Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

In case of palpitations , panic attack or tachycardia, beta blocker drugs like propranolol can be advised to help with slowing down the heart rate. These drugs should be taken only after consulting a physician. Temporarily stopping the heart from pumping should strictly be avoided and there is no condition or drug indicated for this purpose.

Wishing you best of health
