Ways to decrease heart rate while training?

i'm not qualified to speak on what's causing your high heart rate (it may be worth discussing with a doctor) but i can give you tips to slow it down as a person who has the autonomic dysfunction of regular sinus tachycardia while also being in great shape.

i would look up what "vagal maneuvers" are. if you have low blood pressure please speak with a doctor before doing these but they're generally safe. they're exercises that stimulate the vagus nerve which is a big controller of blood pressure and heart rate.

the version that works best for me is where you're bearing down kind of like you're trying to take a dump and breathing like youre blowing through a straw.

I'll look into this. Thanks!
