You do know a lot. Thanks for this. 🙏
I am struggling so much with this condition too… it is exacerbating a long term chronic pain syndrome I also have-pudendal neuralgia-(which I managed not too badly in the past with exercise) and throw the debilitating scenario of anxiety about my health into the mix and it’s pure misery. I haven’t been able to understand why my doctor is unconcerned about the tachycardia. Your response here adds clarity. I have many episodes a day of up to 185 bpm - exacerbated by emotional and physical stress. I find I have been avoiding exercise as a result and this has been detrimental to my overall health. Grappling about what to “do” about it all is tiresome. Sleeplessness from the pain syndrome at night…
And fatigue from the cardiac thing in the day and I’m a mess. It’s been going on for years but much worse lately.
I do the cold water thing. I actually have been advised by pelvic physio to stand in it up to my neck and have started doing so for 2 minutes at a time so far. I feel better after it and it doesn’t at least trigger the AT.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. 🙂

Coughing, sneezing and bearing down as if having a bowel movement or baby also helps to slow heartbeat.
