how to control heart beat rate - #14269

Aayan

I am a bit worried about my heart situation. Lately, I've noticed my heart beat rate spikes outta nowhere, like when I'm just sitting on the couch watching TV or even when I’m sleeping! Seriously, one night I woke up and my heart was racing way too fast. Called my doc, and he said it could just be stress, but these random heart beat rate surges are starting to freak me out. I did some Googling, and found all these different ideas on how to control heart beat rate, like breathing techniques or staying hydrated. I tried drinking more water and it seemed to help a little, but I'm unsure if I'm just imagining it. Also, I’ve read about exercise being good for the heart, but what if it makes my heart rate go even higher? It’s like all this advice is swirling around in my head and I'm not sure what actually works. If I wanted to control my heart beat rate during those crazy times, what are the best methods? Should I be avoiding caffeine altogether, or is that just overkill? I really want to get this under control because it’s bothering me a lot. It's like I'm hearing it in my head more than I should! Any tips or experiences would help a ton!
