IN last article we have sorted out the mechanisms of the appearance of extrasystoles, but the readers demand to go further.
I explain. Based on the previous article, extrasystoles are triggered by a defect in the heart itself, such as a scar or hypertrophy, electrolyte imbalances like potassium, calcium and magnesium, stimulants like adrenaline.
What you can and what you cannot
Eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits every day, exercise physically, monitor blood pressure, keep cholesterol under control. This will reduce the risk of heart attack or dangerous left ventricular hypertrophy.
If you have already received coronary heart disease, then do not seek adventure in extreme conditions, do not travel where there is high and little oxygen in the air.
To avoid problems with potassium, magnesium and calcium, eat more varied and do not exceed the daily intake of calcium (because its excess triggers arrhythmia).
Don't get carried away with stimulants. Avoid over-the-counter cold medications in your nose. Don't freak out or pump yourself up with extra adrenaline.
WITH coffee and tea are getting harder. Formally, caffeine does not provoke the appearance of extrasystoles. But this is on average. In fact, there are people who swear that coffee causes them heart irregularities. So it's individual.
Do not take prescription medications without a doctor's prescription. We touched on this in the topic about antibiotics. There are a bunch of drugs that provoke the development of arrhythmias.
Well, as it were, and that's it... In my opinion, you can't do anything else yourself.
