How Important Is the Heart?

The heart has found its way into many idioms and collocations: people may be good at heart, heartless, soft-hearted or hard-hearted; you may eat your heart out, eat to your heart’s content because you have a hearty appetite, or you may have your heart in your mouth; and you may know, learn or say something by heart. This central role of the heart is probably due to the fact that the heart responds very sensitively to emotions, beating faster and stronger when we are excited (be it for joy or otherwise). Moreover, a well functioning heart is crucial to survival (although many other organs are just as vital). However, the heart is also the leading cause of death in many industrialized nations. This is why heart symptoms may be a cause for great anxiety and, therefore, should be medically evaluated.

What Is the Role of the Heart in Holistic Medicine?

Holistic health care providers see more than an organic disease process in cardiovascular disorders. They also take account of problems a patient may have with handling their own emotions (suppressed emotions, lack of zest for life, failure to accept and love oneself, lack of insouciance).

Why Is Cardiovascular Disease on the Rise in Many Countries?

This is mainly due to unhealthy, fast-paced lifestyles including relentless pressure on the job, smoking, eating diets high in fat, lack of physical activity and mostly sedentary jobs. All of these factors combine to put an unhealthy strain on the heart and blood vessels, eventually resulting in cardiovascular malfunction and disease.

See Your Health Care Provider

Heart symptoms may be signs of a serious underlying disease. So be sure to see your health care provider to rule out organic disease and/or to establish psychosomatic causes. When in doubt, always consult a doctor or experienced health practitioner for a proper diagnosis and adequate management of your heart problems.

What Are Nervous Heart Symptoms?

The heart responds very sensitively to emotions. People in stressful situations are therefore at particular risk of nervous heart symptoms. Patients may typically complain of

• a sensation of pounding or fluttering in the chest
• an abnormally rapid heart beat
• extra beats
• a stabbing sensation in the heart
• anxiety and tightness of the chest
• a sensation as of a lump in the throat

What Can I Do If I Have Nervous Heart Symptoms?

Review your lifestyle. Ensure a balance between work, play and rest, getting enough sleep and outdoor physical activity.

→ Avoid alcohol, nicotine and coffee if at all possible.
→ Make a point of taking a break in stressful situations whenever possible.
→ Learn a relaxation technique, such as autogenic training.
→ Talk to your health care provider about natural treatment methods.
→ Take the following words by Father Oetinger, a famous 18th century German clergyman, to heart:

„Give me the ability to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can change, and the wisdom to tell the two apart.“

“At night I often lie awake and hear my heart beat up to my neck.”

 

“I am no longer up to physical exertion like I used to and experience such a tightness of the chest.“

 

What Natural Remedies Are There for the Treatment of Nervous Heart Symptoms?

Once your health care provider has established that your heart symptoms do not necessarily need to be treated with chemical (synthetic) drugs, you may want to give a valuable natural remedy a try: RYTMOPASC®.

RYTMOPASC® is a cardioactive homeopathic combination remedy of plant-derived ingredients appreciated by many patients for providing effective control of nervous heart symptoms such as pounding heart and abnormally rapid heart beat.
