Go to your doctor or pharmacist and obtain a 20ml syringe. When you suffer an attack loosen the plunger in the syringe by moving it up and down the barrel several times. Put your lips to the spout at the end of the syringe and, blowing as hard as you can blow the plunger fully to the end of the barrel. If your eyes do not pop out you will find that your heart rate has returned to normal. When this treatment was first given to me in A&E I found it hard to believe. Now I use it successfully with every attack.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I think other people have referred to it, but no-one described it in detail.

    We shall try it on my 8-year old grandchild, thank you very much Philip!

    [b:6d643b4f4a]Any other suggestions by anyone?[/b:6d643b4f4a]

    I wonder if blowing up a baloon would do the same thing?

    Astrid, I'm sorry to hear that your grandchild suffers from this condition at such a young age. I do not think that this method will be suitable as it requires a great deal of effort and will-power.
