how to reduce heart rate - #21816

Hriday

I am really starting to worry about my heart rate. It's been going up a lot lately, especially when I'm just chilling at home or after a long day at work. Like, I’ll be sitting on the couch watching TV and I suddenly feel my heart beating really fast, sometimes even over 100 beats per minute, which is super freaky! I went to my doctor last week, and they checked it out, but everything came back normal, just some minor high blood pressure and stress stuff. They said to find ways on how to reduce heart rate. I tried taking deep breaths and chilling out, but it only helps a bit, like I’m still uneasy about it, y’know? Does anyone else here experience this? How to reduce heart rate more effectively? I read somewhere that exercise is supposed to help, but honestly, even moderate stuff just makes it worse sometimes. I mean, are there specific techniques or lifestyle changes? Like, what actually works in real life, not just theory? Plus, should I be checking my heart rate more often or just wait till it calms down? Thanks a ton for any tips, I'm honestly feeling kinda lost right now.
