how to reduce heart beat - #14174
I am really worried about my heart lately. It all started last month during a stressful week at work—like my heart was racing non-stop, even when I was just sitting at my desk. I tried to relax and breathe, thinking that would help, but nothing changed. Went to the doctor and they said my heartrate was higher than normal and suggested some testing. I'm not even 30 yet and feel like I should be in good health! I been trying to read up on how to reduce heartbeat without just relying on meds. I’ve heard about various techniques like deep breathing or meditation but honestly, nothing feels like it has really helped me. Sometimes, it even feels like my heart's racing for seemingly no reason at all, and it freaks me out a little. Is there food I should be eating or avoiding? Does exercise actually help with how to reduce heart beat? I’m also curious if drinking caffeine just makes it worse. Anyone have experiences with how to reduce heart beat without making drastic life changes? Would really appreciate any tips or insights here, thanks!
