Doc For PSVT - #5268

James

I’ve been dealing with episodes of rapid heart rate for a few months now. It comes out of nowhere and makes me feel dizzy and short of breath. After some tests, my doctor mentioned PSVT (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia). While I’ve been referred to a cardiologist, I wanted to know if there’s any Ayurvedic doc for PSVT who might offer natural solutions alongside conventional treatment. Does Ayurveda have specific herbs or treatments for managing PSVT symptoms like palpitations and dizziness? Are there relaxation techniques or dietary changes that can help? I’m curious if there are Ayurvedic approaches to strengthening the heart and calming the nervous system for someone with PSVT. If anyone has seen an Ayurvedic doc for PSVT or knows of effective treatments, I’d love to hear your experience. Are there any precautions or complementary therapies you’d recommend?

In Ayurveda, managing conditions like PSVT (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia) involves balancing the body's doshas, particularly calming vata (which governs nervous system functions) and balancing pitta (which influences heart function). Specific herbs such as Ashwagandha, Arjuna, and Brahmi are known to support heart health, reduce stress, and calm the nervous system. Techniques like deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can help regulate the heart rate and reduce anxiety. A diet rich in cooling, light foods can soothe excess pitta, while avoiding stimulants like caffeine and processed foods can prevent triggers. It is important to consult with both your cardiologist and an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure that any herbal or lifestyle interventions complement your conventional treatment and do not interfere with medications.

Dealing with PSVT can be really unsettling, I totally get it. Ayurveda offers holistic approaches that can supplement conventional treatments, but remember, it's important not to skip out on the appointments with that cardiologist. With PSVT, emergency intervention might be necessary sometimes, so keep that in mind. Now, about those herbal and lifestyle approaches. In Ayurveda, your symptoms sound like a bit of Vata imbalance, which often causes such palpitations and anxiety. **Ashwagandha**, for instance, is a popular herb that supports the nervous system and could soothe those racing heart moments. Take it in the form of powder or capsule, typically after meals, but it’s always best to start with small doses. Another useful herb is **Arjuna**. It's known for cardioprotective properties and might strengthen your heart function over time. Just brew it as a tea by boiling the bark in water, and sip it twice a day. No rush tho, start slow and observe how your body feels. As for the dietary changes, try to incorporate more cooling and hydrating foods like coconut water, cucumber, and pomegranate. They have that sattvic effect, calming both mind and body. Minimizing caffeine and spicy foods could help too, as they tend to kind of exacerbate heart palpitations. Breathing techniques such as **Nadi Shodhana Pranayama** (alternate nostril breathing) are also great. Just sit comfortably, take a deep breath and alternate your breaths through each nostril. It can be done anytime you feel those anxious palpitations coming. But again, these should be discussed with both your Ayurvedic and conventional healthcare providers to make sure everything jives together safely. Personal experience differs wildly, so focus on finding out what works best for you.
