Patient's question:
Always reappearing intermittent discomfort in the chest, but it's not pain either, and there's no chest tightness or palpitations. However, an ECG was done, and a normal ECG showed no abnormalities, but a 24-hour ECG revealed premature beats and T-wave changes. What medicine should be taken?Doctor's answer:
The changes in T waves are usually low, flat, or inverted. To some extent, they reflect the blood supply to the heart. The electrocardiogram shows that you have myocardial ischemia. You need to take some medication to nourish the heart muscle. If it's only myocardial ischemia without atrioventricular blockage or other issues, it should not be a major problem. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it is caused by heart qi deficiency. Your current symptoms suggest treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. You can visit a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital to get some qi-boosting and blood-activating herbal medicine.
