I was doing some reading about the condition that causes my palpitations: supraventricular tachycardia. I found this site from the American Heart Association. My favorite part is in the "what can I do" section at the end. In order to stop palpitations, it says this: "For instance, your physician may instruct you to perform the Valsalva maneuver to try to stop the SVT yourself if you do not have lightheadedness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or other severe symptoms. To do this maneuver, first lie down, take a deep breath and hold it, and then bear down as if you are having a bowel movement."
So what happens if I'm on a run? Should I lie down in the woods? What if I poop myself? I'm going to try it and report back...

If you shit in the woods, and noone is there to see it, did it ever really happen ;-).
Your ticker scares me mate, promise you're alright?
