my friend i am sorry but there are no vegetables or over the counter medications that can slow down your heart rate. i would suggest telling your screening doctor that you are very anxious and that you suspect it is anxiety because lets be honest. its pretty intimidating. 85 as a resting heart rate is pretty fast but can be normal. for long term solutions i would try running or doing some sort of cardiovascular exercise. this can reduce anxiety and get your heart into shape which will lower your resting heart rate. for short term results. breathing exercises it is.
how can i slow my pulse for a few hours? no breathing techniques or meditation please. need to pass a medical screen but my bpm is hitting 102. i know this is due to anxiety. the screening doctor says it's tachycardia but i just get anxious around his loud ekg won't accept anxiety as an answer. my own doctor measures my bpm while monitoring my wrist/neck with a stopwatch. my pulse is always under 85 there. at hone i monitor my own pulse with a home ekg it is also always under 85. is there any otc medication to lower my pulse? any fruits or vegetables?
