Brief Answer:
Breathing technique
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Breathing techniques of yoga e.g Sudarshan Kriya are scientifically proven to control various anxieties. You can go for a short course and see the results for yourself.
I need the complete lipid profile to see other cholesterols like ldl. Mostly to get cholesterol in normal range, we need to avoid fatty foods like ghee, butter, cream, cookies, cakes, pastries, sweets, etc. Regular exercise of 30 min a day also helpful. Decision about whether to take medicine or not, depends on LDL and triglycerides.
Palpitations can be related to anxieties, medicines or heart issues. You can do an ECG to rule out heart problems.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
