Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, how effective is traditional Chinese medicine in treating myocardial ischemia?Doctor's answer:
Heart and brain edema are commonly seen in traditional Chinese medicine as a symptom of chest obstruction, which can be classified into different patterns of syndrome differentiation and treatment based on symptoms such as blood stasis and qi stagnation. Traditional Chinese medicine and herbs can be used to treat it. It is necessary to consult a doctor for pulse-taking and syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the patient's condition, symptoms, tongue coating, and pulse. Medications and prescriptions should be adjusted accordingly to address the specific symptoms. Additionally, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be considered for comprehensive care. It is important to communicate with the doctor in a timely manner based on the varying conditions and follow the doctor's guidance to determine the appropriate treatment method.
