Strong palpitations due to exam anxiety for the past week before sleep and after waking up. i've st started meditation but anything that would help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Palpitations: Continue the medicine prescribed and in time the anxiety or panic feelings should subside. Also, you can blow 20 x into a paper bag to breathe CO2 back and do it slowly, forcefully, which often calms things down.
