Cardiac neurosis: a psychosomatic disorder
The clinical term "Cardiac Neurosis" refers to a mental disturbance that involves the heart, a psychosomatic disease in which there is no evidence which suggests an organic disease. It is a nervousness that is referred to the heart or the pericardial region "due to the vast majority of cases and depression that comes in many forms.
The pain is atypical, "puncicate" or finger pressing, palpitations with feeling heart beat faster, sometimes only tachycardia; state of anxiety, panic attacks with face terrified and heart pounding, soaring blood pressure associated with state of anxiety, tingling lips or along the left arm.
Fear? Tanta. And this AC symptom that drives all those who are suffering from anxiety neurosis to have recourse first from their doctor and then by a cardiologist. Let there soon there is no misunderstanding:
- “ infarct cardiac pain is described as "a 'strong hand gripping the entire region of the heart, lasts longer than 30 minutes or less may radiate to the jugular (neck) or arms (most often the left)"
- So much for heart attacks earlier. Subsequent days (or infero-posterior) the pain mimics a high abdominal colic (peptic ulcer, gastric embarrassment after eating a lot, hepatic colic, pancreatitis acute, etc..): There is vomiting, stomach pain that lasts a long time..
- In the classical cardiac neurosis, i.e. in the condition in which there is nothing but organic only functional, pain is limited to a small area of the pericardial (so this may be given from the tip of the index) has raised by acupressure local no radiation, lasts a few minutes if not seconds.
