Patient's question:
As I get older, my heart is getting worse. What should I do about angina pectoris of qi stagnation and blood stasis type?Doctor's answer:
The pattern of qi stagnation and blood stasis you mentioned is a confirmed diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine, while in Western medicine, the confirmed diagnosis is coronary heart disease. For your condition, it is recommended to undergo an electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiovascular angiography to confirm the specific cause. Based on the specific cause, symptomatic treatment should be provided to alleviate the symptoms. In the meantime, you can take blood-activating, stasis-resolving, qi-regulating, and pain-relieving medications such as Compound Danshen Droplets for treatment.
