So, what disease is myocarditis in this case?
Don't worry! This article gives you the answer.
What is myocarditis?
Myocarditis refers to localized or diffuse inflammation of myocardium. The etiology of acute myocarditis can be roughly divided into three categories: ① Myocarditis caused by infection of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses; ② Myocarditis caused by allergy or allergic reaction; ③ Myocardial damage caused by chemical, physical and drug toxicity. Among them, myocardial virus infection is the most common cause, and the obvious reasons are influenza virus and enterovirus infection. When virus infects myocardium, it can not only directly damage myocardium, but also cause myocardial cell damage through autoimmune reaction.
What are the symptoms of myocarditis?
The symptoms of myocarditis can vary from person to person, depending on the type and etiology of myocarditis. Symptoms may include:
Heart failure-in this case, the heart can't pump blood well. This will lead to:
weary
Decreased activity ability
Swelling of feet and legs
Dyspnea-continuous, only when active, or only when lying down.
● Chest pain
● Changes in heartbeat, such as accelerated heartbeat or "missed beat" of heartbeat.
Viral myocarditis is myocardial inflammation caused by viral infection involving the heart, which is more common in teenagers. The disease can be mild without obvious symptoms, and severe cases can be complicated with severe arrhythmia or even sudden death, so we should be highly vigilant!
Many patients with myocarditis are particularly nervous and at a loss. I don't know what to pay attention to in life. How to recover.
In fact, we should pay attention to these aspects in life:
1, restore and enhance immunity.
The occurrence of myocarditis is mostly caused by virus infection, so the most important thing is to prevent virus invasion, especially pay attention to respiratory tract and intestinal infection. For patients who are prone to catch a cold, friends should reduce the times of going out when the air is cold, and at the same time strengthen their own resistance to achieve the most direct rehabilitation effect.
Method 1: Pay attention to rest.
If it is an acute attack, stay in bed for 2-4 weeks, and rest for 2-3 months after the acute phase. Severe myocarditis with enlarged cardiac boundary needs to rest for 6- 12 months until the symptoms disappear and the cardiac boundary returns to normal. Myocarditis sequela people can live and work normally as much as possible, but don't read, work and stay up late for a long time to prevent myocarditis.
Method 2: Reasonable exercise
After the recovery period, you need to carry out gradual rehabilitation exercise under the guidance of a doctor to enhance your resistance. This is also the most important point in the recovery process of myocarditis! Need a exercise prescription!
Doctors of the Elephant Heart Health Platform will prescribe exercises suitable for individuals according to their physical strength and cardiovascular function. The form of prescription stipulates the exercise type, exercise intensity, exercise time, exercise frequency and bull's-eye rate, and puts forward the matters needing attention in exercise. So that patient with myocarditis can obtain good rehabilitation effect.
Method 3: Diet conditioning
Patients with myocarditis should pay attention to the contents of protein and vitamins in their diet, and eat more nutritious fruits and vegetables to ensure the full absorption of protein. This will be conducive to myocardial repair and eat less spicy food. In addition, the components in tobacco and alcohol will also directly affect the normal function of myocardium, so we should refuse the invasion of tobacco and alcohol.
2. To recover, "Don't be tired."
Many patients with myocarditis are in a state of tension, depression and anxiety, so they lose confidence in life. In fact, bad emotions always make people in a state of stress, and the level of stress hormones in the body remains high for a long time, causing internal environment disorder, increasing heart load and stimulating abnormal heart structure and function. If we don't intervene in time, it will lead to "depression due to illness and disease due to depression", which will eventually form a vicious circle.
3, to recover, don't take less medicine.
Taking medicine is an indispensable means on the road to recovery from all diseases, and in this process, we must take medicine scientifically according to the prescription of drugs, and we must not blindly abuse drugs, leak drugs or overlap drugs.
4, to prevent recurrence, to return.
Patients with myocarditis should go to the hospital regularly for reexamination, so as to grasp the development of the disease and facilitate future treatment.
Can myocarditis be cured and inherited?
Myocarditis is hereditary, and it is a self-limiting disease, and most of them have a good prognosis. After rest, treatment and regular follow-up by doctors, it can be cured. Only a few patients will develop chronic myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy.
Tips:
You can take chrysanthemum porridge, ginseng porridge and so on in your diet. You can take sun-dried ginseng and American ginseng according to your doctor's advice, which is beneficial to the recovery of myocarditis.
