Conduction System of the Heart - How Can Ayurveda Help with Irregular Heartbeats? - #16507
For the past six months, I've been experiencing weird episodes where my heart suddenly starts racing, then slows down unexpectedly. At first, I thought it was just anxiety or stress, but it kept happening even when I was relaxed. I finally went to a cardiologist, and after an ECG and some tests, they told me there was an issue with the conduction system of the heart. They explained how electrical signals in the heart control the heartbeat and how any disruption in this system can cause arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats. They said my symptoms could be linked to a mild conduction block, and while it’s not serious for now, I should monitor it. But I don’t want to just "monitor" it, I want to actually do something to fix it! They suggested beta-blockers, but I’ve heard they have side effects like fatigue and dizziness. I don’t want to start on heavy meds without exploring natural alternatives first. That’s why I wanted to ask – can Ayurveda help regulate the conduction system of the heart naturally? Are there any herbs or therapies that can balance the heart’s electrical activity and prevent these irregular beats? I’ve heard that Ayurveda focuses on improving circulation and reducing stress, which might help with this issue. Could diet and lifestyle changes also support the conduction system of the heart? Are there any specific breathing techniques or yoga practices that can stabilize heart rhythms? I also get occasional chest tightness and shortness of breath when this happens. Could it be related to weak digestion or excess Vata, as Ayurveda describes? If so, how can I correct these imbalances to support my conduction system of the heart? Looking for guidance on whether Ayurveda has solutions for restoring heart rhythm naturally and preventing any long-term heart issues.
