Is it possible to just relax hard enough to die?

I have been reliably informed that this is in fact bradycardia and you can actually relax yourself to death.

@kline Yes it is possible, but it really only happens to highly specialized sportsmen like marathon runners. I heard an instance of someone who got his heartbeat so low that he had risked cardiac arrest every time he slept. He had to wake up every while and get it up to speed.

@kline@mastodon.sdf.org it's ok, if you're relatively sporty 42 shouldn't be super abnormal.... right?

@kline Heart rate where you can understand life, universe, … ?
