I'm really concerned about my mom. She's got a heart rate that's sitting at 100 bpm. What can we do to bring it down to a normal range? Could you suggest any steps, actions, or medications that might help?

To lower her heart rate to a normal level, she can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. It is also important for her to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If these lifestyle changes do not help, she can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol to help lower her heart rate.
