How to treat tachycardia at home using folk remedies

When the heart asks for help

Timely diagnosis of diseases often plays a decisive role, especially when it comes to cardiac problems. The sooner an accurate diagnosis is made, the sooner the correct treatment can be prescribed. It is very important to be attentive to your heart and consult a doctor if any signs of trouble appear. Tachycardia is an increase in heart rate above normal. In some cases, it is one of the signs of heart disease.

Contact your doctor if you experience the following symptoms:

• you have already been diagnosed with some form of tachycardia, but you have not contacted a cardiologist for further observation and/or treatment
• periodic palpitations
• chest pain, heart pounding
• difficulty breathing, feeling of lack of air
• pre-syncope or fainting (even without discomfort in the heart area)
• dizziness
• When counting your pulse at home, you independently detected a pulse rate of 90 beats per minute or more
• increase or decrease in blood pressure
• the presence of cardiac diseases in you or in your relatives.

Even if you have experienced an attack of tachycardia for the first time, contacting a doctor is considered mandatory.

Complaints of palpitations are a serious reason for urgent examination. At the EXPERT Clinic, patients are treated by doctors with extensive experience. The most modern diagnosis of heart rhythm disturbances is possible.

Lifestyle correction

The best way to defeat tachycardia is to prevent its development. How to do it?

1. You need to take care of your nerves. Mental balance is the key to health.
2. Overwork, both physical and mental, negatively affects the functioning of the heart, so it is important to ensure that you get enough rest.
3. A good night's sleep is the best way to relieve nervous tension and restore strength. Daily long walks in the fresh air contribute to good sleep.
4. Everyone needs to play sports, but the load must be selected taking into account your capabilities. Tachycardia is not scary for a trained heart.
5. There is no need to provoke attacks by drinking coffee or other products that excite the nervous system.
6. A good mood, positive emotions, the ability to abstract from problematic situations - all this will help keep the heart healthy.

It is important to know how to deal with tachycardia and apply preventive measures in a timely manner. Folk remedies and recipes that have been proven over the years will always come to the rescue. Herbal medicine is a whole science about medicinal plants and how to use them for the benefit of health. But traditional medicine should remain the main method of combating the disease, and any other approaches should be used only after discussing them with the attending physician - any self-medication is fraught with negative consequences.

Causes of rapid heartbeat

There is a natural (physiological) tachycardia, when a rapid heartbeat occurs in response to some kind of physical activity, severe stress and emotional stress, with an increase in body temperature, etc. In this case, the heart rhythm returns to normal on its own. Physiological tachycardia is also observed during pregnancy (especially in the third trimester). A variety of reasons can lead to disturbances in the functioning of the heart. First of all, these include heart diseases (for example, defects, endocarditis). Tachycardia is one of the clinical manifestations of anemia.

Increased heart rate occurs with certain diseases of the endocrine system (for example, diabetes mellitus, thyroid pathology). Tachycardia appears in disorders of the autonomic nervous system, due to hemodynamic disorders, with regular use of certain medications, etc.

Cardiologists at the EXPERT Clinic take into account the variety of reasons that “make” the heart beat faster. That is why patients are offered a comprehensive examination to accurately determine the causes and correctly prescribe the treatment that the patient so needs.

Alcohol tinctures

Tachycardia can be treated with folk remedies using alcohol tinctures.

A proven remedy – a mixture of 4 tinctures – gives a good effect. To do this, you need to take ready-made alcohol tinctures at the pharmacy based on valerian, motherwort, hawthorn and add Corvalol to them. The proportions should be the same.

You should drink 15-20 drops of the product before meals. The course is a week. The heart rhythm should return to normal.

Another option for a mixture of alcohol tinctures: eucalyptus, mint, peony, valerian, motherwort, hawthorn. All these tinctures are mixed in the following proportions: eucalyptus - 50 ml, mint - 25 ml, peony, motherwort, hawthorn and valerian - 100 ml each. This whole mixture is supplemented with 10 buds of cloves and infused for a week and a half.

You should drink the medicine like this: add a teaspoon to 100 ml of water, this dose is taken three times a day.

The effectiveness of tincture on juices is noted. Mix lemon juice, half a glass of chokeberry juice, cranberry and carrot juice in the same volume with 200 g of vodka. The tincture should be consumed three times a day. You can eat after this only an hour later. Single dose – 1 tablespoon.

Clover in alcohol: meadow clover is taken in the amount of several grains, poured with a liter of vodka or alcohol. The tincture is kept for a month. You need to drink the medicine three times a day, 15-20 ml.

Elecampane tincture is prepared as follows: half a glass of dry elecampane is mixed with alcohol (200 ml) and left for 14 days. When the tincture is ready, you need to drink it before meals three times a day. Single dose – 1 teaspoon.

To treat thorny gorse, its seeds are poured with vodka and infused for about ten days. Take 30 g of seeds for half a glass of vodka. If you drink 30 drops three times a day, the heart will begin to work in a calm mode.

An alcoholic infusion is also made from the gorse herb. It is prepared like this: dry grass (800 g) is poured with vodka (250 g). This tincture should be kept for about two weeks. When using, dilute a tablespoon of the medicine in a small amount of water. Drink in the same way as the seed-based product.

Why is tachycardia dangerous to health?

Attacks of tachycardia are most often periodic. They may occur for a short period of time and with a relatively small increase in heart rate, and a strong heartbeat affects the ability to work. In all cases, urgent examination of the patient is required! The main danger is posed by yet unidentified cardiac diseases, which can manifest themselves as palpitations. People with already diagnosed serious problems require great attention. This may be coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure. In severe cases, tachycardia provokes even more dangerous rhythm disturbances and more serious complications (cardiac asthma, pulmonary edema). Emerging hemodynamic disorders are generally an unfavorable factor for the condition of internal organs.

In the event of an attack of tachycardia, you must immediately call a doctor (in case of any deterioration in health: loss or confusion of consciousness, severe pain in the heart area, etc.). During an attack, a person must be kept at rest.

Honey recipes

Medicines are made from honey for many diseases, including the treatment of tachycardia. It is worth considering the presence of restrictions - diabetes, allergies to the main healing component.

Sweet balm

• natural honey (1 l);
• garlic (10 pcs.);
• lemon (10 pcs.).

Finely grate the peeled garlic and squeeze out the citrus juice. Knead the garlic pulp, citrus drops and honey, place the resulting consistency in an airtight container. Store for 10 days in a dark, cool corner. Treat with one small spoon 4 times a day, after dissolving the healing “delicacy” in your mouth.

Nut-honey medicine

• natural honey (1 l);
• almonds (100 g);
• walnut (100 g);
• cocoa (100 g);
• dark chocolate (100 g).

Take a large spoonful of this delicious mixture every morning. This medicine should be stored in the refrigerator.

Diagnosis and treatment of tachycardia

You are experiencing palpitations, what to do in this situation? The answer is simple - contact a cardiologist. First of all, the doctor will conduct an accurate diagnosis. It begins with a detailed interview with the patient. It is important for the doctor to hear about all existing complaints, as well as about chronic diseases, heredity, etc. The main method of examination is an ECG. Currently, there is modern equipment for obtaining ECG data. With its help, any cardiac arrhythmia is determined as accurately as possible. Correct ECG analysis is of particular importance, so an experienced cardiologist interprets the data obtained. In some cases, to clarify the diagnosis, other methods of examining the patient are required: echocardiogram, Holter ECG monitoring, etc. We must not forget about additional research methods: blood tests, ultrasound of the thyroid gland, etc.

At the EXPERT Clinic, the entire necessary range of diagnostic measures is possible. There is modern ECG equipment, so the cardiologist will always make a quick and accurate diagnosis.

How to choose a cardiologist

If you want to go to a medical institution for consultation because of rapid heartbeat, then first of all it is important to choose a clinic that has proven itself well. Advantages of the EXPERT Clinic:

• multidisciplinary medical center, which allows you to get advice from various specialists if necessary
• experienced and attentive cardiologists
• modern examination equipment, as well as practicing specialists in ultrasound and functional diagnostics
• the ability to quickly take all tests and provide examination results
• the most attentive attitude towards patients, only an individual approach, a detailed study of the problem
• convenience and comfort in the clinic, responsive medical staff.

Do not delay visiting a cardiologist, because timely identification of the main problem of “rapid heartbeat” can sometimes save your life.

Essential oils

Aromatic oils can also help with “attacks” of tachycardia. To do this, mix the following essential components (10 drops each):

• anise;
• cinnamon;
• lavender;
• Melissa;
• carnation;
• eucalyptus;
• sage;
• thyme;
• mint.

Apply a few drops of the pre-prepared product to a handkerchief and enjoy its aroma correctly - inhale shorter than exhale. You can also rub a mixture of essential oils into the sternum if you tolerate them well.

Rhythm under control

The doctor selects an antiarrhythmic treatment strategy. The main option for normalizing cardiac arrhythmias are antiarrhythmic drugs. Drug therapy is prescribed on a strictly individual basis. It depends on the form of tachycardia, existing chronic diseases and disorders, as well as on the causes that caused this condition! There are different groups of antiarrhythmic drugs depending on the main mechanism of action. Due to individual characteristics in the prescription of therapy, it is strictly forbidden to self-medicate. In difficult cases, urgent medical intervention is necessary to stop the attack.

Additionally, the cardiologist evaluates risk factors that may worsen the patient's condition. This may be family history, old age, arterial hypertension, some chronic diseases, lifestyle, etc. Simple rules for an adequate work and rest regime have a positive effect. This includes proper and restful sleep, good nutrition, limiting stressful situations, and the right approach to physical activity. If you have tachycardia, you should not smoke or drink alcohol. Alcohol and nicotine can independently affect the heart rhythm, and also become provocateurs of more serious pathologies. If palpitations occur, it is very important to always follow all doctor’s orders and regularly come for routine examinations. The specialist will evaluate the effectiveness of the prescribed therapy and clarify your well-being. Do not stop prescribed medications yourself. Only a cardiologist will help you choose the right tactics and take control of your heart rhythm.

The cardiologist at the EXPERT Clinic prescribes individual drug therapy only after a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition. A careful comprehensive approach and correct diagnosis guarantee effective treatment! Frequent heartbeat will no longer bother you.
