I think I'd start looking for vaccum leaks. New cars are much more reliant on strong vaccum than old clunkers. When you punch the brake pedal, the vaccum powered brake booster can steal needed vaccum from other systems in the car (i.e. fuel delivery or vaccum advance type ignition). In some old caddilacs a small vaccum leak can cause the flapper valves in the climate control system to go all nutty.

With the engine running, spray a mist of lps1 on suspect vaccum lines. Where there is a vaccum leak the liquid will dry rapidly off of the hose. Alternately you can flex some hoses around and listen for sucking sounds when you move them. Replace all leaky or cracked hoses.

Can slowing your heart rate reduce pain?

no. Unless it's heart pain --a condition called angina pectoris which is caused by blocked arteries in the heart. Slowing the heart in that situation causes the heart to need less oxygen and have less frequent and severe angina. Beta blocker drugs do this. But slowing your heart won't help your back pain, kidney stone pain, etc.
