The human heart is constantly under stress. Day and night, it pumps large volumes of blood, which is vital for the body. A modern person often just does not think about his heart. However, quite unexpectedly, such a moment may come when there are sensations of pressing and stitching pains, as well as shortness of breath. A person sometimes feels a strong heartbeat, which occurs even at the time of rest. A pathological change in the activity of the myocardial muscle causes a decrease in working capacity, sleep disturbance and excessive excitability. As a result, a person goes for a consultation with a specialist who recommends taking pills for the heart to alleviate the condition.
The bulk of people believe that for any problems with the myocardium, the medicine “Corvalol” or “Validol” should be at hand. However, these drugs can not always help.
Means "Validol", of course, eliminates pain in the heart. But with bouts of angina pectoris, it is ineffective. In such situations, pills for the heart "Nitroglycerin" will help more.
With stress, pain often occurs behind the sternum. They cause fear of death in the patient. In order to remove this phenomenon, you must simultaneously take a tablet of the drug "Nitroglycerin" and "Validol". They eliminate stress and expand the coronary arteries.
The medicine “Corvalol” calms the nervous system, lowers the excessive heart rate, eliminates nervousness and irritability, and normalizes sleep. This drug dilates blood vessels, thereby contributing to the blood supply to the myocardial muscle.
To reduce the frequency of contractions, pills for the heart, belonging to the class of beta-blockers, are used. The most common of these are the following: Atenolol, Lokren, Concor, and Dilatrend. When using these drugs, it is necessary to control blood pressure and heart rate.
With pathologies of the myocardium, it is important to prevent a hypertensive crisis. To do this, with the phenomena of heart failure in order to reduce the thickness of the vascular walls and normalize blood supply, cardiologists recommend taking drugs that belong to the class of inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme. These funds can significantly extend the life of the patient. The most used heart pills that belong to the class of ACE inhibitors are Lisinopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril, Captopril, etc.
Drugs prescribed by cardiologists include medicines that are calcium antagonists. In particular, this drug is Diltiazem, Verapamil, Amlodipine and Nifedipine. These dosage forms stabilize blood pressure and protect the patient from heart attacks.
Herbs for the heart, which are recommended by folk healers, must be taken simultaneously with the passage of the main course of therapy. In the case when the pathology is not detected, but sometimes presses and tingles in the chest, it is necessary to take medicinal plants as a preventive measure.
The main heart defenders are:
- hawthorn;
- valerian;
- peppermint;
- lemon balm;
- motherwort;
- swampy dried mussel;
- chicory;
- lovage.
Supplements for the heart, produced by various pharmacological firms, contain in their composition the concentrated beneficial substances found in medicinal plants. Their reception is convenient with a modern accelerated rhythm of life, when a person does not have enough time to prepare decoctions and infusions.
