The heart is the most important organ in the human body. Its structure is very delicate. The ailments of the heart are very complicated and serious. Therefore, when a heart disease is suspected, senior physicians should be consulted, here we are mentioning remedies of some common diseases of the heart. If given in the beginning they will arrest the diseases and give relief to the patient.
Palpitation
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 (poor blood ), 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 hand-kerchief and placed at the nose of the patient. It gives relief.
During the attack the pain is severe, rather unbearable. Take half a cup of hot water and dissolve 5 tablets each of Mag Phos 6x and Kali Phos 6x and administer spoonful doses every 5 minutes. This will relieve the pain. In case the fear of death, extreme restlessness and anguish, Aconite 1x or 3x drop doses should be given every 15 minutes.

Blood 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 the 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 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’s 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 it is 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.

Low Blood Pressure
In some disease the blood pressure falls below normal which is not good. Sometimes it falls due to worry and anxiety or in some debilitating diseases.
