HOMEOPATHY FOR CARDIOMYOPATHY

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of our body. Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure.

Types

Types of cardiomyopathies include:

·       Dilated cardiomyopathy. In this type of cardiomyopathy, the pumping ability of the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes enlarged (dilated) and cannot effectively pump blood out of the heart.

Although this type can affect people of all ages, it occurs most often in middle-aged people and is more likely to affect men. The most common cause is coronary artery disease or heart attack. Also be caused by genetic defects.

·       Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This type involves abnormal thickening of heart muscle, which makes it harder for the heart to work. It mostly affects the muscle of left ventricle.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can develop at any age, but the condition tends to be more severe if it occurs during childhood. Most people with this type of cardiomyopathy have a family history of the disease. Some genetic mutations have been linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

·       Restrictive cardiomyopathy. In this type, the heart muscle becomes stiff and less flexible, so it cannot expand and fill with blood between heartbeats. This least common type of cardiomyopathy can occur at any age, but it most often affects older people.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy can occur for no known reason, or it can be caused by a disease elsewhere in the body that affects the heart, such as amyloidosis.

·       Arrythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. In this rare type of cardiomyopathy, the muscle in the right ventricle, is replaced by scar tissue, which can lead to heart rhythm problems. It is often caused by genetic mutations.

·       Unclassified cardiomyopathy. Other types of cardiomyopathies fall into this category.

Symptoms

There might be no signs or symptoms in the early stages of cardiomyopathy. But as the condition advances, signs and symptoms usually appear, including:

·       Breathlessness with activity or even at rest

·       Swelling of the legs, ankles and feet

·       Bloating of the abdomen due to fluid buildup.

·       Cough while lying down

·       Difficulty lying flat to sleep

·       Fatigue

·       Heartbeats that feel rapid, pounding or fluttering

·       Chest discomfort or pressure

·       Dizziness, lightheadedness and fainting

Signs and symptoms tend to get worse unless treated. In some people the condition worsens quickly; in others, it might not worsen for a long time.

Causes

The cause of the cardiomyopathy is unknown. It may acquired, or inherited. Certain health conditions or behaviors that can lead to acquired cardiomyopathy include:

·       Long-term high blood pressure

·       Hear tissue damage from a heart attack

·       Long-term rapid heart rate

·       Heart valve problems

·       Covid-19 infection

·       Certain infections, especially those that cause inflammation of the heart

·       Metabolic disorders, such as obesity, thyroid diseaseor diabetes

·       Lack of essential vitamins or minerals in diet, such as thiamin

·       Pregnancy complications

·       Iron buildup in heart muscle

·       The growth of tiny lumps or inflammatory cells, granulomas, in any prat of the body, including heart and lungs, sarcoidosis

·       The buildup of abnormal proteins in the organs

·       Connective tissue disorders

·       Drinking too much alcohol over many years

·       Use of cocaine, amphetamines or anabolic steroids

·       Use of some chemotherapy drugs and radiation to treat cancer

HOMEOPATHY FOR GALL BLADDER STONES

Gallstones are small stones made from cholesterol, bile pigment and calcium salts, usually in a mixture that forms in the gallbladder. They are a common disorder of the digestive system, and affect around 15% of people aged 50 years and over. Somethings that may cause gallstones to form include the crystallization of excess cholesterol in bile and the failure of the gallbladder to empty completely.

Gallstones range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Some people develop just one gallstone, while others develop many gallstones at the same time.

In approximately 70% of cases, gallstones cause no symptoms. The symptoms of gallstones may include:

·       Pain in abdomen and back. Pain is generally infrequent, but severe

·       Back pain between shoulder blades

·       Pain in right shoulder

·       Increase in abdominal pain after eating a fatty meal

·       Jaundice

·       Fever and pain, if the gallbladder or bile duct becomes infected.

·       Nausea and vomiting

HOMEOPATHY FOR FALLOPIAN TUBE BLOCKAGE

The fallopian tubes, also known as, uterine tubes and salpinges, are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated epithelia leading from the ovaries into the uterus. In a woman’s body the tube allows passage of the egg from the ovary to the uterus and helps fertilization if sperm is present.

Causes

·       The most common cause of blockage are scar tissue and endometriosis. Scar tissue may occur following infection in the tubes. Infection can inflame the lining of the tubes. AS the infection is healing, it may lay down scar tissue. This makes the inner wall of the tube thicker which decreases the opening. The open area may become partly, or completely blocked.

·       Endometriosis is a common condition, where tissue that behaves the lining of the womb, endometrium may grow outside of the uterus. If the endometriosis is mild, this unusual tissue growth may not block the fallopian tubes. If it is a higher stage, then it is very likely that the fallopian tube will have been blocked.

·       Previous pelvic surgery may another cause especially when the fallopian tubes and ovaries are involved. The competence of the surgeon is crucial in limiting post operative damage.
