Disease description:

The day before yesterday, when I visited my mother, she mentioned that she had recently been experiencing unexplained palpitations and a fluttering sensation in her heart. After taking her to the hospital for examination, she was diagnosed with cardiac neurosis. May I ask, what should we do now?

Cardiac neurosis is a clinical syndrome primarily manifested by cardiovascular disease symptoms, caused by psychological issues or dysfunction of the nervous system. For this condition, the treatment strategy should primarily involve psychotherapy, supplemented by pharmacological therapy. Psychotherapy includes cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy, aiming to help patients adjust their mindset and alleviate anxiety and tension. Pharmacological treatment mainly involves the use of anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications, such as clonazepam, lorazepam, amitriptyline, etc., but must be used under a doctor's supervision. Additionally, patients should also focus on self-regulation, such as maintaining a reasonable schedule, engaging in appropriate recreational activities and traveling, and actively participating in outdoor group activities to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, maintaining a relaxed and pleasant mood and avoiding adverse factors such as excessive fatigue and noisy environments are also important components of the treatment process.
