Home Remedies
-
As soon as you notice an irregular heartbeat, sit down and Breath slowly and deeply, letting your belly expand with each inhalation. If you focus on slow, steady breathing, your heartbeat will probably return to its normal rhythm right away.
-
If the fluttering continues, do the Valsalva maneuver: Pinch your nose, close your mouth, then try to exhale. The brief rise in blood pressure that results helps reset your heart.
-
Coughing increases pressure inside your chest. Sometimes this can also restore your heart to its regular rhythm.
- Take few gulps of cold water or splash ice-cold water on your face both can help in relieving the palpitations
