constipation and heart

quite a few patient will complain of persistent constipation before as well as after heart surgery. heart surgery ,any for that matter is a stressful situation and resultant stress causes constipation as well as acidity.

the whole some approach to heart disease is a welcome move then.not only the body needs to under go physical repair in form of surgery but also mental,economical, spiritual ,emotional health needs to be considered and like wise treated.

few days after the surgery it is not uncommon to subject the patient to stool softeners and few cases even enema.the situation can worsen in a few patient requiring surgery for fissure in ano ,etc.


if any portion of the wheel is  uneven the cycle of health will not be running in good condition.every effort need s to be taken to balance out this wheel of life and its various aspects.


certain remedies can be prescribed for constipation.

drink  plenty of oral fluids
drink a glass full of warm water early morning as soon as one wakes up
timely and balanced diet .
fruits and vegetables to be increased share in every day diet .
some form of stretching activity such as yoga can help
stress is a major causative factor in constipation , meditation can help in calming nerves .

Team work and Heart

heart surgery is a team work effort.single handedly any job undertaken cannot achieve its destination unless there is team effort from whole team.

suppose the team is not cohesive with the surgeon in patient management ,the outcome is not good in patient's favour.


any untoward incidence can take place in day to day practise of cardiac surgery.

the entire team should be well equipped to handle the emergency without any hinderances.
it should be smooth sailing for the patient as well as team.

the good outcome of the patient is our goal. there should be a leader in a given situation and all others should follow his or her directives regardless of the their current status without any reluctance.

there is a tendency when two human minds are involved in a situation the solution lies in sharing of work adequately .sharing of available resources to meet demands is the most viable option rather than burning own fingers in the process,just to prove supremacy.

any procedure can be undertaken single handedly also shared with the team mates.if a given situation is handled single handedly ,in long run it can prove disastrous for his  health.

protocol based approach to any problem can reduce the stress and ambiguity in any given situation . 

goal based approach can further help . 

economics of heart

the close association of heart health and money cannot be overemphasized.you have money ,lots of it , you can ask for best of heart treatments available on the shelf.the emergence of issues relating to treatment and prolongation of the same need to be taken into account while deciding .

 we are not taught about money matters in our school curriculum and there is a gap in meeting the requirement of money. we read about large pay packets being doled out to students passing out from engineering or management stream.by the time the child is pursuing the said stream and is ready to face the world , the scenario is completely different. at that given point his stream of choice is not being paid similar to what it was being honored when he set out to achieve it.

this dilemma is faced by many a soul and few have to face it on hand too. they are not at all trained to face such situations in life.so something is lacking in our education or the need to inculcate the value of money should be set in right from the childhood.

money can buy everything but not love.the importance of sweat on the brow needs to be taught to the younger generations .the idea to save for the future unforeseen circumstances should be taught. even if the pay package is more and the man is not able to enjoy life , there is no use struggling so much for the daily bread .

this is closely linked to heart health too.suppose a man is suffering from heart ailment or heart attack ,apart from physical ,mental anguish,the patient has to face the economic hardships too.


splurging on money which comes in suddenly has become a fashion. we donot think of the tragedy which awaits us round the corner.and then start blaming the  situation.

children should be taught the importance of money saved is money earned. and money builds further money.they should be inculcated the good habit of saving . it does not mean that we should not enjoy and keep on saving always. small amount of saving is to be taken out every month .with the compounded interest the money what we have saved after few years will be sufficient to ride over any tragedy .

there are lot of options available on the market.taking out a term plan is one such instrument.variety of endowments plans are also available.one has to make oneself aware of these instruments .

it is wise to have a term plan for ten times the annual income and a critical care illness plan for atleast 3 times the monthly income . the term plan is a good choice for the family left behind and critical care illness for the tragedy for patient himself , help him ride over the income lost during period of his recovery . 


heart ailment and its management causes a lot of burden on the expenditure of the family.the post operative management with medications can cause a lot of burden if not adequately covered by insurance . 

Money and Heart

importance of money in heart ailments cannot be overemphasized.all heart ailments require a lot of money to be spent on treatment.

modern lifestyle illnesses put many a patient inot only in emotional,physical turmoil but also economic problems.our present study curriculum does not train an individual to be economically sturdy.this aspect is to be taught to children right from the begining.
they have to be taught to save for the winter days and also make their savings grow and work for them in times of need.

as a heart patient, one has to withstand financial turmoil apart from physical issues of admission to the hospital.how can one pay for the services in the hospital?
this dilemma and many other questions haunt the patient and their near and dear ones.
to be immune against these factors ,one has to be ready for any eventuality in life.
  

the requirement of ready cash in hand is possible if one has the habit of saving for the winter days.children are to be taught about this aspect from the very begining regarding savings and also power of compounding.regular savings will add upto a massive amount in long run.

this aspect is not covered in our regular studies and effort has to be made by parents in teaching children .as soon as one gets first payment ,every child /young man need to be introduced to the concept of saving.

lot of modalities are available in the market for saving purposes . one needs to evaluate and educate himself regarding term plan/ endowment plans.the medical insurance should be one of priority.
calamity befalls anyone and at any time. but if one is ready for any eventuality ,the smooth sailing through the illness can be less stressful than otherwise.

A KIND APPROACH TO HEART

the approaches to the heart disease are varied.the multiple trends in accepting the disease and acting on it are causing more harm than good.
there are instances where the patient need to have undergone CABG but opted out for life style modification and alternative treatment option,have resulted in losing a precious life.i always feel that the heart disease is comparable to atom bomb clinging to our body tightly.common sense tells that rather than removing the bomb directly in first instance it is better to cut the circuit of the bomb there by defusing it and making it impotent than take measures to seperate it from the body.similarly for heart disease ,initially treatment in form of plasty or surgery should be carried out and then followed by life style modification and alternative therapy.such a approach can prove beneficial to patient in long run .

jumping on the lifestyle modification also there are many ways.routine exercises is one part of life style modification.other part include stress reduction,learning a new way of life style ,weight reduction.thus life approach has to on a plane of physical,mental, spiritual,emotional and last but not the least monetary development.


physical development takes form of physiotheraphy , weight reduction exercises .developing good physique is essential to lead a healthy life.over coming the physical constraints will help the patient lead a symptom free better life style than before.diet charting from a dietician is welcome but is it helping the patient stick to new regime?being vegetarian or simply fruitarian can be a blessing.

non vegetarian food takes 72 hours to get digested completly before it gets thrown out of the body .on the other hand the vegetarian diet gets assimilated in  the body early and waste products discarded in 24 hours.


mental development is essential for better outcome of the patient as a whole. if the patient has depression ,or other issues that needs mental treatment should also be tackled first.having as patient depressed and stresszed after the plasty or CABG can be a huge problem. heart attack the name itself send s shivers down
a normal persons spine.some patient will not accept that they have heart disease and will go in shock or denial.


spiritual development of a patient is equally important.place of patient in the society can make patient uneasy and restless. the feeling that he is small person in the great wide beautiful wonderful world sent unto this world to play his part is very important. spiritually the patientr will find solace in vedanta way of life thereby reducing the stress for himself and accepting his disease.


emotional turmoil in day to day activity for the patient is very common and some patient cannot take the stress of the situation every day leading to breakdown.emotional need of the person can be solved by the near and dear spouse or children as a team work. it would be beneficial for the patient ,if the near dear ones donot left them unattended.at times patient can complain of headaches and nightnares ,should be attended to promptly.


last but not the least the monetary aspect of the heart disease is equally important. patient donot have insurance policy taken out to help them in the times of need. also the race to earn more money has given them stress which in turn has lead to formation of blockage.feeling of let down because of lack of money can be very distressing and patient  near and dear one can go in shock or denial.
