It is important to remember the main thing: if there is pain in the heart area, this symptom should never be ignored and you need to see a doctor as soon as possible to get examined. Only a doctor, having found out the cause of heart pain, can prescribe the necessary treatment. In addition, your home medicine cabinet should contain medications for heart pain that can, if necessary, relieve discomfort.

Pain in the heart is not a disease in itself, but only a symptom that indicates a number of problems: from dangerous conditions when the heart muscle is affected, to diseases of organs that are in close proximity to the heart (lungs, bronchi, pleura, stomach, lymph nodes, ligaments, muscles, bones). But in any case, enduring chest pain and ignoring it is very dangerous. You definitely need to find out the reason!

B vitamins: side effects

Before the formula was figured out, vitamins were called letters of the Latin alphabet as they were discovered: A, B, C, D, and so on. Now they have rational names based on their chemical structure. Vitamin A is retinol, vitamin K is phylloquinone, vitamin B2 is riboflavin, vitamin PP is nicotinic acid, etc. But in the old fashioned way we call them “A”, “Be” and “Tse”... How could it be otherwise, because vitamins are our old friends! But how well do we know them?

They say that every doctor has his own “favorite” drugs. This is true. The doctor knows some medications better, prescribes them first and sometimes takes them himself. And each doctor has his own favorite vitamins, which he will most likely recommend to you.

But then we come to the pharmacy - and our eyes widen. They offer a sea of ​​vitamins in beautiful jars with bright labels! Entire shelves are occupied by them. But the doctor insisted on one single drug... Isn’t it better to buy THIS and THAT? Maybe the doctor hasn’t looked at the reference books for a long time? And the hand reaches out to the magic pills that catch your fancy.

But, wait, let's remember what the doctor advised. Do you know which vitamins doctors love especially dearly? Of course, B vitamins.

Why are they so popular with doctors?

The thing is that great hopes were placed on them in the eighties of the last century: it was believed that B vitamins reduce the level of homocysteine ​​in the blood - an amino acid, the high level of which is directly related to heart and vascular diseases. Many studies have been conducted in different countries, and as a result, the effectiveness of these vitamins was considered ambiguous: “50 to 50.” Indeed, when patients take more effective medications, “vitamins” play only a supporting role. But doctors continue to prescribe them for various cerebrovascular pathologies (diseases of the blood vessels of the brain). Additional help for the body is not a hindrance, right?

Yes, modern, effective and inaccessible to most patients due to their high price, drugs act much faster. And of course, “vitamin therapy” is not so effective. But almost all drugs have a “dose-dependent” (the higher the dosage, the better) and a “chrono-dependent” (the longer the drug is taken, the longer the positive dynamics persist) effect.

At the same time, the undeniable advantage of vitamins is the price. When prescribing a drug, a doctor can be sure that the medicine will be taken as long as needed and will not empty the patient’s wallet. Many doctors, when prescribing group B, focus on this.

Get to know everyone by sight

You know the basic B vitamins for sure. These are the well-known B1, B6 and B12:

• B1
  – (thiamine) actively participates in metabolism, restores peripheral nerve endings that regulate the functioning of the liver and heart.
• B6
  – (pyridoxine) strengthens the immune system, has a beneficial effect on skin diseases, and restores the nervous system. According to some data, 80 mg of vitamin B6 per day reduces the risk of myocardial infarction by 32%.
• B12
  – (cyanocobalamin) has a beneficial effect on the function of the liver and nervous system, and is involved in the restoration of metabolism. Vitamin B12 is effective in treating chronic fatigue syndrome in 50–80% of people.

But their less famous brothers deserve attention too.

• B2
  – (riboflavin) participates in metabolism, strengthens the respiratory system, improves vision, cures skin diseases, and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the nervous system.
• B3
  – (nicotinic acid) cures pellagra, improves water-salt metabolism, improves metabolism in the cells of the nervous tissue.
• B9
  - (folic acid, folacin, vitamin Bc) is extremely important for the development of the brain and nervous system of the fetus, it is also needed for the development of a breastfed child, and for adults, primarily for the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Do you get the general idea? Right! B vitamins are essential for diseases of the nervous system. Which of us has “nerves” in order? Now my head hurts, now my irritability has increased, now my back is “shot”, now I have problems with my memory...

B vitamins are called “neurotropic” because of their effect on the function of nerve cells. Some studies have shown high activity of this group in terms of pain relief in chronic pain syndromes and increasing the pain threshold in acute pain. Currently, more than a hundred studies have been published showing clinical improvement with the use of B vitamins in patients with pain syndromes.

When do B vitamins help?

Vitamins of this group are especially often prescribed to patients with back pain. Once you see a doctor with the complaint of “your back is stuck,” “shot in the air,” or “arm/leg is numb,” a prescription with the treasured trinity (B1+B6+B12) will be in your hands. Why? Because it has been repeatedly proven that it is these “magic” vitamins that influence nerve cells coming from sensitive receptors to the brain, as if “inhibiting” pain impulses.

If the nerve fiber itself, consisting of hundreds and thousands of processes of neurons (nerve cells), is damaged, then their successful “restoration” requires the same vitamins that work, laying proteins like bricks to recreate the fiber shell.

However, many neurologists remain skeptical about their therapeutic potential, believing that in many cases there is a placebo effect. The fact is that no one has ever been able to achieve a 100% effect in treatment when prescribing vitamins alone. Therefore, if you have back pain, consult a doctor, he will select the right combination of medications for you, including the B-complex.

In 2000 and 2002, the American Psychiatric Association published research in the American Journal of Psychiatry showing the effect of vitamin B12 deficiency on the occurrence of clinical depression in elderly patients. For many of them, antidepressants were not indicated, so vitamin complexes paired with diet and exercise gave good results. Given these data, many doctors began to actively prescribe B-complexes for the treatment of depression and achieve results.

Other studies have shown that pregnant women consuming foods rich in folic acid or taking adequate doses of folic acid and vitamin B12 significantly reduce the risk of developing neural tube defects. This is also the “gold standard” of pregnancy management throughout the world.

B1 deficiency also plays a big role in the development of alcoholic polyneuropathy, which in Russia is one of the most common forms of generalized damage to peripheral nerves.

The only questionable purpose of this group is still asthenic conditions, such as the notorious “chronic fatigue syndrome”. Too many diseases can be hidden under the guise of this seemingly innocent diagnosis. The man is tired... stress, lack of sleep and irregular nutrition have taken their toll. Take some vitamins and everything will go away? And they drink! Handfuls and kilograms!

...And we face the risk of overdose

When consuming excessive doses (three or more times the recommended daily intake) of B vitamins, intoxication develops. Hypervitaminosis of vitamins B1, B2 and B6 can cause fatty liver. Among the elements of group B, the most toxic are B6 and B12. And allergic reactions are observed mainly with their excess, as well as with an overdose of vitamins B1 and B2.

Thus, an excess of vitamin B1 causes symptoms in the form of allergic reactions and spasmodic headaches. Blood pressure decreases, fever, weakness, nausea appear, vomiting may occur, chills are replaced by a feeling of heat, tinnitus bothers you, severe sweating and dizziness appear.

With prolonged use of vitamin B6 in excess dosages, anemia develops, coordination of movements is impaired and numbness of the limbs appears.

Excess vitamin B12 leads to heart failure, pulmonary edema, vascular thrombosis due to increased blood clotting and anaphylactic shock. The heartbeat quickens, pain appears in the heart area, nervous disorders intensify, and allergic rashes appear on the skin in the form of hives.

As you can see, caution is needed even with such seemingly harmless drugs as vitamins. Therefore, it is best to consult a doctor for advice. And he will definitely tell you everything he knows about his “favorite” vitamins.

What kind of heart pills are there?

The most important rule: pills for heart pain should be prescribed exclusively by a doctor who knows your diagnosis. It happens that you have to take several medications with different active ingredients. All pills for heart pain are divided into several groups.

1. Nitrates.
   Such drugs help if the heart hurts due to angina pectoris; they are prescribed to people who have had a heart attack. Nitrates dilate blood vessels and reduce blood pressure, therefore they are prohibited for hypotensive patients when there is a suspicion of cardiac tamponade, collapse and shock.
2. Peripheral vasodilators.
   These heart medications improve blood circulation by dilating blood vessels. Prescribed to slow the development of chronic heart failure. Contraindications: childhood and tendency to edema.
3. Sedatives and reflex agents.
   Such medications are prescribed if pain in the heart has a stressful cause, caused by cardioneurosis, VSD. Such drugs for heart pain should not be taken by children, hypotensive patients and people with cerebral circulation problems.
4. Beta blockers.
   These remedies for heart pain are indicated for people with hypertension. The dosage of beta blockers is determined strictly by the doctor and they are taken over a long course. Contraindications: shock and slow pulse.
5. Calcium channel inhibitors.
   Similar heart medications are prescribed to people recovering from a heart attack, as well as for ischemia and arrhythmias.
   For AV blockade, calcium channel inhibitors are prohibited. Read also: Popular drugs for lowering cholesterol Top 5 drugs for lowering cholesterol levels in the blood.

Vitamins and vitamin-like compounds for the heart

1. Ascorbic acid (vit). Strengthens metabolic processes, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and prevents the formation of excess cholesterol. In addition, it protects the nervous system from stress, which, as is known, affects all organs and systems. Contained in apples, rose hips, black currants and many others. The daily requirement is 100 milligrams.
2. Tocopherol (). Inhibits lipid oxidation, cleanses free radicals, reduces blood viscosity, facilitating its transport through blood vessels. Contained in egg yolk, walnuts, almonds, liver, vegetable oils. The daily requirement is 10 milligrams.
3. routine(). Reduces the permeability and fragility of blood vessels, restores their elasticity. Due to these properties, food products and dietary supplements (Ascorutin) containing vitamin P are prescribed for increased bleeding. Natural sources: raspberries, apples, citrus fruits, chokeberry fruits. The daily requirement is 40 milligrams.
4. Thiamine (). Stimulates the contraction of the heart muscle, maintains it in an elastic state, and normalizes the rhythm. A lack of vitamin B1 in the body is accompanied by painful sensations, arrhythmia, shortness of breath, and attacks that prevent the heart muscle from working smoothly. Natural sources: cereals, coffee beans.

Injection preparations containing vitamin B1: “Cocarboxylase”, “Passilate”, “Thiamin chloride”. The daily requirement is 2 milligrams.

1. Niacin (). Dilates blood vessels, relieves their spasm, prevents the formation of blood clots, lowers blood pressure (BP), and protects against heart attacks. Niacin is found in fish, eggs, legumes, chicken, green peas, liver, and kidneys. The daily requirement is 20 milligrams.
2. Pyridoxine (). Normalizes fat metabolism, regulates blood pressure, participates in the formation of blood cells. B6 removes excess cholesterol, prevents blockage of blood vessels, protects against stroke, heart attack, and atherosclerosis. Contained in dairy products, fish, meat. The daily requirement is 2 milligrams.

Pyridoxine, thiamine, cyanocobalamin are included in the drug "Milgamma", which has a complex effect on the body and is indicated in the treatment of diseases of the cerebral vessels and cardiovascular system.

1. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (). There is an opinion that all triglycerides are harmful to the body. However, this is a myth. Linolenic, linoleic, and arachidonic fatty acids are essential for heart function. They form the basis of cell membranes, giving them flexibility, ensuring the functioning of the heart muscles.

In general, vitamin F is used as an energy source that lowers cholesterol and harmful fats in the blood. It reduces the load on the heart, prevents the formation of plaques in blood vessels, and improves heart rhythm. Natural sources: vegetable oil, seafood.

For normal heart function, the minimum dose of omega-3 intake is 1 gram per day.

1. Coenzyme Q10. The largest amount of the substance is concentrated in the heart muscle. Coenzyme is involved in the synthesis of molecules that are responsible for energy transport. Without these “carriers”, heart contraction is impossible. The amount of coenzyme Q10 in the human body gradually decreases with age and by the age of 60 it is 50% of the limit value. Due to a lack of coenzyme, heart failure develops.

A vitamin-like substance exhibits antioxidant properties, protecting the body from the oxidative effects of free radicals, and also improves the nutrition of the muscle organ. Lack of Q10 causes heart rhythm disturbances, arterial sclerosis, and premature aging of the myocardium.

In the human body, coenzyme is synthesized from vegetable fats in the liver, supplied with food. The daily requirement starts at 30 milligrams and increases with age to 100 milligrams.

1. Amino acid L-carnitine. Burns excess fat, turning it into energy for the heart, without which the functioning of the organ is impossible. Therefore, people with cardiovascular diseases are in great need of carnitine. In addition, the amino acid reduces the level of bad cholesterol and fat in the body, which lead to the formation of plaques and the development of hypertension. L-carnitine moderately lowers blood pressure and is recommended as a food supplement (“Lamin”). The daily dose is 500 milligrams.
2. Lecithin (translated from Greek as “egg yolk”). It is the main vehicle for delivering nutrients to the heart. Lecithin keeps cholesterol in a dissolved state, preventing its deposition on the walls of blood vessels. In addition, “egg yolk” stabilizes the level of fat in the blood and increases hemoglobin.

Indications for use: coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, heart failure, hypertension, cardiomyopathy (prevention and treatment). It is especially important to use the compound after a heart attack or stroke. This is due to the fact that during the recovery period, heart tissue experiences an increased need for lecithin. Its deficiency slows down the delivery of vitamins and nutrients to the cells of the damaged organ. The daily requirement is 6000 milligrams.

Remember, the largest amount of lecithin is concentrated in the heart. Therefore, the health of the organ directly depends on the quantity and regularity of intake of this component.

According to experts, plant lecithin obtained from soybeans is much more effective than animal lecithin obtained from chicken eggs.

Causes of heart pain

Without an examination, it is impossible to determine the exact cause of heart pain. Moreover, pain on the left side of the chest does not always mean problems with the heart - these can be organs located next to the heart, and even far from it (abdominal organs).

Potential causes of heart pain include conditions that require urgent hospitalization and problems that can be treated at home (after examination and diagnosis, of course).

The most common causes of cardiac and extracardiac pain:

• acute diseases of the heart or blood vessels;
• angina pectoris (stable or unstable), when the heart hurts at rest or during exercise;
• acid reflux (reflux of acid from the stomach into the esophagus), heartburn, GERD;
• muscle damage or strain, bone diseases (sternum, ribs, vertebrae);
• osteochondrosis;
• diseases of the respiratory system.

The most serious condition for heart pain is, of course, a heart attack. In addition to excruciating pain in the heart, a person experiences shortness of breath, severe weakness, a feeling of fear, and cold sweat. If you have heart pain, you do not need to use home remedies for pain (especially if you did not have such heart pain before or it has become more severe, with new symptoms). Consult your doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

How to strengthen your heart in old age with moderate exercise

Unfortunately, sick people often know more about the benefits of health. But it is always better to prevent heart problems by consciously working on strengthening your striated muscles. The best means for this will be physical exercises, which are performed taking into account certain rules.

1. You should train regularly, keeping equal intervals between classes. It is better if they take place at least 2 times a week.
2. The workout should last 60 minutes and include a variety of activities and intensity levels.
3. It is better to do physical exercise in the fresh air. If this is not possible, there should be natural ventilation in the room where classes are held. Exercise should stimulate ventilation of the lungs. Such measures will provide the necessary aerobic load for the entire body, which allows lactic acid to be completely oxidized in the tissues, which reduces the contractility of muscles, including the heart.
4. When thinking about how to strengthen the heart in old age, in addition to physical education, which has a positive effect, you should also get rid of the negative effects: smoking, lack of sleep, aggression and stress.

Symptoms of a heart attack

You should call an ambulance for the following symptoms of myocardial infarction:

• pain in the heart radiates to the jaw, neck, arm;
• shortness of breath appeared;
• nausea began;
• clouding of consciousness;
• my skin was covered in cold sweat.

By the way, women experience severe chest pain during a heart attack less often than men. Usually they have a feeling of tightness in the chest, tightness, nagging pain.

The heart may also hurt due to angina. What is angina? This is acute pain in the heart due to narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. This condition also requires urgent medical attention.

Among the German dietary supplements for the heart, products from Doppelhertz are also represented.

Of these, the Cardio System 3 complex deserves special attention, which includes soy isoflavones, minerals, vitamins, and lycopene. Let's take a closer look at the action of those components that we have not yet talked about:

• Soy isoflavones help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. They can also keep the arteries more elastic and, as a result, reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis.
• Zinc, which is known to many as a key component for strengthening the immune system, also has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. The fact is that zinc plays a key role in the entry of calcium ions into heart cells. What does this affect? Excessive amounts of calcium affect the development of processes leading to heart failure and arrhythmia.
• Selenium helps maintain the elasticity of the vascular wall. It is also important as part of complex therapy to prevent hypertension and blood clots.
• Chromium helps normalize blood pressure and has a positive effect on the condition of blood vessels.

Why does the heart suffer?

Causes of CVD development:

• sedentary lifestyle;
• deficiency of macro- and microelements, vitamins;
• stressful situations;
• lack of sleep;
• uncontrolled use of painkillers such as Validol, Corvalol, Nitroglycerin, which serve as a whip for the muscle;
• alcohol abuse, smoking;
• burdened heredity;
• excess body weight;
• systematic overwork;
• high blood pressure;
• unbalanced diet.

As a result, under the weight of excessive loads, the diligent worker - our heart - begins to malfunction and can refuse to work at any moment. This increases the susceptibility to the development of attacks of angina, thrombosis, stroke, varicose veins, arrhythmia, fibrillation, extrasystole, endo-, myo- and pericarditis, arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiosclerosis, ventricular or atrial hypertrophy.

The consequences of these pathologies are loss of ability to work (partial, complete), disability or death. To avoid such a serious outcome, you should maintain your heart function throughout your life: eat foods and take nutrients that contain a set of beneficial vitamins and minerals for our heart.

Corvalol

Corvalol for the heart is available in drops and tablets and is sold without a prescription. The active ingredients of the drug for the heart are ethyl bromizovalerianate, phenobarbital and peppermint oil.

How to strengthen the heart in old age using folk remedies

Strengthening tea made from hawthorn, rosehip and sea buckthorn

Even mono-drinks made from hawthorn or pure rosehip alone can strengthen the heart muscle.

And if you brew tea from three ingredients at once, you can simultaneously nourish, tone and cleanse your blood vessels.

For a general strengthening drink, you will need dried fruits, taken in equal proportions. It is ideal if the fruits are harvested independently. But a pharmacy or market option is also suitable.

If sea buckthorn is purchased fresh or frozen, you need to squeeze the juice out of it before brewing.

For brewing, you can prepare in advance a mixture of fruits taken in equal quantities and place them for storage in a linen bag or glass jar. The components can also be stored separately, taking approximately 1.5 tsp. each of them immediately before brewing. When using the prepared mixture, you need to brew 2 tbsp. l. for 250 ml of boiling water.

After the fruits are filled with water, they need to be infused for 20 minutes and strained. You can sweeten the drink with a teaspoon of honey. The decoction should be consumed 2 times a day.

Vitamin mixture MILOC

One of the most famous general strengthening and immunomodulatory folk remedies is named after the first letters of its components: honey, raisins, lemon, nuts and dried apricots. This mixture is rich in potassium and vitamin C, which the heart needs so much. Having prepared such a remedy, you don’t have to wonder how to strengthen the heart in old age for a long time.

To prepare the mixture, you need to take 200 g of each of the listed ingredients. Bulk components can be weighed upon purchase. One large lemon weighs just about 200 g. And you will need about 3/4 cup of honey.

The type of nuts does not matter much. The ideal option would be walnuts.

At the beginning of cooking, raisins and dried apricots are poured with warm water and set aside. After the dried fruits have softened, they need to be dried on a paper towel.

Lemon is cut in half and into slices. Be sure to remove all the seeds.

All solid components should be minced through a meat grinder, honey should be added to the resulting puree and stirred thoroughly. The finished mixture is placed in a jar with a lid.

To prevent diseases and strengthen the heart, take 1-2 teaspoons of the product three times a day, half an hour before meals. The mixture can be washed down with tea.

Additionally, you can add prunes, pumpkin seeds and a spoonful of cocoa. It turns out to be a very tasty and healthy delicacy.

Viburnum with sugar or honey

Viburnum berries contain a whole range of different vitamins, which makes them popular for treating colds and other diseases.

The most valuable component in viburnum is the glycoside viburnin, which gives the berries a peculiar bitter taste. It is this element that is necessary to support the heart muscle.

The bitter taste, of course, is compensated by the beneficial properties of viburnum, but to reduce its manifestation, the berries can be poured with boiling water before consumption. Another way is to mix viburnum with honey, which will preserve all the beneficial qualities of the berry, but at the same time reduce the bitterness. In addition, this mixture is very convenient to store.

To prepare a healthy mixture, you need to wash and dry the berries, and then pass them through a meat grinder. Honey or sugar is added to the resulting slurry in equal proportions.

It is recommended to eat 1 tablespoon of this mixture several times a day.

Lemon-garlic mixture

This one is from the Bulgarian seer Vanga, who probably knew how to strengthen the heart in old age. The product helps to effectively clean blood vessels.

To prepare you will need 10 lemons, 10 heads of garlic and 1 liter of honey. The garlic needs to be peeled. The lemon is cut into slices, the seeds must be removed from the pulp. Then everything is scrolled in a meat grinder. Honey is added to the resulting puree. The finished mixture should be left for a week in a dark place, and then consumed 2 tablespoons in the morning.
