Heart Problems

I know nothing about your specific problem, but I have irregular hearbeats...found out it is due to my new entrance into menopause! But in reading things about how to help menopause effects (I can't take estrogen or hormone therapy for a medical reason) so I was looking into natural ways to help bad hot flashes at night which I was also noticing causing a rapid heart beat. IN addition I have acid reflux which cause chest pains. But in researching about the hot flashes...a place mentioned deep, slow breathing technique. Just breath in slow and calmly through your nose and gently, slowly release through your mouth. Willing to try anything even tho Idon't beleive in this kind of stuff as a rule, I tried it, and I don't know if it helps cause it does, or if it just distracts me enough to not focus on the pain or heat flashes, but in doing it for about 5 mintes at least...I do see a little bit of difference. I usually only do it at night as that is when my problems are. Mind-tricks? Maybe, But I have to say.."if it works and isn't hurting me...why not keep it up?". It does help slow my rapid heart beating and if I can calm one of the three problems, I'll take what I can get! Give it a try. I do it for about 15 minutes when I get the heart beats. GOod luck!
