What details should patients with heart failure pay attention to in their daily life?

As the saying goes, "three-point disease, seven-point nutrition" is a long process for patients with heart failure, so reasonable and meticulous maintenance is very important. Patients with heart failure should pay attention to the following aspects in their daily life during the recovery period: 1. Keep their daily life regular. 2. Make psychological adjustment and improve self-control. First of all, we must establish confidence and courage to overcome the disease. They also suffer from heart failure, but the prognosis of different emotions is obviously different. Depression and excessive mental stress will increase the burden on the heart and aggravate heart failure. 3. Emphasize the combination of static and dynamic, and exercise properly according to the heart function. Reasonable arrangement of work and rest time, insist on lunch break every day about 1 hour. Proper exercise under the guidance of a doctor can avoid bedsore and venous thrombosis on the one hand, and improve cardiac function reserve, enhance disease resistance and reduce infection on the other hand, because infection is one of the main causes of heart failure. Patients should master the "degree" during exercise, and the highest heart rate during exercise should not exceed 120 times per minute. For example, patients with grade I cardiac function can jog, play Tai Ji Chuan and do exercises. Patients with cardiac function II-III can take a walk on the outdoor flat ground and do some activities within their power. 4. Keep the indoor temperature relatively constant, preferably around 20 degrees Celsius in winter, avoid direct blowing by using electric fans in summer, and pay attention to the indoor and outdoor temperature difference by using air conditioners. 5. Indoor ventilation. In winter, the room should be ventilated at least twice a day for half an hour each time, but it should be noted that patients can keep warm by themselves during air convection to avoid catching a cold. 6. Prevent respiratory infections. Respiratory tract infection can lead to heart failure. When going out, change clothes according to the season and pay attention to oral hygiene. 7. Diet conditioning. Usually, high-quality protein rich in essential amino acids should be selected as food, such as milk, lean meat and freshwater fish. And the heat should not be too high. Avoid drinking irritating drinks, such as strong tea, coffee, soda, etc. At the same time, give up smoking and drinking. Pay attention to the control of sodium chloride, and the daily intake should not exceed 2g. You can cook more sweet and sour dishes, and pay attention to avoid hidden high-salt foods, such as preserved eggs, pickles and bacon. Don't overeat, eat less and eat more meals, especially at dinner, so as not to increase the burden on your heart. 8. Keep your stool unobstructed when you are constipated, and avoid overexertion. 9. Self-monitoring. Patients with heart failure usually pay attention to the changes of their pulse, blood pressure, complexion, urine volume and weight. It is best to weigh yourself at the same time every day (after urination) and wear clothes of similar weight. Before going to bed at night, you should observe whether your ankle is swollen and whether you feel awakened at night. Pay attention to the daily urine volume, and it is best to collect the urine volume in a container for one day: when palpitation, cough, dyspnea, difficulty lying down, edema, nausea, vomiting and decreased urine volume occur, the weight gain exceeds1000g in one day, indicating that heart failure is aggravated, and you should go to the hospital immediately so that the doctor can adjust the treatment plan when using it. 10. It is harmful to stop or reduce drugs at will. 1 1. Follow up regularly. The treatment of heart failure is a long process. When the condition is stable, you must go to the heart failure clinic or the cardiovascular specialist clinic every 2-3 weeks, adjust the drugs, and do regular examinations such as echocardiography and electrocardiogram. 12. Insist on taking medicine, taking medicine and keeping medicine. Remember the names of the drugs you take, put them in a fixed place, make clear the method of taking them, and take them on time. When buying prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs in pharmacies, you should take the initiative to tell the pharmacist the drugs you are taking so that the drugs can be used together.
