What Works best to calm palpitations?

[SheRaSparkles]

Hi. When the palpitations hit, what do you find works the best to calm them down? Thanks

Im in the same boat

Just tried Bisoprolol today so hoping they calm down soon..

Not sure how long it takes etc.

Non medication - a good solid walk/run helps me!

I can’t take beta blockers as they drop my blood pressure too low. I’ve been given Flecainide but just too worried about taking it! Im a dancer and new term starts Monday. It’s good to know that some solid cardio does the trick! I’m hoping ballet does the same!

I was suffering with palpitations for several months after a severe infection that landed me in hospital. I was put on bisoprolol and it took a good 6 months before they were completely eradicated for me. But everyone is different.

I use an ice cube at the roof of my mouth. This usually works for me

[SheRaSparkles in reply to CliveS]

I’ll give that a go, thank you 😊

I find deep breathing, ice cold water and a cough can slow them down.

Hi. I'm new here but that's a good question and I'm interested in what other people will say... The only things I can do really when they are really bad is to go to sleep. They are definitely worse when I get poor sleep but then again you can have a bad day when you slept well. Sometimes, a vigorous workout can stop them while you're working it, but then they start again after you stop working out. Sometimes distractions help - anything that really gets your attention and requires focus - but not always. And finally, and this is weird, I sometimes find that if I get angry about something, they temporarily go away, perhaps that's also a form of distraction

I could definitely do the angry thing! I should turn the fear and anxiety when it happens into anger and shout them away. I’ll give anything a go. Thanks

Definitely coughing stops mine,it’s made such a difference,I’ve been taken to so many different hospitals with an attack,always blue lighted,but now I just keep coughing and it stops,I’m also on bisopralol 7.5mg
