Do not cold as myocarditis

Cold is the most common infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, and may cause a variety of infections. That is a very common cold, but the vast majority of patients with a few days to two weeks can be self-healing, so difficult to arouse people's attention.
In fact, the cold sometimes many complications can occur, particularly influenza disease may be the precursor for other symptoms. For example, the incidence of viral myocarditis, has only performance for the general flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body pain, and throat-ache, cough, about 1 to 3 weeks after symptoms appear, lightheadedness, heart palpitations, chest pain and other discomfort, like last time checked at the hospital, may be found in heart expand, ECG can be expressed as arrhythmia, myocardial injury, a blood test can be increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, aspartate aminotransferase activity increased.
As technology conditions, the diagnosis of viral myocarditis relying mainly on history, clinical symptoms, signs, ECG, X-ray inspection and enzymology. Most patients with viral myocarditis in addition to chest tightness, heart palpitations and other symptoms, accompanied obvious malaise, easy sweating, dizziness, mild flu activities that dyspnea; a few severe patients can be serious arrhythmias, heart failure , cardiogenic shock, and very causing sudden death.
Therefore, in the cold shortly after emerging lightheadedness, heart palpitations, chest pain, chest tightness, dyspnea, fatigue, dizziness and other symptoms people should be vigilant against the possible occurrence of myocarditis, must not be complacent and need to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Because of viral myocarditis There is no special treatment, the efficacy of drug resistance are not sure that the general symptomatic treatment. However, Chinese medicine is effective treatment myocarditis, worth a try.
Viral myocarditis most important treatment is rest. Animal experiments proved to mice infected with the virus caused myocarditis, if it is not driven by stopping activities, the results almost spared death, and if the rest, the majority can continue to survive. Thus, for the rest of viral myocarditis the prognosis is very important. If the acute phase has not been closed, and some may be left over from the premature beat, and other side effects, can be deferred for a small number of people with chronic cardiac disease. So after flu symptoms palpitation vigilance must be further inspections as soon as possible to go to the hospital and not as common cold and complacent. To prevent virus infection, and reduce the incidence of viral myocarditis, should attach importance to physical exercise, myocardial increase the capacity of resistance pathogenic factors. Laoyijiege must pay attention to their daily lives, rational nutrition and ensure adequate vitamin, especially a rich C and vitamin B1.
