Ordinarily our heart beats 72 times in a minute and these beats are responsible for the circulation of blood in the whole body.When there is some disease of the heart these beats are increased in number.This is called palpitation.The beats are increased even without effect of the heart, for example, when there is anaemia anxiety, grief, loss of vital fluids, over indulgence, fear, shame, mortification, or drinking.During palpitation the patient is restless and anxious.To cure him the cause should be removed.

HEART ATTACK

The pain is not due to any defect in the heart itself but it is due to some defect either in the muscles or nerves of the heart.Smoking, drinking, worries or rheumatism are also its causes.A shooting pain starts suddenly in the left chest and travels up to the left shoulder and arm.Dyspnoea, restlessness, rapid breathing and cold sweats occur and sometimes the patient becomes unconscious.At the time of pain often a few drops of Amylnitrate are put on a handkerchief and placed at the nose of the patient.It gives relief.

BL00D PRESSURE

Nowadays there is much unnecessary propaganda of Blood Pressure.If any one feels a little headache he goes to his physician and asks him to check his blood pressure.Doctors too when they examine the patient, will check his blood pressure without fail, and will express anxiety about it, but the fact is that Blood Pressure is not a disease in itself but only a symptom of a disease.When our blood vessels veins and arteries become a bit stiff due to old age or disease of the heart, liver or kidney, the pressure in the blood vessels increases.Normally when the heart contracts the blood pressure is between 130-160 and 90-120 when it dilates.It is less when one is younger and high in old age.It is normally believed that one age plus 100 is his normal B.P.
Dull headache, heaviness of head even without pain, loss of sleep, dyspnoea, anguish and restlessness are some symptoms of B.P.It becomes normal after a disease of the heart, liver or kidneys is treated successfully.Sometimes lt rises due to anxiety, worry, loss in business, disappointment in love or due to failure in examination or defeat in elections etc.This rise is temporary and time cures it.

Ignatia and Acid Phos are its head remedies.
Mahatma Gandhi had B.P. but he took no medicines to keep, it down.He used to, take garlic and kept cold mud plaster on his head when there was a rise in his B.P.
Rest, reduction in the quantity of food, more drinking of water and keeping oneself free from worries are necessary to keep one’s B.P. normal.
