What is cardiac neurosis?

Cardiac neurosis, with symptoms related to cardiovascular disease as the main manifestation, is a specific type of neurosis and can be combined with other manifestations of neurosis. There is no evidence of organic heart disease in the pathology. The onset of the disease is predominantly in young adults, mostly in women, especially menopausal women. Patients with cardiac neurological disorders have a predominantly cardiovascular disease complaint at the onset, along with multiple neurological symptoms. Patients may have cardiovascular disease manifestations such as chest tightness, panic, precordial pain, and dyspnea. Onset is often triggered by anxiety, emotional stress, trauma, or overexertion. However, there is usually no evidence of organic heart disease, which may coexist with or occur on top of the latter. The patient’s cardiovascular system symptoms are characterized by multiple and scattered complaints, sometimes mild and sometimes severe but mostly not serious, lacking an intrinsic connection, and no evidence of disease on objective examination. It may also be accompanied by symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, such as excessive sweating, cold hands and feet, tremor in both hands, frequent urination, increased frequency of stools or constipation. Other symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia, and excessive dreaming are also common. The first step in treatment is to relieve the patient’s anxiety, relax and get enough sleep. For cardiovascular hyperfunction symptoms, such as combined with tachycardia, low-dose application of metoprolol can slow down the heart rate. Patients with cardiac neurosis are in a state of chronic stress and anxiety, often combined with dyspepsia, and can be treated with gastrointestinal medications, such as Azinomide.
