O.K. let's see if this helps you. If you need further instruction come back and say so! I'll hang around a bit! First, I want you to know the two described techniques do work and I have seen this. It is not funny and it isn't like I am going to ask you to stand on your head and hold your breathe!

High stress is a known factor for frequent PAT episodes. You may not be able to eliminate all stress in your life, but it helps to eliminate what you can. Talking to a good therapist, learning meditation, and getting daily simple exercise like walking can all help avoid paroxysmal atrial tachycardia episodes occurring frequently.
Some people experience PAT episodes that can last for several hours at a time. This can be daunting and frightening. There are a few things that can be done to help stop a quick heartbeat. First, try not to panic, since stress over the event will only prolong it. Try to get into a deep breathing mode if possible, and remind yourself that the episode will pass.

In both the following technics you need to strain to hold your breathe while trying to blow out! Do not exhale, it is part of the maneuver. And this is not a joke. O.K.!

You can try going to the bathroom and having a bowel movement. This often stops a PAT episode. Many people use neck massage, (have your physician teach you), especially of the carotid artery to help slow fast heartbeats.

Others report that bathing the face in ice water assists in stopping an episode. Hold your breathe when you do this, as well. It should be noted that any method you try should be done under a doctor’s advice and guidance, and that first the condition should be appropriately diagnosed by a cardiologist or electrophysiologist.

In some cases the only way to avoid paroxysmal atrial tachycardia is through medications or through a surgery called cardiac ablation. When an episode can’t be stopped by the above methods, it’s a good idea to head to the doctor, especially if the rapid beats have gone on for several hours. An injection of the medication adenosine can usually help slow down the rapid beating. copied and posted!

Now, blind, you do not actually have to have a bowel movement, just strain hard! As if you are trying to! That one is simple and quick to do. You need to shut the world out and give it your all. You are tricking your nervous system here. It usually works.

If not, then proceed to the ice water trick. You get ice (no beverage in it) fill a very large bowl full and put cold water in it. Hold your breathe and place as much of your face and head in it as possible. It does help to get it in the ears. But, I personally do not like that! It is more effective, but can cause some ear problems.

If those don't work. Do not try carotid massage. You are young enough these should work. Most likely you do not have an underlying cardiac condition. However, you cannot rule it out either, without going to an M.D., which you tried and he/she should have told you these maneuvers. In the future, request a different Dr., as that one should have helped you out! Good Luck and don't let this condition persist. Also, there is an old thread here about Cardiac Tachycardia and you may want to browse into that! Catcha about 25 beats per minute lower, I hope! pr
