Greetings & Questions

[Guest guest]

I'm new to this group in hopes to gain knowledge of alternative ways

of healing physically and to gain a balance. I am new to alternative

medicine as well, so please bare with my lack of knowledge. I'm a 22

year old female in over all good health. I do need to lose weight,

which I've been working successfully on. I went to my medical doctor

the other day and was given a basic physical as well as an EKG test

which appeared to show that my heartbeat is faster than it should be

while I'm physically resting. So I've been put on a medication called

Atenolol. I have never been on medication before and I don't want to

have to stay on this medication. So I want to ask, are there any

natural ways to slow the heartbeat to a point of 'normal'? Again my

heartbeat is faster while I am physically resting, or relaxed so I

suppose meditation wouldn't be an option. Though I still continue with

it because it helps me to balance. Thank you for all answers and

considerations :-)

Many blessings to all~

Yoga and solar plexus breathing helps, when you say fast - how fast do you

mean? My own averages between 80 - 90 and I never bother about it. I

thought Atenolol was an anti-hypertensive - but perhaps it's better than

Digoxin! Try eliminating all caffeine for a week and see if that makes a

difference.

For me magnesium and brewers yeast helps.

Hi,

Assuming everything else is normal, all adults at a minimum should

take a therapeutic vitamin and fish oil. I differ with your

statement that " meditation wouldn't help " . Meditation can decrease

your heartbeat and respiration rate, and deliver on the body's

regenerative abilities. I would suggest meditation (transcendental

meditation or self hypnosis) several times a day, at the same time

each day.

 

Costs you nothing to try, and may save you taking a medication and

suffering it's side-effects.

Messenger,

 

Diet is important but so is exercise. Run,walk or play sports.

Different yoga postures will help. Yoga pranayams and meditation are

all good. All of this will also not only help with the heartbeat but

also help with weight stabilization.

 

Herbs that are good are hawthorne berries and arjuna but exercise

reigns supreme.
