- How to tell if the chest pains you are getting could be a heart attack - York cardiologist discusses how to tell if the pains in your chest are due to a heart attack
I could listen to you talk all day
+Kandice Bilisoly awww...thank you:-)
+York Cardiology I woke up today and my chest feels like its congested but I don't cough I just spit up mucus
Something Insperational I agree with you completely 👌
It is REALLY nice to have someone so smart be empathetic and kind. Sometimes such intelligence comes with arrogance or a lack of empathy for some reason, definitely not the case with you, absolutely perfect for dealing with medical patients and people having a hard time. I'd LOVE to have you as my doc if I got into trouble.@@YorkCardiology
And look at him as he talks! Best looking doctor I know. Quality, intelligence, decency and a caring heart! What more could one ask for in a human being?
I never comment on any videos I watch but with you I have to say that you are the BEST. I always learn from your videos. Thank you
This guy .. just helps us understand the problems that we all worry about.. plainly delicately .. with a greater understanding.. nice that he takes the time out to help us all.. god bless 👍👏
this doctor is correct in every way, i thought i had bad acid reflux and indigestion, i had this for 3 days on and off, i even at one point called a ambulance , they did a ecg on me, and said my heart looked fine, they wonted me to go into hospital for bloods, i decided not to, thinking it was just heartburn, a day later i drove to hospital at 4am in the morning, had ecg done again, they found nothing, i had to wait for bloods to come back, and it was a good job i did, i had been having a heart attack for 3 days on and off, i was admitted into hospital, 3 days later i had heart surgery Stint, 2 Artery blockages , 1 part blocked and the other completly blocked, i got to go back to hospital in 6 weeks to have another stint, im only 44 years old male, i do have type 2 diabetes, so no matter what even if your ecg is ok, get your bloods done
Wow.
Thanks for this
They said I had a heart attack, didn't believe them. Wanted me to stay 2 days to run test. Said that blood work confirmed this. I told them this discomfort came only when I ate food. Had a H pylori test and was positive. Treating that I now and everyday I feel better and better. Upon research I found out that the blood enzyme that was elevated can also be elevated due to brain damage or kidney disease of which I have both. I just don't trust hospitals. Once they find out you have insurance it's ching ching. I stopped smoking and focused on eating healthier and hope to beat this .
ECG won't reveal of you have any blocked in your arteries. The ECG is only for the 'electrical' flow in your heart. 2D Echo examination is the best way to find out if you have blocked arteries
WHAT?!?! are you kidding me? This is scary bc I could totally see myself doing this. Why did the tests come back fine then?? How are you now? 🙏
You always provide such important information. I often listen to your videos more than once to be reassured.
Thank you.
I'm just going thru all ur videos to understand this more. So glad I found u
thanks Tina:)
These could also be signs of panic attack. I always get tightness on chest and feeling of extreme discomfort, dizzy etc. during panic. Have called ambulance a few times.
I had a heart attack with all the women symptoms and found my LAD was 99% blocked. I had a heart cath and a stent. Several doctors brushed it off as indigestion and GERD. My EKG and labs were normal, but they kept me for observation when my troponin levels spiked. After a year I’m having the same symptoms but mild with chest pain burning and breathlessness on exertion. I insisted on tests such as a scan, another heart cath, 2 echos and a ZIO monitor. I’m told i have anxiety. Yeah after a heart attack but no my symptoms are real and my medications no longer work. Doctors look at tests but don’t listen to the patient. Thanks for the education so I can determine what to do next. I don’t want to ignore this & damage my heart. ❤️
So useful dear Doctor..... your videos are so valuable to us.......and such a pleasure to listen to.... Wish you were in our country!........Bless you!! ......as always....
Thank you so much for sharing I am in my 50s and have been having a lot of pressure at night in when I sleep with other symptoms of course during the day. I will take your advice and go see the primary care and I will let you know how everything goes! God bless
you're an amazing Doctor. great explanations.
I learned so much from your videos dr. Gupta
Love your video's Sanjay! May I suggest that when you're telling people to call an ambulance and go to hospital that you emphasise that they should NOT drive themselves to hospital and NOT take a lift from anyone else [what happens if they die half way to hospital]!!
Thanks Sanjay for the advise I've learned more a lot with your video keep it up!
Thanks to your videos I overcame heart failure from a virus. I went to hospital with 15% ejection fraction. After a year it is 58% thank God and all the medical professionals. I have a pacemaker defibrillator implanted. Your information is so valuable. Please keep helping. My father died of a MI at 52. He thought it was a cold
Hey , my dads ejection fraction is 30 , how can i improve his????
Thank you for all your help Doc. God bless you ...
Thank you so much for your videos... they are very helpful
How to differentiate the panic/anxiety type of pain from heart attacks and pain? It is exactly same. I’m 28 yo female
Thank your doctor for the great information
Great advice. Thank you.
I loved this video thank you so much. Very well done
God sent genius well done keep up the good work, dr s gupta.
so we need to read these many books to become a doctor. a big thank you sir🙏
Thanks as always. Would you be so kind and make specific differential diagnosis between panic attack and heart attack assuming boatmen's gave no history if heart issues. I would love to send it to my clients. Thank you
Very informative. Thanks.
Sometimes I feel a prick like I have been stuck with a needle. Only last a second or two. Scary...
me too
That's not your heart
As always, great information. Thank you
Good day to you doctor. I am a scared about my 17 year old, once physically active son. He is into athletics but gets chest pains/ tightness after making laps or during exercise. He also has developed a lot of allergies and what may be sleep apnea. Help
Hi . Hope you are well. Any updates on your son?
I can’t get a echocardiogram through the NHS. I’m 28 now and genuinely know something is not right but they don’t want to take me serious because I’m under 30. I had ecg but that doesn’t always rule out heart defects. I don’t see why people cannot get checked throughly if they have never been checked before.. it would be a lot safer that way. Instead I just feel guilty for going to doctors now.
I’m going to have to go private here in the UK which will be costly I imagine.
Thanks for vids
Ty, for all your doing and talking about!
Hi Gupta. Thanks for the nice video. If I come over to England, I will visit you for a check-up on me. I am a Mauritian and I live in Mauritius. Four years ago I had an ECG and cardiologist advised me to forget if I was having a heart attack. After checking me and the ECG he said that my heart pain was more of a muscular pain. Now I will be 51 in December and I keep getting my symptoms (quick stinging pain in the heart). I even quit jogging for fear of having a heart attack while running. I drink apple cider vinegar, pure squeezed lemon and ginger in the hope that these are beating away any heart issues. I also had neuralgia (upper back severe pain) and had cortisone injection, morphine and olfen injection to kill the pain. I was put on solupred but all these medicines gave me edema in the left foot. I quit the medication but the only a slight swelling is still there. The edema hasn't subsided completely (although I can say 70% of it is gone). I quit all NASAID tablets for fear of risking myself having a heart condition. Please advise. Thanks.
How are you now my dear?
How are you after 4 years?
Hi dr, I had 3 hart attacks, no chest pain, but behind my left shoulder blade it was a terrible pain that cam and after a minute or two it was gone
Hello, I get occasional chest pains that get sharper when I take a deep breath and when I bend over and lie down. They usually last 1-2 days and are relieved when i sit or stand upright. They're only the left side of my chest. I wonder if it's a pulled muscle, rib issue or anything related to my heart since I also regularly experience heart palpitations.
Looking at this after spending night in hospital and having all the tests done. All clear.
I now believe it is possible my severe chest pain was due to MSG food flavouring 635 in the food i ate that night .
Be careful as many people are allergic to MSG. Wasted all those hospital resources because i ate noodles with attached sachet of MSG 635.
You're a good person.

Hello, I get occasional chest pains that get sharper when I take a deep breath and when I bend over and lie down. They usually last 1-2 days and are relieved when i sit or stand upright.

I do have pretty much the same symptom when I stop exercising for a longer period of time and loosing muscle mass. This very localised pain is always coming from the same spot, which is in between the 5th and 6th rib on the left hand side. Mostly occurs in the mornings, after sleeping on this specific side during night, which is nothing more but a stuck rib muscle. After regular exercise however, it is going away nicely. (I checked in the past and if I'm applying pressure on that spot, it will activate the pain)
Man how did it go ? I literally have the same symptoms for two years now
I'm having a left chest pain or pressure, it goes away when I take an aspirin and go to my bed, but in a couple of hours when Im feeling better it comes back, as soon as I start working again. thank you for your help.
It could be anginna .... have your self checked now
Is it still there after 3 years?
Dr. Q no I found out that it was a muscle pain.
Same with me from past 20 days
Had all the symptoms but turned it was just anxiety. I suffered with it for a whole one-year. My everyday routine even my sleep and thinking were gone. Due to each and every minute thinking regarding these kind of things.
I've felt all these symptoms, gone to ER and no heart attack, does anxiety mimic these symptoms this closely ?
I was told that it does when I was taken to the ER room.
Auggie Williams scary shit man I also ended up in the ER because of chest pain and trouble breathing but they said I was fine it was "just anxiety"
@@killamike6403 i had a chest muscle pull and since i never had it happen before went to emergency..and yep, was fine in terms of heart issues. Now I'm having more of the same (the soreness/discomfort kind of jumps from location to location) and honestly, i just dont want to go to the hospital to stay a few days and be miserable just to be told im fine...it's annoying..and yeah i know the alternative is "death" but i just wish there was an easier way to tell.
Yes completey. I've had a heart attack and developed anxiety since. It's a cruel thing that the two have extremely similar symptoms.
Dr Gupta, whats your opinion on keto diet and heart health?
Listen, guys! ECG won't reveal any blocked arteries. They only reveal the pattern, the rhythmic or electrical of the current of your heart.(I don't know if that's the proper way to say it). 2D Echo examination is the best way to find out of you have any blocked arteries!
No it isn't. An echo does not show the condition of coronary arteries at all.
Just wondering if you've done anything on aortic valve replacement ?
my girlfriend has been experiencing heart pain more often since she caught on influenza, it has been 7 months or so, and she still has chest pain that leads to arm pain and jaw pain. she is only 20 years old with severe anxiety and depression. she came from a family of irresponsible parents couldn't even feed her well and she refuse to go to the doctor because she doesn't want to burden people. and I am very concerned
It's most likely anxiety.
I had a heart burn...and I was thinking it was a heart issue. Or panic attack.. could not believe that I could experience it at that time..
It would wake me up at about 3am very often,and it was scary feeling.. looks like I had a GERD...
Great information thanks
A lot of UA-cam Drs. Say it must be crushing pain? You hear a lot of different responses?
I had chest and arm pain.... what kind of chest and arm pain does heart attack be like?
Great advice doc thank u
Hello doctor.greetings from India.Im 30 slim.male .For some days there is very light pain in left side of chest,which lasts for seconds only. Should I rush to the hospital.I have no bp diabetes or not so family history.plz reply
Just because triponin and ecg is ok doesn't mean the risk is gone cause u could hav a big blockage or more
Howdy Doc, I'm a 30 to make who has a heart arrythmia. whenever it happens every muscle in my body ages to work out, but especially my legs. I get a uncontrollable urge to run which sucks because it usually only happens when I lay down to sleep. what causes the urge? the extra blood flow?

Dr.sir, Your book shelves look like British Council Library. The vdo, needless to say is above excellent. All ways to go about are high lighted.

Is it possible to have chest pain on a ketogenic diet or a low-carb diet? Can eating meat that's high in omega-6 also cause chest pains?
I hope someone answers. I noticed fake sugar gives me something that I confuse for chest pain.
I live in york too :) i'm 26 M, i've been to hospital twice in the last 18 months due to chest discomfort and pain, both times my blood tests ECG and chest x-ray were all fine. They said it could be acid reflux or anxiety, but almost everyday i have palpitations, flutters and deep/sharp pains in the left side of my chest, it happened just now and i saw a muscle spasm just under my left pectoral. Should i visit my GP? i really want to find out what is actually causing this, it doesn't feel like acid reflux and it happens even when i'm not feeling anxious
yoooooooooo97 any updates ? I have the same thing .
yoooooooooo97 how is it now? I’m 23, healthy weight, been suffering with these symptoms myself for months! Palpitations I’ve had for years but the chest pains worry me, I’ve been urgent care many times with ECGS coming back fine, told it’s ‘anxiety’
yoooooooooo97 I have the same I can feel my heart pounding and shortness of breath
Rafael Martinez mine stopped I thought I was gonna die , must've just been anxiety .
I have the same symptoms and hope it gets better
Could burning in chest not also be acid reflux?
❤ literally!
I called the ambulance today. By the time they got here I was feeling better. They checked my heart rhythm and it was perfectly normal. Heart rate was at 70. BP just a bit high 140/90. But considering i haven't slept well and I was a bit anxious that was not bad. I keep waking up in the middle of the night and feel indigestion which resolves in about 30 to 40 minutes. This time it was about an hour. Should I see a cardiologist?
i suffer from the same thing yes u should go get ur self check my doctor told me i was fine he said my heart raises because some times i feel pain in my left arm and u get nervous i start thinking ima die the more nervous u get the worst it gets try to breath and relax but still go see a doctor it could just be anxiety 😳
@@jerryzam374 That happened to me as well. Felt slight pain in left arm. I did go get a 2D Echo test and all was normal except I may have a murmur. I was told many people are born that way and live a normal life. Lucky for me no clogged arteries. Thank God. I have sluggish thyroid, One week after taking dessicated thyroid compound, I am feeling much better. No more pain on arn and few heart palpitations. Lots more energy. Less tired.
I've been having chest pains since 2009 I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and OCD. I went to my primary care doctor because I was having chest pain and shortness of breath you recommended me to cardiologist I had a stress test echocardiogram also carotid ultrasound all the way up on the heart and he even suggested doing a catheterization which I did all come back normal my cardiologist says it wasn't coming from my heart it was either due to gastric problems or my anxiety. Since then I've had two other cardiologist just to get a second opinion they repeated some of the test again and I'll come back normal but I still have atypical chest pain what could it be?
Does this pain increase when exercising or can you make it worse by touching it? (the area of your body that is hurting)
Because a heart condition should always get worse when exercising and any pain that can be increased by touching usually has nothing to do with heart problems.
Triumph ty!
Please explain COSTOCHONDRITIS
Same bro
Iam from Jamaica all wen you're dying they dont look at u you just go in the emergency room like that no way they say u have to wait wen things get out of hand that is the time they rush u in

Hi i am 22. I am having chest pain for quite a few days. I consulted a cardiologist and he couldn't identify any heart problems. I am bit fat as well so what should i do. Oh i am also having a pain in the back bone of my arm.
Avishek Basu r u okay now eben me am suffering this symptoms
lose weight, don't eat crap, and exercise.
UBEYDAH AHMED till now i am fine but their is still a bit chest pain. Light chest pain. Thank you for asking
Anonymous 1 yes now i am concentrating on my diet. I do consume green tea every day and oats meal for breakfast and in coming weeks i will start having salad for lunch.
Donald Duck the green tea has a lot of caffeine which can have an inflammatory effect. Especially if you happen to have extra weight, that with the tea might put an unfair burden on your ticker. I do keto because I have a caffeine problem. Caffeine and any stimulant really fattens me right up.
So what can it be when you get the stabbing chest pain that comes when breathing in deep? is that okay or should I go see doctor 👏😂
+Stephan Coetzer Always worth seeing a doctor although it is not the typical discomfort associated with the heart which is more a squeezing/tightness
+York Cardiology thanks man 👏I did go to the doctor! he said it was infection in My ribbs between the bones
York Cardiology ✌️💪🙋🏻♀️ love all your videos
I had burning sensation in my chest..turns out I had a STEMI.
Bummer. All worked out OK though?

But,doc in India if u complain of chest discomfort,our hospital s will never leave u &fleeze u a few lakhs .irrespective of real heart problem or a simple
I'm so dead.
Hopefully not yet.
