It happens that on the eve of some important and significant events the heart starts to beat anxiously and rapidly. This is normal! The main thing is that after moments of excitement, even heartbeat is restored. If your heart is beating wildly or freezing over and without reason, it is worth seriously thinking about, otherwise it will end badly. There are several types of arrhythmia. Some are safe and can be found even in healthy people, but there are also life-threatening ones among them.
If in a familiar environment you suddenly feel weakness, dizziness, pain or pressure in the chest, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, pre-stupor, do not test fate. This is not the case when self-medication is appropriate. Trust a cardiologist. He will give directions to the electrocardiogram (EGC), the data of which will allow to determine the type of disease.
Monitoring.
In some cases, for a more detailed explanation of the cause of the ailment, doctors appoint daily Holter monitoring (for 24 hours they put on the device an instrument that records ECG indicators).
Treatment of arrhythmia depends on the type, severity and degree of threat to life. In a number of cases, strictly according to the indications, the doctor selects antiarrhythmic drugs.
Find the source.
If the medications are ineffective, surgical intervention is recommended. One of the radical ways to treat arrhythmia is radiofrequency ablation. During the operation, through a tiny puncture in the vessel in the heart, a special catheter (tube) is inserted, which, to within a millimeter, determines the source of the arrhythmia. Then another, therapeutic, catheter is introduced in the same way, which destroys (cauterizes) the "naughty" zone with radio-frequency current. As a result of the procedure, the work of the heart is normalized. With the help of this operation, many types of arrhythmia can be cured, but it is not recommended by all.
The force of habit.
Do not shift all responsibility for your health to tablets and modern techniques. Adhering to a healthy lifestyle, you can adjust your heart rate yourself. There are dangerous provocators of arrhythmia, which can be easily eliminated. First of all, from alcohol smoking and frequent coffee drinking. It is these addictive habits that, more often than others, cause irregular heartbeat. In reality, this insidious arrhythmia is not a reason to give up physical activity. But the main thing is - without extreme! In this case, moderate loads are very useful.
You can prefer yoga, swimming, Pilates and walking. Do not forget about proper nutrition. Often, the symptoms of arrhythmia disappear after a long and proper rest. Think about how to bring a relaxation vacation period into your daily life. Try to make sure that all twelve months of the year, and not just one, which you spent resting, leaving all the worries and worries behind your back.
Raisins and dried apricots.
And do you know why vegetarians have a much better heart than ordinary people? Yes, because the muscles of the heart are very fond of vegetables and fruits (especially potassium-rich dried apricots, raisins, bananas, baked potatoes). If these foods are suitable for you, introduce them into the daily diet. In addition, dried fruits improve the skin condition and overall well-being.
You should be very careful when treating herbal medicine. Without the advice of a doctor there is no way to do: someone will help hawthorn, and someone else root valerian. And that the heart was easier, avoid stress, do not dramatize what is happening and do not start over trifles. You have one heart.
