Rheumatic myocarditis: when rheumatism «Blessed heart»

You knew about where you have a heart only on textbooks and from your teachers. And suddenly felt - here it is. And how hurts! What are the symptoms of a heart attack, are physical exertion with heart problems and what is rheumatic myocarditis, you will learn from this article. Cardiologist, doctor of the highest category Tamara Ogoiyeva.

• Strong, graceful pain behind the sternum (lasts longer than 15 minutes),
• Rangeing shorts,
• Singing lips,
• Cold sweat and terrible fear of death, which is explained by common oxygen starvation.

But! Now the doctors are increasingly faced with atypical manifestations. They manifest themselves sudden acute pain (more often on the left side) and bloating.

So, if there are no clear signs that a person has a disorder of digestion, do not wash the stomach. First you need to eliminate heart problems.

Sometimes the only manifestation may be pain in the left hand, left shoulder, jaw, toothache (also on the left). If such a pain began after an emotional or large physothe truck, she has no other logical explanations, it is a reason to alert!

In fact, exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases and, which is very important, repeated heart attacks. They help to saturate the heart with oxygen, keep small blood vessels in a tone - capillaries.

But a sedentary lifestyle, on the contrary, is one of the risk factors. After all, myocardium, like any muscle, scares and weakens without workout, will reduce blood emissions, and hello, heart failure!

In addition, the oscillation of the core from active life forms fears from him. If you prohibit a person any loads, it will be formed sooner or later «Hospital syndrome».

But loads also need to choose with the mind. Running, jumping, classes on power simulators and other sharp movements non-physiological for our cardiovascular system. They cause an uneven blood flow to organs, spasms, increase pressure.

In contrast, a positive action on the heart is to have a walk (with the cardiologists who have suffered a heart attack strongly recommend walking on foot 2 - 3 kilometers a day), calm swimming, yoga.

Myocarditis: Why rheumatism beats the heart
