The discomfort caused by menopause in women can be alleviated through adjusting emotions, moderate exercise, supplementing nutrition, medication treatment, and traditional Chinese medicine regulation. Menopausal shortness of breath may be related to hormone fluctuations, autonomic nervous system disorders, decreased cardiopulmonary function, anemia, chronic diseases, and other factors.
1. Adjusting Emotions
Menopausal women are prone to emotional fluctuations such as anxiety and depression due to a decrease in estrogen levels, which may exacerbate breathing difficulties. It is recommended to shift attention through meditation, deep breathing exercises, or cultivating hobbies. If necessary, seek psychological counseling to help stabilize emotions and reduce excessive breathing caused by emotional tension.
2. Moderate exercise
Regular aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, swimming, etc. can enhance cardiopulmonary function and improve blood oxygen supply. During exercise, vigorous activity should be avoided and slight sweating is recommended. Keep it 3-5 times a week for 30 minutes each time. Traditional health exercises such as Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin can also help regulate autonomic nervous system function and alleviate symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath.
3. Supplement nutrition
Increase the intake of whole grains and dark green vegetables rich in vitamin B, and supplement plant estrogen with moderate intake of soy products. Avoid high salt and high-fat diets that increase cardiovascular burden, while ensuring daily water intake and maintaining normal blood viscosity. Patients with iron deficiency anemia need to supplement with iron rich foods such as animal liver and red meat appropriately. When symptoms are severe, hormone replacement therapy such as estradiol valerate tablets should be used under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate menopausal syndrome. Patients with obvious palpitations can follow the doctor's advice to take Wenxin Granules. If there is clear anemia, iron supplements such as ferrous succinate tablets should be used. All medications must strictly follow medical advice and the dosage cannot be adjusted by oneself.
5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Conditioning
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most climacteric shortness of breath is due to deficiency of liver and kidney yin, and can be treated with prepared rehmannia root, cornus officinalis and other yin nourishing herbs. Moxibustion at acupoints such as Guan Yuan and Qi Hai can warm and replenish vital energy, while ear acupressure therapy has a certain effect on regulating autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It is recommended to undergo individualized conditioning under the guidance of a professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
