Content
Cardiac neurosis leads to dysfunction of this organ and subsequently occurs strong emotional disorders.
This pathology requires complex treatment and close monitoring by a cardiologist.
Cardiac neurosis occurs as a result of stress, emotional shock. Any experience leads to an acceleration of the heartbeat. Sometimes this condition can develop into an attack. Such attacks turn into a disease called cardiac neurosis.
How the disease manifests itself
Symptoms of cardioneurosis are divided into two groups:
- psychological;
- somatic.
The first group includes:
- A strong feeling of anxiety, fear, anxiety.
- Sleep deprivation and loss of appetite.
- Increased excitability, irritability.
- Fear for your life and the lives of loved ones.
Somatic neurosis of the heart is manifested by the following symptoms:
- Severe pain in the region of the heart. They can be blunt, stabbing or compressive.
- Tachycardia. The palpitation increases with the slightest exertion. Any excitement or physical activity (even the smallest) can lead to tachycardia. In some patients, this condition does not go away.
- Chills or flushes of heat.
- Dizziness and shortness of breath.
- Severe sweating, increased pressure, feeling of lack of air.
Many patients do not complete the diagnosis and do not start treatment on time. This can have serious consequences.
Diagnosis and treatment of the disease
Cardiac neurosis must begin to be treated after the cause of its occurrence is determined. If it is not eliminated, then the treatment will be meaningless.
Getting rid of neurosis is quite difficult.
Problems arise from the attitude of the patient himself to the disease. Many consider this condition a mental disorder, do not treat it and try to hide it from others. This attitude towards one's health can have serious consequences.
Some symptoms of heart neurosis are helped by a psychotherapist. A simple conversation with an understanding and qualified doctor helps to get rid of the disease.
Treatment of the disease must begin in the early stages. Although pathology is not fatal, it can significantly impair a person's quality of life.
Particular attention should be paid to the manifestations of neurosis in children, since an unformed personality can undergo negative changes.
It is difficult to choose drug treatment, since medicines do not always help cure heart neurosis. Therapy of the disease depends on what the patient's symptoms are.
First of all, treatment is aimed at normalizing the psychological state of the patient:
- The doctor calms the patient, conducts a conversation with him, listens. For some people, in order to get rid of the disease, it is enough to speak out.
- A plan is drawn up to normalize the regime of the day. It is necessary to establish nutrition, rest and work in moderation.
- Drug treatment is prescribed based on the patient's complaints. Most often, these are herbal preparations, many prefer to treat neurosis with folk remedies.
In some specialized clinics there are special departments for patients with neurosis. They treat patients who often experience panic attacks.
To reduce the manifestations of neurosis, patients are prescribed:
- Light antidepressants.
- If the neurosis is accompanied by tachycardia and high blood pressure, beta-blockers are needed.
- If the patient suffers from insomnia, then a light sleeping pill is prescribed. But you can’t take it for more than a few weeks, as the body quickly gets used to them.
- Physiotherapy procedures. For example, electrophoresis or (with high excitability) Charcot's douche.
- Treatment may include auto-training or breathing exercises.
- It will be useful for patients to visit sanatoriums, to change the situation.
