@@donblade5405 do you take meds for it like beta blockers? I have the same thing and worried. For me i habe all symptoms of heart failure out of breathe even just laying down.

And small perdcarditis effusion small 0.7. Also trace regurgitation so small regurgitation like 3 valves im 21 and scared .
@MzDaUgly hey. I am a but scared too but beta blockers don't work for everyone. Did u have these issues before BETA BLOCKERS?? I GOT all types of odd breathless issues. Also as .mich as I hate to say this anexity issues run in my family. . I am 50 and been told I have anexity issue since I was 32. I love the beta blocker but decided to stop them when cardio doc did not want me on them 48hrs prior to a stress test so when he said that it discourage me. Never STOP taking then or any med without doctors approval. I did it on my own but slowly. Again not under my doctors approval. I am sure .y blood pressure it a wreck. But I also went straight keto diet which tends to help bp... you are so young so.. I would def rethink what ur systems where before beta blockers. We're u given this only for blood pressure and sinus tachycsrdia?? Many people get on meds for high heart rate due to sinus tachycardia but sinus tachycardia is normal for all types of situation. So people have it when they are taking to much caffeine or diet is not right. Also were u Vax? Did this stuff happen after Vax. Some other things need to be looked at. I am a mess due to genetics and old

Thank you Doctor. I use to get breathlessness and gasping almost every minute to get some breath. i kept waking up every few minutes on sleep gasping for air due to stopped breathing midsleep, that it really scares me as i hardly sleep for a week as IM afraid to die midsleep not breathing. But it doesnt affect my exercise especially football or futsal (as its actually a lung demanding sport) instead i only feel better when im doing sport. Then i realized Its actually Acid reflux disease instead of heart disease. Then i fix my eating schedule i also take medication like sucralfate. But i think the one that helps me the most is doing jogging almost every morning and afternoon. I really get the getting better feeling from doing that. Rn im much healthier even tho sometimes i also still get breathlessness but its coming just from my anxiety. And this video helps me get through it. Thank you do

I am 79, I have been doing Crossfit for 9 years. Even did reasonably well in the 65+ CrossFit open. 3 months ago I was at my doctor for something very minor. He put his stethoscope on my back/chest and said I have a murmur. Echocardiogram indicated moderate to serious mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. Also moderator serious aortic stenosis. Stress test:- METs 10.2 VOL2 Max 35.9. In a couple of weeks I will be having open heart surgery! Luckily I am excellent health and fitness.

Thank you, Dr. Gupta for these so many gifts of knowledge you keep sharing. I cannot begin to tell you how much these help. Many blessings . I am deeply grateful.
If its a panic attack, then plug one nostril shut, and take a deep breath in through other nostril. Then switch nostril's, and breathe out! Slowly both inhaling and exhaling.
I do have a idea on how to stable your breathlessness , it worked for me , but im not sure if it work the same for you. 1. Dont panic and sit up right 2. Dont take a deep breathe for as long as you can 3. Try to focus on something else that can fully distract you from the breathlessness Keep in mind that this is a idea from a random stranger and *NOT* a docter.
The thumbs down is a reaction to their own fear & unwillingness to begin their much needed diagnosis & changes in life style that is aggravating the heart health. We all know that, that have chosen to take control of our health. Kudos to you Dr. Gupta. I have started my heart journey.
That was an awesome video. Straight facts, easy to understand and I actually can remember the information and my brain can make sense of what was said. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Dr Gupta ,you are so nice to spend this time. On here And I sure appreciate all your knowledge you are an excellent doctor and I cannot thank you enough for all your information did it help me out a great deal I have a stent and I have a lot of shortness of breath ,
My breathlessness is at rest. It wakes me up at night around an hour into sleep. I'm worried. you mentioning that it may not be a critical health condition gave a some mental relief. I'm still going to get checked by my doctor. Thanks for the information!
Thanks for your concern guys, it was a mixture of intense anxiety, nutritional deficiencies, insomnia and caffeine sensitivity. Turns out coffee helps me go to sleep but doesn't keep me asleep (I was tested for sleep apnea two years ago, but if I saw this comment I would assume the same)
@@iidevilsspawnii6506 do you feel that when you breath normally you have the need of wanting to breath heavily because that's what happens to me but breathing normally decreases the heavy breathing because I fight it
Your videos are very informative. I just recently had an ekg showing “undiagnosed” left atrial enlargement, having a stress test and echocardiogram this week. I found your channel and you have totally taken my stress away.
I always thought that my breathlessness was more due to lung problems than heart but I want to work closely with my doctor for this! ... I'm only 35, this is making me feel a bit sad!
Thank you Dr Gupta for all your CZcams presentations. I've watched quite a few now and it is helping me so much. My LVMI has doubled since my previous 2D Echo test and your videos have helped me to understand what is going on and how I need to take action to prevent matters getting worse. You make everything so easy to understand. I thank you from the bottom of my very imperfect heart.
I have had it when I bend my head down when I'm sitting. It rarely happens, but is still kinda scary to think it could be serious. I also have neck strain from looking at my phone, or computer for hours. It's hard to avoid because I work on a computer all day. I also have had problems where I wake up feeling like i forgot to breath in, or something. But it's not as bad as before, when I would wake up several times a night. Now it will only happen once. It could all be stress related.....I've never had any problems when exercising
Thank you. My sister had triple bypass surgery 4 months ago and she gets breathless but not every day. It is concerning because she thinks she should be much better by now. The breathless episode just last a few minutes and she will be seeing her cardiologist next month to ask him about it. Thank you again.
Hi Cheryl, how's your sister doing? Did she geta diagnosis or a remedy? My Dad had a triple heart bypass nearly 2 years ago and gets exhausted on minimal exertion. He's had so many tests but they can't diagnose the problem.
@@clarkbrechin7970 most cardiologists don’t care and don’t adress the problem they ignore and are too lazy to figure it out because they don’t update their learning by reading new studies
I was looking online for why one can be breathless is atelactasis following anesthesia so look into that. Several forms but obstructive atelactasis would result from having tube down trachea.
My hb 10 but ferritin 6...bt doctors dont admit it to be possible at 10 haemoglobin..my problem not going..how much it took for you to recover nd become normal
This eased my anxiety a bit hearing that if it was a heart problem it would get worse with exercise. I think I have bad anxiety attacks and the last 3 days I’ve been having trouble breathing when I’m not laying down. Exercise and Yoga help (or at the very least, temporarily reduce breathlessness).
Thanks doctor. I like your vids more than any others online. You make it easy for me to understand my heart 💗 .I am.over weight but I'm solid thick build kind of guy. Even on drugs years ago and strung out not eat well at all I was 180 pounds at my worst. I'm now 250 pounds and I have not weight lifting for 2 years since refuse covid vaccines I have gained fat and no gym . I'm out of breath walking even I noticed yesterday. No chest pains lately but I had weird flutters and feeling sensation in heart recently. I'm going for a heart EKG for my Suboxone treatment and I do have left ventricular hypertrophy as well. I'm afraid I'm have something seriously wrong in my heart . Come to think of it I'm catch my breath alot lately even at rest , something is wrong. Thank you and I'm Go for EKG soon. I'm on several medications for high blood pressure and I'm taking aspirin daily or every second day. These heart issues scare me .
The reason why I ask I was taking bisoprolol and it was causing breathlessness. When I stopped taking it my breathing improved. My cardiologist mentioned this can happen in a small percentage of people. I’m not saying to stop taking your medicine but it’s worth looking into and asking your doctor.
@@mirocabraja5128 yes I was. Wise to stop taking those as well. Terrible stuff. Doctors keep us on drugs that only weaken us long term and cause future health problems. It's an evil viciious systym of big pharma scientists make new drugs to keep us on something. Evil evil government as well. I'm done with all medications for close to 6 months now and im healthier than ever before and lowest bodyfat % and most muscle mass now. The system had me for years. Never again. Thanks for the tips and comments .
I am a man aged 70 who suffers with breathlessness caused by angina which was only diagnosed about 10 years ago even though it started to be a problem 30 years ago....I started to struggle on stairs and even collapsed once or twice,but never had any chest pain until 10 years ago when I began to experience chest pressure on walking uphill which became a problem.But if I stopped for just a few seconds the pressure subsided.It was a strange sensation but I literally could not take another step, I felt like something inside was about to burst open!Anyway I had the angiogram ,got the angina diagnosis...I have more than one narrowed artery,and I was given the Nitromin spray which I never got on with....It did not prevent the breathlessness,in fact it made it worse ...I literally had to wait for the stuff to wear off before I could take a single step.Believe it or not I still have not used up the first spray I was given 10 years ago!But lately my symptoms have worsened and I often feel like I am about to pass out even walking up a slight incline and I start staggering like a drunken man,It's made me reluctant to go out but I am alone and need to get to the shops on foot.
I am.50 and feel.like.i am.in your shoes. Or a few steps. Back.. my issues of light breathlessness started 38. And just something now right but every so often it would b worse with high heart rate and blood pressure. No I experience what u are saying with stairs 100
Thanks again Dr Guptor. Yes I presented to my GP with breathlessness and medicated last July. No remission so my GP naturally passed me to a certain Respiratory Consultant who diagnosed Dysfunctional Breathing which was passed back to my GP with no BNP taken by the consultant. More exercise/treadmill and gym work needed apparently. One week later extremely acute breathlessness, back to hospital and the receiving doctor echoed and found heart failure within 30 minutes.
Thank you youre so sweet! If you have a chance, do you have any advice for this situation? My Dr is stumped :/.... I have breathlessness but perfectly fine O2 levels, dizzines/weakness/being off balance with low blood pressure that seems to fluctuate (will be getting a new cuff to double check). I habe asthma and allergies and anxiety but my symptoms feel different than anything I feel from any of those and are mostly while at rest. Upon excercising more they improve until Im done and then are typically worse. Ive always felt this was related to blood sugar, but again numbers are completely normal o.o... No pressure to answer if youre busy or arent sure... Again just thank you for the video and stay well ❤
My husband had Long QT syndrome that went undiagnosed until his autopsy. He also had asthma so in hindsight I often wonder how many instances of breathlessness were heart related rather than asthma.
Thank you Dr. Gupta for your informative video's you have made a big difference to my life in understanding these problems more comprehensively. Take care.
I have chest pain, but it’s very brief and random. Normally when I get short of breath, it’s after I eat if I sit down. Could I just have a case of acid reflux?
I can relate to you all. I am short of breath and it all started 9 months ago. Seen a pulmologist, cardiolist, and some many trips to the PC. Lungs are fine, they did all kinds of test my lungs check out good. I do have AFIB but only occasionally after much study and research I don't think its my heart causing it but it could be. The labored breathing is such a mystery I can't figure it out. I am fit I walk miles every day and not out of breath. I had a stress test done (2 hours) on the treadmill everything was near perfect. Even now as I type when I take a deep breath every 2 or 3 breaths dont' seem to fill the lungs but I can breathe. It is so strange to try to find the cause. Could be plain ole anxiety. I lost my wife 5 years ago and my son 3 years ago lots of stress and the pros say stress is aculmulative it never leaves you you just manage it throughout your lifetime. I deep breathe this sometimes helps. Its like something in either my gut or diaphram is causing it. Still looking for answers. The docs don't know what it is, they just tell me what it IS NOT..more or less. My minerals I take daily I have a great diet I walk I do all the things you are supposed to do. I many never find out but I will not stop trying.
Same thing happens to me. Everything goes well i work i play for hours but still i feel short of breathe sometimes and taking deep breath sometimes it hepls! Seen a pulmonologist he says everything is f9 and i don't know what triggers this prob!
@@devendra4233 Ya it is a crazy thing All my life I have been good. It is either a mineral dificicency, stress, physical issue (which I am trying t rule out) or something else. I made a list and wrote down the following. Good or bad marriage, unforgiving someone, bad relationship somewhere, Physical trama, in trouble with the gov or something, or some other issue..all of them checked out. The only thing that seems to keep coming back to me is one thing STRESS. That's where I am thinking is causing this breathlessness especially losing 2 of my loved ones which was real hard on me. But even then still not sure. I didn't have stress breathing issue before they died, that I know. Well I will continue to update the findings.
I have the same problems and my heart and lungs have been ruled out. I was told it could be a hiatal hernia, which does have to do with the diaphram so you might want to have that tested.
You're a wonderful human being, thank you very much on behalf of me and a bunch of other strangers on the internet ❤😊 Also a question, should one get their calcium levels checked if they have high blood pressure and will vitamins D3 and K2 help the body to absorb calcium therefore plaques, lessening the chance of a heart attack/clot ?
I discovered cucumber was causing me breathlessness. Took me over a year to figure it out!😂 (It was only when I was on holiday and didn't have salad with my meals). Also dairy, peppers, potatoes, aubergines...deadly nightshade family were also causing it. It go so bad (before I realised the cause) and the docs were just prescribing me betablockers (I didn't take them). I do suffer from anxiety, but I was getting panic attacks daily and usually after eating. Standing up and having a little walk (even in the house) can help, and to avoid foods that you think might be causing problems. Nowadays I rarely have panic attacks thankfully!
Thank you Dr. Gupta for sharing. All of your videos that I have listened to have been so helpful. May GOD richly Bless you for you kindness in sharing your knowledge with others. I am certain with just sharing your knowledge you have saved many lives. You have given me a lot of peace and understanding as to my newly diagnosed condition. I am not one to go the conventional route and am determined to conquer this holistically and with faith in YAHUSHUAH and by HIS WORD that by HIS stripes, we are healed. Nutrition and rest heals. Drugs kill.
Hey Sunjay, I've started getting these so called ectopic beats for a few months, they've gone away for two months and started again with other symptoms like dizziness, should I consider increasing my potassium and magnesium intake? I got tested a few months ago and I have a structurally normal heart, blood pressure is fine and they suggested the 24 hour test however said its not completely necessary so I didn't go ahead with that.
For all of you with anxiety I strongly recommend taking meditation classes. It teaches u how to breathe slowly and steadily so that it becomes natural state and u can control your anxiety and reactions to lifes pressures. I did 40 years ago...no longer necessary...i'm 70 y.o. bless you all.

3. Try to focus on something else that can fully distract you from the breathlessness
Keep in mind that this is a idea from a random stranger and *NOT* a docter.
Are tou experiencing shortness of breath?
This idea is better than any doctor can give
I love an appreciate you Dr. Gupta. You are kind & gracious to teach and share your knowledge to help us. :)
The thumbs down is a reaction to their own fear & unwillingness to begin their much needed diagnosis & changes in life style that is aggravating the heart health. We all know that, that have chosen to take control of our health. Kudos to you Dr. Gupta. I have started my heart journey.
That was an awesome video. Straight facts, easy to understand and I actually can remember the information and my brain can make sense of what was said. Thank you!
Thank you
It was worth watching
Thank you so much Dr. Gupta for taking your valuable time to do this video. The information is so helpful.
Thank you so much. Dr Gupta ,you are so nice to spend this time. On here And I sure appreciate all your knowledge you are an excellent doctor and I cannot thank you enough for all your information did it help me out a great deal I have a stent and I have a lot of shortness of breath ,
My breathlessness is at rest. It wakes me up at night around an hour into sleep. I'm worried.
you mentioning that it may not be a critical health condition gave a some mental relief. I'm still going to get checked by my doctor. Thanks for the information!
That sounds like sleep apnoea. Did you get a diagnosis?
It's hy
Hyperventilation
Thanks for your concern guys, it was a mixture of intense anxiety, nutritional deficiencies, insomnia and caffeine sensitivity. Turns out coffee helps me go to sleep but doesn't keep me asleep (I was tested for sleep apnea two years ago, but if I saw this comment I would assume the same)
@@iidevilsspawnii6506 do you feel that when you breath normally you have the need of wanting to breath heavily because that's what happens to me but breathing normally decreases the heavy breathing because I fight it
Your videos are very informative. I just recently had an ekg showing “undiagnosed” left atrial enlargement, having a stress test and echocardiogram this week. I found your channel and you have totally taken my stress away.
How are you doing?
Excellent. Thank you , Dr Gupta!
Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Doctor for doing this. Having to wait a long time for hospital appointment due to Covid so it’s reassuring to have some advice. God Bless
I always thought that my breathlessness was more due to lung problems than heart but I want to work closely with my doctor for this! ... I'm only 35, this is making me feel a bit sad!
so what's the diagnosis?
How are you now?
Thank you for explaining this clearly
Great public service thank you very much.
recently came across these videos, loving them !!!
Thank you Dr Gupta for all your CZcams presentations. I've watched quite a few now and it is helping me so much. My LVMI has doubled since my previous 2D Echo test and your videos have helped me to understand what is going on and how I need to take action to prevent matters getting worse. You make everything so easy to understand. I thank you from the bottom of my very imperfect heart.
Thank you Dr. Gupta...much appreciated your video...Many Blessings to you...
you are spot on with this video. i just found it. wish i found it 3 months ago. yes, you are correct on every thing you said.
This was very useful. I’m 30 and I get short of breath when I lay down. Bend forward or get up too fast. Anyone else here experience that?
Have also been experiencing short of breath and fast heart pumptation and an 31
I have had it when I bend my head down when I'm sitting. It rarely happens, but is still kinda scary to think it could be serious. I also have neck strain from looking at my phone, or computer for hours. It's hard to avoid because I work on a computer all day.
I also have had problems where I wake up feeling like i forgot to breath in, or something. But it's not as bad as before, when I would wake up several times a night. Now it will only happen once. It could all be stress related.....I've never had any problems when exercising
Thank you. My sister had triple bypass surgery 4 months ago and she gets breathless but not every day. It is concerning because she thinks she should be much better by now. The breathless episode just last a few minutes and she will be seeing her cardiologist next month to ask him about it. Thank you again.
Hi Cheryl, how's your sister doing? Did she geta diagnosis or a remedy? My Dad had a triple heart bypass nearly 2 years ago and gets exhausted on minimal exertion. He's had so many tests but they can't diagnose the problem.
Always cardiac surgery I had a valve replacement and very dizzy and breathless and also now migraine with aura
@@clarkbrechin7970 most cardiologists don’t care and don’t adress the problem they ignore and are too lazy to figure it out because they don’t update their learning by reading new studies
Just add coenzyme q10 (100mg) and magnesium glycinate (400mg) to your supplements list
I was looking online for why one can be breathless is atelactasis following anesthesia so look into that. Several forms but obstructive atelactasis would result from having tube down trachea.
Thank you for your advice it is much appreciated. 👏👏
Wonderful. Doctor thank you for your excellent lectures you are very generous with your knowledge , from western Canada.
I was short of breath due to low iron. My Hemoglobin was 'fine', but my Ferritin was ZERO. This was all due to very heavy periods ('flooding').
That's been me since last week!
Me too
Yes, me too and I was at 11 ferritan
My hb 10 but ferritin 6...bt doctors dont admit it to be possible at 10 haemoglobin..my problem not going..how much it took for you to recover nd become normal
This eased my anxiety a bit hearing that if it was a heart problem it would get worse with exercise. I think I have bad anxiety attacks and the last 3 days I’ve been having trouble breathing when I’m not laying down. Exercise and Yoga help (or at the very least, temporarily reduce breathlessness).
Breath in through the nose by pushing the stomach out for 4 sec, breath out through almost closed mouth for 8 sec. Repeat at least 5 times.
@@romie7054 believe me I'm having this problem for 5 days and same thing happened with me as you commented 🙏..and I know you googled it too..
@@romie7054 & how are you now?❤️
Very informative, and Helpful, and Appreciated! THANK YOU, Dr. Gupta!!!
Thank you for this video.
Thanks doctor. I like your vids more than any others online. You make it easy for me to understand my heart 💗 .I am.over weight but I'm solid thick build kind of guy. Even on drugs years ago and strung out not eat well at all I was 180 pounds at my worst. I'm now 250 pounds and I have not weight lifting for 2 years since refuse covid vaccines I have gained fat and no gym . I'm out of breath walking even I noticed yesterday. No chest pains lately but I had weird flutters and feeling sensation in heart recently. I'm going for a heart EKG for my Suboxone treatment and I do have left ventricular hypertrophy as well. I'm afraid I'm have something seriously wrong in my heart . Come to think of it I'm catch my breath alot lately even at rest , something is wrong. Thank you and I'm Go for EKG soon. I'm on several medications for high blood pressure and I'm taking aspirin daily or every second day. These heart issues scare me .
Are u taking any beta blockers like bisoprolol
The reason why I ask I was taking bisoprolol and it was causing breathlessness. When I stopped taking it my breathing improved. My cardiologist mentioned this can happen in a small percentage of people. I’m not saying to stop taking your medicine but it’s worth looking into and asking your doctor.
@@mirocabraja5128 yes I was. Wise to stop taking those as well. Terrible stuff. Doctors keep us on drugs that only weaken us long term and cause future health problems. It's an evil viciious systym of big pharma scientists make new drugs to keep us on something. Evil evil government as well. I'm done with all medications for close to 6 months now and im healthier than ever before and lowest bodyfat % and most muscle mass now. The system had me for years. Never again. Thanks for the tips and comments .
I am a man aged 70 who suffers with breathlessness caused by angina which was only diagnosed about 10 years ago even though it started to be a problem 30 years ago....I started to struggle on stairs and even collapsed once or twice,but never had any chest pain until 10 years ago when I began to experience chest pressure on walking uphill which became a problem.But if I stopped for just a few seconds the pressure subsided.It was a strange sensation but I literally could not take another step, I felt like something inside was about to burst open!Anyway I had the angiogram ,got the angina diagnosis...I have more than one narrowed artery,and I was given the Nitromin spray which I never got on with....It did not prevent the breathlessness,in fact it made it worse ...I literally had to wait for the stuff to wear off before I could take a single step.Believe it or not I still have not used up the first spray I was given 10 years ago!But lately my symptoms have worsened and I often feel like I am about to pass out even walking up a slight incline and I start staggering like a drunken man,It's made me reluctant to go out but I am alone and need to get to the shops on foot.
I am.50 and feel.like.i am.in your shoes. Or a few steps. Back.. my issues of light breathlessness started 38. And just something now right but every so often it would b worse with high heart rate and blood pressure. No I experience what u are saying with stairs 100
Get it checked out m8
Very useful info and you have a pleasant way of explaining the facts.
Thank you that was very helpful.
Thanks again Dr Guptor. Yes I presented to my GP with breathlessness and medicated last July. No remission so my GP naturally passed me to a certain Respiratory Consultant who diagnosed Dysfunctional Breathing which was passed back to my GP with no BNP taken by the consultant. More exercise/treadmill and gym work needed apparently. One week later extremely acute breathlessness, back to hospital and the receiving doctor echoed and found heart failure within 30 minutes.
Brian Leary Thank God your alive.
good knowledge for heart fuction
So pleased to hear your explanation - thx you
Thank you doctor taking the time to explain these health issues i.e heart breathing problems I have been having. God Bless
thank yoU!
Thank you youre so sweet! If you have a chance, do you have any advice for this situation? My Dr is stumped :/.... I have breathlessness but perfectly fine O2 levels, dizzines/weakness/being off balance with low blood pressure that seems to fluctuate (will be getting a new cuff to double check). I habe asthma and allergies and anxiety but my symptoms feel different than anything I feel from any of those and are mostly while at rest. Upon excercising more they improve until Im done and then are typically worse. Ive always felt this was related to blood sugar, but again numbers are completely normal o.o... No pressure to answer if youre busy or arent sure... Again just thank you for the video and stay well ❤
My husband had Long QT syndrome that went undiagnosed until his autopsy. He also had asthma so in hindsight I often wonder how many instances of breathlessness were heart related rather than asthma.
Dr Gupta ...keep up your good work ...way to go...God bless 🙏
Thank you Dr. Gupta for your informative video's you have made a big difference to my life in understanding these problems more comprehensively. Take care.
I have chest pain, but it’s very brief and random. Normally when I get short of breath, it’s after I eat if I sit down. Could I just have a case of acid reflux?
I can relate to you all. I am short of breath and it all started 9 months ago. Seen a pulmologist, cardiolist, and some many trips to the PC. Lungs are fine, they did all kinds of test my lungs check out good. I do have AFIB but only occasionally after much study and research I don't think its my heart causing it but it could be.
The labored breathing is such a mystery I can't figure it out. I am fit I walk miles every day and not out of breath. I had a stress test done (2 hours) on the treadmill everything was near perfect.
Even now as I type when I take a deep breath every 2 or 3 breaths dont' seem to fill the lungs but I can breathe. It is so strange to try to find the cause.
Could be plain ole anxiety. I lost my wife 5 years ago and my son 3 years ago lots of stress and the pros say stress is aculmulative it never leaves you you just manage it throughout your lifetime.
I deep breathe this sometimes helps. Its like something in either my gut or diaphram is causing it. Still looking for answers. The docs don't know what it is, they just tell me what it IS NOT..more or less.
My minerals I take daily I have a great diet I walk I do all the things you are supposed to do. I many never find out but I will not stop trying.
Same thing happens to me. Everything goes well i work i play for hours but still i feel short of breathe sometimes and taking deep breath sometimes it hepls! Seen a pulmonologist he says everything is f9 and i don't know what triggers this prob!
@@devendra4233 Ya it is a crazy thing All my life I have been good. It is either a mineral dificicency, stress, physical issue (which I am trying t rule out) or something else.
I made a list and wrote down the following. Good or bad marriage, unforgiving someone, bad relationship somewhere, Physical trama, in trouble with the gov or something, or some other issue..all of them checked out. The only thing that seems to keep coming back to me is one thing STRESS. That's where I am thinking is causing this breathlessness especially losing 2 of my loved ones which was real hard on me.
But even then still not sure. I didn't have stress breathing issue before they died, that I know.
Well I will continue to update the findings.
Sorry for your loss, recently loss loved ones this is probably the cause. I had to change the my Philosophy on death after my experience. That helped.
Maybe allergies
I have the same problems and my heart and lungs have been ruled out. I was told it could be a hiatal hernia, which does have to do with the diaphram so you might want to have that tested.
great video! Many thanks.
Dear Dr. Gupta. I was having a very bad time before seeing the thumbnail with your beautiful name. Thank you my friend. You are number 1
You're a wonderful human being, thank you very much on behalf of me and a bunch of other strangers on the internet ❤😊
Also a question, should one get their calcium levels checked if they have high blood pressure and will vitamins D3 and K2 help the body to absorb calcium therefore plaques, lessening the chance of a heart attack/clot ?
I discovered cucumber was causing me breathlessness. Took me over a year to figure it out!😂 (It was only when I was on holiday and didn't have salad with my meals).
Also dairy, peppers, potatoes, aubergines...deadly nightshade family were also causing it. It go so bad (before I realised the cause) and the docs were just prescribing me betablockers (I didn't take them). I do suffer from anxiety, but I was getting panic attacks daily and usually after eating.
Standing up and having a little walk (even in the house) can help, and to avoid foods that you think might be causing problems. Nowadays I rarely have panic attacks thankfully!
So food allergies can cause anxiety?
What happen when u had panic attack
Thank you Dr. Gupta for sharing. All of your videos that I have listened to have been so helpful. May GOD richly Bless you for you kindness in sharing your knowledge with others. I am certain with just sharing your knowledge you have saved many lives. You have given me a lot of peace and understanding as to my newly diagnosed condition. I am not one to go the conventional route and am determined to conquer this holistically and with faith in YAHUSHUAH and by HIS WORD that by HIS stripes, we are healed. Nutrition and rest heals. Drugs kill.
Thank you, Dr. Gupta.
Hey Sunjay, I've started getting these so called ectopic beats for a few months, they've gone away for two months and started again with other symptoms like dizziness, should I consider increasing my potassium and magnesium intake? I got tested a few months ago and I have a structurally normal heart, blood pressure is fine and they suggested the 24 hour test however said its not completely necessary so I didn't go ahead with that.
don't you mean DR SUNJAY ???
How are you ?
