Yes, . I meditate and learned " belly breathing " a long time ago. It

helps when I'm tense, which can be frequent. When I feel PACs or PVCs which

indicate a-fib may be starting, I stop whatever I'm doing and do diaphramatic

breathing for a few minutes. It often calms whatever is going on and averts the

attack. It's good advice from your doc.

Last month, my cardiologist suggested that I begin a daily regime of

diaphramatic breathing exercises. I have found that this consistently

reduces my heart rate by 4-8 bpm. Has anyone else found this to be

true?

Check out chi kung (Qi gong)or most any Asian training program. They

all emphasize breathing into the diaphram (Tan Tien); along with

meditation while doing so. For example:

I recently took my doc's recommendaton and bought the HeartMath Feeze

Framer. It trains one to breathe deeper and slower and shows the

heart rate as well as other data while doing so. I haven't tried it

during an afib run yet.

I have found that breathing deeply and slowly almost always terminates my afib

within a few minutes. First it goes back to premature beats. Then it evens out

to normal beats.

Take a look at the Relaxation tapes listed in our Database. Jon

Seskovich's tapes have gotten me through many an Afib espisode, as

well as Panic Attacks.
