how to lower heart beat - #18206

Sai

I am feeling really anxious about my heart rate lately. Last week I went for a jog and I noticed my heart was racing way faster than usual, like I was running a marathon or something! I checked it with my watch and it was around 130 bpm while I was just walking after my cool down. I don’t even remember it being that high before, and normally, it’s chill. Friends say I should know how to lower heart beat, but like how? I've tried breathing exercises, which kinda helps, but it’s annoying because it feels like nothing works long-term. I've read about drinking water and keeping hydrated, but I don’t know if that really makes a difference. Also, what do people really mean when they say things like "practice mindfulness"? Is that just another buzzword? Can stress be making it worse? I feel like every time I get into a stressful situation, my heart goes off the charts—way past what I think is normal. I could really use some advice on how to lower heart beat in a way that actually works! Would love to hear any tips!
