Question: Why does deep breathing help with arrhythmias?
Answer: Because when you exhale, the pulse decreases, and when you inhale, it quickens. This is a normal mechanism. If you take a deep breath in advance, and then exhale slowly and measure the pulse at the same time, the pulse will decrease. This trick is done during exercise testing. Testing must be completed at a specific heart rate. If after the test a fast pulse persists for a long time, then the patient is offered to exhale slowly. The pulse decreases. This case is recorded and the test is solemnly completed. Everyone is happy. Does it help with arrhythmia? This is actually arrhythmia. Respiratory arrhythmia. It's just that someone uses the part of the respiratory arrhythmia that is advantageous to him at the moment.
