Q: how to get your heart rate down if deep breathing and meditation is not helping?

: Treatment really depends on the underlying cause of the elevated heart rate. Have you seen your primary care physician or a cardiologist about this problem? If you have a history of panic disorder, and no cardiac problem is found, then beta blockers may be helpful, but find the cause first.
