Barry McDonagh: Why do people who suffer from anxiety complain a lot about palpitations and skip heartbeats?
Sanjay Gupta: So this is interesting, palpitations basically, I'll just explain what palpitations are because a lot of people ask me about that. Palpitations are a symptom, so all palpitations mean is that you become aware that your heart is doing something it shouldn't.
That could be that your heart is pounding, it could be your heart is racing, it could be that your heart is skipping beats, it could be that your heart is beating irregularly, all those would be palpitation. And once you have a patient with palpitation you then have to work out which of those things it is, which will then give you a heart ...
Now, why do they go? For lots of reasons. People who have anxiety tend to be a lot more sensitized to their heart, so they're in a hyper aroused state. And fear will always release more adrenaline and stress hormones and that will automatically cause the heart to beat faster. So if you, for example, a scenario is, we're sitting here and the phone rings.
We wouldn't think anything of it. Imagine, however, if you're alone in the middle of the night and you've been told that there's a murderer going around who rings people on their phones before coming and attacking them.
Barry McDonagh: That'll do it.
Sanjay Gupta: But the ring is the same, nothing has changed between the actual tone of the phone, but the reaction it causes in you is completely different. And so this is because the adrenaline has got ... A, we're hyper aroused anyway, B, you have the stimulus where you get this adrenaline surge, which will then cause our heart to beat and three is that when we are scared, we tend to hyperventilate. When we're hyperventilating what that can do is that can ... we have important mineral lines called calcium and magnesium in our body and when we hyperventilate we push calcium and magnesium into our blood cells and we get deficient in calcium and magnesium outside in the blood.
And this is why a lot of people complain of tingling, because they become deficient in calcium, transiently. When you become deficient in magnesium, you start getting more extra beats developing. And there's a very interesting study that I'd like to share with you, this was done I think in 1978 by Professor Lown. And what he did was he took a bunch of people who had anxiety and he strapped them to a monitor. 19 people. And then he did three experiments on them.
The first was that he asked them some arithmetic questions and every time they got it wrong, he would tell them off, making them more anxious. The second thing he did was he took boards where he had the name of a color written in a different color. So he had blue written in a red color and he asked them what the color was and every time people ... because people had to think, it wasn't natural, they got more anxious about that. And then finally he started asking them about, he started doing these interviews with them about their relationships, their childhood, all that kind of thing, getting these people more and more anxious.
And interestingly, as people got more anxious, on the monitor you saw more skipped beats. So I think there is no doubt that you will get more of a heart rate response and you are more aroused, but there is also a physical thing that happens when you get more anxious. You do see extra beats or skipped beats on the monitor.
Barry McDonagh: I think people will be really glad to hear that because it's such a common thing that when your exhaustion as well, when you're exhausted or highly anxious, you get that extra thud, thud, or the ectopic beats, all of that.
Sanjay Gupta: Absolutely, now here's another really interesting study that I wanted to share with you. There's a place in America where if you have an emergency in the hospital, an alarm goes off and everyone gets woken up.

Awful Awful condition. Beautiful truth is once you master your thinking you'll find the old you is still there and you'll emerge stronger than ever. Keep the faith, Anxiety is a living hell when you're in the thick of it but it's really literally just a harmless state of mind. Much love to you all.
Wish I could think like this. I'm scared
frank leonard thank you, this is helpful
Commit to following through on this. End the cycle.
These 2 fellas should publish a book on Heart vs Anxiety.
One is a fantastic Cardiologist and the other an Anxiety guru
I know my anxiety scares the hell out of me sometimes. I have thought more than once I was gonna die. Been so close to passing out. And hady heart rate shoot up to over 150 bpm
I am 24 now but in my 17 i am running playing football for 3 to 4 hours continuosly and not thinking or worrying about my heart beat but now doing leg press and my heart beats lab dab lab dab, dam 😂 honestly say at that time i am feeling anxiety .. one thing is sure we thinking so much about heart , death etc.. that's why it happens ..
It’a those big THUMP palpitations that scare the crap outta me. Thankfully they never last long.
Yes!!! They scare me so much for real.
@@HUMBLE-SOUL-TJ yes its horrible
I have to stop checking. My anxiety is like a traveling circus.
Yes! This is me! Also, I quit wearing my Fitbit and I’m much happier and less anxious.
Just curious.. Is it because you checked your heart rate
@Jay Tross every security measure, creates more anxiety. What people like me, needs is more insecurity. it is the only way to get rid of panic attacks.
That'll do the trick!
This guy is freaking treasure !!!
I get palpatations at night really pounding . I also feel heartbeat in back of neck
Thank you Dr. Gupta and Barry..fir addressing this isuue...was much needed...i bought your book Dare last year. I can say..i freed of anxious thoughts. It helped me the most...
Does anyone hear their heartbeat very clearly after swallowing food?
I get heart palpitations with fluttery feeling for any loud noise and subconscious thoughts which occurs suddenly
As we grow older unfortunately we become too much aware of our health like that's a good thing but also a bag thing even with the smallest of things we think what if this a symptom of this. Specially after covid i think about everything that's happening in body and make a big picture out of it😩 never before that thought about my health soo much before covid hit the world 😩
I Always have palpitations if i start to think abaut my Hart or if i read something abaut it
How do yours feel
@@gaga3740 it feels like skipped beats what about you?
Thanks Barry, I hope my anxiety gets betters!
A handsome looking gifted Doctor . God bless you.
Sanjay looks like he's only 25. He looks so healthy.
He's just gorgeous! 💕
Dr Gupta is a living legend...
I must confess that the services that Dr Gupta is doing for us is incredibly helpful.
Someone in the comment section of a video bitched Dr Gupta to be a fake doctor, I wish I could talk to him and tell him that this dr is a Massiha
what if youur skip beats show up out of nowhere even when I'm well rested? I had one of worse panic attacks after that event.
THANK YOU SANJAY✌for your practice and humanity...god bless
I absolutely love this guy!
Iv never had a problem with axiety til I drank energy drinks every days a lot I’m 15 and now I can’t even go to the gym or drinks soda or anything because I get heart palpitations
Wow. I needed this. Now I understand why I have them. Anxiety
I hate it, if I stand up I feel so dizzy and my heart skips a beat. Sometimes it even hurts like I've been punched in the chest.
I've had my heart checked and bloodwork done, I know it's just anxiety, but it feels so real. It feels like I can't trust my own body at all, and if an emergency ever did happen, I'd just write it off as anxiety and well, that'd be it.
Bro I understand you I am awful too , heart doctors say I am okey but I can’t sleep cause my heart pounds so fast and when I have sex so many skipped beats I can’t breathe I hope I get better one day cause I am exhausted
I get the same, dizziness and heart palpitations 🙂
@@kinezos10anonnymous I believe we will get better, this Heart palpitations is so scary
Same here
@@ladwinia what do yours feel like?
What about nausea on someone's having anxiety/panic attack
Is it recomended to drink calcium and magensium?
I get anxiety when a teacher asks a question in class the answer to which i always know. I wouldn't dare raise my hand even if i knew all thr answers becuase i get super choked up, sweaty, my cheeks get red & warm, and my just heart races!!
Same!
I used to go to ireland to visit friends at motor racing event ...i suddenly realised that over the WHOLE weekend brcause my mind wasfull of nice things ...not a bump or anxiety all weekend and for four further days ...makes the point .....i cling to that evidence when my anxiety palps return
I get it at times. I have a heart murmur. It feels like my heart is racing but i feel completely calm.
Thank you for this one. Explained in layman terms.
Great video the last part that be me I be fine the whole day no worries or nothing then the next day I get them irregularly beats the delay effect it sucks
What about palpitations that happen when I am asleep? They wake me up and then I have anxiety. Also is there a medicine that works to reduce the anxiety? I’m wondering how to stop the anxiety even if I know my heart is healthy.
Does Dr Gupta say it’s normal to get a tingling sensation with a palpitation? And also I believe they come due to subconscious thoughts. That’s why they seem to occur out of the blue when you’re not feeling anxious or having anxious thoughts. As he said, there is a delayed response. This is me!
Patty Boucetta Yes! I felt tingling, like electricity running through my body! Also felt it clearly on the tip of my fingers.
Totally agree with delayed response. I can be super stressed out and once I calm down shortly after or hours later the PVCs come
Yeah that’s all normal you may also get muscle spasms.. it’s all kinda symptoms
Thanks for this question iv been dealing with this for nearly 2 years now had blood tests and ecg’s everything comes back normal. It all started when I felt like my breathing wasn’t satisfying my lungs like I was at high altitude which scared the fuck out of me Iv also been getting tingling sensations especially in my left foot sometimes dizziness and palpitations for almost a year now an I feel like I’m in a living nightmare. Iv convinced myself that Iv probably got a pinched nerve to the left of my spine Iv tried physio and went to a chiropractor but no luck. the mad thing is that I get these heart flutters/ palpitations when I’m not even feeling anxious which has been making me think there’s definitely something wrong I think that I’m about to have a massive heart attack. I was literally going to see my GP this week to demand to see a neurologist as I know there experts when it comes to trapped nerves ect. I still can’t believe that anxiety can actually cause REAL physical symptoms fuck me your brain really does control everything lol I was prescribed 50mg centreline a few days after this all started took them for a few days and stopped because my breath’s still wasn’t satisfying me. but after watching this video I’m definitely gonna start taking em again but this time give it a good month. I’m so happy to have came across this video 💯 I guess we don’t really know what’s going on in our minds subconsciously WOW
it’s the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me for sure.
I wish everyone going through this the best of health 👍
Hiii
Sir, I am suffering from anxiety for 13 years. In this I am suffering from skip heart beat. I have got ECG done 13 times and also got Echo done 6 months ago and also got TMT test done 3 years ago. Sir, what should I do to cure this? Please tell me some tips and I want to ask one more question. Does skip heart beat also occur due to gastritis?
Does the Dr,have a place like this on Facebook and I feel all your heart stuff
Thank you for the information I have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for 9 hell years
Does panic attack different from anxiety?
sam anderson panic attacks last 10 to 20 minutes anxiety attacks can last for hours
Dinna D take medicine
Can they last seconds?
@@Rob-dh3rp Yes absolutely, I get short burst panic attacks when I get ectopics, but as soon as I realize that its just a harmless ectopic, within 10 seconds I feel the panic fade.
I have a symptom where any sudden movements I make or even when i am working out lightly in the gym my heart will pound excessively and over react to the stimulus at hand. I've been to several cardiologist and they've all said Im fine, but this symptom causes me a ton of fear. Can you give me some insight on this anyone or has anybody dealt with this symptom?
I get the same thing. I have also seen a cardiologist and had every test under the sun and they can't find anything wrong. My heart, with just a small amount of excerise will go upto 180 pretty quickly.... once I stop it comes down just as quick. Apparently this is fine.
@@angelakendall3155 it happens to me as well but I when I stay calm during exercising it doesn't happen its very weird
Same!!
You're relating exercise with your symptoms. Basically you're obsessing over it during exercise which can cause a fear of working out. You pretty much conditioned your brain to.be afraid of exercise. I'm the same way. You know what I do? I run on the treadmill for 15 minute's straight. Once I'm done I realize I'm fine since my heart is still kicking. If you were cleared multiple times by a doctor.. trust them and try getting uncomfortable by facing that fear by doing a good amount of cardio
I'm suffering from 3 years same
This was so helpful for me. I have panic disorder and I'm going through an incredibly stressful life period atm. Besides that I also have health anxiety (I am in therapy for all these things). I keep feel my heart racing and beating very hard in my chest. Sometimes I wake up at night and I can loudly hear my heart beating in my ears and feel it in my neck. It's terrifying and sends me into a panic attack every time. This video made me understand what's going on a lot more. Thank you so much
My heart was fine till I took used my inhaler now as soon as I get up it starts racing I never had this problem before. Pluse I'm using crunches and they make my chest hurt. I been on them for month
Inhalers often cause a racing heartbeat, its a pretty normal side effect. Used to happen to me too when I had to use mine
Hi Doctor, I start feeling my heart rate two years back but once in while but now it’s everyday. I use my Apple Watch with in seconds my Heart rate change from 60 to 120. Do I need to worry about that. I had my to different kind of ecg done but report was fine. Please help me because my family doctor saying it’s anxiety.
Same here, it's Anxiety
Got rid of my Apple Watch
As long it’s not immediate and it’s sinus tachycardia it’s completly normal when feeling stressed. It’r really hard to put the finger on these occasions as an individual experiencing it, mostly because you might not remember what came first, anxiety or the fast heart beat. I know it’s hard to not worry so i’m not gonna say anything else than good luck and that I wish u the best!
You should go to a cardiologist. Take and echocardiogram. Stress test and wear a holter monitor to record what’s going on at home. If everything is normal it may calm down your anxiety and know for sure your ok.
Please someone just listen to me. Barry mcdonagh Dr Sanjay Gupta. I have seen Dr Gupta at his work York hospital. I get skipped beats Nd I'm almost certain something as Been missed.. I'm 36 years old slim an active I don't exercise as in jogging but I'm constantly active I like been active. Why do i just keep getting put down to anxiety when I'm not that anxous anymore I'm scared not anxious.. please please someone help me
Deano Buzz do yoga
How you doing now
You're scared which releases stress hormones.
Can too much magnesium cause palpitations? X
I believe. I was taking magnesium then stopped because of palpitations. I don’t know if it’s the magnesium that caused it or if it’s my anxiety making me scared of everything.
It’s great analyzed but what the solution for palpitations comes through anxiety, I have been suffering that problem my whole life and I am taking atenolol for fast heart beats. So what the solution for the anxiety in general?
None:( u just live with it
@@mprosa9925 you're so wrong about that. Anxiety is a behavior. You can change behaviors. It takes time but is 100%possible.
@@zachmaas7618 it is not. If so tell how 🤔
With every thought of work i feel my heart skip a beat or an amplified heart beat
Same
Can you describe what the skipped heartbeats feel like?
@@mannysmith7297 almost like I lost my breath for a second
Will palpitations cause your blood pressure machine to say irregular heartbeat?
Yes
Yes
aah okay
So are palpations bad?
No, they are harmless, unless of course your body starts moving or something hurts. This is all a state of mind. Our chemical reactions are heavy and this is why we experience them. Im with you here trust me, its been happening for about a year or 2 and ive been terrified its a heart condition.
