Cardiomyopathy Treatment
The good news is that cardiomyopathy can be treated. The first thing to do is to make changes in your lifestyle in order to have a healthier heart. The changes include:
- Regular exercise to strengthen your heart
- Have a healthy or balanced diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables and reduce junk food
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Limiting stress
There are also medications that can treat this condition. One of these is the anti-arrhythmics, which is a class of drug that can help to limit the heart flutters. Your doctor may also prescribe you with medications that can help to lower blood pressure as high blood pressure can increase your risk of heart diseases, including cardiomyopathy.
If you suspect that you have cardiomyopathy, visit a doctor for diagnosis. Your doctor will be able to listen for sounds that suggest cardiomyopathy with a stethoscope. If necessary, your doctor will also recommend you to go for other diagnostic tests like blood test, X-rays etc.
