Atrial Fibrillation - Ayurvedic Herbal treatment

Atrial fibrillation (Af) is a health in which the upper two chambers of the heart, called the atria, beat chaotically and irregularly, resulting in an irregular and often rapid heart rate that causes poor blood flow to the body. The heart rate in Af may range from 100 to 175 beats a minute. Base symptoms contain palpitations, weakness, light-headedness, confusion, breathlessness and chest pain. Af can be either sporadic, in which case it is called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, or chronic. Potential causes of Af contain high blood pressure; heart attacks; old heart, lung or metabolic diseases; viral infections; sleep apnea; or exposure to stimulants such as medications, caffeine, tobacco and alcohol. Old age, a house history, a history of heart and other persisting conditions, and alcohol use are risk factors for Af. Atrial flap is very much similar to Af with respect to symptoms, causes and risk factors, but the heart rate in this health is much slower.

Atrial Fibrillation - Ayurvedic Herbal treatmentWhat causes atrial fibrillation? Tube. Duration : 0.85 Mins.

Atrial fibrillation can be caused by a number of different things, but it's generally caused by something which stretches the upper two chambers of the heart. In particular, the left upper chamber of the heart. If it's subject to stress, if it's stretched, atrial fibrillation can occur. When the upper chambers of the heart are stretched, they become sort of ticklish and they start to quiver. So, patients who have atrial fibrillation will often times have high blood pressure or a leaky heart valve or a combination of those things and cause the upper chambers to become stretched and that's what causes atrial fibrillation. In many patients, atrial fibrillation occurs for unknown reasons. Those patients are called "lone atrial fibrillators."They have lone atrial fibrillation and in those patients, there is no obvious identifiable cause for A Fib. They just have it.
