If your question is "Is there a medication that slows your heart rate?" then the answer is yes. There are several, but some of the most common are beta blockers (atenolol), benzodiazepines (Xanax), sedatives, and barbiturates, just to name a few. Caution should be exercised. If you take too much of any of these drugs your heart rate could slow down too much and cause permanent damage or even stop and result in death.

Can beta blockers increase heart rate?
Beta 2 is generally associated with smooth muscle relaxation (as in the bronchioles in the lungs) and dilation of blood vessels to skeletal muscles. Beta 1 is responsible for the increase in heart rate. Although beta 2 agonists like Albuterol are meant to trigger only the beta 2 in the lung, you may see a little cross reaction resulting in an increased heart rate. So, in a nut shell...no.

Why can't the heart take a little rest?
The heart muscle cannot deliberately slow itself down to a standstill stop. The heart is responsible for pumping oxygenised blood to all parts of the body, including the brain. The brain is where all processes are controlled. If its not working, you die! :-( However, if by rest you mean reducing the beats per minute it pumps then that is possible. It is possible for anyone to slow down their heart rate by sitting down, and relaxing. Those who participate in more physical activity have a lower heart rate, as they have expanded their heart, meaning it doesn't work as hard to perform normal bodily functions. See the related links section for some very useful information.
What affects you in drugs so much that kills you?
It depends entirely on what drug you take. CNS depressants (opiates, benzodiazepines etc) slow your breathing and heart rate down to the point where you die.Stimulants (amphetamines, cocaine etc) can increase your heart rate to the point where you can have a cardiac episode.This all depends on the dose, that's why it's called an overdose.

How do you bear down as if in a bowel movement to calm heart rate?
I suffer from rapid heart rate. I can be sitting and my heart goes from 69 bpm to 150 bpm while resting. The Emergency Room Doctors said to me when I was over 189 bpm "bare down as if you were having a bowel movement" and it does work most of the time. If you have a rapid heartbeat for over an hour get to the ER. However, never take medical advice from anyone other than your own Physician.
