Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year and often stay up late, feeling tired. After a thorough examination, it was found that I have cor pulmonale and hypertension. My blood pressure is slightly high, with systolic pressure at 195 and diastolic pressure at 100. My lungs often feel a bit painful, and I cough with phlegm. I would like to consult if cor pulmonale and hypertension can be treated with Shuntongnuo.Doctor's answer:
In cases where pulmonary heart disease is split from high blood pressure, Sustenna can be used. For this type of high blood pressure, it is essential to pay attention to blood pressure reduction, which can be achieved by using drugs such as Captopril or Valsartan. At the same time, dietary control must be noted, and a low-sodium diet should be strictly followed. If there is cough with phlegm, it may indicate respiratory inflammation, and active anti-infection treatment with sensitive antibiotics should be administered, which will greatly help in controlling the infection.
