the heart and electrical system. I've experienced all three tachycardia's, (atrial, super and ventricular). I find the atrial the scariest, its utter electrical chaos in the upper chambers when it happens, but I maintain a regular heart rythm. One technique I've learned is hold your breath and pinch your nose, for a few seconds at a time, this puts stress on the vegas nerve and helps to suppress the electrical misfiring, I have found this to be quite effective and shortens the duration of the event. down to 5 to 10 seconds The other two I've found drinking cayenne powder in water as well as juicing lemon in water and staying hydrated really minimises all three.

Hi Sir Im Facing Breathing Issue from Last 5Yrs Don't Know Y Im Nt Addicted To Any Kind of Things If I Think Abt Fights Any Stupid Thing My Heart Beats Faster Y ? Just Give A Good Solution for Ths

thanks so much it help me alot my heart rate went up at work im a hostess it went up to 222 then it went down to 111 i was a little nervous u more me feel better it happen tonight thanks so much

Hi doctor, thanks for a wonderful explanation, you're great! Thanks so much!

I think a condition some like breathing problem can send you in tachycardia too like from COPD

Can you please answer this question it will help me with my daily living. I have a panic disorder and when I'm at the height of my panic disorder my heart rate can reach 230 beats per minute. I have been to the emergency room many times and have been getting mixed messages from the doctors and nurses some say the heart can last days going this fast and others say I will go into cardiac arrest if it stays that high 30 minutes or longer. I'm so confused on what the right answer is I'm tired of going to the emergency room every time I have a panic attack!

I stopped taking the blood pressure medication because that increase the heart rate every single time now I just exercise and diet never have a problem again

Another excellent video by Sanjay...as usual!! :)

Hi this is chandini iam 29yrs house wife. By heat beat is always more than 107 what might be reason

This is a awesome video and I needed to see this....I am 44, and I get rapid heartbeat episodes and have had 12 EKGS during rapid heart rate episodes... It just showed regular heartbeat but fast like 156 was the highest I ever went... I'm peri menopausal and I experience this usually before my period or shortly after but it causes me so much anxiety...thank you for this video it gives me reassurance and I watch a lot of your videos and appreciate everyone 👍🏻

My son (7 years old) has a resting heart rate of 130… pediatrician did blood cultures , came back negative...sent us to emergency after he was sick, noticing a elevated heart rate... emergency scanned his heart.ekg… all good.. sent us home, head ER doctor said my son was likely still fighting the infection or sickness he had just gotten over. Went back to pediatrician a week later , all signs of sickness all gone he says, but heart rate still high… sends us to cardiologist a week later.. she does all kind of tests and says everything is normal with his heart, she see’s no issues .. any ideas? he has no fever and and oxygen is 97-99%.. im lost! its been a month now with this .. son has no complaints of pain or discomfort, breathing, etc…Blood pressure is also normal.

I wish I watched this along time ago, I had svt and it took a long time to find out, I’ve now ( after horrid heart stopping drugs) had an ablation and wow I feel great. But it’s funny it’s like having hic ups and they stop and you’re waiting for the next one. Anyway my question is , it’s been two years and I’m getting a few sudden fast beats again, is it possible for it to happen again? Last time my p and t waves merged. I don’t want to go back to Dr cos I’d feel silly if it’s not possible to get it gain. Thank you.

The blood pressure medication cause me to have a fast heartbeat and I stopped it and I never went back to it

My heart beat races while I am resting or sleeping not all the time but sometimes. I do not know the rate of it while it is happening all I can say is I can surely feel it. I had this before my Diabetic & blood pressure. I am 42 years old.

Thank you for this helpful, easy to understand video. I have had fast heart beat since I was in my late 20's, so has my sister and now my daughter, age 27 is also having them. My doctor put me on beta blockers and I have been on them for years. I hate to see my daughter go on a drug all of her life, too. She is an ultra marathon runner, US Naval Academy graduate, and just seems odd that she would get this too since she is so fit. If there is any guidance you can give for her being in such great shape.

Thank you for such an informative and thorough explanation. Your calm demeanor is also very helpful. Your patients are lucky to have you

Good morning doctor, greatest humanitarian act for the millions of health conscious patients, thanks for such a good work and good wishes

If you have 'unusually' (for you) high, or "pounding" heartrate, and prolonged, in response to big meals, after exercise, or any triggers including anxiety, it could be an early warning sign of hyperthyroidism. I wish I got tested sooner but I just put it down to "anxiety". Now I have to suffer much stronger responses, and more. My thyroid tested normal when I first noticed the symptoms, but don't ignore it if it keeps going on, or worsens. For me it was years before it relatively quickly got very bad and I finally sought help (I think for me it was triggered by a virus+menstruation) now I'm on beta blockers, and a high dose of anti-thyroid drugs, the latter takes time to really work, meanwhile I suffer day and night, sometimes it's very stressful

Mine was 94 when I went to bed 109 when I got up and 132 a few minutes after

Hello Doc .. I’ve been to a cardiologist, had a stress test and 24 hour holter done .. both came back normal .. but every time I eat my heart rate spike to 120’s and stays elevated for hours maybe 5 or 6 . Any ideas what could be wrong ?

This happened while in relaxation mode watching TV. Thought I was dying. It gradually raised abd gradually went low.

Dr Sanjay is very good with explaining heart stuff I wish he was in USA practicing

My heart is always above 100 as per my Samsung fit band. It's always 100-120. Should I be worried?

Thank you so much! I have been short of breath and my heart rate has gone over 100 lately . I am using a wrist blood pressure cuff. It has been freaking me out. I am out of shape . Been very inactive since I hurt my knees and I also have asthma . I have thought it may be anxiety since I do have an anxiety disorder but because it had gone over 100 I have freaked out which I think is making it worse and I just turned 65 which I think is freaking me out but of course I am trying to stay calm for which I am not succeeding . I had many tests done on my heart a year and a half ago and the doctor was very happy with it . He wanted me to lose 80 lbs in 4 months and come back. Well I didn't go back because I didn't lose the weight . Well yesterday I weighed myself and I had lost 51 lbs which is wonderful but I am getting short of breath on and off and my heart goes over 100. The worse it has gone was 140 and I was in a full blown anxiety attack . I really don't have those very often but I think the age thing is upsetting me more than I realize. Does this make since ? I will see my doctor real soon. Maybe he won't notice the 30 lbs. Hahahahaha . But regardless of what is going on I'm determined to get the weight off of which I am proud of myself so far. You helped me to calm down and not worry so much . I will see the doctor in the next 2 days . If it seems too much I will go to the emergency room . But I feel much better ! Thank you !

Cervical instability can also cause it. I wake up between 3 am and 5 am heart rate increased to nearly 168 bpm ( Apple Watch) trapezius muscle tight and hurting. I have central and left side c3 c4 c5 disc compression. Once the pain subsides and I bear down and breathe ( pucker technique) it eventually levels out. I have had EKG’s and Troponin levels all check out good.

these videos really help me to understand psvt. i am still afraid to exercise... can u explain what can cause the hear to slow down upon standing and then speed back up?

I’m petite 76 female. My thyroid was removed no cancer. I have a mild form of HF. YESTERDAY MY BP was121/72 HR 70. This morning my heart started to beat faster. BP 127/78 HR 95. I believe my thyroid meds are too high. I’m allergic to Levothyroxine, I’m on Armour 60mcg. I started it when my weight was 134. While on a low carb diet my weight went to 115. This is over 2 month period. I have been keeping my blood pressure normal with diet. BP make me sick and very sleepy. I’m was on a very low dose. Thank you for info

Thank you Doctor, you explain it better. Listening to you puts me at ease and to manage myself in this diagnosis.

Thank you very much Sanjay it was very helpful

I notice that my heart rate is faster during my monthly cycle. Is that normal? thanks!

I was place on a beta blocker labetalol 800mg morning and night and it was not reducing my blood pressure as needed so I suddenly stop it and switch to a calcium blocker amlodipine besylate and I noticed the sudden stop of labetalol made my heart pulse to go beating high from 80 to 132 and I always feel the beating...but what I don't kn is if it is wise to still be exercising with that heart beat.....I try exercising 3miles every day with 300calories burn daily.

i had a fast heart beat a couple days ago or weeks when i was just drinking choclate milk my heart went really fast and calmed down i could feel it slamming at my chest and i was scared if i had a heart attack and i had a couple of minutes left.

I have no words to thank you for all the videos you've made. They really help to reduce anxiety about heart issues

Thank you for this info. I feel so much better now.

i get one after eating. feels horrible.

Dr. I am so grateful for your videos. it gives me a great peace of mind when dealing with my constant heart tachycardia and palpitations.

Dr Sanjay you are the best! God bless you and your family!! You have helped me a lot in my condition

Your videos are so helpful and informative. Thank you so much!

How can my loop recorder shows sudden spikes in heart rate up to 350 bpm. I’ll be having tachycardia around 150 then sudden spikes anywhere from 200 to 350. They literally only last a second or so, but will occur multiple times for a roughly 6 seconds. How is this possible.

Great way of explaining the way the heart works regarding the pace or rhythm for the everyday citizen---good job :-) Thank you.

I had a loop recorder fitted early last year having suffered tachycardia for 25 years and not being able to get a diagnosis. At the same time it was found I was low on Vit D, after taking perscribed Vit D I have not had one episode of tachycardia, not one, nothing.

thank you..wish you were in Tampa fl..I need to get checked out.

Normal heart rate. Should emphasize RESTING.

Anyone that’s ever had a heart rate over 150 for no reason at rest is going to worry…

Thank you so much for your channel and your advice. I have IST, and this resource has been invaluable. Please keep it up.

Hi dr. Thnx for the video, it was informative. Recently i am having fast heart rate over 140 while doing simple things like cleaning the house or using the stairs, yesterday i had fatigue and extremely high heart rate while having sex, it was for few minutes, i had to stop to take breath, and terminate the process. Recently im facing difficulty in having erection. Since covid19 started, i was positive for three times until now, and my heart is not normal since then. I have high cholesterol levels, extra weight of +15 kg from optimal weight. My age is 38, married with kids. I have sleeping problems, like stress, not easy to fall asleep, asthma. Before few months i went to the hospital explaining this, but they juat did atropine test and it was normal, so they discharged me saying i have no issues, my ECG was normal, but my smart fit watch always notifying me that i have heart arrithmia, or premature pulses. What i should do?

Amazing information. You have convinced me more than my own so called cardiologist has managed to do. Appreciate your help.

I have Sinus Tachycardia. Should I worry? Is it a great problem? Most of the time I am in anxiety. My heart rate is randomly 75/80/90/120.. Please, Sir, reply. Thanks.

I have severe digestive issues and when my stomach is upset I have crazy heart palpitations. I have this and now I wake from sleep with tachycardia for sometimes up to one minute before it slows down. Lately though my stomach is more and more upset and I'm getting more and more tachycardia. The only thing that slows it down is burping. That's it and I have some crazy heavy belching when I have these episodes. What in the world is going on?

Hi Am having fast heart beat for 1 to 2 minutes when I was at resting position.Particulary when am lying in a bed,during that time of sleep, getting Palpitations for 1 or 2 minutes..I have done ECG,ECHO, treadmill test.everything is fine.I don't know what to do for that.During daytime,am not getting any palpitations,am going for swimming class,yoga class, playing cricket.Everthing is normal.only palpitations occured if am lying on bed for sleep.After that am stressed and anxious,scare to sleep again..please help me

Where’s the cure!

Hi I'm really sorry this is late but....; My heart rate is really high at 135 and I'm 13 Should I be worried ?

Thank you for making these vidoes!

Hello dr. usually my HR is around 80-100/min,but when i do running and any cardio exersice it beats up to 190/min on machine,and sometime i feel fain but there is no any chest pain. so,what should i consider it.

What about a fast heart beat after having a heavy fatty meal?

Hi there Mr Gupta . I'm a 39 yr female who Is told I need a heart transplant . I have have SVT my heart rate goes up to 220 pm and I have a difib device . Im a poor eater and weights about 54 kgs . I got difib 20times in a space of 1 hr . I'm have stayed in hospital for 8days afraid to go home . The difib was set at 135 bpm and I think that was to low . I'm on spircton 5mgs , bilacor 10mgs ,lenxon 2.5, aracor 200mgs and alaprin half (pressure meds ) I always have low blood pressure 99/65 and a times it goes lower . I did an angio and all Is clear . I don't eat much food no apatite . Im afraid I don't know what to do anymore . I was given options of a device that's attached to the right side of the heart provided the heart is strong on that side so it's a hole on the side of the heart and this device provides constant flow of blood to the heart and it runs on 4 batteries with a cord sticking below the rib cage a everywhere u go u tag this around . There will be no swimming once this is put in. The other is a transplant and for that I need a donor .

superb! brilliantly done...I'm really happy n grateful u did this video...

So if you’re able to get it to calm down on your own, what are the odds it’s something you need to worry about?

my heart beats is going very very fast and my hearts pain. from 3 days iam suffering this problems. i am 14 years old what should i doo . i fell that i will die

Hello Dr. Gupta, if my fast heart rate causes by stress or anxiety, do you recommend I should take Beta-blocker or anti anxiety medicine? Thank you!

I have anxiety and I always feel my pulse in my legs and hands and my hearts always beating fast

I have erratic irregular rapid heartbeats that can shoot up to 157-167 bpm late in the evening. I find if I take slow deep breaths I can bring it down. There is no dizziness or heart pain. Oxygen is about 98. I have found that magnesium can help also.

I’m a 34 year old woman & my resting heart rate is between 85-100. Often I’ll be sitting and it’s 98-103. I am about 50 lbs over weight and started working with a trainer 2 months ago. My trainer got worried because when I do moderate exercise it goes up to as high as 194. So long story short is I’m getting checked out…. Thank you for your videos.

I’m experiencing a rapid heart beat after mitral valve heart repair. It has gone up nearly 20 beats per minute since my surgery 3 months ago both my resting and walking. I take magnesium glycinate 400 mg per day and a baby aspirin just since surgery.

Thanks for mentioning anemia and specifically iron deficiency. I have low ferritin (Iron deficiency) and am not anemic ( I have slipped into being anemic over the years, though). This information is SO important to get out there. I don't generally have a racing heart, but I do get palpitations on occasion. So many doctors only look at hemoglobin on a CBC, but don't test ferritin because they either don't know to or say ferritin is not important as long as your hemoglobin is ok. I finally got my ferritin tested at age 44, and I had to change doctors to do it!
