Psychosomatics: cardiovascular diseases (hypertension). Coronary artery disease

In our culture, the heart is the symbolic center of love. “These words come from the very heart”, “I feel with my heart” - this is how we say. We love with our hearts. “The heart responded, the call of the heart” - and so we say.

Also, as the practitioner of psychosomatic science V. Sinelnikov says, the heart is the center of joy, the life center of a person. It pumps the vital blood, the life force personified. And also - joy, writes Sinelnikov.

Love is life.

Heart problems, pain in the heart - these are problems with love. This is the inability to express your love for loved ones, for the world around you in the way you would like. And, attention, to yourself too.

The Heart and the Deficit of Love

Every person has huge reserves of love for everything around him. But not everyone feels them and, moreover, they manifest them as they should. In this case, love is blocked inside a person. Why? Each of the "blocked" thinks differently and is wrong in its own way. For some, the world is too imperfect to love, well, and the people in it. Someone wants to pick up a suitable, “worthy” partner for this. Someone is afraid of being rejected by showing their love. Usually all these blocks are subconscious thoughts about one's own imperfection. Lack of love, but above all to yourself.

Our heart not only gives love, but also receives it. If the channel through which a person gives love and receives it is broken, then one should not be surprised that the heart hurts.

Often a person does not want to give love to others just like that. He wants love to be given to him first. “And in gratitude he will open his heart”, “The Way to the Heart”. You see, even the language reflects these changes – a closed heart, an open heart. More often, however, the latter is mentioned.

This all means that a person is afraid of being rejected if he begins to give love. That his feelings will be accepted without gratitude or somehow used. A person closes and does not love, does not want to love. Perhaps he will still meet another who will love him and begin to give him warmth, love and tenderness, without expecting anything in return. Perhaps soon our cold ice will thaw and open like a flower. But it may be different.

Analyzing cases of heart disease in families, I came to a consistent picture. If one of the spouses has heart problems, then, most likely, in the family it is he who loves his spouse. “Loves” I will put in quotation marks, because not everything is clear here. But it is this person who first reaches out to another with manifestations of his tender feelings, and expects manifestations of love in return. And the second spouse? And the second husband - so-so. He either really does not love, or does not know how to show his love. There is no exchange of energy, and it is precisely the lover who needs his closed partner who suffers from this.

Heart and arranged marriage

Katya recently graduated from high school and was waiting for Konstantin from the army. She did not know any other guys and relationships with them. She did not have special feelings for Konstantin, but her parents insisted that she wait for him without fail. He promised to marry, and everything showed that he was a decent guy. Not feeling any special love or love, Katya obediently waited for Kostya and married him.

All her life, Katya lives behind Kostya, “like behind a stone wall”, treats him with respect and believes that it is on the principle of her husband’s reliability that a family should be built. She still demands attention to herself, like a child: either she worries about something, or she again does not get along with her work.

Over time, Konstantin developed heart disease.

Here is Inna. Her husband is cold, he can not talk for weeks if he is offended, he does not praise her in any way, does not show sexual interest: this woman has constant pains in her heart. He is generally closed, emotionally, verbally, in touch. He is greedy, and not only for love, but also for money.

Once his wife liked his outward “calmness”, but over time she got tired of “begging” him for her portion of attention every time, behaving well and pleasing her husband. She began to break loose, her husband was offended and closed completely. At first glance, it is clear that this man is very vulnerable, that he is full of fears and complexes, due to which he is very afraid of disturbing his shaky internal balance from the outside.

How do love, hate, "barter" and self-esteem relate

If your heart hurts, do not rush to blame your loved ones for not loving you. We ourselves close at that moment, close our channel of love and vital energy, when we are offended by the lack of love from others. “They don’t love me, they treat me badly, but I wholeheartedly ....” When this thought touches a person, then somewhere in the depths of his soul he himself feels unworthy of love, insignificant.

Even when we feel love in our hearts, we do not always know how to express it correctly, so that others feel it in full. Secondly, many people have impaired acceptance of love from others. This happens again when a person considers himself unworthy to be loved.

And when a person says that he hates the whole world, it means that his huge reserves of love energy are still being realized, but in a distorted form. Hate is also love strong love, only it manifests itself on the contrary, in an inverted form.

Someone expects a manifestation of love from a partner, a lot, a lot, a whole waterfall. I want him to be gentle, affectionate, respectful, open his soul, share his innermost. I want her to understand, appreciate, support, rejoice in you. And if this is not the case, then a heart wound is guaranteed. Again, literal and vital combinations of words in our language - “heart wound”, “heartbreak”.

We are beggars, says teacher Osho. We come to each other and wait for love to be given to us. It's like two beggars asking a friend for coins. But they have nothing to give to each other, because they are both beggars. To love, you do not need to wait for love in return, says Osho. Need to love the world, and yourself in this world, and then people will come to bathe in your love. Love should bloom like a flower and flow like a stream that doesn't care if someone admires them or not, they remain beautiful.

Psychological causes of heart disease

There is a word that kills the heart and the cardiovascular system. That word is stress. Well, how to protect yourself from stress, if it is everywhere, you ask? In this regard, psychosomatics pays attention primarily to internal stress, and not external. On the inner tension of a person.

People who are prone to heartaches "take everything to heart", literally in this sense. Psychosomatics teaches that such people believe in the need for tension and stress in their lives. They are not relaxed, because for them life is a constant tension, constant unrest. And there are disturbances. Whatever eventually happens in the lives of such people, it is experienced as stress.

If, from the point of view of someone else, there is nothing to worry about at all, then the potential “core” will still find a problem that they will worry about. Often such people are very worried about their loved ones, feel sorry for them (which is often not useful in any way, and can even be harmful), empathize and sympathize to the detriment of themselves. One way or another, all potential "cores" have a strong fear of loneliness, a kind of "chill".

Forbidden, but "key" phrases in this case, reflecting what is happening:

The heart bleeds.

I am a compassionate person

- "In hearts"

World is not fair.

Stone on the heart

Heart broke

Is life suffering? No. Life is joy. And the heart is a symbol of the joy of life. And when a person himself, in his emotional world, deprives himself of life's joy, then the heart responds to this with pain. Yes, external circumstances can play a big role here, but in the end a person comes to a situation where he is left alone with a lack of joy, and only he himself can change something here. better side. If the situation is dragged out, then the heart falls into decay, because at some level it seems to be unnecessary.

Stop reading literature where people constantly suffer and suffer. This is the position of a victim, a victim of people, a victim of this world, but the real world is not limited to the world of the victim. There are many other, obviously more interesting positions in this life to choose from.

To begin to get rid of the habit of straining and finding for yourself stressful situations, which means to free your heart, you should learn one thing. Many people, whether rich or poor, married or single, young or old, live in this world and feel relaxed most of the time. You can live easily without stress. It's really possible. And it's not immoral, and certainly not heartless. That's the right way to live.

Feel if there is something unpleasant in your chest? Something pulling or heavy? Get rid of it, free yourself, straighten up, take a deep breath and get used to breathing like that all the time.

The heart is a muscular organ that, with its contractions, provides blood flow through the blood vessels. According to experts, the heart is the most important organ in the human body. It is known that more than half of the deaths are due to heart disease.

Cardiovascular diseases are classified into groups such as: violations of the heart (contractility, conduction, excitability), the effect of oxygen supply (ischemia, necrosis), the nature of the lesions (dystrophy, inflammation, sclerosis), diseases due to heart departments (myocardial diseases, pericardium, endocardium and malformations).

General symptoms of ailments: acute squeezing pain with burning, radiating to the left hypochondrium; tingling or squeezing pain in the region of the heart; constant aching tightness and discomfort in the region of the heart; pain, paralyzing the entire left side of the body; pain radiating to the neck, shoulder blades, lower back; a feeling of fullness in the chest, a feeling of emptiness.

Simultaneously with the listed symptoms, other signs of heart disease may also be observed: palpitations, increased sweating, shortness of breath, fever or chills, nausea, swelling, headache, anxiety or fear, turning into horror, a decrease or increase in pressure, lack of air, weakness, loss of consciousness, etc.

The causes of heart disease are:

1. genetic predisposition,
2. mental illness,
3. hormonal changes,
4. changing of the climate,
5. stress, etc.

It is also necessary to highlight the negative factors that contribute to the disruption of the heart: smoking and alcohol, the use of drugs without measure, excessive consumption of spicy foods and tonic drinks, excessive physical activity or its lack, lack of sleep, prolonged work at the computer, overwork, etc.

The most common heart conditions are:

Heart rhythm disorders: sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, extrasystole, sinus bradycardia, etc.

Chronic heart failure- a condition of the heart in which it is not able to fully pump blood due to diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

Inflammatory heart disease(endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditis) are caused by bacteria and viruses, toxic substances, etc.

Sclerotic damage to the heart- cardiosclerosis.

congenital heart defects(mitral valve prolapse, etc.) and acquired (valvular defects, in which either blood pumping is difficult (stenosis), or does not close completely (insufficiency)). Appear due to chronic heart disease, inflammation, unhealthy lifestyle.

Coronary artery disease(IHD) is a heart disease associated with insufficient blood supply to the myocardium (the thickest and most powerful part of the heart wall) due to atherosclerosis or thrombosis of the coronary arteries. Causes the development of angina pectoris (angina pectoris) and acute myocardial infarction.

It is known that the heart symbolizes the ability to give and receive love. Blood is the joy of life. A person whose heart is filled with Love lives in joy.

But if the heart, as the organ of love, rejects love and its associated joy then it starts to hurt. Such a heart literally shrinks, becomes like a cracker, or even worse - like a stone. In a person, qualities such as callousness, harshness, harshness, heartlessness, cruelty.

Cardiovascular diseases are among the most common psychosomatic ailments. It was revealed that people suffer from heart diseases, constantly experiencing negative emotions , and positive-minded people do not know problems with this body. At the same time, one can notice that psychosomatic pain sensations appear during experiences.

The human heart is very sensitive to emotional experiences. This can be seen even by how the strength and frequency of the heartbeat changes during joyful or stressful moments of life.

Nerve centers also influence the work of the heart. And their overexcitation, especially the sympathetic plexus located in the heart, negatively affects the state of this organ.

On the other hand, stresses in life negatively affect the autonomic nervous system which regulates the functioning of the heart. Because of what, the muscles of the heart begin to contract involuntarily and the vessels contract.

Psychosomatics of heart pain

From the foregoing, it follows that the very first cause of heart disease lack of love.

The next reason is ignoring love and its value due to the desire for a career and material well-being.

Often due to experienced strong emotional experiences a person closes his heart, becomes indifferent.

Observations revealed psychological features people suffering from heart disease. The first type of people is egocentric, hysterical, loud. The second type is neurasthenics, having an unstable, weak nervous system, who are easily unbalanced. The third type of people suffering from heart disease is psychasthenics with natural suspiciousness who are prone to unreasonable fears and obsessive thoughts. The fourth type is shy psychasthenics with a sense of insecurity, incapable of solving even simple life tasks.

It should be noted that such personality traits are laid in childhood, when the child lives in a conflict family and is very much experiencing discord between dear people - dad and mom.

So heart disease nervous ground inherent in people who are accustomed keep emotions under control; accustomed take everything to heart; compassionate people trying to take someone else's pain upon themselves; workaholics, those who believe that love must be earned by work in order to meet the expectations of others; people striving to do everything and living in a frantic rhythm, overloading themselves, and even when feeling unwell, not paying attention to the signals of their body, but continuing to work.

It should be noted that a specific heart disease can also indicate specific mental problems.

Thus, arterial hypertension is because of negative emotions that did not get an outlet (often because of suppressed aggression, which originates from fears).

Atherosclerosis (increased cholesterol and blocked channels) indicates that a person does not experience pleasure and joy from life. Such people are sure that the world around them is bad, and they try to fight it..

Psychological causes of heart disease identified by well-known authors in psychosomatics

Louise Hay believes that the heart symbolizes center of love and safety. In her opinion, heart disease leads old emotional problems, lack of joy, callousness, belief in the need for tension, stress.

Myocardial infarction, heart attacks, according to Louise Hay, are a consequence expelling all joy from the heart for the sake of money, career or something else.

Liz Burbo believes that any heart problems are a sign that a person takes everything to heart, what his efforts and experiences go beyond his emotional capabilities.

According to her, all heart diseases carry one important message for a person: “Love yourself!”. Hence, if a person has heart disease, then he does not love himself enough and tries to earn the love of others.

Bodo Baginski, a Reiki specialist, writes that tachycardia indicates emotional hindrance, about a violation of the usual order for a person, about the fact that something is out of balance.

According to the author, during a heart attack, a huge amount of aggressive, unexploited energy. A person needs to open his heart to himself and to others, and under this condition, a heart attack will not happen.

Narrowing of the heart vessels, according to Baginski, is always associated with fear.

Dr. V. Sinelnikov writes that the heart symbolizes the life center of a person, the ability to enjoy life, to live in harmony with oneself and the world around. Blood is a material symbol human soul, joy and vitality . Vessels are designed to deliver this joy and strength to every cell.

Sinelnikov believes that heart pain and angina arise from unsatisfied love for oneself, loved ones, the world around and Life itself.

People with heart pain have love deficit(both to yourself and to other people) because of long-standing resentment, regret, pity, jealousy, fear and anger. Such people close from love and joy, they are convinced that the world around them brings negativity and stress.

Violation of the heart rhythm, according to the doctor, means that a person strayed from his own rhythm of life.

Another well-known author, O. Torsunov, in his book "The Connection of Diseases with Character" writes that the condition muscle tissue heart depends on the presence of such qualities as kindness and peace in thoughts, emotions, speech and actions of a person. The health of the heart vessels is associated with gentleness and optimism. Heart valves will be healthy with tenderness, complaisance and love for work. Stability nerve tissues hearts give qualities such as optimism, trust in others and benevolent activity. The heart bag, according to Torsunov, receives strength from human stability and reliability.

Ways healing from heart pain due to nerves

In fact, there is only one way to heal pain in the heart. This path was hinted at or openly indicated by all the listed psychological reasons.

This way - opening the heart of love. Love for yourself, for loved ones, for people around you, for Life, for the World, etc. True, unconditional love.

And how could it be otherwise, if the heart is called to be a receptacle of Love, and in its absence, the heart begins to hurt. So you need bring love back because it used to be there.

Man is born with love in his heart. Just starting to lose it piece by piece since early childhood, “thanks” to family scenes full of hatred and contempt and the indifferent or cruel attitude of loved ones.

What to do now? If you are an adult, then look for ways to return Love, restore it in full in your heart or in the heart of your child (if we are talking about your sick child).

How? If we are talking about your heart, then confess your love to yourself, and with all seriousness: you are a particle of the Creator, unique, the only one in the whole world. As a son (daughter) of God the Creator, every person has the right to be loved. And above all, be loved by yourself. Otherwise, there is no way: how can you love another person (your neighbor) if a person does not know what it is to love (starting with himself) and who will love a person if he does not love himself?

True love starts in your heart and spreads around. True Love brings only Joy and Good, both to the person himself and to those around him. Because if the heart is filled with Love, then a person has no time to experience negative emotions. He lives, enjoying every moment. He feels only GRATITUDE for everything that Life gives him (and for the trials that make a person stronger, and for happy moments).

So, if you want to have a healthy heart, return Love and Kindness to your heart.

Of all the riches that you have in life,
What do you cherish and tremblingly keep,
Of all the treasures that you know how to appreciate,
Keep your heart in awe.

The heart is one of the vital human organs. Moreover, it is its physiological and energy center. Not surprisingly, many factors affect his condition, causing illness. One of the most common is coronary heart disease.

Physiological cause of ischemia- insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart. It enters the body along with the blood. But its inflow is disrupted due to a decrease bandwidth coronary arteries as a result of "sticking" on their walls of cholesterol.

In other cases, doctors diagnose other causes: endocrine disorders, vascular inflammation, allergies. But the latter is only 10% of total number reasons.

Unfortunately, today ischemia is one of the leading diagnoses in the CIS countries. Moreover, the disease has noticeably rejuvenated. If half a century ago this diagnosis was made to people of retirement age or close to it, now quite young people from 30 years old have heart problems.

Symptoms of ischemia include:

• squeezing pain in the area chest
• compressive pain behind or to the left of the breastbone
• 10-15 minute bouts of pain behind the sternum, radiating into left hand, less often in the neck and jaw, in most cases occur at night
• fatigue, swelling of the extremities, sweating

Modern medicine every year does everything possible to treat this disease, but the statistics of deaths is steadily growing. After all, doctors are already dealing with the investigation. And you need to look for the root cause. And it lies in our lifestyle, habits, character, attitude towards ourselves and life in general.

There are certain risk groups

First of all, they include people who:

• They have a genetic predisposition to the disease. These are those in which a heart attack was suffered by close relatives - parents, grandparents.
• They smoke. In smokers, doctors observe a stronger narrowing of the coronary vessels, which leads to poor blood supply.
• Have high blood pressure. People with hypertension have a thickening of the walls of the heart, which increases its need for oxygen. Since the heart cannot get enough oxygen, its endurance is greatly reduced.
• Overweight. It contributes to the development of atherosclerosis - the sticking of "bad" cholesterol to the walls of blood vessels, which leads to high blood pressure.
• They lead a sedentary lifestyle. This leads to metabolic disorders, which in turn provokes the occurrence of diabetes and obesity.

But one of the most powerful factors in the development of cardiovascular disease is chronic stress. Therefore, psychologists have long attributed heart disease to psychosomatic diseases.

After all, the heart is the center of human emotions and perceptions. It is not for nothing that so many statements testify to this: the heart “freezes” with joy, “stops” with delight, beats furiously with fear. It is not surprising that bearing so much different emotions, our heart often fails.

Today there is some collective image the person most prone to heart disease. Let's take a look at him.

Psychological portrait of a patient with ischemia

1. "Buttoned all the way". These are very reserved people. They do not show their emotions and experience everything inside themselves. They find it hard to build interpersonal relationships to get close to people. Especially to admit that they need someone. Such people very carefully hide their fears from others.

In the office sits a former military man, 40 years of service. Rank of Major General. This person is used to command and be restrained. Lives almost one job. Complains about appearing in recent times pain and pressure in the chest. It was very difficult for the client to change. In particular, not only to find time for rest, but also to enjoy it. Do not think at this time about work and responsibilities. But thanks to the phased systematic work, he managed. Although he did not come to the reception quite of his own free will: his wife begged.

2. Big boss. These are very ambitious and purposeful people. With great ambitions and a willingness to work hard until the result. They can achieve their goals at any cost. They tend to have very busy schedules and a stressful pace of life.

A 37-year-old man is sitting in front of the specialist. Director of a department of a large construction company. He is often tormented by arrhythmias and dull It's a dull pain in the region of the heart. “You see, doctor, my position is a tasty morsel for many in our company. If I do not cope with the tasks set, I will be transferred to another position or fired. And I can't let that happen. It took me too long to achieve this status.” This man, of course, did not quit his job. But thanks to the specialist, I learned how to respond correctly to working moments and the pain in my heart subsided.

3. compassionate person. Such people, on the contrary, are able not to withdraw into themselves, to express emotions. But they have another extreme - they pass everything through themselves. They can talk for a long time about their problems “savor” them. Moreover, they suffer not only their own troubles, but also those around them.

At the reception is a woman of pre-retirement age. The husband died a few years ago. Left a son and a daughter. The latter is not yet married, and the son likes to drink. “You know,” she admits. “I can’t help but think and worry about my children. My heart bleeds when I think about their problems.”

Of course, how many people, so many options. But they have one thing in common - they do not let joy and love into their lives, into their hearts. They close themselves from it with work, ambitions, anxiety for themselves and others. And this is fraught with all of the above problems.

Why is it so important to learn to feel and show love?

To understand this, one must turn to biochemistry. And she says that feelings of happiness, joy, love provoke the production of certain hormones in the brain. And they, in turn, trigger a whole chain of different reactions in the body, which have a very beneficial effect on it.

Yes, a hormone. oxytocin Reduces blood levels of those same notorious stress hormones. Hormones of happiness endorphins uplifting, soothing and relaxing.

Together with physical activity, a healthy diet, blood pressure control, this will be a good prevention of the development of cardiovascular diseases.

But sometimes it is difficult to change on your own: to acquire new habits, to understand the existing problems. In this case, a specialist will help - a medical psychologist or a psychotherapist. Together you will be able to sort out your problem “on the shelves” and prevent undesirable consequences in the form of an illness.

But what if the disease has already begun?

Pain in the heart, rhythm disturbance, hypertension - these are diseases that reflect a person's attitude to life, to the challenges that stand in his way. If drug treatment gives a weak result or does not help at all, it makes sense to consult a psychotherapist.

The woman sitting in the office is 45 years old. She has been suffering from high blood pressure for several years, and the pills do little to help. In the process of work, it turned out that her pressure began to “jump” when her husband changed jobs and became a truck driver. It was anxiety for her husband that gave rise to anxiety, the internal pressure of fear, which manifested itself in the form of an illness. After working with psychological attitudes, the woman stopped being afraid for her husband, and her pressure returned to normal.

A special category is made up of patients who have suffered a heart attack. They are often tormented by fears: what if the attack repeats? What if I can't recover? How will the disease affect family relationships? Will I be able to work as before?

Along with a cardiologist, the help of a psychotherapist in this case is very essential. How quickly a person recovers physically depends on the resolution of these issues. A psychotherapist in this case will help to cope with depression, overcome anxiety, panic, fear. And, ultimately, to help a person come to physical and mental health.

6 months ago

Previously, psychosomatics was considered as a direction in psychology. Through it, experts explained the origin of diseases. Psychosomatics is a direction that shows the influence of the psyche on the body. The disease manifests itself physically, which means that it is based on a mental illness that has been formed for a specific reason. It can be fear, lack of love or self-realization, unresolved problems, and others.

On the this moment medicine is not so categorical about psychosomatics, since in reality it is impossible to explain the origin of some ailments from the medical side. An example of this is the well-known "Chicago Seven" - a list of diseases that are considered primordially psychosomatic. This includes ischemic heart disease and hypertension.

From the point of view of psychosomatics, the heart is a symbol of love. If a person does not have heart disease, then he can love and receive love, live in joy. But if a person does not accept love for some reason, then this has a significant impact on the organ. The psychosomatics of the heart explains that it begins to work incorrectly, shrink into literally. This leads to the fact that a person becomes more rigid, cruel and heartless. And he begins the first pain in the heart.

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common psychosomatic diseases. It has long been proven that more often such ailments suffer from individuals who experience negative emotions, simply put, pessimists. Optimistic people can be calm, as they do not enter the risk zone.

This can also be explained from a physiological point of view. The more negative a person experiences, the higher his nervous overexcitation. Nerve endings, which are located throughout the body, transfer stress to all its parts. The sympathetic nerve plexus, which is located in the heart, especially suffers from nervous strain. It is also transmitted to the body, the functioning of which changes, which is manifested through various diseases.

Psychosomatics of heart pain

If your heart hurts, you should think not about going to the hospital, but about what provoked it. Possible cause why the heart hurts, maybe the lack of love or its lack.

Those who suffered from a lack of attention and manifestations of warm feelings considered themselves unloved. The same thing can happen in adulthood and the person may feel less loved or not loved at all. For the same reason, there is another, opposite concept - the rejection of love in exchange for career growth. Both those and others suffer the same way, which leads to diseases of the cardiovascular system.

People suffering from psychosomatic heart diseases are of the following types:

• Selfish hysterics;
• Neurasthenics with an unstable psyche;
• Suspicious psychasthenics.

The heart can hurt those who keep their emotions under control, those who take on someone else's pain and try to help everyone. Suppressed emotions lead to atherosclerosis, hypertension.

Cardiovascular diseases and psychosomatics

The most common ailments that are considered psychosomatic are:

• cardiac arrhythmia;
• Essential arterial hypertension;
• Cardiac neurosis;
• Tachycardia and angina pectoris;

The heart in psychosomatics is an organ associated with love. It is not for nothing that the loss of loved ones or the end of a relationship leads to the fact that the heart hurts. The reason for this is changes in the body at the physiological level. These changes also occur during times of fear, anger and longing.

During the release of adrenaline with the toxin, the blood vessels constrict, the heart rate increases, which leads to a feeling of fear and anxiety. Frequent vasoconstriction leads to pressure surges. It turns out that increased anxiety irreversibly leads to ailments of an important human organ.

Hostility is suppressed, and the suppression of any of your emotions negatively affects the state of the heart. Those people who take on all the difficulties and solve all the problems are slowly but surely moving towards arterial hypertension.

Frequent increased anxiety, which can occur for many reasons. A tense situation in the family, constant quarrels and showdowns lead to the formation high level anxiety. Then there is increased or decreased pressure, nausea and dizziness. These symptoms are very similar to coronary artery disease. Psychosomatics of myocardial infarction has the same causes and effects, but these are manifestations of cardiac neurosis. Its difference is that it can manifest itself in tandem with panic attacks.

Psychosomatic causes of arrhythmia

Failures in the work of the heart are the main sign that a person has lost his way in life. The only way out is to listen to yourself. Arrhythmia is a malfunction in the work of an organ for pumping blood, which for some reason has lost its rhythm. Perhaps this is due to a busy life, or imposed rules that are not to your liking. The psychosomatics of cardiac arrhythmia is also associated with the constant fuss and speed of life.

Fear and anxiety are constant companions of man. They take possession of it so much that the organ cannot stand it and goes astray from the usual rhythm. Such a person may experience constant jumps in the number of strokes. They can be both above the norm and below.

If you do not change the rhythm of life, then the heart may not be able to cope with a high load. And this doesn't just apply to adults. In children, arrhythmia is also observed. This happens from the parents overloading their child with a variety of circles and tutors, the expectations placed on them.

Tachycardia and psychosomatics

Tachycardia is often found not only in the elderly, but also in young people who are unable to control their emotions. Constant negative thoughts in the head, aggressiveness and the presence of fears lead to this disease.

Those suffering from angina pectoris are often clamped down and not ready to share their emotions, feelings and problems with others. Internal experiences and anxiety lead to an increase in heart rate, which interferes with normal life.

Angina pectoris and psychosomatics

Angina pectoris is characterized by a lack of blood in one part of the heart. It turns out that the body does not receive a certain amount of it, which then leads to ischemia. And if nothing is done further, then necrosis is guaranteed.

Dislike for yourself and others, lack of values ​​and dislike for your own life leads to such a terrible diagnosis. Such people are not sincerely interested in others, do not feel joy or pity. They are protected from the world by a thick wall.

Psychosomatics of pain in the heart, which is diagnosed as angina pectoris, can also occur in overly sensitive people. They are used to taking all the pain upon themselves.

How to treat

Treatment involves a psychotherapeutic and drug approach. Since the root of the problem is related to psychological problem, it is necessary to begin treatment at the psychotherapist. It will help the patient work through a long-standing problem, thereby relieving pain.

But since there are already consequences in the form of diseases, one cannot do without consulting a cardiologist. Prescribed medications will help eliminate unpleasant symptoms. It is not worth hoping for only one option, since to cure arrhythmia, the psychosomatics of which is associated with the wrong rhythm of life, a person will need to learn to love himself and others, to accept love, depending on the disease.

Prevention

If a person does not have signs of heart disease, this does not mean that the current lifestyle will not lead to getting one of them. Before it's too late, it's worth analyzing own life and solve problems with rejection of love, excessive aggression, the desire to take all troubles upon yourself and other signs. During the worked out problem will help to get rid of future diseases.

Deal with psychological basis any illness helps psychosomatics. The heart very often fails us, and the reason for this is not only plaques on the walls of blood vessels. We will omit the physiological causes, a medical doctor will help you with this, and consider what in the mind causes heart disease.

One of the main organs of our body is a powerful pump. If not you, then one of your loved ones probably experienced problems with him, which means that you understand that diseases of this kind have a very serious impact on health.

Hearts, we will start from common phrases that we often hear. Remember which of the expressions you mention, or which one is closest to you:

• don't take it too personally;
• I now have a stone on my heart;
• what to do, you can’t order your heart;
• I said it in my hearts;
• This news broke my heart.

Such expressions and those similar to them always indicate that a person gives himself too much than the world around him needs. Kindness, it would seem, cannot be negative quality, and yet, if you stop thinking about yourself in favor of others, then the heart will not stand it.

pain for others

There is even such an expression: "to love everyone - the heart is not enough." It indicates that a person cannot, with all his desire, give all of himself without a trace. This is exactly the case when being kind is bad for health. It's incredible difficult topic, because it's hard to understand how you can be kind, but not much? Or how to be selfish? Still, a balance must be sought, and it consists in the fact that a person with heart problems learns to take care not only of others, but also of himself.

Your heart is literally telling you that it cannot withstand the load, that it is hard for it, you need to stop. Wear and tear, even if it is for the good, does not bring benefits, but rather, on the contrary, wears out your heart.

Love needs to be shown to yourself, and we very often forget about this, because we were taught not to be selfish, more love show to others. But if you have been diagnosed with a heart disease or you are experiencing pain in your heart, then it's time to think about giving more love to yourself.

Imagine a runner. His goal is to run a marathon. To do this, he trains every day, gradually increasing the results. But what will happen to him if he, unprepared for difficult loads, tries to run a marathon on the first day of training? His heart can't take it.

Because of mental pain the same thing happens - you force yourself to worry about others, as if trying to run a marathon without preparation. Even when it comes to your children, parents or spouse, your heart must withstand pain and it can only do this if you do not take everything too close to your heart.

How to do it? How to stop worrying too much about your family? Understand that this is not about becoming cold-blooded and soulless. You will feel anxiety and fear for loved ones, but this will not harm your health.

You need to accept the fact that no matter how the fate of your loved one, it's his choice. Yes, this may concern you directly, you may be involved in the problem, and you may even have to answer for something that you did not do. And, nevertheless, you must find the strength in yourself to accept the choice of a loved one, even if he destroys his life (as a rule, this is what makes our heart hurt).

cold mind

In addition to a lack of self-love, which you can also talk about, you can be overly emotional and this is also an imbalance. If there are problems with the main organ of your body, then the balance is shifted towards emotions.

Being emotional is fine, but it is undesirable to make decisions solely with feelings. Your heart, if there are problems with it, indicates just that. We, as people, maintain a balance in our body between mind and feelings, this balance is constantly lost, but excessive distortion should not be allowed.

Emotions must respect the mind, just as your mind must sometimes obey the feelings. Try to look at the situation with more restraint, connect an inquisitive mind and rationality. If this is not enough for you or you need support, then ask the person next to you for advice, you will definitely have one - cold, prudent, acting reasonably. Learn from him a rational approach. By balancing the excess of emotions, you can get rid of the disease.

Here is what psychosomatics says. The heart is an important organ, do not forget to take care of it and do not neglect the advice of your doctor, as it is important to work on all fronts - both with the body and with thoughts.
