Here are some suggestions to manage a fast heart rate:

1. Medications: There are medications available that can help slow down your heart rate and correct its rhythm. Consult your doctor to find the right medication for you.

2. Daily Monitoring: Record your heart rate daily and note any changes. A normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (BPM). A heart rate over 100 BPM is called tachycardia.

3. Lifestyle Changes:
- Diet: Eat a heart-healthy diet filled with whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Limit sodium, saturated fat, and sugar.
- Quit Smoking: Smoking increases heart rate and blood pressure. Seek help to quit if needed.
- Limit Alcohol: Reduce alcohol intake as it can affect heart rhythm.

4. Medical Devices: In some cases, implantable devices like pacemakers may be recommended by your cardiologist.

Always consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan.

Breathing exercises. Do a goggle search. I do Sky breathing exercises everyday and during an exam in the hospital the doctor commented that it was obvious I do them. The class for Sky breathing is free to veterans and their family and spouses
