Why does my heart beat so uncontrollably when I am anxious and how can I check it?

Name: Dev Date of Birth: 6 May 1992 Place of Birth: Ahmedabad Time: 11:45 AM. My heart beats so rapidly during the anxiety attacks that I feel as if I'm going to pass out. It's the most frightening aspect of the entire process. I've attempted deep breathing and reclining, but occasionally it just makes me more conscious of the thudding. I wish to understand what effectively reduces the heart rate during panic. Is there a physical trick or mental shift that can help me regain control quickly? I’m also curious if this reaction is linked to my birth chart. My moon is in Aries and I’ve been told that fire signs react more intensely to stress.

Namaste, Dev. Born in Ahmedabad with the Moon in Aries, you are indeed a "Fire" soul. Aries is ruled by Mars (blood/heart). Fire signs don't just "feel" stress; they "ignite" with it. Your rapid heart rate is Mars trying to push you into action. Deep breathing often fails because Aries hates "slowing down"—it feels like stagnation. The Cause: A "Mars-Surge" in the circulatory system. Remedy & Solution:The "Cold Diver" Trick: Submerge your hands in ice water. This diverts the blood flow from the core to the extremities, slowing the heart. ● Left Nostril Breathing (Chandra Bhedana): Close your right nostril and breathe only through the left. This activates the "Lunar/Cooling" side of your system, pacifying the Aries fire. ● Mantra: Chant "Om Angarkaya Namah" to pacify Mars and stabilize the heart.
