Dr. Gupta, I'm now well and have gotten back to cycling because I followed your advice of increased salt intake for Long COVID. I was bedridden for almost 9 months and I really felt I was close to dying. You gave me my life back. You gave my children their mother back. Thank you so much.

@Nunal Sa Paa, can you please explain what is Long COVID? I have not heard of it. How did increased salt intake help? Why were you bedridden for 9 months? Sorry for asking such personal questions, I totally understand if you don't want to answer. But your comment makes me want to know more, and hopefully your answer will help those who are maybe having the same health issues. Thank you.

Excellent presentation and presenter. My first cardiologist diagnosed ischemia and unstable angina. Started medications but got progressively weaker. Saw a second cardiologist. He diagnosed heart failure. Lungs were filled with fluid and EF 17%. I never knew there was such disparity in cardiologist quality.

I went to my doctor with leg swelling, dizziness, a ridiculous amount of palpitations/ectopic beats and they told me it's anxiety. They pressed on my legs and saw the indentations it left and said and did nothing, except blame desk sitting. These are the same doctors who told my girlfriend her bloating was caused by "too much bread", the "too much bread" turned out to be too much tumour which caused her to have a haemorrhage that almost killed her. But I can't change doctors. So, I'm sat here watching your videos wishing I had a doctor this competent and caring.

​@@evaandrianos7805 I nagged doctors continuously. Must've seen 10 in the last year. Saw 3 more since I posted my original comment and I've since finally found a cause for my symptoms. - I have *very* low testosterone which turns out can cause all of the symptoms I have. It's very abnormal for my age, so I have to see a specialist to determine the cause of the low testosterone, get a diagnosis and begin treatment. If your doctors have told you your symptoms are caused by anxiety and you disagree, be firm with them and insist they test you for everything. It took me 5 years to finally get them to check my hormones and thyroid function.

Same here. Both my lower legs (front shins) have swelling for past 2 months with pitting when pressed. My ankles and feet don’t have pitting. I was sitting around a lot in January and February, with no physical exercise. Been to the doctors a couple of times but they keep sending me away.

I've been suffering with breathlessness, fatigue, A fib, swelling of legs and stomach for years. I had rheumatic fever as a child, was diagnosed with mild atrial stenosis and mild mitral valve regurgitation over 20 years ago. I've seen a cardiologist for echo's every few years but they always said I was symptomless despite being so puffed out i now have to keep stopping in the street to get my breath. My quality of life is awful. I was just hospitalised over night with a bad episode of A Fib and the echo showed severe tricuspid regurgitation, and my heart is not contracting fully. I'm terrified and so upset that they ignored me for so long. My ejection fraction is 50% which they say is okay but it doesn't feel like it. I'm 65 and very scared. I have a cardiology appointment this week so will see what they say. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.

Dr Gupta I have watched many of your videos from years ago and I am quite astonished that you haven't changed at all. You obviously are a great example to us all. Thank you for your work.

I love this doctor cardiologist.❤ He gives soothing information, light of hope to the hopeless.❤

So interesting, I’m determined to speak with my cardiologist intelligently rather than being brushed off as unable to comprehend what’s happening to my own body. Thank you!

More likely too insensitive and greedy. Cardiologists tend to make stupid amounts of money, which they can't do if you're not sick.

This video is very interesting Dr Sanjay and is serendipitous. I've been hospitalised 3 times in the past 8 weeks with unstable angina since having a stent placement 12 weeks ago. Each time I have been prescribed an increased dosage of nitrate. I'm not eligible for further stenosis as I have diffuse disease (calcification and >50% blockage) of LAD, D1, LCx and RCA. The ED doctor mentioned two nights ago that SGLT-2 drugs, particularly Dapagliflozin may benefit me. While SGLT-2 drugs are currently unfunded in NZ I will bring this information forward to me cardiologist, who I am seeing in 3 weeks. Serendipitous, yes, seriously worth investigating for me, yes! Thanks for sharing and caring Sanjay.

Very interesting. I will be asking about the SGL 2 inhibitors. Thank you for all the time that you spend educating us all. Please don’t leave….we rely on you so much to keep us all posted! Happy Christmas to you and yours.

Hello I have just come across your video on Slow heart rate or Bradycardia that you made 5 years ago and just wanted to say thank you very much for posting that video as I have a slow heart rate of 50 when I am sleeping or just relaxing and when I went for my sleep apnea test the specialist said she was concerned about it but did not suggest I do anything about it not even talk to my primary care doctor but now I am relieved to hear it's not a problem as long as I am not experiencing fainting or dizziness which I don't so thank you for this information I have just subscribed to your channel please keep the videos coming they are vital and necessary.

Thank you for your videos, they're very helpful. My father was diagnosed with ischaemic heart failure in his early 70s a few years ago (no signs at all until he had a 'faint' and was investigated with various tests). However, he had high cholesterol and hypertension in his 40s, going on to have TIAs and strokes in his 50s, as well as having silent heart attacks somewhere in his life (leading to severe scarring of his left ventricle). To my knowledge, no echo was ever performed until his recent HF diagnosis. My sister in her early 30s was diagnosed with hypertension, and on a recent echo at the age of 40, she has a reduced ejection fraction for her age and hypokinesia of the septal wall. I too developed an atrial tachycardia in my early twenties (ongoing), and have mitral annular disjunction on a recent echo and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction of left ventricle). My question is, how can one differentiate between heart disease/failure that are familial/genetic and those that are purely ischaemic (especially in situations like my father where he was a late diagnosis)?

Highly informative and thought provoking. Thank you for these ongoing videos. Subscribed and listening. Greetings👋 from Sunnyvale California USA .👱‍♀️🐈🐈🐈‍⬛💕💜🇺🇲

You explain so well.Really informative.

"Failure" seems like an inappropriate term. In ordinary experience, if a dynamic mechanical thing fails, it doesn't work anymore at all. (E.g. a failed bridge doesn't still partially work). Why is this called "failure" when in fact it actually indicates reduced function below a certain level? The psychological effect on a person who is told their heart has "failed" can itself be very damaging and badly impact their activity compared to what they should be doing for the best possible outcome. So often, it seems to me, medical conditions are misnomered, inducing a degree of catastrophising in people. (The term becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy). The psychological impact of what things are called and how they are medically described is taken too lightly by many medical professionals. Just making a general observation, not saying you are doing this, Dr. Gupta. [I love your channel and you have been very helpful to me.] An older member of my family hangs on every utterance of her GP and the slightest remark can make a significant long term impact on her entire mental perspective of her own status and capabilities. (And this can be, at times, disproportionately negative compared to the true reality of the situation, because of how a term is perceived. )

Thank you so much for this comment. My father (65 non smoker/drinker- obese builder- pre diabetic And hasn’t been in hospital since he was a teenager) has just been through the most traumatic 2 months of his life. We were under the assumption that he was just having a stent and then it progressed to a quadruple bypass. Thankfully he made it through but was discharged too early and he had a lot of breathing problems/ coughing up phlegm and swelling. After multiple calls to the hospital to see if this was normal, we took him to his GP to get the stitches out and a general consult. The GP took a look at my dad while he was out of breath and flippantly said “I think you have heart failure.” And moved on to the stitches. We lost our damn minds, I’ve never been through something so traumatic in my life and it has brought on panic attacks I haven’t had in years. My father is doing as well now as he can be at home but we will never be the same. To all Doctors…..THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!!!!

Thank you for your time. Could you please do a video on Entresto. Partner is triple heart bypass of 24 years ago. Hospitalised after Covid vaccine and reduced EF to 20-25%. Came out in Ramipril and transferred to Entresto, hailed as a miracle support and possibility of increasing EF. No such result has been paired with Dapagliflozin again no improvement. His tiredness is becoming more. His consultant has said that as his EF has not improved in this time it is unlikely to. I am also researching CoQ10 but it’s taking time as my degree isn’t in Medicine. But would be great to hear more in the Entresto please.

Very interesting. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for your videos Dr Gupta 🙏 I would be interested to hear your views on Franks crease, a crease on the earlobe that could indicate heart disease, there is not much info about but apparently it’s a very good indicator for heart attack , many thanks and God bless you for all you do 🙏

Thank you so much for this information! I'm in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and I feel so bad for those people who haven't got a proper diagnosis because they have preserved ejection fraction. Heart failure is already a terrible thing to have to live with, but not even getting a proper diagnosis and treatment is horrible. I always thought the echocardiogram was the definitive diagnosis. But I think there is an overreliance on technology in a number of diagnostic tools. So now finally these people can start to get some help. I personally stopped the traditional cocktail of beta blockers, ace inhibitors, and diuretics because of the side effects. My biventricular pacemaker seems to be the only thing that has elevated my injection fraction from 20 to 45. But now I can have a different conversation with my cardiologist to see if these drugs for people with preserved ejection fraction might work for me.

I have a background in bicycle racing from 1980 to 1995. I had VO2max from 60 to 75. Rest heart rate in the early 80s 40 to 45.

Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year.

Another excellent video. I do have a qustion. In your discussion of patient outcomes in the Emperor study, you said the placebo group had a 17% hospitalization (or death) rate compared with 13% for the medicated group. That's a difference of 4%, which would infer 1 out of 25 patients given the drug would benefit. Yet, you said 1 out of 31. How did you (or the study?) arrive at that number?

I've been to the A&E twice and have had my bloods, lungs, checked with Xray and ECG. My blood pressure was high, but I think it was me being anxious amd the ECG showed an ectopic heart beat. I had an incident recently while exercising (standing band fly). I felt an odd feeling not much pain very low, took a deep breath out, at the end of the breath I had a crushing sharp stab pain across chest and lungs. It didn't go away but if I had some air in my lungs the pain wasn't there. I woke up the next day fine but noticed I was getting a bit more tired walking. Now I feel a little lightheaded/dizzy throughout the day when moving around as well as palpitations, It's really affecting my work and what I do day to day. My weight is fine, I eat healthy, and I used to prior to this event work out 3 or 4 times a week. They said lungs, heart were fine nothing was concerning. Just don't understand why I feel like this.
