Heart Attack Signs: 1 MINUTE TEST - Dr. Berg

In this video, Dr. Berg teaches you a simple test to rule out the risk of a heart attack. It's all about your recovery after exercise. Those people who can recover fast have a lower risk of getting a heart attack. This stems from the system that controls recovery - the autonomic nervous system, specifically - the parasympathetic. This system is always in the background causing you to recover and bounce back.
Assess your resting pulse rate, then peak pulse rate after 1 minute of exercise (70% of max.), then re-check your recovery pulse rate 1 minute later. Subtract the Peak pulse rate from the recovery pulse rate to get your number.
Less than 12 beats recovery: Higher Risk
13-20: Moderate Risk
21-40: You're good
40+: Real fit

This need explanation. After 1 min (first minute) exercise, u check the rate for 1 minute (2nd minute). Are u going to rest 1min after the counting and take the counting again at 4th minute? Or u just take the 2nd count (recovery) right after the 1st count?

[@Note-dy6yd]

Raising the pulse up to 162 in 1 minute of rigorous exercise is too much unless you had the good body and ability to push yourself to the borderline such as you jumped up 60 times in 60 seconds, or 500 punches in a minute., or running crazy on trade-meal. Yes, 162 is possible however coming down from 162 to 100 in 1 minute reveals the fact that you are a devoted man of harsh exercise for years or you have been a friend of moderate exercise all your life.

Brian Miller: Thanks for your general comment. I have all the symptoms you said , since years, and they come from...doctors and others maltreating me and withholding the right help, treatment , info and support. They have even taken my home and small sick pension, my life savings and a private loan. my traumatic Aspergers' (Highly sensitive persón too) since birth (mother traumatized, she has not sought healing) apparently makes me hard to understand, or less convenient for all those who want it easy and simple, as well as they not knowing about survival behaviours, and of severe stress reactions and attempts to protect oneself. It is all in books and YT, Idk how they can miss it. I have severe Anchylosing spondylitis too, and Hg toxicity. Struggle with bad fear , stress and maybe heart symptoms come from the nerve at C7 (?) which controls heart rhythm or something? I am now too exhausted and probably subluxated and malnourished from longterm digestive impairment and breaking down of my always good teeth.They can't all be malignant narcissists or sociopaths, can they?Or unhealed wounded adult children, whose wounds get activated by meeting me? Are you a doctor, or how do you know the things you wrote? CAn there be other reasons for those symptoms? i learnt that Liver stagnation/malfúnction can give all sorts of weird symptoms, as can stress. I am underweight , with 22 years severe sleep deprivation due to trauma in psychiatry (where I sought the right therapy for years) Please reply if you have time! I don't really know what to do or how to survive, when they are hostile to a vulnerable patient and no-one seems to want to help me, they don't know, and don't get the idea of communicating with me, They seem to think I am impossible, although I have studied alternative medicine etc for many years, to assess and help myself. Evne TCM-Dr seemed really scared or st like it as she dismissed me without telling me what her examination said. I have read that Chinese Drs don't tell patients if they are likely to die, but she never understood my problem fundamentally,and also not how society and medical world functions today. I have got some bad response to my preference to more peaceful alternatives to pharmaceuticals, unless they are necessary. ( I was into them for many years long ago, never helped me). This got long, just for background, so that your possible reply can be grounded...Best!

I've occasionally track my recover heart-rate while deadlifting (try to get it in during each 5-day training cycle) and I'll usually get my heartrate into the 140s and 150s when pulling heavy weight and it's usually back down to 80 or so when I'm ready to knock-out the next set a minute or so later. While walking is great, we older folks need to move some moderate to heavy weight as part of a regular HIIT program. Cheers!

The DR looked at my results after (I guess he had a print out of the heart beat or something) and said I was good after looking at it. No mention of the long time it took for my heart rate to come back down. I don't even know if the tech told him. They said I was fine. I had no clue at the time, but know I know after watching this.

[@bluceree7312]

So just to get this right. the test is: A- resting heart rate taken at any time basically. B- peak heart rate taken immediately after a high to very high intensity exercise. C- recovery heart rate taken one minute after the peak rate. But it takes time to get the pulse rate after the peak. So my rate starts at 30 pulses in the first 10 seconds, 25 in the next 10 seconds, 20 in the following 10, and so forth. Means I get to test the recovery 2 minutes after the peak, which basically goes down to resting, more or less. Am I doing it correctly? or maybe the Dr meant to say count your heart rate immediately after the exercise but for only 10 seconds, multiply by 6. Wait 1 minute and take the rate again for 10 seconds only, multiply by 6 and subtract from the higher rate.

LiV: it comes natural with anxiety, and you should get help. HAve you done all you can yurself, sunny walks with penduling arms, healthy food, quit sugar /refined flour and artificial food stuffs, eating good regular meals 3 x/day, seeing soem OK ppl, having somewhere to go, maybe doing sth artistic or what you like(d)? DOn't do the test, or ask psychiatry to do it (write down how it goes in case of nervousness in there). that is the least they could do for you. Beware of sadists though; A dr whom I asked to do the Adrenal exhaustion tests, reversed the results and claimed I was OK, although the result said exactly what I learned, and i have every symptom anyway, which he has hinted to know of many years ago("I bet you feel better towards evening") They can be "allergic" to vulnerable, sensitive patients. Shouldn't receive them then, or help themselves beforehand. Do pray and meditate, is my best advice, get a connection with your inner self, healer, Creator. It is not good to have anxiety for many years. Do you have Amalgam fillings ? Is your spine straight, i e double s-curved as normal? A physiotherapist who was not serious, said: " It is no wonder you have anxiety and depression with these spinal ...pressing nerves to your heart...."I asked her to write it down for me to get treatment. She wouldn't, and then wrote sth else, didn't want to own it. It is good to have some healthy relatives or friends to speak and get help, many professionals neglect sick weak ones who are alone. Dr Berg, why is that? Do they despise weakness, get anxious themselves as it reminds them of life's and their own fragility? DO they want it easy and comfortable? Do the have antipathy Are they not allowed to help, like the chiropractors there, who are only allowed to do minor things, not holistic treatment? Take care + get well!

How you wait to recover matters too, doc (standing, sitting, lying down, etc.). I'm guessing some people are going to sit down to rest. As an athlete, what I'd suggest for best accuracy is to immediately stop in whatever position of the exercise and wait the minute before you measure again.

[@CivilianSheepdog631]

I’m 53 years old did this test with a pulse ox meter used a kettle bell did swing squats till my heart rate got to 115 sustained immediately sat down started the one minute timer at the end I dropped 54 points. I was shocked and pleased it dropped so low so fast.

[@aayushtripathi3799]

Pulse shouldn't be lower than 60 unless you are highly athletic

[@samessa3155]

This a very simple way to check something very important. Dr. Berg you are the best as always, honest & straight to the point. Thank you tones

[@alexandrupatrascu7666]

Hey Dr. Berg, thanks for this information. Just made a couple of tests regarding this. Started from 70 pulse, done 1 minute of HIIT, pulse rate goes between 160-170 every time. Then after 1 minute of relax, pulse goes to 110 - 120. Tested with Apple Watch 4 times, and got same results. Great, so I guess no heart attack for me in the near future :)

[@EricBergHRV]

Wow - you ARE in great shape!

[@davidedwards1953]

Is that watch dependable. Is the watch able to get my pulse rate accurately or is better to use my fingers.

[@haris525]

Just FYI, you can get heart attacks without any CAD. Coronary spasms, and LAD can cause myocardial infarction with no evidence of CAD

[@muhibesakina5554]

Alexandru Patrascu so glad for you buddy.

Thank you Dr Berg! Saved me a trip to emergency room! I think I have anxiety.

[@IamWhiteTurtle]

@Eric Berg - Question about timing: Are you supposed to exercise 70% for 1 min, then take pulse for 15 sec (x4) and wait a minute from that point or does the recovery minute start at the end of the first minute?

[@freedomforall1602]

This is why I watched the video, looking for answer to this question. Still waiting for the answer.

[@thies1322]

It's not necessary to do 4x15 seconds. You can do 1x 15 seconds and multiply it by 4. After that you have 1 minute I guess. Nowadays, if you have a smart watch with heart rate function, then that one minute will go in immediately after the 1 minute peak training. You can see your peak immediately. Good and reliable smart watches do not have to be expensive.

[@D52M5]

He says take your pulse after the exercise, then wait one minute and take it again. He’s crystal clear about it. FYI, you can rewind the video. Good luck.

I have a resting pulse in the low 40's. I also have good blood pressure. fyi, i am in great physical condition. But I do worry it may be too low. I have been monitoring my bp and pulse for the last 6 months. I am unaware of what my pulse was in the past? I'm not sure if it's always been low or not? What could cause this dr. Berg? FYI I have been on your diet for 5 months now and feel healthier than ever! God bless you!

[@Bama18NC]

Dr. Berg. I just did this test. 48 yr old male. Resting pulse was 76. (Slightly high for me). After one minute of 70% intensity - 136. Recovery after one minute was 116.

[@rabbitgirlz4380]

How do u know 70% intensity

[@peteypops]

I was an extremely fit 73 yr old. My peak pulse was around 140 and resting 55. I had to reduce my HIT training as I found my total recovery was taking longer and longer...days. However, my recovery heart rate fitted the prescribed pattern? But my body was telling me something different. An echocardiogram and treadmill stress test in January this year, gave me the all clear as far as obvious heart problems. I had a heart attack in May...90% blockage in one carotid artery and 70% in another!! I am still a 73 year old, but I am not so fit. I get muscle pain when taking statins so I am looking forward to using a low carbohydrate diet and ditching the statins. Not at any time since my treatment ( a stent was fitted) have I received any relevant information from heart specialists on how to “cure” my arterial disease. I am hoping more good quality greens and less bad quality processed foods will be the way to go? Thanks to Dr Berg and Dr Berry , and many others, I can see a positive way forward.

[@TheFINZFAN]

@ Peter Whitmore - How you feeling? I am currently taking apple cider vinegar to remove arterial clogs and lower cholesterol. Have you tried this?

[@jaywieder5098]

Thanks for all of your videos Dr. Berg. 👍

[@HospitalmanMikey]

so pretty much a Jog-Sprint-Jog cycle on the treadmill improves recovery time?

62 year old, resting pulse rate in the forties bpm, maximum pulse rate 187 bpm, threshold pulse rate 170. Time trial cyclist all my life. Recently had a UK bio bank carotid artery check by ultrasound near the bifurcation, no arthosclerosis whatsoever with thin artery walls. Prevention is better than cure. My 1 minute drop is 32beats per minute after 1 hour exercise at threshold.

[@emmanuelbodin9595]

Hey Dr. Berg your videos are awesome! Could you please inform us how varicoceles happen and how to fix them naturally without the need of surgery? Thanks!

[@fizywig]

is this a 3 min test or a 1 min test? taking pulse rate takes 1 minute normally so 1 minute for rest pulse, 1 minute for pulse after exertion and 1 minute after recovery?

[@AndrewNobleOfficial]

It only takes 15 seconds to get a pulse rate. Multiply it by 4 to get your minute. Do your exercise and then another 15 seconds. So in actuality the test is 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

[@mariaalex3956]

[@JD-wb3pb]

So I'm 30 and am usually in decent shape, but haven't done much recently. I played in a basketball league and played back to back games. My heart rate got up in the 150-170 range. It went down more than 12 beats after one minute, but stayed in the 100-120 range for an hour or so. I was also really anxious and measuring it every few minutes.

[@Sebas-lj1gt]

This is very informativ Doc! I have something called RBBB (Right bundle branch block) and every single doctor has said the same thing to me “Don’t worry about it, just continue living your normal, healthy lifestyle. People live to be in their 80’s or 90’s with it”. But recently after getting Covid I’ve been nervous about how strong my heart rate feels at times of exercise or even sometimes at rest. I had a stress test done about 6 months ago and they said I was good and had a “healthy and strong heart”. Maybe I’m just too fucking anxious and paranoid.

Sharp pains under my left nipple under the pec muscle. Really quick and spaced often weeks apart. When I sit in my lounger, my arms are elevated and figured that giving me the pains. Dr agreed. I am being treated for high BP. Highest I recall was 190 over 120. Well 3 years passed and I easily got out of breath. Pains were more frequent. Insisted on putting this on the front burner and after a EKG came a stress test. Within that same week I had a stent put it. Seemed I had a 80% blockage!! Don't put it off and don't let your Doc throw pills at you and say lose weight. If you feel knife like stabs, shortness of breath etc, YOU make the move and get the ball rolling.
