  • I quit sugar and went low carb and did intermittent fasting. In one month I tossed my Lisinopril. I had been on blood pressure pills 25 years. Can’t believe sugar was the culprit for my situation!!! Good luck to all.❤️ I am 75 years old.
  • My blood pressure lowers simply from listening to your calm voice of reason and knowledge.
  • All doctors could benefit from Dr. Gupta's conscientious approach to medicine. So much compassion. What a gem. 💖

    Your calm, kind demeanor and common sense approach to medicine must be such a comfort to your patients. If only American doctors could be like you. You actually read studies and don't depend upon drug company reps for all your information. Amazing!
  • My blood pressure has been through the roof every time I go to the doctor.. they prescribed Lasix, Amlodopine, Valsarten, Carvedilol and Lipitor all together.. after taking them for about 4-5 days, I started getting unbearable yeast infections and had zero energy.. plus I was having extreme muscle cramps all throughout my entire body.. all of those were things I'd never had to deal with before taking those medications.. I told the doctors that I suffer from extreme anxiety and frequently have panic attacks and they didn't even bat an eye about any of that.. we seriously need a change in the way our medical care is operating because doctors should care more about hearing and helping their patients instead of simply pushing the medications that big pharmaceutical companies pay them to prescribe to people. . Thank u for making this video for all of us.. you're a true inspiration and a prime example of what other doctors should be following in their practices..MUCH LOVE AND INFINITE BLESSINGS TO U DEAR ONE ❤

    So appreciate this because I don’t think doctors seem to appreciate patients complaining of side effects. I am taking BP meds with some side effects but the biggest difference for me was losing weight. Dropping 30lbs caused me to drop my bp by almost 30 points
  • AND. WHEN. I. TELL. MY DOCTOR. HOW BAD. THOSE. MEDCINE. MAKES. ME. FEEL. THEY. DON'T BELIEVE ME.

    Says a lot about you as a person and doctor when your patients love you as yours do. I would feel very lucky to be one of them. I'm sure your family is very proud of you and I don't doubt for one second, your knowledge, skill and dedication is just as impressive.

    Hundreds of us find you so helpful and appreciate your channel. Your channel is the only one I will watch and listen to when it comes to the heart. God bless!
  • I didnt have any side effects it was that the BP medication wasnt working . The doc said that he had never seen anything like this as they were giving me medication 3 times a day and they tried many different kinds. So when I got out of the hospital after a month I threw all the medications away and started on a Keto diet and was taking lots of magnesium and potasium and within 6 weeks my BP came down to 120/75 and lower
  • @conifergreen2
    You just described me perfectly. The medications cause me to feel like I am dying.i have pretty much given up on them.

    I like the way that you looked directly into the camera for this video! It's always interesting to listen to you! :)
  • I've had 20 years of gastric/cardiac affliction with countless ER admissions. With 2 crash carts at the bedside I would cry, "It's not my heart! It's GAS dammit!" Well, now it HAS become my heart. And to have what I have learned through suffering & NDEs for 20 years, affirmed by your teaching videos has been HEALING dear doctor! I have learned more in 2 weeks from your videos than 20 years of hospitalizations.
  • Truly helpful and informative videos that greatly eases the anxiety experienced from anxiety, panic, depression, ectopics, palpitations, bp, heart rate, etc. Thank you for your videos and advice, you are appreciated.
  • U have so much of compassion in ur voice. Wish all doctors were like u. Keep up the good work. I love watching u.

    Thanks for sharing all the amazing videos...you always calm down those who have issues about HBP, cardiovascular etc. I never see a doctor just like you...i had 170/90 HBp 2 years ago...my doctor gave me amlodipine 10mg...it didn't work on me and my body didn't tolerate..everytime i take it i start feel headache, muscle pain and begin to have fatigue. I can't sleep 24 hours and so many bad things happened on my body and really made me on miserable condition..i have told my doctor about that and she only laughed at me and said i am the only person who felt all those things. I cried loud and felt so stress..the worst thing was i started having anxiety...really bad.. One day i heard about d3 k2 and magnesium and how it relate to HBP... I come off the amlodipin very slowly and start taking d3 5000iu k2 90mg..and magnesium 300mg perday... Guess what!! All the issues gone away...i sleep better, my BP 120/80, the anxiety go..never feel better just like this before...it's been 6 monts..i hope never have HBP or metabolic syndrome anymore...
