How to treat tachycardia at home with folk remedies

Basic information

Tachycardia is the accelerated work of the heart muscle, which manifests itself in frequent contractions (more than 90 per minute). This condition can be due to various reasons. Often, even healthy people feel their heart beats very often, and this is normal. The body cannot always work in one mode. He adapts, reacts to the situation, speeding up or slowing down his rhythm as needed.

For example, in a state of increased load, the body needs to get more nutrition and oxygen, frequent contractions of the main "pump" for pumping blood allows you to do this. When a person sleeps, he is healthy, all organs are resting and do not experience an acute need for large portions of oxygen and nutrients. At this time, the heart can also allow itself a little rest - it works in a calm, sometimes even slightly slowed down mode.

Natural causes are caused by a short-term slowdown and acceleration of the heart rate during breathing. In many people, at the time of inhalation, a decrease in heart rate is observed, and on exhalation, the heartbeats become frequent. A cup of strong coffee stimulates the nervous system and triggers an accelerated heart rate mechanism. Emotions, too, are often the catalyst for violent heart activity, be it intense anger or excessive delight.

In addition to natural physiological reasons, the accelerated heart rate is also caused by dangerous pathological conditions, among which not the last place belongs to diseases of the cardiovascular system. Treatment of tachycardia at home with folk remedies, along with a medication approach, in this situation will be very appropriate.

Cardiac tachycardia can be short-lived and mild. In this case, there is no need to treat it, usually the rhythm will normalize by itself.

But if the attack dragged on, and he brought with him other alarming symptoms, you will have to urgently take first aid measures. Constant monitoring and long-term, thorough treatment will be needed if cardiac excitement is repeated regularly and for no apparent reason.

It is worth considering in more detail a number of symptoms that signal the need to visit a doctor. Everyone should be aware of what to do if danger signs occur.

Symptoms and danger signs

Alarming symptoms arising from tachycardia:

• strong, bordering on fainting, weakness;
• dizziness, dark veil before the eyes;

• an attack of nausea or vomiting;
• chest pain;
• increased anxiety, fear of dying.

Before treating tachycardia at home, you need to understand that this condition can be very dangerous. Therefore, a visit to a doctor should precede any unconventional methods of exposure.

If the heart beats at a high speed for a long time, its chambers do not have time to fully pump blood, therefore, the body does not receive enough oxygen, which is necessary for normal life.

To replenish the lack of blood volume, the heart begins to work even faster, imposing an unreasonable burden on itself, but the situation is only getting worse. Hypoxia begins. Another danger in this condition is the increased risk of blood clots.

The heart and brain tissue are the first to suffer. In such cases, ischemic disease of these organs or other dangerous conditions develops. For example, the development of heart failure, stroke, heart attack is possible, a sharp cessation of cardiac activity and death also occur.
