Q Is there a way to calm myself down when symptoms are severe? Please tell me something I can do at home.
A Slow, deep abdominal breathing with a long exhale helps calm an excited sympathetic nerve, reducing palpitations and anxiety. Regular sleep, light aerobic exercise, and relaxation habits are also fundamental to stabilizing the autonomic nervous system.
Detailed Answer
Relaxation and a regular lifestyle are key to managing autonomic symptoms. Slow abdominal breathing -- inhaling gently and exhaling for longer -- activates the parasympathetic nerve, calming palpitations and anxiety. Adding sleep at the same time each day, light aerobic exercise a few times a week, and relaxation such as meditation or stretching stabilizes regulatory function. It's also good to avoid sudden temperature changes and overwork.
