There is such a famous song about the heart that does not want peace, and this is exactly what happens in life. Quite suddenly, at the most unexpected moment, the heart may begin to pound desperately. The number of strokes cannot be counted, they are so swift. At such moments, a wave of fear involuntarily rises, the body is covered with cold sweat, a lump comes up to the throat and it becomes hard to breathe. A terrible feeling that you need to get rid of, so that it will never bother us. In medicine - tachycardia, and among the people - just a strong heartbeat. What to do and how to deal with this problem?
If an increased heartbeat begins, first of all it is worth calming down, sitting down or lying down. We can say that this is a certain signal of the body that it just needs rest. It is also worth trying to apply the vagal method, which is expressed in the inclusion of control (stimulation of the vagal nerve). To do this, take a strong breath and try to push the air as deep as possible into yourself. By massaging the carotid artery, you can also calm a strong heartbeat. What to do if a person does not know how to do such a massage? Seek advice from a specialist. He will tell you with what force it is necessary to press the artery and show the necessary points. It is massaged below, under the jaw, and at the junction of it with the cervical artery.
You can use the immersion reflex. To do this, you need to draw cold water into the basin and immerse your face in it for a minute or two. This reflex works great in mammals that dive to great depths, in the cold layers of water, while their heart rate automatically slows down. Try this natural way to protect your heart and brain.
If you abuse coffee, strong tea or, even worse, alcohol, then a fast and strong heartbeat is simply inevitable. What to do in these cases? The best solution would be to completely eliminate or seriously restrict the use of these substances. The same recommendations apply to chocolate, cola and other types of stimulants of the body, the most terrible effect on the work of the heart. An increased heartbeat can result from various stresses and poor nutrition. Smoking is also one of the serious reasons why a strong heartbeat can occur.
What to do in order to prevent the possibility of this dangerous and unpleasant condition? It is necessary to eat not only tasty, but also healthy food. Eat as little sweets as possible, do not drink soda, observe the appropriate regimen. Do not eat up once a day, but divide meals several times, so as not to overload the heart. To strengthen the heart muscle, you can do jogging, gymnastics, do morning workouts. Try not to give in to stress and relax more often. Arriving home after a hard day, you can turn on some nice calm music and just relax. Believe me, this will be the best medicine.
Constant stress, haste and the fast pace of modern life - these are the reasons that result in an increased heartbeat. Take magnesium - this is the best defender of the "engine" of the body, which, alas, is not eternal. It promotes cardiac relaxation and contraction and makes the main “motor” hardy.
If the heartbeat is elevated, you can also turn to traditional medicine. Whenever the heart begins to accelerate, take an herbal infusion prepared in advance. It is necessary in equal parts to brew motherwort, caraway seeds, fennel seeds and valerian. You can drink it for preventive purposes. Have more rest and take care of your restless and only heart, since it has asked for help, then you need to give it to him.
