Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. At night, I can't sleep, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Can diaphragmatic spasm be a problem?Doctor's answer:
Considering you may have diaphragmatic spasms, acupuncture treatment can be used based on syndrome differentiation, and medications such as Si Xiao Wan, Chen Xiang Shu Qi Wan, Domperidone, 654-2 tablets, and Shu Gan Jian Wei Wan can also be taken for treatment, all of which can be effective. If the condition does not improve after adjustment, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination and diagnosis.It is safe to eat, and yam is good for regulating the spleen and stomach and will not cause constipation. It can also benefit the spleen, lungs, and kidneys. You can buy yam at the market (the long, spiky type), preferably Huai yam. When the porridge is almost ready, mix the mashed yam into the porridge and stir a few times before boiling. Do not overcook it, as it will destroy the digestive enzymes inside and affect the effect. Alternatively, you can steam it as well.
