How to diagnose your own palpitations

Thank you for easing my mind it'd terrible going to bed thinking your not going to wake up

Not only does Dr. Gupta know his cardiology, he also understands people and how their psychology functions! I do so wish I had a cardiologist like him! That said, just listening to your video talks makes me feel there is someone there who cares - and not just about how my heart is thumping but how I feel about it. Thank you, God bless you Dr Gupta!

You've changed so many lives. Helped ease the minds of those with all heart associated issues. May God always bless you and move you to always keep helping others. Your a blessing

Very helpful--especially for those who live alone. It's so easy to become more and more anxious and to imagine the worst.

I was diagnosed with an arrythmia at 21.... now approaching 60.... still have it plus a vagus nerve thing every few months .... so far Im surviving. Thank you!

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). You have settled my mind SO much!!! I could honestly cry right now. YOU sir are a blessing!!!

I think he is one of the best cardiologist. He has empathy for heart related anxious people and relieves the minds. You are the best antidepressant Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Thank you so much.

Thanks Doctor. The world is missing a whole ton of doctors like yourself.

You are a hero.

I ADORE doctors that like to teach. You could say they have a special place in my heart ;) So many doctors get lazy and either don't want to explain things to their patients or assume their patients don't want to know. I love this kind of information.

6 years later and here I am, thank you for this very informational video you’ve helped me so much.

I get palpitations throughout the day even at rest when my heart beat is in the low 50s and it always comes on with a tension headache as well.

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 :)

my sinus tachycardia feels HORRIBLE but the heart is stronger than you think

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've suffered from severe panic attacks because of irregular heartbeat. I think this Dr just cured my anxiety problem ....

So did anyone else get palpitations while watching this video?

I sure wish our cardiologists would talk to us about this! Thank you so much for all your videos!

You're really Godsend. Puts my mind @ 90% peace. Yes, for 4 years (2011-15) I used to almost daily measure his pulse, sometimes 3-4 times daily when he wasn't feeling well since he was into COPD-Stage 4 during his last years. 2014-15 I started noticing exactly the pulse beat pattern & intensity you mentioned as AF. 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. Today also I was fortunate to have someone measure for a long time, with a portable ECG, for a long time, and put my mind at ease during these CoVid times.

I love your explanation. You’re such good human being taking care of everybody asking you for health tips. Stay safe and healthy. We need you. Thank you.
