If someone is diagnosed with BHS then, the following few treatments are options.

·         Seek medical attention: If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or other signs of a heart-related issue, seek emergency medical help immediately. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial to confirm the diagnosis, rule out other cardiac conditions, and initiate appropriate treatment.

·         Hospitalization and monitoring: People with broken heart syndrome often require hospitalization for close monitoring and management of symptoms. Medical professionals will conduct tests, such as echocardiography and cardiac MRI, to assess heart function and determine the extent of the condition.

·         Medication: Depending on the severity of symptoms, healthcare providers may prescribe medications to support heart function and manage symptoms. Medications may include beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, or other drugs to address specific aspects of heart function.

·         Addressing underlying stressors: Identify and address the underlying emotional or physical stressors that may have triggered the condition. Seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals to cope with the emotional impact of the stressors.

·         Cardiac rehabilitation: After the acute phase, cardiac rehabilitation programs may be recommended to help improve overall cardiovascular health through exercise, lifestyle changes, and education.

·         Follow-up care: Attend follow-up appointments with healthcare providers to monitor recovery and adjust treatment as needed. It is important to adhere to prescribed medications and lifestyle recommendations to support long-term heart health.

·         Emotional support:  Emotional healing is an important aspect of recovery. Seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional to cope with the emotional aftermath of stressful events.

·         Lifestyle changes: Adopt heart-healthy lifestyle habits, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management. Quit smoking and limit alcohol intake, as these factors can contribute to cardiovascular health.
