Patient's question:
10 years ago, I suffered from biliary ascariasis and was completely cured through traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Recently, I have been experiencing sudden, intermittent pain in the area near my heart during the late night. The pain is unbearable and lasts for about 5 to 6 minutes. It recurs once every 8 or 9 days. What could be the reason? Could it be a recurrence of biliary ascariasis?Doctor's answer:
From your condition, there has been a history of biliary ascariasis in your past medical records, which has been cured for over ten years. Currently, you are experiencing pain near the heart, and it is advisable to undergo many examinations, such as an electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, abdominal color Doppler ultrasound, combined with clinical manifestations, which can usually lead to a clear diagnosis. Moreover, the patient should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to enhance their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
