Patient's question:
Mother had frequent angina attacks last month, five or six times in half a month, and was admitted to the hospital for treatment. The heart symptoms improved significantly, but dizziness and tinnitus became very severe. Fifteen days after discharge, the dizziness was so severe that a brain CT was performed, with the following results: lacunar infarction in the left basal ganglia, and softened lesions in the right frontal lobe. The patient is frail and cannot tolerate the side effects of medication. How far can Western medicine treatment progress before switching to traditional Chinese medicine treatment?Doctor's answer:
When vital signs stabilize, basic normal communication can be achieved, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be administered. Avoid exposure to cold and overexertion, and regulate emotions to prevent extreme fluctuations. Consume less spicy and irritating foods, and avoid cold and raw foods. In addition, patients should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
