- In this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta discusses Lone AFib which is when AFib occurs in patients who have no other underlying structural heart disease and discusses some of the common triggers which bring on the Afib episodes.

So wonderful to hear a professional who says let's look at the cause, instead of let's jump right to surgical procedures and drugs without even considering that. My heart appreciates you!
I'm taking magnesium and potassium supplement every day. They help control my A-Fib. My A-Fib attack will likely happen if these things happen at the same time: I didn't get enough sleep, I worked or exercise hard, I was under stressful situation, I was starving, and I didn't take my supplements. If I'm under an A-Fib attack, I would try to do deep, slow breathing. Usually that will help my heart reset its rhythm.
We need more cardiologists like you Dr. Gupta to look into the causes of Afib and to find a cure before Afib has a chance to progress. My experience so far has been that cardiologists tend to concentrate on treating the symptoms of Afib (with catheter ablation/anti-arrhythmic meds etc.) and by immediately placing Afib patients on anticoagulants. This is all understandable but I wish they had the time and resources to spend more time listening to the patient and fully assessing the potential causes, which you continue to do so admirably. Thank you again.
Thank you sir.. I am 38 and suffering from Afib from last 7/8 years. With your videos i have got lots of insights.. Thanks a ton for all this.
How did I only discover you now??? Now I will stop crying over the spilled milk and start watching all of your videos! So far they are so amazing - so straightforward and so much more respectful of the "patient" than so many doctors tend to be...so enlightening and helpful. I will get back to you for sure - soon!! THANK YOU!!
I am learning so much from your videos - I am 81 and have had afib since 2018 - thank you.
This guy is the best he really has helped me, with these videos. The stomach heart connection really spoke to me. Thank you ....
Thank you for this video . You are so nice and generous for making the time for educating us about afib.
Thank you Dr. Gupta for this video. I have lone AFib. Mine is vagal. I was diagnosed at the age of 34 after ingesting an ice-cold beverage. I didn't have any episodes for about 15 years, but now they've started occurring more frequently, usually at night when I wake up to use the toilet but also if I ingest cold foods/beverages or cough hard. I have been reading a lot of studies and papers, and I learned something I thought I would share here as you did not mention it.
Brilliant info Dr, this explains my symptoms. Some Drs I've seen at hospital A & E and ambulance service crew would benefit greatly from watching your video's.
Thank you for your generous kindness! It is appreciated immensely.
I was first diagnosed with A fib at age 48. I had been very athletic in my youth and adult life but two years post cancer treatment I was not in good athletic condition at that time.
As an ARNP with paroxysmal AF, I thank you very much for making this video! I think you are very generous to share!
Useful data. Thanks so much for trying to help us all understand our condition! One trigger for me is a really big one; the way I sleep. If I sleep actually lying down (or lying on my stomach), it's a huge trigger for afib. I have been sleeping on a wedge for years, and sometimes sleep almost sitting up. It wasn't very comfortable when I first started doing it, but have gotten a bit more used to it. This is one major thing that has helped the afib. Other huge one is taking potassium and magnesium. This really helps too.
Thank you for these videos...amazing!!!! I stumbled upon you just days ago and I'm taking my time watching one video after another absorbing everything you discuss. I've suffered a-fib since I was a very young teenager- been medicated since my mid 20's and now I'm 55. A fib was passed down from my father who eventually had a heart transplant and lived two incredible years free of his disease, until unfortunately blood cancer took over as a result from the anti rejection drugs, but he still lived two amazing years prior. Well thank you sincerely for these videos answering so many questions my doctors have never had time to answer in this detail.
Had a heart ablation done 11 days ago, doing extremely well now.
You are one of the best cardiologists on CZcams. Simple, clear and easy to understand.
Thanks again for sharing this video. Very insightful and very liberating to know the facts surrounding A-Fib.
Thank you for all this great information. Hope you continue to post.
