Ectopic heart beats: Getting rid of them for good

  • As you know i have done a tonne of videos on the subject of ectopic heart beats and as a consequence have spoken to several thousand people who have ectopic heart beats and listened to their individual stories and by far the one common thing i have found is that virtually everyone who complains of ectopics will also admit to having some degree of health related anxiety i.e they carry with them this fear that something bad will happen to them and this is something that they have usually carried with them even before the time they suffered their first ever ectopic beat….
    When i speak to people they will often say ‘i was lying in bed and suddenly i started noticing this fluttering or skipped beats’ and this caused me great worry and i didn’t know what to do and thought my heart was going to stop or that i was going to have a heart attack and i often ask these people what made you feel so uncomfortable - was it the sensation of the ectopic beats or was it the fear of not knowing what may happen as a consequence and most people after giving it some thought came back to me and said it was the fear rather than the ectopic beats. If you think about it carefully, yes the ectopic beats can be a little uncomfortable but we withstand so many more uncomfortable things on a daily basis anyway and never give it any thought…however the fear that they may mean something more sinister makes us a lot more uncomfortable…it makes our heart go fast, it makes our stomach feel like it is all knotted up, it makes us restless and warm and this can be a self propagating cycle because fear causes adrenaline and cortisol release, fear causes us to hyperventilate and fear is hugely inflammatory which in turn causes more ectopics to happen and then patients become even more fearful and they start curtailing the things they do, they avoid going to the gym, they become more sedentary and paranoid and this in turn causes more ectopics and suddenly the poor patient becomes embroiled in a horrible vicious cycle which is so difficult to break away from.
    So today i wanted to tackle this issue …the issue of FEAR because i truly believe that if you can tackle the FEAR the ectopics will disappear by themselves…in fact i also believe that many stomach issues such as irritable bowel syndrome can also be a physical manifestation of FEAR and if you are able to tackle the FEAR you will find that many stomach issues will disappear as well.
    I hate to say this but there is really a huge amount of scaremongering and generation of fear that goes in the world because FEAR is extremely profitable… the media plays and profits from your fear, the drug companies profit from your fear, even healthcare professionals profit from your fear…
    Everyday we read a fearful story about how someone just like you dropped down dead all of a sudden…and we become fearful…but actually what we forget is that there are millions of other people just like you who are not dropping down dead..
    Everyday i get people contact me and say oh my cholesterol is 6 and i am terrified… and i say to them its a just number…why are you so terrified? and they say because if your cholesterol is high you can have a heart attack and i say to them actually no..just because your number is high doesn’t mean you are going to have a heart attack at all! People with low cholesterols also have heart attacks all the time… All it means is that if you study a million people with a higher cholesterol maybe a few more may have heart attacks in several years down the line compared to people with low cholesterols but that doesn’t mean that will be you…
    The way i look at it..life has only 2 dimensions…1) Length and 2) Quality
    Having spent the best part of my life in medicine i can confidently say that when your time comes it comes… no matter who you are, where you are and what tests and treatments you have had…Noone can tell you how long you are going to live and noone can guarantee that they can make you live longer… jst because i am here talking to you now does not make me immune to being hit by a car when i go out tonight…. so length of life is something we can’t alter and therefore we dont need to worry about…if its gonna happen..its gonna happen..

    I’ve decided to think of my ectopic beats as my heart laughing, and reminding me to relax and find something amusing to contemplate. I believe that taking things too seriously can shorten your life. When I shift my perspective, my bp goes down, the extra irregular beats go away and I breathe easier.

      Dear Dr. York, I also have conversations with my ❤😍😜. Just a couple of months ago I fell for a handsome bunch of grapes and my Vagus Nerve went Bonkers. Within hours my old Ticker had a Sulphite tantrum and I said " STOP-IT" !! Oh wait.. I didn't mean that. L0L.
      I was sitting on tthe lowest shelf of a reduced section in a local store, I'm sure the Security Camera pegged me as a Shop-Lifter. I must have looked like a Snake Charmer at a Bazaar, arms dangling in a squat position, glassy eyed, I was trying to avoid the Local Ambulance Crew. Oh my, Doctor York, you are a Dream-boat.
      I highly respect your Wisdom, and your ability to Care and Share. ❤👍

      This is so true. My Cardiologist never explains anything. He's only interested in the basics of what's going on with me today? Imagine having a Doctor like Sanjay, one you can talk to and ask anything related to the heart. Time is money for him, yet he still does it. I wish he would put them in a book to live on after he's gone.

    I too had ectopics for several months. I went to my doctor and was sent for an echo cardiogram. That came back as normal. Im now pleased to say they are completely gone! I watched this video many times. I also scanned through nearly all the comments here, looking for just 1 positive comment where a fellow sufferer also resolved theirs. So I then really started to believe that it was possible to resolve them. I did lots of meditation every day and slowed my life down in general as I was constantly on the go. I also focused on my sleep hygiene, to get really good, quality, restful sleep. And voilá, they gradually completely vanished :) wishing everyone else a speedy resolution also!

      Hello sir i am 21 year young boy
      And my heart beat is so much faster in the morning,when i wake up and it remain faster for like upto 1 hour, rest of the day i feel normal.
      I think their are 2 reason that make my heart beat fast.. .
      1). I have a bad habbit of masterbation from like 7 to 8 year (and i have excessively done Masterbation for like 1.5 years currently) which make me feel lazy for 2/3 days after i masterbate.
      2). And the second reason could be i have a bad routin of sleep and eating , like i start sleeping around 3 a.m(i always go to bad by 1:30 a.m. but can't sleep till 3a.m ) which i think coz of INSOMNIAC and wake up at 10 a.m and then eat milk at 11 a.m and have lauch at 2p.m. and then dinner at 8 p.m
      ( Will i be good or cure this problem or will i have to suffer this for my whole life☹️☹️)
      I m not a doctor ,so please help me by telling the reason which leads me too faster heartbeats when i wake up.

Have your doctor check you out completely and if he/she says you're fine, then you're fine. Relax and stop listening to your body so much! I find that getting enough sleep and regular exercise help a lot, and if you train yourself enough, it will eventually go away. When our numbers are up, it's up regardless of what we do or how we try to avoid it. Good luck!

    This is really true. Once I conquered my fear of ectopics by weight lifting and cardio training, I stopped focusing on my heartbeat and therefore stopped experiencing the ectopics. If you're anxious, you become more self-aware and everything seems magnified. This is evident from a biological perspective because it improves your chances of survival. An extremely anxious mind, however, is so conscious of this process that depersonalisation takes place. You feel as if you're a third party observing what's happening to you. You become out of touch with yourself and irrational fear engulfs you. The only way to reverse this, in my opinion, is to exercise, because exercise normalizes these sensations again and makes you realize that nothing bad will happen. It not only makes you stronger, it makes you FEEL stronger. And confidence is key in conquering your fear

      I do the same and i never think about them until it just hits me. Its debilitating and feels worse if I continue to do weights, boxing and running. Im in my early 30s and rarely I am stressed, anxious and eat a balanced diet. I cleaned up my diet, kept a food dairy to see what possible triggers of my beats.. then i question myself why on earth are these happening now because in my 20s i never had these and partied like an animal and adventurous like a hobbit. Not sure if its age related but all my symptoms were all cleared after stress echo and holter study. Doctors say I have pvcs but benign. Heart structure is good. I tell him i have pvcs and skipped beats a minimum of 14 x per day. Worse when i eat pizza it or chocolate it doubles or triples. I wish was the others who dont or barely feel them. I feel them as if it hits me like a train and poof! temp rapid heart beat and back to normal and repeat. I just dont understand when doctors say its benign. It pisses me off and all i want to do is leave from that point and get a second opinion. They tell us to stay away from stimulants. I wonder if you do survey at your local starbucks of how many people have palpitations after drinking coffee.. i wonder how many would say "never"

    This is one of the best videos I have watched in my life (and I have watched lots, lots). It is not only good in the medical way (which it is a lot to say, since nowadays doctors care more about making money than saving lives) but in the human way. It is so refreshing listening a doctor critizing diferent levels of our society like the pharmaceutical industry in such a polite manner. It is so sad that humanity became so greedy, to the point if it makes them rich they rather have sick populations than healthy and happy ones. We are making each other unhappy/unhealthy. I am so glad I had the oportunity to watch this video, no only for my physical but for my mental and emotional health. Thank you so much. This has giving me hope in humanity and in the medicine.

      I think FEAR is the #1 enemy; not the ectopics. Ectopics won't kill us; but our fear might. The day we internalize and accept ectopics while minimizing the associated fear; it will be less and less disconcerting and eventually, like Dr. Gupta said, shall vanish away. The anxiety provoked by EBs are far more alarming than EBs itself. It is because we as an anxious person are self-trained to scan our heart rate and rhythms. So any change to it shall automatically trigger the anxiety. There are people who are struggling and living a productive life despite being afflicted by sinister menaces like cancer, auto-immune diseases (Muscular dystrophies, ALS, Cystic Fibrosis and others with poor prognosis) also other chronic pains i.e. Migraine, trigeminal neuralgia etc- the list is as long as my arm.
      Let's serve selflessly if we can; and make ourself busy in something meaningful; deep within this shall relax and self soothe us and in turn; help us curb the anxiety associated with EBs.

      @@sovereignsoulutions6612 I used to be anxious about them so that triggered them more. Meaning I would some time wonder when they would show up and spend time anticipating them. That's when they happened. I then I changed my paradigm and started to follow this line which I read from a Warrior tenet/principle "A brave man dies once, a coward dies 1000 times". This means that the brave man will face his death once when it comes. The coward will spend his days thinking about death. I said to myself I'm a warrior, An Alpha male. I'm not a beta. So If I die I die. I don't care. I'm just going to live my life and not care about my heart. Plus also had the strong believe that I was in great health. This was further backed by medicals/blood tests. As I started to follow this philosophy the Ectopics disappeared. It's in your head unless they come with exercise then it's to do with your heart. Lastly, eat right/clean, stop bullshit like alcohol, processed foods and workout regularly and go for an early morning walk. Do mindful meditation, lower stress and try scented candles.

There is a definitive undeniable link between anxiety and associated OCD in specific regard to GI issues and “allergy” manifestations.

Once in a while I may feel a subtle ectopic beat when I'm super stressed or having an anxiety attack, but they're *so much* more controlled now.

Like a car running with a couple spark plug wires off. Then the possibility of a blood clot or stroke on top of the terrible feeling and weakness from Afib makes these pvc’s cause much more anxiety which may very well bring on an episode of Afib. Any answers to that? Have taken 25 mg of Atenolol which I hate for 25 years but my system seems to”addicted” to the drug keeping my heart rate 70-80 instead of 90-100 without it.

      ​@Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat First, go see a your Doctor. Second try finding the source of it: stress, alcohol, caffeine, etc. then reduce it. This channel helped me a lot understanding the problem because in my country, doctors are overwhelmed and dont bother taking time to explain. I got to change cardiologist because the first one didnt care much and only cared prescribing me pills which were making it worst (Betablockers etc). Try all natural solutions before pills. The thing is: unless you have an underlying medical condition, there is not much a doctor can do for ectopic beats. So eliminate the underlying condition. With the second cardiologist I saw we ran all test there are possible. In my case there is nothing alarming with my heart per his words. I dont need to take medication. Just that helped my case because I knew the heart was OK. For my case since I tend to havel low heartbeats while resting (low 40's/min) I am very susceptible to an ectopic beat in between. I lowered considerably my consumption of alchol and caffeine. When I have a crisis (that is several ectopic beats per minute for a prolonged period like an hour), I go take a jog or walk or I train. I found out that when my heartbeats are faster I dont have as much ectopic beats. It helps with the stress and removing the focus on it. The fear of having ectopic beats actually triggers them and it spirals down. At night while sleeping is when I have most of them. In my case after a 3 week vacation I took in 2019 (that was before COVID), my ectopic beats kind of reduced considerably. So really, it's a thing. Try getting your head elsewhere. I still have some but at much lower frequency. When I noticed my lifestyle was in control of them, it started to go better. It spiralled-up too. Now I can go for several month with almost no percetible ectopic beats. That is from someone who had 6000 to 8000 per day.

    I could not be more grateful for stumbling across this. I have suffered ectopic heartbeats for about 3 years now and they have constantly worried me. I have had a complete check up of my heart with a cardiologist here in Sydney, and quoting his words, I have a "beautiful heart". I mentioned my skipped heartbeats which happen consistently..mostly at night when I'm lying down..and he dismissed them as something not to worry about. Watching your video, I know realise they started when I had to move my mother with Dementia and my father into a nursing home. It was the most stressful time I have experienced in my life, and their well being has consumed me ever since. I'm sure it's this constant stress and the fear of them getting worse which has consumed me and caused my ectopics. Just listening to your video reassures me that I'm not going to drop dead, and I need to take care of myself and try and lift the cloud of fear that has followed me for the past couple of years.

      Hello sir i am 21 year young boy
      And my heart beat is so much faster in the morning,when i wake up and it remain faster for like upto 1 hour, rest of the day i feel normal.
      I think their are 2 reason that make my heart beat fast.. .
      1). I have a bad habbit of masterbation from like 7 to 8 year (and i have excessively done Masterbation for like 1.5 years currently) which make me feel lazy for 2/3 days after i masterbate.
      2). And the second reason could be i have a bad routin of sleep and eating , like i start sleeping around 3 a.m(i always go to bad by 1:30 a.m. but can't sleep till 3a.m ) which i think coz of INSOMNIAC and wake up at 10 a.m and then eat milk at 11 a.m and have lauch at 2p.m. and then dinner at 8 p.m
      ( Will i be good or cure this problem or will i have to suffer this for my whole life☹️☹️)
      I m not a doctor ,so please help me by telling the reason which leads me too faster heartbeats when i wake up.
      Thank You🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 eagerly waiting for your Reply 😊.

    This is absolutely refreshing. I was considering on going to the hospital just now, I'm in my early 30's and after some research, apparently being dehydrated, having a bit of alcohol and caffeine all within 24 hours is a recipe to develop ectopic heart beats. Mine is an extra beat right now. The fear is legit, my uncle died in his sleep from a heart issue, so of course I'm freaking out all the time. This all makes so much sense! I'm focusing on hydration, no caffeine and no sugar to get my life back on track. I have to make better choices and this video was so incredibly helpful!

    • @trevorjameson3213
      @trevorjameson3213 Před rokem

      Alcohol is about the worst thing you can put in your body for ectopic beats, and it also causes VT (ventricular tachicardia). Just try laying off the sugar, stay hydrated, and eat some type of nuts every single night (for the magnesium). I recently read a very large, long term scientific study about the effects of caffeine and ectopic beats. They concluded that caffeine does NOT increase the number or incidence of ectopic beats. Sort of counter-intuitive, but according to this large study, it's true. I had quit caffeine years ago, but I still got ectopic beats. Now that I've read the results of that study, I'm having coffee and tea again!

    Thanks Sanjay, I had ectopic beats and was so worried about having a heart attack.
    After watching this video and after having them checked by my cardiologist, I decided to confront the fear. I started jogging again and as bad as it sounds I was saying to my self while jogging "I dont give a F@*!K+% if i die on the pavement here" I would rather that than live in fear all my life. I jogged and kept jogging. After about a month they got less frequent to the point they now have gone away.
    Your advice about not having fear is 100% correct. I also believe the fresh air and exercise helped my mental state as well.

I completely stopped my workouts which I regularly doing when I quit smoking. After watching this video, it enlightened me. It is not about me anymore.

    Back in 2014 at 23 years of age I experienced my first heart palpitation or what I can describe as a single thud in my chest. It really scared the shit out of me. My mind was running with thoughts of what you're describing. I saw a cardiologist had a ecg done and was clear of a heart attack. I used a holter monitor to record what I was feeling and the times that I felt the thud they said nothing showed. I also had a echocardiogram and was told that I have a healthy normal heart. But still I was scared. I ended up moving on and dealt with the thuds. Fast forward to 2018 and I am feeling them even more than ever and am now going to see my cardiologist again. And again the thoughts of death and leaving my family flood my mind. I will see him next week and will go through the same test but am very thankful for your videos. I can't say how amazing it is to have a cardiologist have a CZcams channel. Very selfless and it is much appreciate. Thank you for the videos and support.

I’m healthy on paper and had a ekg and sonogram and was placed on a 24 hour heart monitor. The doc gave me a low dose anti-arrhythmic pill and told me not to worry since nothing is stopping my heart from beating. He even told me that he has been seeing people around my age with the same symptoms but they don’t know what’s causing it but it’ll disappear.

For example , I will encounter more frequent occurrences when i know i have an important presentation and during the presentation itself then suddenly after i’ve settled it, the palpitations just go away.

    I am very grateful to this doctor for putting this video out here.
    Several years ago I started feeling ectopic heart beats and it freaked me out. In my quest to understand what was going on, I found this video. And sure enough, after following his advice, the ectopic beats have indeed disappeared since then.
    This video popped up in my CZcams feed after years so I am taking the opportunity to express my gratitude to this doctor.
    Thank you for reading this and I hope you get rid of them forever too.
