Q: Most people experience short episodes of tachycardia on rare occasions due to high levels of stress, a sudden fright or an anxiety attack. If this sounds like the cause of your "racing" heart, then stop what you're doing and rest for five to 10 minutes. Maybe that means turning off a scary movie or removing yourself from a stressful situation (argument) or taking your mind off of a financial problem. Resting, relaxing and taking deep breaths can naturally lower your heart rate. Normal resting heart rate can vary quite a bit amongst people, but it's defined as between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Greater than 100 beats, while at rest, is the threshold for defining tachycardia. Tachycardia doesn't always cause symptoms, but when it does the main one is feeling a racing heart or palpitations in your chest. Other symptoms are possible and can include: shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting and chest pain. Since stress and anxiety are relatively common triggers for tachycardia and hyperventilation, you can help prevent them by managing how you react or respond to stressful situations. Stress-relieving techniques like yoga, tai chi, deep breathing, visualization and meditation are all helpful for promoting relaxation and better emotional health. Ask at your local gym, community center or health clinic about joining a stress-relieving class. Try to limit the stress in your life by making positive changes get out of an abusive relationship, change your job, spend less time with negative people. Control anxious thoughts about your work, finances and relationships. Excessive stress and anxiety causes the release of hormones that prepare your body for "fight or flight", which leads to increased heart and breathing rates. Don't forget to get enough quality sleep at least eight hours per night, although some people need up to 11 hours for best health. A chronic lack of sleep can lead to anxiety and heart palpitations. Vagal maneuvers are simple actions that you can do with your body that affect the vagus nerve, which is the main one regulating your heartbeat. Maneuvers that affect the vagus nerve include doing the Valsalva technique, triggering the diving reflex, and repeatedly coughing. These simple maneuvers should be done as soon as you realize you're experiencing an episode of tachycardia they can slow your heart rate down within seconds if done correctly. Ask your doctor for a demonstration of these maneuvers. The Valsalva maneuver involves holding your breath and bearing down as if you're having a bowel movement for about 1015 seconds. It's a simple procedure, but it can change the rhythm of electrical impulses in your heart and help your heart rate return to normal. All people have a diving reflex, which gets activated when plunged into cold water the body automatically slows its heart rate down to reduce blood flow in an attempt to preserve itself. To trigger this reflex, put very cold water or an ice pack against your face for at least 30 seconds. You can also try coughing forcefully.
A: Stop and rest for a few minutes. Try some relaxation techniques. Use a vagal maneuver.

Q: You should always have a first aid kit in your home, and you should always have one in each car you own. Some cars come with their own first aid kit, but it should be checked and supplemented so it is complete. A travel kit should be similar to the home version, but to make it ready for the road, consider adding items such as: a flashlight with batteries; waterproof matches; a solar/crank charger for phones; sunscreen, insect repellant; a whistle; phone numbers for your physician, poison control, etc.; and medical consent and history forms for each family member. Make your car kit accessible as well; don't bury it in the spare tire well under your trunk floor. See also How To Pack a First Aid Kit for Your Car for more ideas. See How to Make a First Aid Kit for Camping for more ideas. A camping kit will be similar to a car kit, but be extra sure to have a good pair of scissors; waterproof matches; a space blanket; duct tape; a solar/crank phone charger; and a whistle. Include water purification tablets as well, to protect yourself should you need to drink from a body of water. It's nice to have a sizable kit with a bit of everything, but a smaller, easily portable kit can be with you nearly all the time. For help in maximizing your first aid kit while minimizing its size, see How to Make a Compact First Aid Kit. One commercially-available purse kit winnows down the contents to one ointment packet, three cleansing wipes, two gauze pads, and 10 bandages. Adding small amounts of your most commonly-used medications to a small zip-close bag would make for a solid first aid kit that should fit nicely in a purse, diaper bag, backpack, etc. If anyone in your family has special medical needs, prepare travel kits that are clearly marked and specifically designed to treat his or her needs. An allergy emergency kit is probably the most common example. Visit How to Create an Allergy Emergency Kit for more information. For such a kit, use a small, durable, water-resistant container, clearly marked with "ALLERGY EMERGENCY KIT" along with the person's name. Work with your doctor to determine what medications should be included. Antihistamines (such as Benadryl), Prednisone, and/or epi-pens are the most likely inclusions. Include two or more doses of any medications, in case of a delay in medical intervention. On a durable, possibly laminated, piece of paper or notecard, clearly write/print out all instructions for how and when to use the medications. Also include the physician's phone number and any important patient information (any additional allergies, for instance).
A: Always have a car/travel kit. Create a camping kit if you're heading outdoors. Pack a purse/compact first aid kit. Set up special kits as needed.

Q: In two separate microwave-safe bowls melt the white chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips in the microwave for about 2 to 3 minutes each in 30 second bursts, and stir the mix regularly. Pour the melted chips into separate small plastic bags. Let the melted chocolate fall to one side of the plastic bag, and cut a small hole in the opposite, empty corner with scissors. Don't cut the corner with lots of chocolate or you may accidentally lose some of the melted chocolate. If your spoons are a gift for somebody else, find out what kind of hot drinks they like and include a drink mix with your spoons. You can put them all into a little straw basket, or if you include a large mug with the spoons, you can place the spoons and drink mix in the mug itself as a self-contained gift. Wrap the whole gift with a red or green ribbon, and voila the perfect gift for the coffee or hot cocoa lover in your life.
A:
Melt white and milk chocolate to drizzle over the spoons with a plastic bag. Cut a small hole in one corner of each plastic bag. Pair your spoons with drink mixes and mugs for the perfect holiday gift.
