Palpitations are unpleasant perceptions of strong pulsations or an increased heart rate. They can be a pathology in themselves, or simply a symptom of a much more complex pathology and only a medical consultation can tell this.
Symptoms associated with heart palpitations
Heart palpitations can be of various origins, but most often they are due to a slight dysfunction of the nervous system. Palpitations are disorders in the functioning of the heart that are usually accompanied by an increased heart rate, malaise, dizziness, choking, a lot of sweating, pallor, facial erythema, irregular pulse and various pains.
Anxiety, strong emotions and climatic variations can cause this heart dysfunction. But the consumption of stimulants such as coffee, alcohol or tobacco can produce the same effects. Some medications can also cause palpitations. However, heart palpitations can be manifestations of other pathologies such as anemia, blood glucose deficiency or hyperthyroidism.
Homeopathic treatment of palpitations
To alleviate heart palpitations, it is first necessary to identify their origin. Several homeopathic remedies can treat palpitations according to their symptoms. Thus, Ignatia is highly recommended to reduce palpitations that are related to the state of anxiety in which the subject finds himself. The dosage to be administered is 3 granules per dose, 3 doses per day just before meals. It is a product that can be combined with Hawthorn. For people who are stressed and very unstable, it is indicated to take Argentum Nitricum. Ambra Grisea is recommended for palpitations due to hyperemotionality. In the same product range, we can mention Gelsenium sempervirens, Aconite, Coffea cruda, Nux Vomica, Spigelia and Phosphorus.
When palpitations occur at night and the affected person feels deep anxiety, then it is advisable to take 5 granules of Aconitum napellus 9 CH per day. When palpitations are associated with facial redness, it is best to take 5 granules of Glonoinum 7 CH per day. Finally, when the heart rate is very high, you should opt to take 5 granules of Lycopus 5 CH per day. It should also be noted that all these remedies can be administered when attacks occur.
All homeopathic remedies indicated for treating palpitations improve the circulation of the heart muscle by lowering the rhythm of the beat. For better therapeutic effectiveness, the subject suffering from palpitations must imperatively avoid taking coffee, alcohol, tobacco and any stimulant in general. Walking is also recommended for people with this disorder because this kind of physical activity helps to strengthen the heart muscle.
When to see a doctor for heart palpitations?
Palpitations are signs that the heart muscle is not functioning normally. This dysfunction can, in the long term, lead to significant damage to this sensitive organ. It is therefore very important to seek the advice of a doctor at the first onset in order to determine the origin of the disease and the appropriate treatment as quickly as possible.
