Heart rhythm disturbances are a group of cardiovascular diseases that doctors call the most common. Therefore, today we will talk about the factors that provoke such heart problems and ways to combat them. We will also get acquainted with the main treatment methods.
Why is the heart rhythm disrupted?
The normal heart rate is between 70-80 beats per minute at rest. It can increase with physical activity, various emotional experiences, exposure to medications, and alcohol.
A slowdown in heart rate is observed with general weakness, severe fatigue, in old age, in athletes or during sleep. In addition, various types of disorders can be caused by side effects of medications or diseases of internal organs (for example, pathologies of the nervous system).
Also, arrhythmias can occur due to cardiovascular diseases, among which the main role is played by:
- myocardial damage caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, inflammatory processes, injuries and other factors;
- lesions of the sinus node in the heart caused by congenital or acquired factors;
- tumors of the heart muscle;
- pericardial lesions. We are talking about pericarditis, adhesions, metastases and other problems;
- disturbed balance of electrolytes (deficiency of Mg, K, Ca and Na);
- catheterization, angiography, surgical interventions that irritate the heart.
In addition, the problem in question can also occur in completely healthy people. For example, the loss of one or more beats - in other words, extrasystole - happens to any person from time to time.
Such cardiac failures do not cause inconvenience and are not accompanied by a risk to life and health, unless they become permanent.
Means for normalizing blood circulation
Ventricular and atrial fibrillation leads to circulatory disorders, which is revealed by congestion in the vessels and further formation of blood clots. Therefore, for the purpose of prevention, therapy with folk remedies should include means that help restore normal blood flow.
Jasmine
Helps normalize blood flow in the pulmonary and systemic circulation, thereby improving nutrition of the heart muscle.
Jasmine has an antispasmodic effect
Healthy jasmine drink:
- 25 gr. jasmine flowers pour 200 ml of boiling water;
- exposure duration – 60 minutes;
- filter through a sieve or cheesecloth;
- drink 1 glass 3 times a day before meals.
Jasmine-based medicines have no contraindications for patients suffering from heart disease.
Hazel
The leaves and bark of young hazel shoots have vasodilating properties, which speeds up blood flow.
Preparation of the decoction:
- 20 gr. crushed bark, pour 100 ml of boiling water;
- leave for 20 minutes;
- take 1 tbsp. 3 times a day.
What is arrhythmia?
There are several types of the problem, each of which has its own characteristics and symptoms. Tachycardia is an increase in the number of heart contractions over 90 beats per minute. It can occur in various parts of the heart, therefore it is divided into ventricular and supraventricular.
Bradycardia is a decrease in heart rate below 60 beats. Pathology can occur with heart blockades, as well as weakness of the sinus node. Paroxysmal rhythm disturbance is a problem manifested by a sharp increase in heart rate up to 200 beats. At the same time, the person is outwardly healthy. A person’s condition at this moment can vary from mild weakness and general malaise to loss of consciousness. In most cases, the attack goes away on its own within a few minutes, but with severe paroxysms, emergency medical attention is required.
Extrasystole is a condition in which the normal rhythm of the heart is interrupted by a single premature contraction of the myocardium. Subjectively, it feels like a short interruption of the heart. Each person experiences an average of one and a half thousand extrasystoles per day. If they do not cause discomfort, treatment is not required.
Atrial fibrillation - with this disease, one of the phases of the normal heart rhythm disappears: atrial contraction. As a result, instead of a full contraction, the muscle fibers only twitch - flicker. Because of this, the functioning of the ventricles of the heart is disrupted: they begin to contract irregularly. In severe cases, atrial fibrillation can develop into atrial fibrillation, a condition that threatens a person’s life and requires immediate medical attention. Any disturbances in heart rhythm should not be ignored; if they appear, you should visit a cardiologist as soon as possible.
Exercises for prevention
The essence of exercises for arrhythmia is to train the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, which are closely related to each other. When performing aerobic gymnastics, it is important to strictly follow the pattern of movements and breathing. It is recommended to perform it alternating the starting position.
From a standing position.
- Raise your upper limbs up and interlock your fingers. Pull the toe of your right foot back and bend over (inhaling). Returning the leg to its original position and
straightening your torso, you need to exhale. - Raise your arms according to the principle described above, pull the toe of your right foot to the right, tilt your torso there (inhaling). Returning to the starting position, exhale.
- Cross your arms over your chest and throw them back (exhaling). Inhale, returning your hands to your chest.
- Place your hands on your belt and perform circular movements with your body.
- Spread your arms in different directions (inhale), and bend forward and touch your knees – exhale.
- Squat, placing your upper limbs forward (exhaling), and inhale, returning to the starting position.
- Walk in a circle on your toes, raising your knee as high as possible.
From a supine position.
- Inhaling, raise your arms up, and exhaling, spread them to the sides.
- Bend your lower limbs and, exhaling, lift them to your chest. Then you should straighten your legs (inhaling).
- Train your abs without arms. When rising, exhale, and when lying on your back, inhale air through your nose.
For anaerobic exercise to be highly effective, you need to devote at least half an hour to it every day. Each movement should be performed at least 5 times. The total frequency of swings of each leg separately should be at least 10 times. In this case, it is necessary to increase the number of bends, swings of arms and legs by 1 time each day.
Arrhythmia is one of a number of serious diseases that, if not treated in a timely manner, can negatively affect the patient’s health. In some cases, folk recipes will have an effect similar to pharmacological drugs, so sometimes they are prescribed by a doctor instead of medications. People who have not yet encountered this disease are advised not to treat arrhythmia, but to prevent it. You will need to drink tinctures according to the recipes described above and perform exercises that help train the muscle tissue of the heart. In this way, it is possible to prevent not only arrhythmia, but also other diseases of the cardiovascular and other systems.
How do arrhythmias manifest?
Different types of arrhythmias have their own manifestations. Only extrasystoles can be asymptomatic. With tachycardia, a person complains of rapid heartbeat, discomfort or chest pain, dizziness, sudden general weakness and fatigue, and shortness of breath. Also, with this pathology, blood pressure often decreases, which can cause a person to faint.
Some of these symptoms can also manifest themselves with bradycardia, in particular: dizziness, weakness, chest pain, fainting and fainting conditions. Also, with a decrease in the number of heart contractions, difficulty breathing, short-term visual disturbances, deterioration in concentration and memory, and episodes of confused thinking are observed. They arise due to the fact that the brain experiences oxygen starvation as a result of bradycardia.
The main sign of paroxysmal rhythm disturbance is a sharp deterioration in the condition. The duration of the attack is from two to three minutes to several days. During a paroxysm, a person feels a frequent and strong heartbeat, complains of general weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, sweating, nausea and flatulence.
Atrial fibrillation is accompanied by unreasonable fear (panic attack), and is also manifested by irregular heartbeat, intense sweating, shortness of breath, and severe general weakness. He even reaches the point of fainting. Different arrhythmias are similar in their symptoms. Therefore, making an accurate diagnosis is only possible in a medical institution.

Diagnosis of arrhythmias
Diagnostic techniques: general (history collection, examination) and specific (non-invasive and invasive) techniques. Non-invasive research methods include:
- ECG;
- ergometry (physical stress tests);
- surface ECG mapping;
- echocardiography;
- magnetic resonance imaging.
Invasive diagnostics is an electrophysiological study in which special sensors are inserted into the heart cavity, which record the frequency and regularity of contractions of different parts of the myocardium.
Recipes for a healthy heart. Hawthorn
Experts also recommend using hawthorn, garlic, propolis, onions, honey and lemon. All these natural components are available, and with basic skills, preparations from them are easy to prepare. Hawthorn is considered the most active plant component for the manufacture of medicines for almost all types of this pathology.
