Tips to Stave Off Heart Palpitation

Tweet

When you feel like you are about to have a palpitation: 1. Cough with an open mouth. I read how people having a heart attack are advised to cough continuously until help comes. Experts say coughing helps the heart to beat regularly again. 2. Drink cool water. This helps you relax, especially during hot days. 3. Sit down and relax. It's important to think positive always. Think that the palpitations are decreasing and will soon subside. 4. Sleep well--7 to 8 hours a day. Take naps in the afternoon. 5. Get rid of unnecessary stress. Learn to let go. Learn to keep your peace, even in tight situations or in emergencies. I discover that this can be gained through practice. 6. Eat healthy and exercise regularly. 7. Don't slouch. Keep your body erect but relaxed all the time. This is important if your palpitation is triggered by reflux as in my case. 8. Last but not least, have a regular check with your doctor.
