How to diagnose your own palpitations

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).

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 :)

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.

[@M_K_M_K_M_K]

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 🙌🏻

[@loki_cane_corso_italiano7825]

They are scary, but they usually are not anything serious. A good magnesium will stop palpations, amazon has magnesium lysinate glycinate that's by doctor's best, its cheated too. A great magnesium for heart health and to stop the eptopic beats

[@loki_cane_corso_italiano7825]

T G even better, buy yourself magnesium, on amazon, doctors best magnesium lysinate glycinate, a super absorbing magnesium. I'm a doctor, i work in epidemiology reserch, but i have eptopic beats myself, and they are nothing. But if you take your blood pressure, esp when eptopic beats happen, youre going to have increased anxiety, fight or flight and that will increase your BP. So you may get worried by a high BP, but it's only increasing from the adrenaline

[@TheLetterK81]

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.

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

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.

Hello Dr. Your words and videos have been extremely reassuring to me over the past couple of weeks.

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.

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!!

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).

Try using magnesium every day. Watch your salt intake, also spices, alcohol, caffeine and preservatives. Maybe you need to lose weight. When you have the attack try a laxative. If you can't sleep at night a low dosage of a sleeping pill can help. I don't use sleeping pills to often coz I don't want to get addicted. But if I have the attack 2 nights in a row I take a 2 mg sleeping pill or less.

Do u still have them

[@goddesst]

I use to get them really bad at a stressful time in my life, having them stressed me out even more 😔 i started working out more which helped but i would still get them sometimes. One day i took some magnesium pills and chamomile tea for pms and noticed it took the fast heartbeat away too. Now i take that whenever I'm stressed and it works.

[@exxzxxe]

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.

[@averyislove2009]

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!!!

[@samnaga310]

Yeah I been getting them same symptoms but I'm trying to naturally allow my body to adjust.breathing deep helps sometimes .im going against the grain bit it seems to slowly be helping.im going to get checked Wednesday just in case .but I doubt it's anything major.its been a week it happens when I think about it ..something definitely happens but I feel like I enable it .when I get distracted it goes away..hope you feel better 🍻 cheers

How are you?

[@kl3mm3r86]

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 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.

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

Cause of skipping heartbeats discovered: double dose of Flomax (as directed by doctor).

Wots it like nowdys after you have taken flomax

[@mwngw]

@@kevinharvey8490 ....stopped taking Flomax 1 1/2 years ago. Went ahead with a laser TURP and got my prostate shaved off some. One very bad scenario is a double dose of Flomax....it can mess your heart up and the docs don't know that.

[@FullTimePatient37]

Your videos are so calming it's like ASMR...

[@LauraHarrop]

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.

[@lethalchaos19]

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 :)

[@helenahayes6150]

Mine only comes as I fall asleep. Waking up and getting out of bed will stop it. Typically wakes me up along with a nightmare at 4am in the morning. A green smoothie with Kale, frozen raspberries, almond milk and a quarter cup of flaxseeds will soften it so I can sleep through the night. Can still feel it but the pounding is much softer.

[@pleaseshare8891]

How are you now? same here

[@helenahayes6150]

@@pleaseshare8891 Much better. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea - one of the most severe cases they had seen, but they told me it was not the MOST severe they had seen. I have a CPAP machine now, and that has made a huge difference. However, life is never easy for me. I developed very painful neuropathy in my things. Its so painful in the middle of the night that I am afraid to go to sleep. If I take panadol or aspirin to reduce the pain, this makes the sleep apnea worse again. Such is life. Trying to lose weight to help both conditions.

It comes on when ever it feels. Yes it feels abnormal then when I get my heart checked it’s fine. But no pain it almost feels like gas mine feels like a skip

I do think it's gas. I get palpitations when I'm constipated.

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!

[@Thumper427]

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.

[@WuWamaxxx]

How are you now ? Im having same issues 🤧

[@robinmathews6291]

Have you checked into inappropriate sinus tachycardia? I have it and this is one of the symptoms

[@leod-sigefast]

Thank you! After about 10 years of noticing palpitations, starting in my early 30s, and not knowing how serious mine were, you have helped me to diagnose them as Premature Atrial Complex (8:04). I always get that sudden momentary 'stop' of the heart (which is terrifying as you wonder if it is going to start beating again..or not!) then a couple of 'thud' heart beats as it kicks back into gear. I did drink a lot of alcohol in my 20s and 30s and put it down to that. I have since quit alcohol (4 years) and my palpitations are less frequent now but I do still get random palpitations. It is usually after eating a big meal, dinner time usually, drinking tea or coffee. I just had a tea and chocolate bar after dinner and got a sudden palpitation that caught me off guard (stop.... *thud* , *thud* ,... go), took my breath away almost! Hence, I looked for a medical video to reassure me they are OK!! Your video is literally a life safer! Thanks.

[@Jbsutt]

I only have palpitations when lying down--and they scare the hell outta me. Also it does this thing where about every 6th or 7th beat,on average, it seems like theres a pause......and then what feels like a couple quick beats almost as if its "catching up". Maybe you covered it here but i didnt notice it.

So I was born with aortic stenosis, bicuspid. I’m 32 now and have been getting “palpitations” or what I think are palpitations for a year and a half. The cardiologist I have now here in LV NV has said that my heart is doing good just needs exercise and says that will help with the “palpitations”. I asked him if they will cause me heart to just seize/give out. Which is always on my mind which causes anxiety and then they happen more. But he said that it can happen not some people with different heart problems but that I’m benign. And my spasms or flutters are in the lower middle of chest to the xiphoid area. Now I believe my cardiologist when he says that my heart is good and just needs a little work out. Which I’m doing and I’ve even changed my diet to make sure I am as healthy as I can be. I still get the spasms or flutters and of course I start to become anxious. Is there anyone that is older than I am that has lived with the same issues? I just need another piece of mind. I know as well I’ll eventually have to get a valve replacement I’m just hoping it won’t be till I’m 60.

[@DeshonnaBrown]

Mine comes when I have gas in my chest

[@mer.i.p.3704]

Yes. Omg. I’ve figured it out after 3 years. I realized it’s during burping. Or when laying on back or left side. The moment I drop into bed it’s boom...boom..........BOOM.boom boom boom boom.....then back to normal pace.

I have a fast heart rate all the time and multiple palpitations throughout the day, sometimes I have a tense feeling in the chest and I get hot and sweaty, all of this happens when just relaxing, I had a 7 day test which found alot of palpitations and a fast heart rate pretty much all the time so I've been referred to a cardiologist. My heart rate is average between 100 to 130 at rest but increases quickly if I do anything.
