How safe and effective would self-administration of a CSM be during an anxiety or panic attack in order to reduce heart rate?

Awesome presentation. I was in search of such a great video on sinus massage. Carotid massage is contraindicated in the patients with recently diagnosed ischemic stroke, carotid atheroma or having carotid bruit.

Potentially. If the patient is in AVNT then this would be first-line to try and correct the arrhythmia before moving on to therapeutic intervention.
