Have you ever had: Your palpitations checked medically? If not - recommend that. Breath in slowly ; deeply through your nostrils. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if you need to.

Manage anxiety: By learning relaxation skills ; learning to modify the thoughts, perceptions ; beliefs that trigger your anxiety. Learning to calm your body ; your mind is the key. Biofeedback helps learn relaxation skills (www.Bcia.Org ; www.Aapb.Org). Check with md to rule out non-anxiety causes of palpitations.
