Treatment of extrasystole of the heart folk remedies

The use of traditional medicine is an excellent way to treat extrasystoles, reducing the number of premature contractions and suppressing accompanying symptoms.

How to recognize the disease?

Extrasystoles do not always have an obvious clinical picture. Her symptoms depend on the characteristics of the body and its general condition. In most people, this kind of arrhythmia does not manifest itself, it does not cause pain or discomfort and, as a rule, is an accidental finding in the conduct of prophylactic electrocardiography. However, there are patients who tolerate arrhythmia very badly.

Usually, extrasystole manifests itself in one of the following ways:

• Strong heartbeat;
• Feeling as if the heart stops for a while;
• Feeling of a short-term cardiac arrest, accompanied by a strong blow to the chest;
• Violation of the pulse.

Extrasystolia may be accompanied by:

• Pain in the chest;
• Pale skin;
• Anxiety;
• Shortness of breath;
• Excessive sweating;
• Sharp sensation of heat;
• Fatigue.

In fact, all of the above symptoms are nonspecific and can be observed with a number of other diseases, sometimes even not associated with the pathology of the cardiovascular system. A reliable method for recording the extrasystole is the ECG, but even this method does not allow a complete assessment of the extent of the disease, since it only covers a short period of time. In such cases, the doctor directs the patient to conduct Holter 24-hour monitoring, through which it is possible to record and analyze the electromechanical processes taking place in the myocardium during the day.

Nuances of treatment

In many cases, when there is an extrasystole specific therapeutic measures are not required, since its nature falls within the criteria of the norm and does not cause a violation of hemodynamics. If less than 1,000 extrasystoles were recorded after Holter monitoring, the patient does not need treatment, but he is advised to undergo a preventive checkup once a year.

Specific antiarrhythmic treatment is required for patients who have more than 1000 episodes of premature cardiac contraction. In such situations, serious pharmacological therapy is required, which will restore the heart rate and avoid deterioration of hemodynamic parameters.

Means of people's treatment is recommended to appoint in non-dangerous forms of the disease, not accompanied by a decrease in the quality of life and worsen the overall well-being of the patient. In case of a dangerous type of extrasystole, the means of alternative medicine can also be used, but only in combination with the treatment prescribed by the doctor.

Treatment of extrasystoles at home

The severity and frequency of extrasystoles can be successfully reduced at home. Treatment with folk methods is recommended for patients suffering from this pathology. It should be understood that assistance of this kind should be of an auxiliary nature and not be carried out at the expense of the drug or any other basic therapy.

Conclusion

In most cases, extrasystoles are detected accidentally on the ECG and are absolutely harmless. To prevent this kind of rhythm disturbance from growing into something more, patients are recommended folk remedies. A number of medicinal plants, as well as decoctions cooked on their basis, are able to eliminate or reduce the intensity of extraordinary cardiac contractions. Whatever it was, it must be remembered that alternative medicine should go only in addition to the basic methods of treatment and only with the permission of the doctor. Do not neglect the advice of a specialist for heart problems, because in the future this can have negative consequences for the patient.
