In my experience the more senses you engage with something that isn't the anxiety trigger, the more it tends to help, hence why lots of people recommend chewing ice. This further having a biological reflex to slow the heart down is all the more effective. One final thing I'll say is try to build a slight taste association with your calming down. My xanax tablets have a certain taste, and my body has now somewhat tied the taste to the calming.

@kassiep I'd be glad to help.I know exactly how you feel! First step is to get an ice chest. They have cloth sealable ones I usually get on amazon but you can use anything. Fill it with cold water and a shit ton of ice cubes. I mean a crazy amount of ice. You're probably going to have to go buy some bags of ice. Once it's been sitting for a while getting super cold, You dunk your whole head inside and hold it for as long as you can bear. You wanted to feel unbearably cold and keep holding it after that for a while longer. Your whole head needs to be dunked, your whole face and head. After you take your head out you will immediately feel relief from panic and anxiety. Sometimes the anxiety can come back in a few minutes so just repeat the process. It's almost like taking 1 mg of xanax to be honest. I have a small portable one also and I even bring it inside of the doctor's office with me lol

During the visits where I was under anesthesia I almost every time experienced being abused and I had nothing to say about the procedure. I felt very worried about each visit. I was refused medications, etc. Now that I talked to them about my bad/horrible experiences, things has improved. It's thanks to educating myself through internet + your channel. The way you explain things is easy to understand for a normal person. You are calm and tell the truth, which inspired me a lot. I should not feel bad the two days prior to each visit and hurt a lot afterwards cause they did not give me the attention they should have. Doctors (and staff) can be very aloof and detached from emotions. For them I think many are tired of doing the same thing every day. They become more machines than humans. It was a lot of nightmares and also waking up crying after I awoke from anesthesia. I went home feeling sad and confused. I live alone. My son gotten old and moved to another city.

❤ Love the heart ♥ what a marvellous organ it is everything literally if it's not working (failing) then every organ in the body suffers. Saw when my Husband was alive lived with many chronic states of health how forgiving amazing heart can be how it compensates adjusts copes keeps us alive miraculously. You can be brain dead but only die once ❤ stops beating. Just think how big a body is to size of heart that beats continually all our life till last breath & all work it does - we should "cherish" appreciate look after our bodies ❤ precious what a fantastic job it does.

this is one of the suggested vagal maneuvers to try slowing heart rate during SVT (Supra ventricular tachycardia). Anything to avoid adenosine!

What are some other manuevers that work? thank you
@KatarinaS.Ай бұрын
@mi81tkne47 I have been diagnosed with SVT as well. Some other methods that work are blowing through a syringe, holding breath and bearing down, and the one they had me do at the hospital in which they had me lie back on the bed, they may have even inverted me, then they suddenly raised the head of the bed up while I held my breath and bore down as if I was giving birth. I can't remember all the details, but if you google or look up on youtube "vagal maneuvers for SVT" or "valsalva maneuver" they should come up for you.

@SwbbboyАй бұрын
FYI for anyone who uses this technique, it's actually one of a group of techniques to reduce cardiac activity (which can help with arrhythmias and psychological stress). If you don't have ice water on hand, a less effective method that has an extremely similar physiological effect is the "valsalva" maneuver, basically you hold your breath and build up pressure in your torso (should feel similar to pushing on the toilet lol). It stimulates pressure receptors in your neck (carotid baroreceptors) that help regulate your cardiac activity to ensure your brain is getting sufficient bloodflow. The rise in pressure causes your heart to beat more gently and slowly. This is basically a portion of the mammalian dive reflex. When you enter cold water, your body shunts blood away from your extremities and nonvital organs and directs it to the most necessary tissues (heart, brain, etc.). Shoving all this blood into your head and torso sharply increases blood pressure and stimulates those same receptors in your neck to calm down your heart. The mammalian dive reflex is a reflex though, meaning you don't have to consciously do it like you would with valsalva, and it's doing more than just increasing pressure in your torso, so it is certainly more effective overall. Still, valsalva can literally be a lifesaver in a pinch!

@@nooux1966 You are correct holding your breath does decrease your heart rate, but its not the near instant rate change that we observe in the video. The mammalian dive reflex is real and biologically important. Marine mammals would not be nearly as successful as they have been in an evolutionary sense if it did not exist.
@@nooux1966 Its called the mammalian dive reflex dude. It evolved to help mammals dive, and is critical for dolphins, whales, seals, etc. to be able to dive for extended periods. What I am trying to say is, simply holding your breath is not the same thing as triggering this reflex. You generally need to get water on your head or face to trigger the dive reflex in addition to holding your breath.

In Indian tradition, splashing cold water on someone's face is sometimes used as a quick remedy to help calm a person who is panicking or feeling unwell. This sudden and forceful action can help shock the system and bring the person back to a more alert and stable state.

About five years ago, I discovered this same method and it helps me manage extreme nausea. One day, I felt incredibly nauseated, which for me means getting very hot and weak. I lay down and asked my then-girlfriend to bring me some ice-cold water. After drinking a bit, I was still so hot that I poured the rest of the water on myself. With both the ceiling fan and a portable fan on high, the combination of cold water and powerful airflow quickly cooled me down. Lying in a soaking wet, cold bed with ice around me, my nausea subsided, and I was no longer hot. After the initial shivers wore off, I felt much better. Since then, I've used this method whenever I experience severe nausea, no matter where I am.
