Thank you for this video. Recently been dealing with severe heart palpitations upwards of 200BPM for up to 3 hours. Had test done cardiologist thinks it’s SVT. I drank water to fast while taking my Motherwort supplement(great for heart health for those interested) and triggered the palpitations again which of course triggered my anxiety which of course made it worse when I stumbled upon this video. I was told about breathing techniques but wanted to make sure how to do them and this video just made my heart rate go from 190 to 75 in an instant. I cannot thank you enough!!!

My heart rate was 105 (sinus tachycardia) and my BP was 140 over 89. I held my breath and pushed down like I was pooping for 7 seconds, then blew my breath out slowly for 8 seconds. My heart rate dropped to 72 and my BP dropped to 117 over 65 and it stayed that way for a while. It got to 119 over 69 right before bed. Works like a charm when I feel a panic attack coming on!

105 is not tachycardia, especially if there is anxiety involved.

That’s really useful, but it’s temporary. Make sure to take care of the suggestion that you’ve unintentionally programmed into to your brain. That’s what causes the symptoms. That’s the real problem, not the anxiety. Anxiety is just one of the symptoms of your belief in a non-existent threat. Stop watching KZbin videos on cardiology. That just feeds the problem. Focusing on this and worrying about this programs your mind to produce the symptoms. Treating it like a real illness only feeds those erroneous beliefs. Trying to make it go away, relax, or do anything may be necessary for temporary relief, but the best remedy is to learn to let go and not acknowledge it as a problem. Look up “DARE Anxiety” and “Claire Weekes”on KZbin, as well as books by Edmund Bourne and Reneau Peuroy.

Thank you! This helped. I did two of the examples and it corrected my episodic SVT and associated discomfort within 1 minute. Saved me from having to take medicine that would have made me tired. Thankfully, I don't have the type where I have to go to the hospital each time, and hoping it doesn't progress to that. So glad to see the various examples.

When I get SVT what works for me is to lay on my back on the floor then bring my legs up and curl by bringing my feet all the way above my head then I take a big breath( or at least I try, is kind hard in that position ) and stay in that position for about 5 seconds, it works for me 80% of the time.

Your video saved my life tonite! Thank you! I used this Valsava technique (5:02) to slow down my heart rate at the hospital so I could be allowed a proper CT scan of my heart (seeing the meds were not working, I stumbled upon this video) Since I did not have the plastic syringe piece , I simply pursed my lips like a straw. I did the technique while laying down in bed. Because it was safe and I was not in danger mode, I added 2 things for those who just need to calm down a little or meditate: brought my heart from 76 to 69… 1- “8-7-8” breathing w pursed lips and mouth only breathe in for 8 hold for 7 blow out for 8 w pursed straw type lips whole time 2- on my phone and using you version app (version I chose was the message ) I played the Psalms in my Bluetooth headphones while doing the valsava and 8-7-8 interchangeably (The nurses happened to mention the Bible did not mention this valsava method . Had it not been for your video, I would not have been approved for the scan tonite! Thank you so much!!!! Singing teacher and recording artist Michelle gold

How to slow heart rate down fast? Simple but specific actions such as coughing, bearing down as if passing stool or putting an ice pack on the face can help slow down the heart rate. Your healthcare team may ask you to do these specific actions during an episode of a fast heartbeat. The actions affect the vagus nerve. How to stop heart palpitations in the vagus nerve? Healthcare providers often use these: - Valsalva maneuver (bearing down like you're having a bowel movement (pooping). . - Diving reflex. - Carotid sinus massage. - Gag reflex. - Coughing. - Handstand for 30 seconds. - Applied abdominal pressure.

Thank you very good vid. I was diagnosed with atrial tachycardia. I had a catheter ablation years ago but it was a failure. Fortunately I only have tachycardia episodes maybe 3 times a year. The rate is very high. EMS once clocked it at 239 bpm. I've tried all the maneuvers but, for me, I've had very good success with doing a shoulder stand as quickly as possible. I'm 71 so my wife helps me to get my feet up into the air in as quick a motion as possible.

If I can catch my episode right away I do a cartoid sinus massage and hold my breath for about 10 seconds and the last 3 episodes I was able to convert right away. Vagal manoeuvres helped early on and I was able to use those but over time I was not and ended up in the ER. No ER since the carotid sinus massage trick. And no calcium blocker meds either.

I have had annoying supraventricular tachycardia for more than 10 years in a row with very high rates of 220 or more beats per minute. Once after 6 hours of trying to stop it I had to go to the hospital and they injected me with adenosine. It was traumatic, I had a very bad time, I thought I was going to die right there, although the doctor had already warned me of that terrible feeling. After that my husband found something online to stop them, Modified Valsalva Maneuver. It consists of blowing into an empty syringe for 15 seconds, using enough force to move the plunger and immediately after the 16th second I lie back and he lifts my legs. That's when I notice a kind of pain in my throat, a very strong heartbeat, and the rhythm returns to a normal sinus rhythm. It is quite effective. I hope I can help someone with this.

edit *** my heart rate at rest is 52bpm and when sleeping goes down to 38-42. I'm not in great shape health wise due to a accident which caused a TBI and many broken bones in 2014 and I have had many complications due to the TBI with many T2 hypertensities in my white matter and gray matter in my brain and subdural haematomas. Just thought id add this to see if anyone has any suggestions on maneuvers to help my heart rate. My heart skips a beat about every 10 seconds I get flutters, dizziness and fleeting shocking like pain which shoots from the left side of my chest up my throat and jaw then goes. This has been happening for about 6 months now. When it first started happening It only happened every 30-40 seconds but now roughly every 10 seconds. Iv tried these maneuvers in this vid and it makes my symptoms worse and it happens every few seconds. Now I'm wondering what else I can do to try help? I'm beginning to think I'm not going to see my 34th birthday and miss my children grow up. I have passed out on 4 occasions, I have an appointment at the heart specialists in 2 months which I believe it will/might be too late. I haven't told my wife as I don't want to worry her BUT now I'm getting pains which go into my throat, neck and jaw which sometimes comes without the chest pain and flutters or sometimes with. When it comes without the flutters and skipped beat it can last for up to 5-10 minutes and I have passed out, luckily when my wife and children are not in. I don't want to cause them any stress. if I can help it my self to calm it down a bit until my specialist appointment that would be great. It's hard lying/not telling her about it because I never keep anything from my wife so this is making me feel bad/wrong for not telling her but again, i don't want to cause any unnecessary stress to her. Are there any more maneuvers you could suggest? Thanks for any help you can give.

100 is nothing! If you have been walking around a store it will be at 100. It’s not a problem. Even 120 is okay if you are very active. Not healthy, but not life threatening. If you’re afraid of course your heart is going to beat fast.

@@oneFichi10 you need to go to a cardiologist and get a holter monitor for 2 weeks. My monitor caught a rhythm called Sinus Tachycardia which is normal. My diagnosis was panic attacks due to post traumatic stress. Make sure you check your thyroid, iron, and vitamin d. Vitamin d deficiency, hyperthyroidism, anemia and adrenal fatigue and high cortisol can cause this fast heart rate. But you need to see an endocrinologist to check your cortisol because you have to check it multiple times a day. They also check your DHEA levels.
