Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by phlegm and stasis, which block the blood vessels in the body, resulting in the blockage of qi and blood, and stay in the neck and veins, which will lead to carotid plaque, that is, carotid atherosclerotic plaque.
Therefore, the carotid artery plaque in traditional Chinese medicine can start from the two aspects of phlegm and stasis!Today I would like to share with you a case of carotid plaque:
This patient is more than 60 years old this year, and he suffered from a cerebral infarction before, at that time, because of numbness in the limbs, dizziness, and physical discomfort, his family was rushed to the hospital, and he was diagnosed with cerebral infarction, and he was discharged after a period of timeAfter being discharged from the hospital, there was a feeling of numbness in the limbs, and it was not as flexible as before, and I always felt headache, tinnitus, fatigue and other problems, and I went to the hospital again to check and confirm that the right carotid artery had 13mm of hardened plaque. When the patient came to see the doctor, he found that his tongue was dark red, thin and white, the sublingual veins were tortuous, the right side was slippery, the left side was thin, and the blood pressure was normal. Follow-up: The follow-up feedback is improved, the tinnitus problem is reduced, and sometimes there will be some phlegm, and the prescription is adjusted upwards in the basic prescription. Third diagnosis: After continuing the conditioning, the headache, tinnitus, and numbness of the limbs disappeared, and the patient's whole person looked more energetic than before.
