Hack Your Nervous System with this Exercise

The Modified Valsalva Maneuver is often used in emergency medicine to treat patients with tachycardia. It increases intrathoracic and intra-abdominal pressure at first but then has a dramatic and predictable calming effect that stimulates your vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system response.

Step 1: Inhale deeply, close your mouth and nose, pretend to exhale and press the air outward for 15 seconds

Step 2: Exhale, elevate your legs to 45 degrees, and relax

Does this help shopping psychomotor agitation?

Sorry, I don't understand the first part. Are you just holding your breath, or are you doing the valsalva thing of blowing out while keeping the nose closed, like when we try to clear the eustacion tubes? And can I assume this would be good for a afib episode?

[christinehart]

Any suggestions if we can't lay down?
