Treatment of arrhythmia with physical activity and breathing exercises

Treatment of arrhythmia with physical exercises, control over the breathing process is based on the body's ability to adjust heart rhythm disturbances in a natural way. If traditional medicine is based on drug therapy, then the main aspect of Eastern medicine is to control your body. Movement is life in any disease. Properly calculated physical activity will help not only cure the disease, but also prevent its occurrence. Specialists have developed whole methods of approach to physical and respiratory procedures in case of heart rhythm failures. Stretching exercises for arrhythmias are essential for effective treatment.

Organization of physiotherapy exercises

• transferred myocardial infarction;
• angina at rest;
• cardiac ischemia;
• aneurysm, detachment of the aorta;
• disruption of the endocrine system;
• hypertension, starting from the 2nd stage and above;
• thrombophlebitis of the extremities;
• heart, liver and kidney failure;
• congenital and acquired heart defects.

Therapeutic physical culture (exercise therapy) in case of a disease is prescribed after examination by a cardiologist, calculation of an individual physical load by passing a load cardiogram. A positive result is achieved by gradually increasing the number of exercises under medical supervision.

1. Physical and breathing exercises should be performed with a sufficient amount of fresh air, which contributes to the saturation of the heart muscle with oxygen and stabilization of work.
2. Control breathing, which should be calm and even. The organization of proper breathing in case of cardiac arrhythmia will relieve shortness of breath and heart rhythm disturbances.
3. Do exercise therapy in the morning or in the morning. It is strictly forbidden to exercise in the period later than 2 hours before a night's rest.
4. After class, it is not recommended to eat for an hour to avoid stress on the gastrointestinal tract and cardiac activity.
5. The basis should be gymnastic exercises, swimming, cycling. The exercise bike will allow you to control the level of stress on the heart and blood vessels.

It is forbidden to increase the number of exercises on your own. The increase should take place under the supervision of a physician and be gradual in nature. The treatment process is not instantaneous, it can take several months or years.

A set of physical exercises

To invigorate the body and spirit, doctors recommend that patients meet every day with morning exercises, which must be started while lying in bed to ensure a smooth transition and prevent sudden shocks when the body enters the sleep phase into wakefulness. To begin with, you should wave your arms of small amplitude, then go to the neck muscles, after which the preparatory stage ends. For the convenience of patients, specialists have developed a lot of video exercises for cardiac arrhythmias.

morning exercises

Patients with the disease require smoothness in the transition from one exercise to the next, which will ensure a stable heart rate. A sharp rise from the bed is not allowed, it is important to carry out a series of exercises while sitting on a chair.

1. Slowly walk around the room, listening to the work of the heart. If the heart rate is normal, then you need to walk at a slow pace for about five minutes.
2. Stand up, raise your hands up, while taking a deep breath, and then slowly lower in the process of exhalation. Repeat the exercise gradually up to 15 times.
3. In a standing position, spread your arms in different directions. The bottom line is to turn the body from one side to the other with a simultaneous increase in amplitude. At the same time, limit the number of turns until the pulse increases.
4. Put your hands on the belt with the legs in the same position and tilt the body alternately in different directions. The number of exercises is recommended to be gradually increased up to 30-40 times.
5. Stretch your arms forward and rotate alternately clockwise and counterclockwise. In different directions, carry out the procedure at least 20 times.

nordic walking

In case of diseases of the cardiovascular system, useful walks in the fresh air are recommended by experts to be replaced by Nordic walking, the difference of which lies in the obligatory attribute - ski poles specially made of light metal.

• uniform distribution of the load on the patient's muscular apparatus;
• avoidance of overload on the spine and lower limbs;
• the possibility of selecting an individual size of sticks, for which the patient's height is multiplied by a factor of 0.66;
• physical lightness of sticks and high depreciation.

Nordic walking is a "younger type" of physical therapy, the use of which should be carried out under the guidance of a specially trained trainer. A pulse oximeter must be used to monitor the heart rate.

A set of breathing exercises

Respiratory gymnastics in case of cardiac arrhythmia contributes to the normalization of the autonomic system, an increase in the flow of oxygen-rich blood into the main artery of the body - the aorta. With the help of breathing exercises, it is possible to speed up or slow down the heart rate by accelerating or slowing down breathing, which is essential for tachycardia and bradycardia.

Strelnikova's technique

Respiratory procedures, according to the author's research, are required to be carried out 2 times daily, preferably in the morning and evening. The duration of gymnastics must be gradually increased from several minutes to half an hour.

1. The beginning of gymnastics - inhales while walking in place from the calculation: there should be a breath per step.
2. The starting position is to stand up, while the arms should be in the lowered state. Make loud breaths and quick exhalations, while inhaling, squeeze the hands into fists with effort, while exhaling - freely unclench. At least carry out the procedure six times with time intervals of 30 seconds.
3. Put your feet shoulder-width apart, place your hands along the body. When inhaling, extend the arms, tilt the body forward, while exhaling, take the original position. Repeat 15 times at intervals of five seconds.
4. Breathe alternately with one nostril, covering the other with the corresponding hand. At the same time, inhale and exhale with different nostrils while sitting on a chair.
5. Slowly and gradually draw full lungs with air, hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale smoothly.

The technique has become widespread due to the positive dynamics of the impact on atrial fibrillation, which is important in the fight against atrial fibrillation, the most common disease with heart rhythm disturbances.

Buteyko technique

This gymnastics is based on the formation of shallow breathing. The patient takes a breath through the nose in the absence of activity of the chest and the immobility of the abdominal muscles. The duration of the lesson is 15-20 minutes.

1. Starting position - sitting on a chair with a completely relaxed diaphragm.
2. Within two seconds, a breath is taken through the nose until it reaches the trachea.
3. Exhalation is longer than inhalation and is about three seconds.
4. Pauses of 4-5 seconds should be made between respiratory movements.

In the treatment of arrhythmias, it is effective to follow an integrated approach, including physical and respiratory gymnastics, daily walks in the fresh air, giving up bad habits, and dieting. Fulfillment of all medical recommendations is the path to healing.
