Often congenital, paroxysmal tachycardia is a disease that manifests itself by a sudden acceleration of the heart rate. Sometimes it is asymptomatic and its existence is only known after a cardiac check-up. Its symptoms - such as palpitations, fainting, polyuria and nervousness - can appear suddenly. However, it is possible to prevent and relieve them with homeopathic remedies. Made from natural products, they calm the sick person and regulate their heart rate accordingly.
Symptoms of paroxysmal tachycardia
Palpitation - which appears and stops abruptly - is the main symptom of paroxysmal tachycardia or Bouveret's disease. The patient feels that his heart is beating faster than usual. The heart rate can reach 200 to 250 beats per minute. The palpitations usually last only a short time. However, it is possible that they may not stop until after a few hours or even several days.
In some cases, the person with paroxysmal tachycardia suffers from dizziness. This little discomfort still allows him to go about his daily business. However, it can also happen that certain signs of the disease bother him, paroxysmal tachycardia can cause an episode of polyuria and/or nervousness.
Treatment of palpitations and dizziness
Some homeopaths prescribe Strophantus to those who suffer from paroxysmal tachycardia. But, Belladonna 7CH is the most indicated remedy for palpitations and dizziness. The recommended dosage is 5 granules, to be renewed as soon as a new attack occurs. Alternatively, the patient may also use three granules of Lycopus Virginicus 9 CH, which are to be taken 3 times a day.
Anxiety treatment
Ignatia 9CH and Digitalis 9CH may be combined with Belladonna or Strophantus when the patient is very nervous due to cardiac arrhythmia. The prescribed dose here is 3 granules to be renewed 3 times a day. Treatment should continue until the patient becomes calm again.
When to go to a doctor?
If a person has a pulse of more than 100 beats per minute but is not stressed or exhausted by physical exertion or their pulse does not return to 70 or 80 beats per minute 5 minutes after physical activity, they are advised to consult a cardiologist or general practitioner. On the other hand, if the tachycardia is accompanied by difficulty breathing, chest pain or loss of consciousness, the patient should be taken to the emergency room immediately.
