    Was in Afib for over a year with heart rate of 110-140.
    A week ago I was shocked back to normal rhythm with a rate of 48-80.
    Feeling so much better.

    I join everyone in saying how sorry I am for the passing of your father. I hope and pray that the precious memories that you have that have built up over the decades, will help sustain you and your family, and will help dull the pain. Both my parents have been gone a long time now, but their presence is still in my heart as I know your father's will be in yours.

    Dr Gupta, I like many people am sincerely saddened by the news of your father’s passing, he must have been a truly exceptional man based on the wonderful son he has and Feel he must have been so proud of who you are and the help and support you have offered so many.
    After a heart attack in 2015 that was miss diagnosed I have watched many of your videos and over the years they have been a source of calm and simple explanation regards a number of heart issues that a lot of us face.
    Words cannot express how thankful I am to you that you give so much of your time to us in explaining the facts to our sometimes unanswered questions which in turn helps us to better understand our health concerns and minimise the anxiety most of us suffer.
    A lot of your subjects also help to validate that what we are experiencing is in most cases real and not always just symptoms of anxiety.
    You are an amazing man, best wishes from New Zealand, take care good sir.

Second, metoprolol sounds like it's effective in several ways in my case and it was good to hear because I believe I get every negative side effect from it. Also sounds like it's for life! I wish my Cardiologist would have explained this to me instead of relying on you but I thank you anyway. It's just like you to make good use of a bad situation. That's what makes you a great doctor and a great man! Welcome to our world, Sanjay, and God bless you. I'm sure your beloved Dad is beaming from above ❤!

    Some cardiologists urge rhythm control as first option because of the association of long-term afib with the development of fibrosis. However, I saw a study (can't remember who conducted it) showing data suggesting that development of fibrosis in afib patients may be due to pathologies associated with afib (such as high blood pressure) rather than the afib itself. This might be a good topic for a video. Thanks for all you do, and so sorry about your loss.

    My sincerest condolences, Doc. I had a one-time AF attack 10 months ago at 68 yo. Never had one before, never had one since. It was both rhythm & rate. They got me back to sinus in about 1 hr. Two weeks later, I got a serious condition--sympathetic NS took over my body. I couldn't sleep, eat or breathe for about 6 weeks, became allergic to everything I ate & to medications. I'm recovered & very healthy now but have chronic fatigue. I'm taking Verapamil & Trandolopril & they work very well. Not taking any other meds. Why did I get so sick two weeks after my AF attack? Is that common? You don't know how much I appreciate your videos.

    Hi Doctor, I have watched your videos for a long time and you have helped me so much. I've had paroxysmal afib for 18 years. I've never taken any medication for it. My heart races very fast when in afib. I can't take blood thinners, because I tried Eliquis for 7 days and had bleeding gums. My EP wants me to go on propafenone, but I have resisted doing that for the past 3 years. I'm very healthy otherwise, low blood pressure and normal heart rate, heart is fine, no health issues. No apparent reason to have afib. It never lasts for more than a couple of hours and usually less than 30 minutes and goes back to NSR on it's own. I had a small dose of cardizem once in the ER because the rate was 212. Your videos help relieve my stress over this, because I can't see a good treatment for me at this time. The medicines can have bad side effects and the people I know who have had ablations need more than one. Thank you for your videos.

    When you talk about a -fib triggers, I haven’t heard you discuss medications. Maybe I just haven’t come across that video. I have discovered that many medications I was taking were aggravating my condition, such as over the counter allergy pills, albuterol for asthma, and my most recent attack I think was caused by a nasal spray the doctor recommended for post-nasal drip. This has been a really critical issue for me; by eliminating these medications, I have reduced a-fib episodes from three or four a week to once a month.

    Dear Dr Gupta, I am a 48 year old male Singaporean, 3 to 4 years ago, I started developing AF for no reason. I was prescribed Sotahexal by my doctor. My AF condition did not improve at all. My AF would come all of the sudden and only go away after a night of sleep (3 to 4 times a week). Furthermore, I noticed I can get breathless and my heart would be racing like mad when I climbed 3 flights of stairs. After watching your videos 1 month ago, I started taking Magnesium citrate and vitamin C. The AF literally disappear on the first day of taking these supplements. Me and everyone around cannot believe it! Why hasn't my doctors recommended such simple solutions??? I am deeply indebted to you for your videos. You are a real life saver!!! You really improved my QUALITY OF LIFE. Thank you Doctor!

    I had atrial flutter with occasional atrial fibrillation beginning Sept. 2020. With sick sinus syndrome as well as first degree heart block was given pacemaker before any medical treatment. I was started on rate control with bisoprolol and dosage was increased gradually to control rate but I noted symptoms of congestive heart failure and titrated the dosage down but did not feel that well since I had been active physically even though am over 70 years old. I requested cardioversion that was done Aug. 2021 and continue in NSR. Prior I had been supplementing with taurine and L-arginine to try and improve cardiac function. Taurine is approved as treatment for CHF in Japan and felt nothing to lose. I wanted to try and minimize electrical remodeling and enlargement of left atrium. For me rate control did not work well but was concerned of side effects of amiodarone which the cardiologist wanted to prescribe. I am feeling much better in sinus rhythm compared to atrial flutter/fibrillation. Sorry for the long post but others may find some interest. As always Dr. Gupta your talks are enlightening for us all. I will make a donation to help the dire situation in India.

    @rossaforbes9787 3 роки тому +1

    Thanks, Dr. Gupta. It is possible that many people are confused about what constitutes "quality" of life when it comes to A-fib. My first cardiologist dropped me as her patient because I wouldn't allow any type of surgical intervention. I felt fine, but she was hell bent on proving that I wasn't. Yes, I have chronic A-fib, a high heart rate that I'd like to better control (digoxin brings it down somewhat, but is no panacea), but each time I visit my current cardiologist's office, it is the staff who seem to assume that I must have a terrible quality of life, or else why would they be urging me to rethink having an ablation? They also wanted me to have a nuclear stress test, which I refused. l think I know the answer to their opinions masquerading as facts and it's call "profitable hospitals". The point I'm trying to make is that I would like not to have A-fib, but otherwise I feel well, I exercise, I take a blood thinner, but the forces of doom are making me doubt myself. The scenario I just describes affects "my quality" of life. What I had to do to combat the forces of doom was to find a functional medicine doctor (in addition to keeping the cardiologist onboard) who agrees with me that I'm not wrong at this point. We are working on clearing up other issues which may be producing the arrhythmia and strengthening the heart muscle. Even if the arrhythmia never clears up, having a medical "buddy" has gone a long way to alleviating the stress of fending off people who think I can't possibly function without resorting to surgery. (You are a medical buddy, too! Thanks so much for your greatly informative posts. I really appreciated speaking with you for a telemedicine conference over a year ago.)

    Hi . I was recently considering the Ablation procedure; I have had occasional Afib nearly all my life. I have no comorbidities and my arrythmia gets worse if I exercise too hard.
    I've been reading about the ablation procedure and it doesn't seem super attractive to me at the moment:
    First they have to push a pipe down your Oesophagus to map your left Atria while you're awake (Like a sort of medieval torture according to some people).
    Then there are risks: The doctor may accidentally burn through the wall of the atria and the oesophagus (The food pipe)
    This gradually leads to food getting into the bloodstream. Which is usually fatal.

    Sorry for your Loss Dr. It’s bad enough going through your grief, but obviously made worse by having to endure COVID lockdown in a 2nd rate Hotel. I watch your Vids with interest as my Wife has AF on an ongoing basis. It’s been 7 yrs now since diagnosed, but recently her heart rate has increased & the flutter has became more noticeable. She’s due to visit her Cardiologist in 2 weeks so hopefully he’ll have a solution to this problem. In the mean time she finds it a challenge to go out of the house, as she’s getting breathless walking any distance. Not sure why of this either. Her GP can’t find any reason other than Wife has AF. 🙄 I feel for all Drs having to find answers to improving human health.Yor blood would be worth bottling, Dr. I believe that’s an English saying, but also used by older folks in Australia. Stay safe & healthy to continue helping the sick. Cheers 🇦🇺🦘

Hope that you come out of your present situation soon and can look forward to many delicious and healthy meals to come, stay strong, and many many thanks for all your posts I have found them immensely helpful in my own Aib experience.

    Thanks for the video Dr. Gupta! I Had an ablation 2 years ago thinking I would be able to come off the anti-arrhythmic meds. I was on flecanide for 6 years prior to ablation. Now I’m on Propafenone. My Afib is more controlled but I gotta continue to take the meds to keep it controlled. After watching this video I’m thinking more now about my prognosis since I’m on long term medication. I understand prognosis may not be that different if I choose to come of the meds but my quality of life would decrease. I do enjoy exercising. Doc, can you share studies on long term anti arrhythmics? Are there any reliable studies that you can share for those who choose to stay on the meds long term? Thank you Dr. Gupta!

    I am 62, While cycling my HR elevated to 220 bpm and stayed there even though I had stopped cycling to the side of the road to find out what was going on. After an investigation I realised I had an Afib episode. Interestingly I had Garmin watch and a chest strap HRM on (watch used for running, chest HRM used for cycling) and the wrist monitor told me a normal HR because watch measures blood flow, the chest monitor measured electrical impulses. FYI. I thought this was interesting, maybe in some instances the blood flow beat will increase! Not sure, I suspect not, I have since been to see a cardiologist. Let me know if there is something wrong with my observation people.

    Sadly profit over quality. I have had AF since 2012 and I have hd just about every test from Liverpool Heart Hospital but here are a few things that seem to start me off. Cold drinks, too much food, food late at night so I avoid them. I have had them when been 13.5stone cycling 200 miles a week or 16 stone when cycling less and lifestyle changes. There are two main areas of my body that seem to cause these AFIB attacks. 1 My stomach 2 My Rib Cage, both have different ways of starting them and here is what I mean. I can get a bloated feeling in my stomach and then my heart starts to low level flutter, it comes and goes but I know it will come full on in the next 24 hours no matter what I try to do to avoid it. The second one from my ribs is if I twist hard or bend over and crunch up my ribs then I get an instant AFIB. These can last for 15 minutes or 24 hours. Sometimes massage of the stomach or deep massage of ribs does reduce and even stop the AFIB, sometimes sudden shock like cycling over a deep grid will shock away the AFIB but I do feel that the Vagus nerve and wider sympathetic nervous system could be at the root of it all. I avoid carbs and as much as possible eat natural food and drinks and at the same time reducing tea and coffee. On Saturday I was determined to go cycling despite my AFIB and its was tough but after a struggle for 10 mile I kept massaging my ribs and it suddenly stopped. I continued for another 35 mile and didnt habe a AFIB until today Monday. I am 6ft1inch / great video and we shaould make a TV doc about this

    I made the mistake and read some medical papers on PubMed about IVF (Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrilation). It made me kinda anxious and i worry i might get sudden death out of the blue.
    The more i tried to research about this topic the more anxious it made me.
    Also the fact that i am not a doctor made things worse, because i didn't understand various medical technicalities in the paper and that made me go into wrongful conclusions about this topic.
    To those of you who are not doctors, try to avoid reading professional medical papers online because they might cause health anxiety and fear like they did to me.

    I have periodic afib following a bout of endocarditis resulting in an aortic valve replacement. The discussion of quality/quantity of life is interesting to me. As a very active person, my afib has a definite lowering of my quality of life, as I cannot do my normal beloved sports & activities when in afib. Fortunately my afib happens rarely (about every 6 weeks for about 12 hours) and after starting a magnesium regime, the incidence dropped to about 1 episode every 6 months! The fact that my anti-arrhythmia medication (Doefetilide) may somewhat shorten my life is an acceptable trade-off to me, as that medication allows me to live the life I want to lead NOW! And as an interesting side note, my afib really doesn’t result in a radically increased heat rate…if my normal pulse is 60bpm, my pulse during afib is probably only around 80bpm…but is very irregular, causing me to get out of breath just climbing the stairs to the second floor of my house!

    I sympathise with your quarantine situation having done disease control for DEFRA. We knew what worked but were still told to control situations cheaply using lies and withholding facts as “the public are stupid” (a similar message Stanley Johnson wrote in published books on population control which I have no doubt influenced his son). You are being handled based on cost rather than as an individual health risk and more worryingly, the personal risk you were exposed to on the bus. Hopefully your immune system will do the job it has done for thousands of years before crisps and cola appeared on the scene. It is not in a virus’ interest to kill the host but then the virus is unaware of our current toxic way of living. Been to hospital 7 times since Sept for BP investigations since I had the current virus (I have learnt more from you than my GP or any Worcester based specialist, many thanks) and every time the hospital has been practically empty so I wonder how many are dying of cancer etc. Good luck to you Sir and thank you for your work and support... My personal belief is that we all pass on but only truly die the day our name is used by loved ones, one last time.

    Hi Dr Sanjay. While I was reading a book yesterday, I suddenly felt 4-5 skipped beats in a row. I couldn’t breathe properly for 5 second (with chest flutters), and my heart rate went up to 130-140 bpm and was high for 10-20 minutes straight. So I went to emergency room 3 hours later, and doctors said it wasn’t afib and everything showed fine. How can they be so sure that it wasn’t afib if they didn’t monitor it during the event happened? And then what could that be? I am 19 years old btw, with no heart disease

    Very sorry for the loss of your Father. I have watched many of your videos and suffer very badly with AF. Last year to the day I had my Aortic Valve replaced and then started to suffer with AF. I can barely walk and have struggled in the last year. Because of covid I've not been able to have a cardioversion and I do not know when I will receive this. I would like to ask your opinion of D Ribose. I am currently on bisoporal, Lasarton a blood thinner and diretic. I've taken magnesium but this hasn't helped with AF. Any info you have on D-Ribose would be fantastic. Thank you.
