I used to be plagued by them too ~ Here's what I did - I either took a VERY cold glass of water and drank it ~ or I pushed on the carotid artery - the big one in your neck - and held my finger on it for awhile until my pulse went down. I didn't push TOO hard, but hard enough to slow it down. It seemed to work every time.

This was AFTER I stopped taking a Beta blocker. It didn't happen very often after I stopped taking Inderal. But when it did, I was able to slow it down myself before it got too bad.

Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee

PS ~ make SURE you are checked over by your doc tho. I found out I had a Mitral Valve Prolapse - I had an echocardiogram. You need to make sure something isn't wrong before you try the above.
