Patient's question:
I am taking a traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my menstrual flow, which is too light and causes dysmenorrhea. I have also been taking Chinese medicine for chest tightness and shortness of breath. I started taking it yesterday. Today, my period started. Can I still take it with focus?
