I am really going mad and worried about this. Every other cardiologist says or blame thatâ  I am suffering from anxiety and sever gastritis to check that I kept my mind calm and distracted but this palpitation comes from no where, then that's all my entire day will be gone will be start worrying.
My susception (please don't take me wrong and kindly excuse me):
this all started 8 months ago in the month of february, to start with I had epilepsy (fits) when I was kind around 12 years old, I use to have fits very often my parents visited several hospital but no one was able to find root cause ofâ epilepsy (fits), one fine I had another episode during midnight where my parents rushed me to hospital and I was saved, mri scan shows nothing later neurologist suggested tablet called tegrital cr 200 mg for 5 years, I took regularly for 5 years and then I was not that regular medication,â  another episode again went to the same doctorâ  he asked continue the tablet which took for another two years, over the time passes by I completelyâ  stoppedâ  taking medication since the I never had any complications until feb 2022, onâ â february 4th I started having fits symptoms but fits didn't happen on the same day I went toâ neurologist (different doctor) who asked me to take following tests (mri brain with Mr. angiogram and venogram and mri screening of the cervical spine), by gods grace nothing serious however doctor said I have cervical c5, c6 neural compression for that I was asked to neck collar with two medication (laregab -100 & felicita od) for 3 months, taken this tablets as per doctors advise and never made a visit to that neurologist, I completely stopped taking medicine later started having too much of gas chest pain chest tightness, numbness,â palpitations on a regular basis which made me to do several test and to my surprise every other test is normal butâ palpitations doesn't stop. With this I lost too much weight stopped going out too much of depression oh god what not.
Visit to neuro center nimhans
explained everything then doctor later he too asked me to take mri brain and while spine, again brain mri is normal and spine mri shows I got c5 c6 nerve compression, later they made me to meet physiatrist who later found im suffering from ocd again they asked me to take tablets but I didn't take those tablet, they are asking me to come for therapy (weekly once) which is free of cost. Meantime I found when I ever I lay down or bend my neck to work on my laptop I get the palpitations not sure what exactly causingâ palpitations, cardiologist says there's nothing wrong with my heart on the other hand neurologist says there's wrong. Sir I feel so down with low energy feeling dizzy. Lost all of my money, I quit eating non veg and spicy food because of gastric, suffering a lot and I am not able to come out of it. I watched all your videos that is when I decided not to take tablets anymore, sir I need your help this isn't a request, consider that im begging for my life, please save me sir.
Note: I was a regular smoker for 10 years and I quit a year ago.

just smile and try to make happiness to your fellow passengers like your parents; wife; children ; neighbors; colleagues and try to forget your health problems --at least for few hours daily & accrue positive energy in your soul ---which is one of the best medicines for your problems and the only item which we can take from this world ---when we are going finally.mobile so you make a diary of your good and bad deeds daily and make sure that the good deeds are more every day -----you sleep --only after making this diary notes --you tabulate your monthly balance and see that it is positive ---
--- now let us look at your daily food menu --- take about 300 gm of fresh vegetables and glv and fruits before your lunch and dinner daily as fresh salads or fresh juice. Drink 12-14 glasses of water /fluids daily / restrict oily; fried ; fatty ; junk ; fast food items and avoid colas; alcohol ; tobacco and drugs and take maximum ethnic vegetarian food // take food in small quantity at frequent intervals // don't take food during your screen time // take your dinner before 8 pm //restrict your food in dinner parties and lunch parties / // restrict your screen time to 3 hours daily // if you are a computer professional ---take 5 minutes of rest every 1 hour at computer --go round in office --chit chat or look at distance -wash face and come back to work ----
sleep for 8 hours daily --that also at fixed timings --if your work permits // have any type of entertainment for 1 hour daily // keep regular fixed time for passing stool -twice daily ; passing urine every 3-4 hours; brushing teeth twice daily and taking bath twice daily.
