Meditation
I've heard that meditation can help to lower your heart rate since you are more relaxed. Would it help during your medical, for example, when doing the ECG? Has anyone tried this?

OK, OK, I'll read it next time!
May I suggest instead, Close your eyes and think of Ireland!
I couldn't help but post Queen Victoria's remark when I saw your post, but on a more serious note, yes, a policy of deliberately relaxing during an ECG will certainly help. I don't know a thing about meditation techniques etc., but NOT thinking about sex, the last letter you received that began with "Unless", etc., and thinking serene thoughts works for me.

Many years ago an old doctor in UK with whom I used to do my medicals told me that he recommended pilots with blood pressure problems to attend a course of transcendental meditation. I tried and found that it worked for me.

Just don't try one of those meditation techniques that puts you into a suspended animation state. You might get a 'flat line' ECG and wake up in a dark confined space!
