With the decline of physiological function, the psychological aspects of the elderly have also changed. Because their psychological balance ability is weakened, they will be emotionally unstable, sentimental, irritable, depressed and pessimistic, and over time, they will also induce coronary heart disease.
Keep a psychological balance, pay attention when you have high blood pressure, but don't be nervous. At ordinary times, we should maintain an optimistic mood, be contented and be happy, and pay attention to relieving mental stress and tension.
(2) Cultivate good personality and prevent coronary heart disease. For people with coronary heart disease or people with coronary heart disease tendency, it is very important to cultivate good mood, adjust bad psychology in time and do mental health care well. In an emergency, the total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, norepinephrine, adrenocorticotropic hormone and testosterone in the plasma of people with type A personality are all increased, which are closely related to the formation and development of coronary heart disease.
To cultivate a good character, the following methods can generally be adopted.
(1) Overcome impatience in daily life and work, so as to cultivate the quality of calmness. Therefore, we should establish a new set of behavior rules, such as the planning of behavior and the orderliness of work, so as to live and work regularly and form leisurely behavior habits, so as to get rid of impatient bad temper.
(2) To do anything, we should establish a reasonable and appropriate expected time for ourselves, and don't put too high demands on ourselves, so as not to cause psychological overload. Long-term psychological stress is too large, which leads to excessive excitement of sympathetic nerves and contraction of blood vessels in the body, which aggravates the burden on myocardium and, over time, can lead to coronary heart disease.
③ Do relaxation therapy. In the morning or at night, choose a quiet environment, sit in a comfortable position, put your hands on your legs naturally, close your eyes to calm yourself down and have the intention to fall asleep. Relax the muscles of the whole body, starting from the beginning and relaxing to the feet from top to bottom. Breathe through your nose consciously, say "one" silently when you exhale, relax naturally when you inhale, keep a certain rhythm 10 ~ 20 minutes, open your eyes to see the time (without alarm clock or other devices), then close your eyes and sit still for 5 ~ 10 minutes, and try to eliminate all distractions. Don't deliberately pursue immediate results, but practice in a natural manner according to the schedule, 1 ~ 2 times a day. When you are distracted in practice, you should try to focus on "one". Most people will feel calm and energetic after a period of practice.
(3) Establish good family and social interpersonal relationships. Being kind and helpful to others is the basis of establishing good interpersonal relationship and one of the important conditions for physical and mental health. First of all, we must maintain the love between husband and wife. Husband and wife relationship is the core of family relationship. Whether husband and wife love each other or not plays a decisive role in the mood and emotion of husband and wife and family.
Husband and wife will live together day and night and grow old together. Only by "knowing each other's appearance, not doubting each other", "caring for each other", understanding each other and caring for each other can we have affection, make the tree of love evergreen, avoid endless sadness, trouble and pain caused by disharmony or even breakdown of marriage, and induce and aggravate coronary heart disease.
Secondly, we should maintain harmony with all family members, including children, parents and relatives, communicate frequently, move around frequently and help more. At the same time, we should keep a harmonious relationship with our neighbors, colleagues and friends. Nerve regulation reaches the best state, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
(4) Correct treatment of coronary heart disease can improve the curative effect. Patients with coronary heart disease should first know their illness from doctors, analyze the causes of the disease, and learn medical knowledge at the same time, so as to understand their illness, eliminate their nervousness and fear, establish a psychological defense line to overcome the disease, and make themselves in a state of emotional stability and pleasure.
Clinical practice has proved that atherosclerosis can be relieved by drugs and some special treatments, and its clinical symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness and shortness of breath can also be completely relieved by correct treatment. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should establish confidence in overcoming the disease and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment. Good doctor-patient cooperation can often receive satisfactory treatment results.
(5) Self-mental health care is appropriate. Excessive emotional changes in patients with coronary heart disease will cause hypersensitivity, increased catecholamine secretion, enhanced cardiac activity, increased blood pressure L, increased cardiac output and increased myocardial oxygen consumption, thus inducing angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. Therefore, people with coronary heart disease should always pay attention to adjusting their psychology.
(1) Have a correct understanding of the disease and don't increase your mental burden. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
(2) Arrange your life reasonably, have a regular rhythm and relax. Actively participate in mild recreational activities, such as painting, fishing, planting flowers, raising birds, etc. Strengthen physical exercise suitable for your physical condition and illness, such as walking, jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, etc.
③ Strengthen moral and cultural cultivation, avoid bad emotional stimulation, confide troubles and unpleasantness to relatives and friends in time, divert attention when angry, and reduce anger.
(4) Be content, don't expect too much from people and things outside, and adapt to changes in the social environment.
(6) It is advisable to maintain a stable and optimistic mood. People's emotions have a great influence on diseases, especially on coronary heart disease. When people with coronary heart disease are emotional, it is likely to induce angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should try to avoid emotional excitement. Especially when unfortunate events happen at home, you should be especially calm, pay attention to rest, try to keep a good sleep, or engage in some light manual labor to distract your thoughts and relieve your worries and anxieties.
For patients with coronary heart disease whose condition is still unstable, it is best not to attend parties or watch cultural and sports competitions. If you have to attend because of work needs, you should also appropriately increase the frequency and dosage of taking medicine on the basis of taking medicine at ordinary times, and pay attention to maintaining a stable and optimistic mood.
When going out to participate in various activities, it is best to be accompanied by relatives and carry emergency medicine with you. Avoid drinking white wine, you can take water instead of wine for proper entertainment, and the party time should be limited.
(7) Young patients with coronary heart disease should overcome psychological barriers. Because of social reasons, the onset age of coronary heart disease is getting younger and younger. Young people with coronary heart disease are often hospitalized because of sudden acute myocardial infarction.
Young people have good physical fitness and recover quickly. Because of this, many young people show a "fearless" spirit towards diseases, thinking that the threat of death is far away from them, and they smoke and drink at will.
The main task of this kind of people in the recovery period is health education, changing their bad lifestyle and behavior and reducing the existence of risk factors. Some young patients also showed extreme fear and helplessness. Family members should provide patients with good psychological support, so that patients can understand that any disease can be treated and controlled, and a good psychological state is also an important condition for the rehabilitation of coronary heart disease.
