Tetris999 Wrote:so right now i ran a bit outside because i felt like it (checking the mail at first)

so i came back and my heart was pumping really hard when i got home and sat down it was still doing it (obviously)

now i have no idea how i did this but it sure as hell was weird, i was annoyed that my heart was beating pretty hard so i just did something really strange; i put my hand on my chest and sucked in some air. I felt my heart pulsing really hard (like 3 beats a second :P) and when i focused on it my heart slowed down and started beating 1 pulse a second(heck, i think my heart stopped 0_0), but it i started to feel weird and my chest hurt a bit and when i took my mind off slowing down my heart, my pulse went back to beating really hard

yeah, this sure is a useless thread and im swear im not trying to say im special or anything but is this something normal? can people slow down their heartrate like i just did right now?

it sure is weird.....

Running/sex/swimming/movement/activity = activity = need for more oxygen = heartbeats faster.
Slow breathing/deep breathing/couch potato-ing/non acitivity = non activity = less need for oxygen=  heart slows down to normal rate.

above = yeah its normal.
