With the increase of work and life pressure, many people will have symptoms of palpitation. As a common arrhythmia, the incidence of atrial fibrillation is increasing year by year. How should atrial fibrillation patients be cared for?
Actively treat the primary disease. If the patient has palpitation and discomfort, an electrocardiogram should be performed first. Once it is determined that it is atrial fibrillation, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by other diseases. If atrial fibrillation is caused by other diseases, it is necessary to actively take corresponding treatment measures to control the primary disease. Patients with atrial fibrillation should monitor their heart rate and blood pressure frequently. If they have obvious palpitation, shortness of breath, discomfort in the precordial area, or drop in blood pressure, they should find out in time and go to the hospital immediately.
Patients with atrial fibrillation should be actively treated. Patients need to regularly review the ECG during medication to observe the changes in the ECG of atrial fibrillation. At the same time, pay close attention to its adverse reactions. Atrial fibrillation often does not lead to critical illness, but its complications are fatal danger. If atrial fibrillation is prone to thrombosis for a long time, if patients with atrial fibrillation suddenly experience symptoms such as inconvenience in physical movement, slurred speech, drooling, chest tightness, etc., they should be alert to the possibility of thrombosis falling off, causing embolism and heart failure, and should strengthen observation and go to the hospital in time check and deal with it early.
Atrial fibrillation patients should be absolutely bed rest during acute exacerbation. For the recovery of atrial fibrillation, it should be determined according to the time. It is best to carry out drug recovery with between 24 hours of the new attack. If the degree of the attack is relatively mild, appropriate activities can be carried out according to the condition of the primary heart disease and physical state. or rest.
Nursing care of atrial fibrillation disease is a long-term process that requires the support and understanding of family members, as well as the confidence and psychological preparation of patients to overcome the disease. Usually, atrial fibrillation patients with slow heart rate, if they need to go out, they must be accompanied by someone to prevent accidents.
Pay attention to diet and health. Patients with atrial fibrillation should eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins in their daily life; eat more fresh vegetables and fruits; do not smoke, drink less alcohol, drink less strong tea and coffee, etc.; avoid spicy and irritating foods. In patients with atrial fibrillation, if the heart function is poor and there is significant edema, sodium intake should be limited.
For patients with chronic persistent atrial fibrillation, their mood is more depressed, anxious, irritable. Those who have had a history of cerebral embolism are more likely to be pessimistic and depressed. When nursing, it is necessary to enhance their confidence in the treatment of diseases, eliminate ideological concerns and fears, overcome adverse psychological factors, maintain emotional stability and psychological balance, and actively cooperate with treatment in order to stabilize the disease.
Plus1Health has ECG recorder for ECG monitoring, screening for atrial fibrillation, and remote ECG solution, which can realize remote ECG monitoring, issue ECG in real time, and give doctor a diagnosis reference.
