Cardioneurosis is usually understood as the presence of symptoms such as tachycardia, pain in the heart, fatigue, irritability, insomnia.. And more importantly - the fear of a possible heart disease.

There are unpleasant sensations, but the doctor says that there is no reason for concern. So how to behave and what to do?

Cardiologist Leonid Maksimenko tells about this for.

- Cardioneurosis and tachycardia are one and the same? And how do the drugs atenolol and panangin help in such cases, which are most often prescribed by doctors to such patients?

- Cardioneurosis is a rather relative concept.. Because in the Russian and international nomenclature of diseases there is no diagnosis under this name. Although in the everyday life of doctors and patients this term is very common. A person begins to doubt the correctness of the diagnosis, to get nervous, and thereby further aggravates his condition.. It turns out a vicious circle: anxiety - poor health - increased anxiety - further deterioration of well-being, etc..

If we talk about tachycardia, then this is a symptom of so many conditions.. The person is nervous, and his heart will beat faster. Any emotional outburst - negative or positive - can be the cause of a rapid heartbeat. For example, excitement before a date or empathy for the heroes of a beloved series..

At the same time, it can be a symptom of many very serious diseases and not only of the heart.. If you are worried about persistent tachycardia and, moreover, it is accompanied by weight loss and irritability, then you need to check the thyroid gland. This is especially true for women with an unstable state of the nervous system.. If tachycardia is accompanied by discomfort in the region of the heart, you need to go to a cardiologist and conduct a more detailed examination..

Atenolol and Panangin are beta-blockers, the main action of which is to reduce the heart rate.. But in addition to the positive effect, these drugs have a significant number of side effects.. Therefore, they should be taken only under medical supervision..

First, if the patient feels similar ailments, then you need to quit smoking.. Second, reduce the number of cups of coffee you drink per day.. There is no definite norm, but two or three cups of good grain coffee a day is not harmful.. You can drink much more instant coffee of low quality without fear for your health..

And the most useful is a walk for half an hour - an hour before bedtime. A little physical activity - walking at a fairly fast or slow pace, as one likes, is one of the best ways to avoid cardioneurosis. There are, of course, severe cases that require correction directly at the doctor's appointment.. In this case, drugs of a sedative plan, antidepressants are prescribed, which are selected purely individually..

- Can cardioneurosis cause serious complications

– If the cardiologist has not found serious abnormalities that can be attributed to diseases of the heart and blood vessels, then this condition is unlikely to lead to any complications. Indeed, cardioneurosis is most often considered as a consequence of a nervous breakdown.. Conflicts in the family, at work, stress, as well as physical overload can lead to it.. If the doctor diagnosed "

It should be borne in mind that pain in the heart, but without tachycardia, may occur due to spinal osteochondrosis. This is common in men after 40 years, and in women it can occur at an earlier age.. Those who have certain spinal deformities are most susceptible to this..

- Very often cardioneurosis is recognized in patients who are not even 20 years old. Is this possible at such a young age

- Yes, it is possible. But, first of all, the doctor must find out from the patient whether he suffered from hypertension, whether there were attacks of tachycardia and rises in blood pressure in his parents. In 90% of cases, the answer will probably be yes.. That is, true hypertension as a manifestation of cardioneurosis is almost 100% inherited. And you can find it at an early age..

Again, thyroid problems could be the cause..

They are almost always inherited or caused by living in areas where there is not enough iodine in the food..

As we can see, cardioneurosis or tachycardia cannot be analyzed separately.. These are just symptoms of diseases that can lead to unpleasant consequences..

- What means of herbal medicine can be used for cardioneurosis?

- It is not recommended to use proprietary drugs in the form of tablets or solutions, allegedly consisting of medicinal herbs. For example, modern remedies for weight loss, insomnia. The composition of such preparations often remains unknown to those who sell them, nor to those who buy them.. And, accordingly, whether they will benefit or harm, it is not clear..

Useful all water infusions of herbs. It has the widest range of drugs that can be found in any good pharmacy.. These can be both collections of individual medicinal herbs, such as valerian, motherwort, hawthorn, cinquefoil, mint, and special ready-made collections.. In case of cardioneurosis, you should ask for "

It helps a lot if you mix equal amounts of valerian root and motherwort herb, brew, insist for a while and take half a glass at night. And it is useful at any age.. Quite effective and alcohol tinctures of medicinal herbs, valerian tincture helps especially well..

- They say that with cardioneurosis it is sometimes useful to drink a glass of wine with dinner.

Is it so?

- Small doses of alcohol - from 40 to 50 ml of absolute alcohol, or 90 g of spirits, or 200 g of wine - are not harmful to health. There are several positive things about drinking alcohol. Firstly, alcohol is a natural tranquilizer, it relieves stagnant tension in the brain, liberates a person. That is why busting leads to such a well-known state as "

And if the pain in the heart is of a nervous nature, which is a manifestation of cardioneurosis, then small doses of alcohol can reduce them.. But this does not mean that if you drink not a glass of wine, but a whole bottle, then the next day there will be no pain.. Not at all, since the duration of the effect of alcohol is short. Secondly, dry red wine - not fortified and not table - to some extent has an antioxidant effect and somewhat lowers cholesterol, strengthens the vascular wall.. Of course, there is a positive effect, but there is also a negative one.. The key is moderation..

However, any recommendation in this regard should be accompanied by the following caveats.. The reaction to alcohol is individual and depends on a number of enzymes.. It has nothing to do with human desires.. It's just that everyone has their own enzyme system, which can quickly or slowly break down alcohol products.. Or maybe not split at all.. Therefore, in this case, everything is purely individual.. A glass of wine during dinner helps someone, but only causes additional inconvenience to someone.
