Patient's question:
My grandmother has high blood pressure. Coronary heart disease is what he recently told me. Sweating palms, sweating on the back, does high blood pressure cause sweating?Doctor's answer:
This type of sweating, from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, is primarily considered to be caused by qi and yin deficiency. From a Western medicine perspective, it may be due to many dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system, or some forms of hyperhidrosis. In very rare cases, high blood pressure or coronary heart disease may also be factors. It is best to seek further and thorough medical examination at the hospital. In terms of treatment, appropriate oral intake of traditional Chinese medicine formulas that tonify qi and yin can be considered. Specific medication should strictly follow medical advice. Acupuncture can also be used in conjunction for regulation and conditioning.
