Man gives neat tip to stop anxiety related heart palpitations and it’s easy to do

Anxiety is weird. Not weird in a funny way but more like weird in a terrifying ‘am I dying or am I just having an anxiety attack‘ kind of way. Our brains are powerful things and can make our bodies have physiological responses to stress, anxiety and depression. One of those annoyingly terrifying symptoms are heart palpitations which can feel like your heart is beating too fast, skipping a beat or rolling around in your chest.

When our hearts do something funky that make us acutely aware of its existence, the immediate thought is usually you’re having a heart attack. Which can lead to more anxiety, thus more heart flip flops. It becomes a vicious cycle until you either get it checked out or it stops on its own because your brain decides to do you a solid and let you forget your heart was being weird five minutes ago.

Crowd at music festival helps singer complete song after he loses voice in beautiful show of human spirit

It was an emotional moment when festivalgoers helped a struggling Lewis Capaldi end his set after he lost his voice on stage. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter from Scotland has been diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary vocal or motor tics. His fans helped him finish his performance by singing his emotional, vocal-heavy piano ballad hit Someone you loved while he was on the festival’s Pyramid Stage on Saturday night.

According to Sky News, the musician admitted he was having issues during the performance. “I’m going to be honest everybody, but I’m starting to lose my voice up here, but we’re going to keep going and we’re going to go until the end. I just need you all to sing with me as loud as you can if that’s OK?” he said. And boy, did his fans deliver.

When Don Burckhardt donated blood at a Crews Subaru blood drive in Charleston, South Carolina, he had no idea his own life would be saved by it. “Because of these blood drives that Crews Subaru is hosting, my cancer was caught at the very early stages,” says Burckhardt.
