First you need to have your "tachycardia" diagnosed by a cardiologist. It could be something serious. If all checks out, try avoiding any cardiac stimulants ie: caffeine, stress, smoking, some OTC decongestants and herbal supplements, "energy drinks (full of caffeine and sugar), and try to increase your exercise if okay'd by your physician.

Relaxation techniques and hypnosis are two ways to naturally slow a rapid heartbeat, BUT only to a point. A rapid heartbeat can originate from either the top chambers (atria) or the bottom chambers(ventricles) of your heart. If your heart beats too fast, you may have symptoms like dizziness, light-headedness, or palpitations...you may even pass out. If it is from the atria, it is a bit less concerning, but if it from the ventricles, it could be fatal. Either way, you should be talking to a doctor, particularly an Electrophysiologist, who specializes in the heart's conduction system. You may not want to hear this, but only medications and possibly a defibrillator ( a special type of pacemaker) can help if your heart is going too fast.

As for the heartbeat thing Im not sure if that is normal or not, I know that sometimes my heart will just start racing out of nowhere even im just sitting down but that has only happened once or twice. As for not feeling movement that is perfectly normal, I'm 22 weeks and still haven't really felt her and I know she is doing fine. If this is your first pregnancy you may not feel movement until your 20+ weeks along. Good luck and don't stress, I would have a talk to your doctor about your heart though Im not sure if that is normal or not.

You have some good answers already posted. I am wondering what you mean by "rapid heart rate". How fast is "rapid" and is it sudden (acute) or constant (chronic)?
First of all....see a physician. If your rapid heart rate comes on suddenly and it is really fast with symptoms, try coughing or bearing down like you would if you were having a bowel movement. Doesn't work? Get to a hospital, you need medical intervention....PRONTO!
If you have a chronic rapid heart rate (over 100BPM) try the suggestions stated above. You need to be seen by a physician and you may need medication to slow it down. A good physical work-up is needed to determine the cause.

If your heartbeat is abnormally rapid, you should see a doctor to make sure it's not serious. Tachycardia can be a serious problem.
In general, exercise lowers your heartrate. You should also avoid things that increase your heartrate, such as caffeine, certain medications including decongestants, and excess alcohol.

Cut all caffiene out of your diet. Eat in small amounts 6 meals a day instead of 3. Stop smoking.

Exercise, build endurance. Athletes usually have a slow heart beat.

i dont think there really is a natural way, beta blockers are the drug they usually put you on and if there was a natural drug that actually worked well you would have similar side effects to the beta blocker
