    How to relieve an attack of extrasystole with the help of folk remedies



    Extrasystole is a violation (both towards decrease and increase) of the rhythm of contraction of the heart muscle or any part of it. In this case, the nervous system is too excited. The patient feels a strong blow in the chest and a sharp fading of the heartbeat. Then the rhythm is restored. Often a person comes into a panic, is afraid of dying. Often this happens with vegetovascular dystonia.

    Classification

    Heart

    Failures in the work of the myocardium are not a fatal disease if there is no organic damage to the muscle. The norm is considered to be up to two hundred attacks of untimely heartbeats per day due to excitement, worries, alcohol intake.

    Arrhythmia classification:
    1. Organic extrasystole. It occurs due to high physical activity (more often in people over fifty years old). If this type of arrhythmia manifests itself in a calm state, then this may be a sign of previously unidentified diseases. If a person is relatively healthy, he does not notice the symptoms of the disease.
    2. Functional extrasystole. It is more common in fairly young people and even in children. It occurs due to psychological and emotional overload, nervous disorders, vegetovascular dystonia. It often manifests itself in a calm state, before or after sleep, during physical exertion.
    There are two forms of arrhythmia: ventricular and supraventricular.
    • ventricular proceeds without disturbances in the structure of the myocardium and without clear signs, there is no need for medication;
    • supraventricular - is one of the most difficult, but it most often does not cause a malfunction of the normal functioning of the heart muscle, does not threaten life and does not necessitate special treatment.

    You can also highlight emotional extrasystole (arrhythmia due to violent emotions). But whether this type of disease is considered a moot point.

    Signs and causes of extrasystole

    When the disease occurs, the rhythm of the heart fails. It increases or decreases.

    The girl is in anxiety Symptoms:

    1. After stress, slight excitement, and sometimes for no reason, the heart rhythm is disturbed.
    2. Panic, fear, with which a person is unable to cope.
    3. A state of anxiety (for no reason), a premonition of something bad. Uncontrollable behavior (attacks of irritability, anger).
    4. Lethargy, fatigue.
    5. Violation of sudden sleep.
    6. Failures in the heartbeat (missing one or more beats).
    7. Not enough air, hard to breathe.
    8. The person is shivering or hot.
    9. Dizziness, fainting.

    Extrasystole, if the heart is healthy, often does not need serious treatment, because they are the result of a functional disorder. It is enough to take light sedatives. Comprehensive treatment is necessary for diseases of the cardiac system.

    Extrasystole occurs due to stress, regular psycho-emotional stress, overwork.

    Causes of the disease:
    • violations of the regime of proper nutrition, the use of drinks containing caffeine, black tea;
    • alcoholism, drug use, smoking;
    • excessive physical loads;
    • violation of the regime of the day, insufficient sleep time;
    • infectious diseases;
    • overheating in the sun;
    • excess weight;
    • menopause, premenstrual syndrome.
    A cardiologist and a neurologist will help to more accurately find out the causes of extrasystole after a series of studies: interviewing the patient, ultrasound of the heart, cardiogram. Survey data and measurements are safe and short in time.

    Prevention and treatment

    The girl is sleeping If studies have shown that the heart is healthy, and extrasystole is the result of a functional disorder, and not of an organic nature, then you need to normalize your mental and emotional state.

    To do this, you need to take the following measures:
    1. Avoid overwork.
    2. Rest the right amount of time.
    3. Get at least eight hours of sleep at night (fall asleep no later than ten in the evening).
    4. Do breathing exercises.
    5. Get out in nature more often.
    6. Carry out physiotherapy.
    7. Allow yourself a trip to the resort, to the sanatorium.

    These simple measures restore the work of the heart.

    Do not be afraid and constantly wait for a failure in the rhythm of the heart. You need not think about the bad and live a normal life, then the disease will not overtake you .

    If the patient has had a stroke or has heart disease, for example, coronary disease, the doctor prescribes treatment with medicines belonging to the group of antiarrhythmic drugs. These drugs have many side effects. They should be taken strictly according to the doctor's recommendations and instructions. Often the disease occurs due to magnesium deficiency. If there is no need to take medication, teas, decoctions and tinctures from medicinal plants will help relieve an attack of extrasystole at home.

    These include:
    • valerian;
    • motherwort;
    • mint, lemon balm;
    • peony;
    • Linden;
    • chamomile;
    • lavender;
    • fruits and flowers of hawthorn and more.

    These plants have a stable sedative effect. Side effects when taking them occur very rarely and only in case of individual intolerance.

    Fish oil, evening primrose oil or borage oil are also useful in the treatment of arrhythmias. Some doctors believe that to reduce the risk of acute attacks of arrhythmia, marine fish should be added to the diet twice a week. It is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.

    Positive reviews are also given about the benefits of manganese, as well as taurine and carnitine.
