@York Cardiology Hi sir, i am 33 and chest pain and pain in arm but its gone now. i had skipping beats and heart palpation which is also gone. but sometimes when i wake up from sleep my heart beat gets faster . and sometimes if i eat salt or sugar my heart rate gets faster for 5 minutes and then slow down again. i dont understand why my heart beat gets faster sometimes and normal most of the time. i dont know if its because of stomach or heart problem.
I have fear of having my bp taken, I now have fear of the machine, the noise and while the cuff tightens, I can feel adrenaline running through my body, I have to keep taking it, the lowest I got was 132 over 82 but I was still anxious, I feel I can’t get a Normal reading now I have this fear, it’s not just at the doctors I’m now scared to do it myself.
I have that really badly too. I’m just now calming down abt it. My doctor was trying to double my bp meds and I was telling her I didn’t believe it was that high usually because I swell a lot when it’s truly high and I wasn’t. I was right. When I relaxed and cussed myself out the numbers came down to normal. I still get a higher number the first time so I sit still and wait several minutes for the second reading. You will get a baseline eventually but obsessing abt it drives it way up. In her office my bp was 198/100 at home it was 126/70. Anxiety will drive it crazy high don’t let anyone tell you differently. Still we must watch our stress, diets and drink water and exercise. Hugs♥️
@@julesflores8137 thank you ❤️ I found this site, after I started getting palpitations, and the doctor had made me feel much better, from his videos, I’ve had a 72 hour monitor, and nothing was picked up, even though I had lots of palpitations, but thankyou for the comment xx
@@kapiljbp9129 I think that's a normal effect of the BP- taking process, i.e. blocking blood flow and then letting it go slowly. It happens to me and I have low BP.
Dear I agree with you 100% whatever you said. The only problem is that the doctors don’t agree with these kind of theories and don’t want to act and treat their patients as you said. They tell you to take the medicines as prescribed or change the doctor. Thank you very much for showing us the reality of the modern treatments. I believe in whatever you said and try to apply on me as much possible. A time will come that I might be without a doctor in future.
As one who has had an aortic aneurysm repair, a lad stent an an aortic valve replacement, I have had this b/p 24 hour taken. Am glad you brought up this important info.

This is Exactly my situation Dr ... I have had sleep apnea for a long time now which causes rapid heart rate some times with headaches during the night which wakes me out of my sleep in a panic .. I then have to sit upright and after a while my heart rate will go back to normal .. I certainly believe should be given a 24 hour blood pressure monitoring i am certain that my blood pressure is higher at nights
I was on Ramipril 2.5 mg for a year - I've recently come off it (without telling my doctor) and my BP is now LOWER than it was while I was on the medication! While on the medication, I continually struggled to stay under 140/90 - I've been off it for three weeks and now I'm usually around or under 120/80. This morning it was 113/75 with a 60 pulse. I think my HBP was caused purely by anxiety - I'm now practicing meditation, relaxation and deep breathing and try not to get stressed by taking my BP. That alone would cause so much anxiety and frustration. I would literally see the numbers climb as I worked myself into a state of panic, which is how I ended up having to take medication in the first place! I still monitor my BP twice a day - and replaced my machine with a new one to make sure I'm getting accurate results, but I no longer get stressed about it, knowing that even if it gets a bit high (which now it never does!) I can control it with my breathing. I also follow a whole-food diet (no sugar or ultra-processed food and I've cut out caffeine and alcohol as well) and stay active but I made those changes a year ago when I was first diagnosed. I think the anxiety (or the medication?) cancelled out the benefits of my healthy eating. The medication itself gave me anxiety knowing that I was putting chemicals in my body that could damage my kidneys and cause hyperkalaemia. When I saw my last blood results with borderline high potassium levels that increased sharply since I started taking Ramipril, I panicked. That's why I decided to come off the medication - this was not something I could have discussed with my GP - they just don't have the time and I know they would have wanted me to stay on the medication as it is easier for them. Instead, I started taking some supplements regularly in addition to a healthy diet, lifestyle and stress management (garlic oil, grapeseed extract, moringa powder, L-arginine, as well as vitamins D, B12, B6, B9 and magnesium) - not sure if any of these are contributing, but something must be working after a year of struggling with the medication!
I wore an ambulatory monitor and found that every time it took a reading it startled me, in other words made me jump! Night time was terrible,if I was asleep,when I could actually get to sleep. It just woke me with a jolt. I’m not sure what readings it gave the Doctor to deal with, he just said that the readings were inconclusive.
You should do a video on the newer technology used in some watches which don't rely on the inflatable cuff technology. Some measure throughout the night without you being aware of it. The accuracy isn't quite there yet but you can calibrate with a reliable inflatable cuff or simply add or substract as needed and we have the best of both worlds without that inflatable annoyance and stressor.

After listening to this brilliant video and having monitored my own blood pressure for 7 weeks I believe I am a reverse dipper as my readings are consistently higher at night and in the morning. I cannot get an ambulatory reading "because of covid", I can only with a great deal of difficulty get a phone appointment , always with a different doctor, despite the surgery calling me to make an appointment to see the doctor and the last one asked me what medication I wanted!! Completely frustrating and scarey. Wish I lived in York
Just fantastic. My bp has always been fine and I was running and exercising a lot about 4 years ago. With lockdown and work I'm not active much at all now. I just got results today of a 24 hour monitor and it looks very bad. Spikes at night where I'm higher bp than during the day. I'm 47. I blame my recent lifestyle though and wonder can this be reversed?
Hello Sanya, Thanks for your video’s! And yes, I have subscriped😉. My question for this video is: “What is the hypotheses for the possible nocturnal hypertension?”.
My blood pressure the last time it was checked was 212 / 100 and everyone was freaking out but me. I figure that's what it is supposed to me. They thought I needed to fo to the hospital. I said nope . I'm 72 years old and feel fine. I'm still able to sprint while.many my age can barely walk. I take no drugs and never have. Haven't had a checkup since I was 13 years old
My blood pressure goes up at night. I can tell when it's high because it wakes me up and I can't get back to sleep. Also, if my calcium is high I can't relax into a deep sleep because my shoulders won't relax. When I take a glucocorticoid which is in my asthma puffer, about 10 minutes later I fall into a deep sleep. I dream a lot during the night, rem sleep is not a problem. My calcium is a little bit above normal, but my doctor didn't think it was serious. I take hydrochlorothiazide for blood pressure. And arginine if it is higher than usual.
Im 40 years old, almost vegan and no drugs, alcohol or caffeine. I had an episode of really bad lower back pain and went to the er to get checked. I had a bad case of dehydration and my kidneys got damaged and glomerular filtration went down, but then went up. Since that day my sleeping quality changed and I've started to get high blood pressure during my sleep (I got an ambulatory bllod pressure monitor). I don't know if this pressure is because of a really bad anxiety or my kidneys got damaged to the point my blood pressure system got screwed up. Now I'm getting high blood pressure while i sleep. I'm getting checked to see if i can reverse or get medicated so I can dip my blood pressure while I sleep. I'm scared and anxious, but I got to keep fighting and have to find a way to get this under control and getting back to living a normal life.
May god grant you long life bless your family live long for us doctors I have my ambulatory today and this what the impression was Impression: Reverse(inverted) dipper, rule out sleep apnoea syndrome or insomnia
I had a 24 hour one twice and eventually got told I have stage 1 hypertension I am a none smoker none drinker of normal weight I had high BP since my early twenties which was only found out when I had it done at a tent to promote healthy lifestyle. I don't fit the high blood pressure category.
if you have no possibility of ambulant blood pressure monitoring a good blood pressure measuring device a home is the next best option. You can sample a lot of measurements to give to your doctor for a reliable average.
I've recently notice that my BP goes up when I stand up or if I lower my head to work our read. And returns to norman 30 mins after I sit down and raise my head. I have stenosis in C4-6. I'm wondering if this could be causing the abnormal fluctuation.
💕💕💕 I'm taking 88 MCG. Levothyroxine every morning. On my last visit to the doctor's office, I was asked (when he was headed out the door) if I've ever thought about stopping this medication because my latest test shows my thyroid is normal. Question: Under the circumstances, could this medication be the cause of my heart palpitations at night? 💕💕💕
several thousand/daily (>10-20%) Glad it was useful. Thanks so much for your support. It'd mean a tonne if you'd consider subscribing to the channel:-) -Sanjay
Absolutely brilliant ! I have never heard such an in-depth and honest, yet totally understandable explanation of Blood Pressure in my life. Your approach to medicine is a credit to you and testament to the fact that you are both a true physician and a competent scientist. I cannot thank you enough. I shall subscribe to your channel now.
I’m usually very sceptical of UA-cam videos on health, even some where the creators are , or purport to be, qualified medical practitioners. But this series, from a consultant cardiologist giving us all the benefit of his advice free, with no dietary fad to peddle or product to sell, is worth its weight in gold. This is what the internet is for. Ideally it would on free to view TV, as a series of shorts, perhaps with similar episodes on other aspects of health.
You are a true doctor care about people's health not money. Thanks for taking the time to make this videos to educate people. You are a noble doctor. Really telling the truth. I wish you all the BEST and successful in everything. We need doctors like you. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
I wore an ambulatory bp monitor..I was so stressed by it, my bp was much higher while I was awake...and lower while asleep.. My doctor implied that it was a bad thing to have low bp at night. I refused to go on meds b/c my bp was normal when taken at home (we have a bp machine).
How are you today? I measured 160/80 at the doctor's office while I was there for a different thing (I was pretty stressed by that). At home, over the span of a few days, it slowly came down to about 130/80. They suspect it might be stress related because of this. In a few days I am getting a 24h monitor. They want to measure a full day/night cycle because if it drops at night, it's even more likely just stress. If it doesn't drop there's a different cause that needs treatment. Maybe lifestyle changes or medication.
Thank you. I'm glad I have this information, now. I wish I had it prior to my Dad's passing. I believe his health or lack there of was the result of medical mismanagement. He was a veteran. My Dad deserved much better from his doctors, but they pushed pills. They were licensed drug dealers, in my opinion - not healers.
My Dad had very high pulse level (tachycardia). I found out that his doctor was giving him six doses of Albuterol a day. I told the Nurse practitioner that he had never used Albuterol before and probably needed it once a day, if at all. She said, "I'll check on that." Bless her, she did, and my dad had 5 doses of Albuterol removed. He lived for three more years without weird rythyms until 92.
Fear was my enemy when I was dizzy and the doctor, after just 1 test, said I had high blood pressure and put me on meds. Fear was became my friend when I realized that the meds. made things worse and I took steps to eat healthy and exercise. Now I don't have high blood pressure and I don't take meds. anymore. So the problem isn't fear, but how it is being used. The fear of God is a good think because we have sinned against Him and need to have our sin debt taken care of. The good news is that Jesus took our punishment on the cross paying our sin debt in full. What He requires of us is to repent and put our trust in Him for eternal life and then we can enjoy Him foreverMore. Thank you for this video and helping me understand all the details of blood pressure.
We have been Blessed with Dr. Gupta! His informative knowledge and his love of humankind makes him such a hero of our hearts and beyond! Thank you for each and every video Dr. Gupta!
Doctors help a lot. Like Doctor on this you tube he's heat. If he's my doctor my blood pressure will be normal for sure. Because he's very intelligent and we believe and trusting him I don't get nervous So my blood pressure will be normal. Thank you, sir, for everything
Dr. Gupta you thank us for watching your channel. It’s us the people who are very grateful to you for the knowledge that you are sharing with us in a very understandable manner. Your lectures make it easier to understand what is going on in our bodies, you are an excellent doctor and I thank you very much for sharing on UA-cam. All the best.
aww thank you so much for this kind comment Adheesh. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate it. It would mean a tonne if you'd consider sharing the video with anyone who may benefit and also subscribing to the channel. best wishes Sanjay
It's great you bring this subject up. BP is not a physical constant like gravitational pull. Actually, a new German study determined that higher BP lowers morbidity of older people (European heart journal). Who of the huge world population has actually BP checks? 1% ? Still, many unknowns.
You're truly a godsend, Dr. Gupta. I'm calling everyone who has friends and relatives that could benefit from Dr. Gupta's information, please share this and other videos that Dr. Gupta put out. Not only your relatives have information that can save their lives, but it also helps this doctor gain larger audiences, which he very well deserves.
Thank you for saying this. My mother was on BP medicine for years and she still suffered several strokes despite her BP being controlled by the medication.
My blood pressure is always high when I know I’m going to see a doctor. It’s starts a few days before, while I’m there and I feel fine when I’m at home. I’m stressed because anything I mention he’s ready to prescribe a pill. Never heard him say anything about changing diet, exercise, anything, just pills. So both my husband and I are doing what we can to better our health naturally ,through diet, walking, vitamins, sleep, whatever it takes. No body cares more about us than us! And when my time is up, it’s up! When the Good Lord says so❤️
I noticed that my blood pressure has gone up since my beloved brother passed away suddenly and unexpectedly eight months ago. I find that if I make concerted efforts many times during the day to stop and take time to deep breathe, it helps right away to bring my BP down. P.S. Hearing your calm voice and good advice also helps.
This is exactly what happened with me, I ended up with atherosclerosis, got a pain down my left arm, during exercise felt sick and came out in a cold sweat. Ended up with an angiogram and my pulmonary artery was 95% blocked. A week later I had a triple heart graft. Now 3 years on, I am on Testosterone replacement therapy (Nibido), due to low Testosterone. I feel way better now, I go to the gym 4 times a week and play walking football at 64y, I am fitter now than I was in my late 40s. I suspected low Testosterone complicated all of your health, just with inflammation in your body causes your arteries to harden, so I also take vitamin D3 and K2 together to help remove the Calcium build up in my arteries and hopefully help put it back where it should be, in my bone's. I hope this my help someone.
Thank you very much for the effort you have put all these years to make everyone understand better how BP works and contribute greatly to their quality of life.
My pleasure Stavros! Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate it. It would mean a tonne if you'd consider sharing the video with anyone who may benefit and also subscribing to the channel. best wishes Sanjay
Been a vegetarian for 40 years. Meditation and exercise the norm but have high BP.....taking Beet Powder, Magnesium Taurate amd Dr. Bergs Potassium powder, still no change...
I would really appreciate a video on blood pressure differences between both arms and your arms and legs. I would demand that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring before I would accept drug treatment. In the US, you have to arm yourself with knowledge or your doctor’s health insurance records algorithm loves to over prescribe and the doctor has to override that in order to treat you individually. Not all are willing to do this, especially because their records can be searched electronically for their compliance with insurance “guidelines” and their malpractice insurance rates raised accordingly-making it very costly to treat you.
Perfectly explained. This short video has a Payload of Tremendous Value. It challenges the norm and provides clarification for those growing number people wanting to understand a key health marker, track and manage it themselves at home. Rather than attempt to "off-shore" our health to someone else. Thank you. You have helped me.
I’m a pharmacist and absolutely hate the big pharma. I’ve become very jaded and believe that the companies are only out to profit. When I read an article, I make sure the researchers are not based out of the US since the clinical studies are manipulated and skewed to benefit the particular drug that’s been presented. I’m working on lowering my mom’s BP naturally. She is on 5 medications and her BP still spikes to 205/105. She’s not obese, exercises and eats healthy. Some supplements to consider: magnesium, glutathione, lipoid acid, L argenine, vitamins A C and E, non flushing niacin and for nocturnal high BP, melatonin.
I was on micardis for 2.5 years ....when I had high blood pressure..and being chemist and worked in pharmaceutical Industries for almost 19 years I know what are these drugs and their side effects ...I decided to change my life style with the diet then I stopped taking Micardis in last 5 years....when I switched on ketos diet with IF (a healthy version of keto diet) I have done my own research on how the access insulin and stress elevate your blood pressure of course a result of inflammation from access omega 6 in your body with having a high refined carb diet also learn how to balance minerals.... especially potassium and magnesium that you need every day for the heart to function properly with right amount of calcium and sea salt.
I wish if you would do a video on which megenisum..is very very good and best absorb in the body since there is so many megenisum in health store and should we avoid any megenisum elemental once I have seen some supplements they come with 200mh of Megenisum Bis-Glycinate? 2nd Dr.Gupta would you recommend vitamin K2 (Mk-7) as a preventive from calcification around the heart muscle or in the joints or folding in the blood I know the the clinical studies were done on 250mcg of K2 any ideas 💡 😉😊🙏 God Bless ...
Two part question. First I have acid reflux issues at night. Does taking an acid reducer interfere with absorption of blood pressure medications? Over the past several months I got off PPI drugs and am taking famotidine instead before going to bed. Second question is can people on two medications benefit from splitting their dose, taking one in the morning and one at bedtime. I have been prescribed losartan and amlopidine.
@@ratsters7 Thank you dear There is one kind of Megenisum that I don't understand why was added to supplements of Megenisum complex it was *Megenisum phosphate pentahydrate * I have been doing many reading about this ..didn't know what is the benefits why a supplements compan will add this at a dose of 500mg ...? I wish he repeat Megenisum video so I can ask him
I check mine 2x a day, first thing in the morning and at bedtime. My numbers are usually lower in the evening than in the morning. Average about 120/77/65. I used to have a fear of bp but since my afib attack, my numbers have been very consistent & I don't worry about it anymore. Heart rate averages about 60-65.
Another excellent video. This time some of its content was expressed in bolder language. The word 'profit' was used and its relevance to current guidelines was discussed. I call that excellent and enlightened medicine. The words 'majestic integrity' also come to mind. It is a great privilege to hear a man of such appropriate learning and abundant experience speak of these things with such judgment and balance.
By listening to your videos half of the problems related to the Heart vanishes and one feels totally relaxed. Your knowledge of about Heart diseases/problems is par excellence. May Almighty God bless you always.
My blood pressure is normal during the day but drops to 92/62 & I wake up feeling light headed. I'm hypothyroid & on natural desiccated thyroid hormone medication. Synthroid made me so sick for 4 years. Been on natural desiccated thyroid hormone medication for 6 years. Doing much better. But still cannot handle stress & I still experience heart palpitations but off & on. If my blood pressure gets over 125 or 130 over 90 I feel horrible. Same if it's to low. I feel good at around 120/80.
I am scared to monitor my bp. My anxiety "to the highest level" watching your video gives me hope that i'll be okay and at least i find a doctor who truly understands his patients..God bless you more!
Thanks for this video!! I watch these from time to time but this one caught me because I have high BP and any info to better understand it and holistic approaches I can take to dealing with it are much appreciated
My BP is usually good in the day when I take it at home (it's sky high in the Dr's office, so he asked me to keep a reading at home, which I bring to every appt.). When I take it at home in the evening, most of the time it's high. Most videos talk about BP when you're sleeping. But what if it's high when you're taking it yourself around 10 or 11 pm? I have such bad anxiety. If I did the 24 hour one, I know it will shoot up when I feel it taking it. And besides that, my bp is completely different when I'm on my feet making dinner or whatever, as opposed to sitting in a chair quietly for 10 minutes before starting. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Love your channel! My bp machine is an Omron, I'll have to find the watch you mentioned, thanks!
Okay, my night time blood pressure drops to quite low, 90/40. The effect is morning tiredness, dizziness and uncoordinated. Takes couple hours after awakening to be functional
Excellent site! I have been treated for hypertension for 30 years.....am 66 now.....and have never known why. Take Lisinopril and Lecanadipine every day. I am not over weight. Eat healthy. Walk daily. Non smoker. Guess I have some homework to do.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could all have a such a wonderful, calming, intelligent, rational doctor like him??

After listening to this brilliant video and having monitored my own blood pressure for 7 weeks I believe I am a reverse dipper as my readings are consistently higher at night and in the morning. I cannot get an ambulatory reading "because of covid", I can only with a great deal of difficulty get a phone appointment , always with a different doctor, despite the surgery calling me to make an appointment to see the doctor and the last one asked me what medication I wanted!! Completely frustrating and scarey. Wish I lived in York
we can post you an ambulatory BP monitor
@@YorkCardiology Yes please, that would be much appreciated. What details do you need? Thank you very much
@@keithjohnson1060 Please send us an email at yorkcardiology@gmail.com and we can sort it out for you Keith
Just fantastic. My bp has always been fine and I was running and exercising a lot about 4 years ago. With lockdown and work I'm not active much at all now. I just got results today of a 24 hour monitor and it looks very bad. Spikes at night where I'm higher bp than during the day. I'm 47. I blame my recent lifestyle though and wonder can this be reversed?
Hello Sanya, Thanks for your video’s! And yes, I have subscriped😉. My question for this video is: “What is the hypotheses for the possible nocturnal hypertension?”.
Great information thank you
Thanks so much. It'd mean a tonne if you'd consider subscribing to the channel:-)
My blood pressure the last time it was checked was 212 / 100 and everyone was freaking out but me. I figure that's what it is supposed to me. They thought I needed to fo to the hospital. I said nope . I'm 72 years old and feel fine. I'm still able to sprint while.many my age can barely walk. I take no drugs and never have. Haven't had a checkup since I was 13 years old

My blood pressure goes up at night. I can tell when it's high because it wakes me up and I can't get back to sleep. Also, if my calcium is high I can't relax into a deep sleep because my shoulders won't relax. When I take a glucocorticoid which is in my asthma puffer, about 10 minutes later I fall into a deep sleep. I dream a lot during the night, rem sleep is not a problem. My calcium is a little bit above normal, but my doctor didn't think it was serious. I take hydrochlorothiazide for blood pressure. And arginine if it is higher than usual.
Knowing my luck, I’m a double dipper! 😂 Informative, Thankyou. You make a lot of sense and this is very helpful for me.
hi Dr g ...trying to understand thanks for sharing 👍..
Such a brilliant man 🤗❤️
Im 40 years old, almost vegan and no drugs, alcohol or caffeine.
I had an episode of really bad lower back pain and went to the er to get checked. I had a bad case of dehydration and my kidneys got damaged and glomerular filtration went down, but then went up. Since that day my sleeping quality changed and I've started to get high blood pressure during my sleep (I got an ambulatory bllod pressure monitor). I don't know if this pressure is because of a really bad anxiety or my kidneys got damaged to the point my blood pressure system got screwed up. Now I'm getting high blood pressure while i sleep.
I'm getting checked to see if i can reverse or get medicated so I can dip my blood pressure while I sleep. I'm scared and anxious, but I got to keep fighting and have to find a way to get this under control and getting back to living a normal life.
Great information!
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Janice.

Thank you very much!❤❤
May god grant you long life bless your family live long for us doctors I have my ambulatory today and this what the impression was
Impression: Reverse(inverted) dipper, rule out sleep apnoea syndrome or insomnia
Thank you so much. Restoring your Dipper status is an excellent way to improve your long term wellbeing.
Hi Dr Gupta, would be good if you can discuss the harmful or beneficial situation of extremely high HDL. Thanks
Didn't take a chance and I bought an ambulatory blood pressure unit (fron Contec) years ago. Helps me check if the pills are efficient.
I had a 24 hour one twice and eventually got told I have stage 1 hypertension I am a none smoker none drinker of normal weight I had high BP since my early twenties which was only found out when I had it done at a tent to promote healthy lifestyle. I don't fit the high blood pressure category.
You are the man!!!!
if you have no possibility of ambulant blood pressure monitoring a good blood pressure measuring device a home is the next best option. You can sample a lot of measurements to give to your doctor for a reliable average.
I've recently notice that my BP goes up when I stand up or if I lower my head to work our read. And returns to norman 30 mins after I sit down and raise my head. I have stenosis in C4-6. I'm wondering if this could be causing the abnormal fluctuation.
Is it possible that having anxiety means that just knowing the cuff is taking a reading is enough to make your pressure go up?
💕💕💕 I'm taking 88 MCG. Levothyroxine every morning. On my last visit to the doctor's office, I was asked (when he was headed out the door) if I've ever thought about stopping this medication because my latest test shows my thyroid is normal. Question: Under the circumstances, could this medication be the cause of my heart palpitations at night? 💕💕💕
Tyramine was the reason of my blood pressure, I fix it
So true!!

I’m usually very sceptical of UA-cam videos on health, even some where the creators are , or purport to be, qualified medical practitioners. But this series, from a consultant cardiologist giving us all the benefit of his advice free, with no dietary fad to peddle or product to sell, is worth its weight in gold. This is what the internet is for. Ideally it would on free to view TV, as a series of shorts, perhaps with similar episodes on other aspects of health.
You are a true doctor care about people's health not money. Thanks for taking the time to make this videos to educate people. You are a noble doctor. Really telling the truth. I wish you all the BEST and successful in everything. We need doctors like you. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏

Subscribed when I came across you yesterday.
Awesome
I wore an ambulatory bp monitor..I was so stressed by it, my bp was much higher while I was awake...and lower while asleep.. My doctor implied that it was a bad thing to have low bp at night. I refused to go on meds b/c my bp was normal when taken at home (we have a bp machine).
How are you today?
I measured 160/80 at the doctor's office while I was there for a different thing (I was pretty stressed by that). At home, over the span of a few days, it slowly came down to about 130/80. They suspect it might be stress related because of this.
In a few days I am getting a 24h monitor. They want to measure a full day/night cycle because if it drops at night, it's even more likely just stress. If it doesn't drop there's a different cause that needs treatment. Maybe lifestyle changes or medication.
Thank you. I'm glad I have this information, now. I wish I had it prior to my Dad's passing. I believe his health or lack there of was the result of medical mismanagement. He was a veteran. My Dad deserved much better from his doctors, but they pushed pills. They were licensed drug dealers, in my opinion - not healers.
Thanks so much. It'd mean a tonne if you'd consider subscribing to the channel:-)
I'm sorry about what you and your family experienced! and that so many of us can relate. 💜
My Dad had very high pulse level (tachycardia). I found out that his doctor was giving him six doses of Albuterol a day. I told the Nurse practitioner that he had never used Albuterol before and probably needed it once a day, if at all. She said, "I'll check on that."
Bless her, she did, and my dad had 5 doses of Albuterol removed. He lived for three more years without weird rythyms until 92.
Fear was my enemy when I was dizzy and the doctor, after just 1 test, said I had high blood pressure and put me on meds.
Fear was became my friend when I realized that the meds. made things worse and I took steps to eat healthy and exercise. Now I don't have high blood pressure and I don't take meds. anymore.
So the problem isn't fear, but how it is being used. The fear of God is a good think because we have sinned against Him and need to have our sin debt taken care of. The good news is that Jesus took our punishment on the cross paying our sin debt in full. What He requires of us is to repent and put our trust in Him for eternal life and then we can enjoy Him foreverMore.
Thank you for this video and helping me understand all the details of blood pressure.

It's great you bring this subject up. BP is not a physical constant like gravitational pull. Actually, a
new German study determined that higher BP lowers morbidity of older people (European heart journal). Who of the huge world population has actually BP checks? 1% ?
Still, many unknowns.
Dr. Gupta..you are an amazing physician! Thank you for a commitment to total integrity!!
God bless you richly for always
teaching the truth.
I would love to hear about high blood and hormones. I don't believe there's much studys done and so female suffer the consequences.
You're truly a godsend, Dr. Gupta. I'm calling everyone who has friends and relatives that could benefit from Dr. Gupta's information, please share this and other videos that Dr. Gupta put out. Not only your relatives have information that can save their lives, but it also helps this doctor gain larger audiences, which he very well deserves.
Thank you for saying this. My mother was on BP medicine for years and she still suffered several strokes despite her BP being controlled by the medication.
FYI: There can be several additional causes of strokes, besides high BP. I hope emshe can see a Secondary Stroke Prevention Clinic...
Can GI issues or Acid Reflux cause secondary hypertension? I'm trying to figure out what is causing my blood pressure to remain high.
My blood pressure is always high when I know I’m going to see a doctor. It’s starts a few days before, while I’m there and I feel fine when I’m at home. I’m stressed because anything I mention he’s ready to prescribe a pill. Never heard him say anything about changing diet, exercise, anything, just pills. So both my husband and I are doing what we can to better our health naturally ,through diet, walking, vitamins, sleep, whatever it takes. No body cares more about us than us! And when my time is up, it’s up! When the Good Lord says so❤️
Namaskar. Thank you doctor Gupta for your sincere and valuable advise. God bless you.
I noticed that my blood pressure has gone up since my beloved brother passed away suddenly and unexpectedly eight months ago. I find that if I make concerted efforts many times during the day to stop and take time to deep breathe, it helps right away to bring my BP down.
P.S. Hearing your calm voice and good advice also helps.
Loss of a sibling is traumatic. It is good you have found deep breathing helps. All the best.
Doctor please make a video on night time hypotension as well
I have a heart murmur. Will that affect blood pressure?
This is exactly what happened with me, I ended up with atherosclerosis, got a pain down my left arm, during exercise felt sick and came out in a cold sweat. Ended up with an angiogram and my pulmonary artery was 95% blocked. A week later I had a triple heart graft.
Now 3 years on, I am on Testosterone replacement therapy (Nibido), due to low Testosterone.
I feel way better now, I go to the gym 4 times a week and play walking football at 64y, I am fitter now than I was in my late 40s.
I suspected low Testosterone complicated all of your health, just with inflammation in your body causes your arteries to harden, so I also take vitamin D3 and K2 together to help remove the Calcium build up in my arteries and hopefully help put it back where it should be, in my bone's.
I hope this my help someone.
Thank you very much for the effort you have put all these years to make everyone understand better how BP works and contribute greatly to their quality of life.
My pleasure Stavros!

@@YorkCardiology I will certainly do, and thank you again for everything you are doing to help people.
@@YorkCardiology o
How do you get your doctor to give you an ambulatory BP monitor?
Been a vegetarian for 40 years. Meditation and exercise the norm but have high BP.....taking Beet Powder, Magnesium Taurate amd Dr. Bergs Potassium powder, still no change...
I would really appreciate a video on blood pressure differences between both arms and your arms and legs.
I would demand that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring before I would accept drug treatment. In the US, you have to arm yourself with knowledge or your doctor’s health insurance records algorithm loves to over prescribe and the doctor has to override that in order to treat you individually. Not all are willing to do this, especially because their records can be searched electronically for their compliance with insurance “guidelines” and their malpractice insurance rates raised accordingly-making it very costly to treat you.
various wearable devices now provide Heart rate information through the night - is there any correlation between heart rate and blood pressure?
Perfectly explained. This short video has a Payload of Tremendous Value. It challenges the norm and provides clarification for those growing number people wanting to understand a key health marker, track and manage it themselves at home. Rather than attempt to "off-shore" our health to someone else. Thank you. You have helped me.
I’m a pharmacist and absolutely hate the big pharma. I’ve become very jaded and believe that the companies are only out to profit. When I read an article, I make sure the researchers are not based out of the US since the clinical studies are manipulated and skewed to benefit the particular drug that’s been presented. I’m working on lowering my mom’s BP naturally. She is on 5 medications and her BP still spikes to 205/105. She’s not obese, exercises and eats healthy. Some supplements to consider: magnesium, glutathione, lipoid acid, L argenine, vitamins A C and E, non flushing niacin and for nocturnal high BP, melatonin.
I was on micardis for 2.5 years ....when I had high blood pressure..and being chemist and worked in pharmaceutical Industries for almost 19 years I know what are these drugs and their side effects ...I decided to change my life style with the diet then I stopped taking Micardis in last 5 years....when I switched on ketos diet with IF (a healthy version of keto diet)
I have done my own research on how the access insulin and stress elevate your blood pressure of course a result of inflammation from access omega 6 in your body with having a high refined carb diet also learn how to balance minerals.... especially potassium and magnesium that you need every day for the heart to function properly with right amount of calcium and sea salt.
thanks for watching. I really appreciate it and it'd mean a tonne if you would consider subscribing to the channel.
I wish if you would do a video on which megenisum..is very very good and best absorb in the body since there is so many megenisum in health store and should we avoid any megenisum elemental once
I have seen some supplements they come with 200mh of Megenisum Bis-Glycinate?
2nd Dr.Gupta would you recommend vitamin K2 (Mk-7) as a preventive from calcification around the heart muscle or in the joints or folding in the blood I know the the clinical studies were done on 250mcg of K2 any ideas 💡 😉😊🙏
God Bless ...
@@juliatshamoun4666 He has already done videos on magnesium. Search his channel - you'll find them.
Two part question. First I have acid reflux issues at night. Does taking an acid reducer interfere with absorption of blood pressure medications? Over the past several months I got off PPI drugs and am taking famotidine instead before going to bed.
Second question is can people on two medications benefit from splitting their dose, taking one in the morning and one at bedtime. I have been prescribed losartan and amlopidine.
@@ratsters7
Thank you dear
There is one kind of Megenisum that I don't understand why was added to supplements of Megenisum complex it was *Megenisum phosphate pentahydrate *
I have been doing many reading about this ..didn't know what is the benefits why a supplements compan will add this at a dose of 500mg ...?
I wish he repeat Megenisum video so I can ask him
I check mine 2x a day, first thing in the morning and at bedtime. My numbers are usually lower in the evening than in the morning. Average about 120/77/65. I used to have a fear of bp but since my afib attack, my numbers have been very consistent & I don't worry about it anymore. Heart rate averages about 60-65.
Mine is kind of same, but at Am averag 110/60’s/60s.night BP a little higher , it depends what I did before!
Wish you were my doctor. But guys of your caliber don't come cheap.
Amen ! I wish everyone had a doctor like this, And I don't think it about money with him I think he TRULY cares and wants to help people.
Another excellent video. This time some of its content was expressed in bolder language. The word 'profit' was used and its relevance to current guidelines was discussed. I call that excellent and enlightened medicine. The words 'majestic integrity' also come to mind. It is a great privilege to hear a man of such appropriate learning and abundant experience speak of these things with such judgment and balance.
Thank you so much Mr Smith. I really appreciate your words
What a beautiful way to explain ❤️done with the heart. Really admire you 🙏🏻Dr Gupta Thanks !!!!
By listening to your videos half of the problems related to the Heart vanishes and one feels totally relaxed. Your knowledge of about Heart diseases/problems is par excellence. May Almighty God bless you always.
Thank you Dr Sanjay., it’s another health tips for blood pressure that’s worth listening and watching. Be safe and well.
My blood pressure is normal during the day but drops to 92/62 & I wake up feeling light headed. I'm hypothyroid & on natural desiccated thyroid hormone medication. Synthroid made me so sick for 4 years. Been on natural desiccated thyroid hormone medication for 6 years. Doing much better. But still cannot handle stress & I still experience heart palpitations but off & on. If my blood pressure gets over 125 or 130 over 90 I feel horrible. Same if it's to low. I feel good at around 120/80.
That thinking is not normal. Relax. Listen to this doctor othetweise you live with bodyterror....have fun. Have some vino...kiss thw mirror
Thank you for this wonderful explanation, you sir are sophisticated and educated. 👍🏼☮️
I am scared to monitor my bp. My anxiety "to the highest level" watching your video gives me hope that i'll be okay and at least i find a doctor who truly understands his patients..God bless you more!
Thanks for this video!! I watch these from time to time but this one caught me because I have high BP and any info to better understand it and holistic approaches I can take to dealing with it are much appreciated
My BP is usually good in the day when I take it at home (it's sky high in the Dr's office, so he asked me to keep a reading at home, which I bring to every appt.). When I take it at home in the evening, most of the time it's high. Most videos talk about BP when you're sleeping. But what if it's high when you're taking it yourself around 10 or 11 pm? I have such bad anxiety. If I did the 24 hour one, I know it will shoot up when I feel it taking it. And besides that, my bp is completely different when I'm on my feet making dinner or whatever, as opposed to sitting in a chair quietly for 10 minutes before starting. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Love your channel! My bp machine is an Omron, I'll have to find the watch you mentioned, thanks!
Okay, my night time blood pressure drops to quite low, 90/40. The effect is morning tiredness, dizziness and uncoordinated. Takes couple hours after awakening to be functional
Excellent site! I have been treated for hypertension for 30 years.....am 66 now.....and have never known why. Take Lisinopril and Lecanadipine every day.
I am not over weight. Eat healthy. Walk daily. Non smoker.
Guess I have some homework to do.
