How can i lower heart pulse rate after weeks of spinal tap procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lumbar puncture: The heart rate and the spinal tap procedure are unrelated. If you have a rapid heart rate then meditation, relaxation techniques, and biofeedback can help. Cardiovascular exercise also helps to lower heart rate. See your medical doctor to evaluate the heart rate. In addition, your medical doctor should provide you with the results of your cerebrospinal fluid studies from the lumbar puncture.
