Health for All says
Coronary heart disease, as a heart disease, often has atypical symptoms due to its rich and diverse symptoms. It is important for doctors to correctly identify atypical symptoms to help them make early diagnoses and**. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions to elaborate on the atypical symptoms of coronary heart disease and its best methods.
1.Gastrointestinal symptoms.
One of the atypical symptoms of coronary heart disease is gastrointestinal symptoms. Patients may experience symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, etc. According to TCM theory, this is related to the interaction between the heart and the gastrointestinal tract. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart belongs to fire, the liver belongs to wood, the lungs belong to gold, the lungs are the main qi, the heart is the main blood, and the liver is the main wood. When the heart is hot, the stomach heat rises and falls, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, regulating the heart, liver, and fire is an important way to alleviate such atypical symptoms.
2.Neck and shoulder discomfort.
Another atypical symptom is neck and shoulder discomfort. Many patients experience neck or shoulder discomfort before the onset of coronary heart disease, and even experience symptoms of neck stiffness and shoulder and back pain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that neck and shoulder discomfort is related to the meridians of the heart, which may be caused by insufficient qi supply to the heart. Traditional Chinese medicine has an ancient prescription called Guifu Dihuang Pill, which has the effect of nourishing the heart and invigorating qi, nourishing yin and clearing heat, and can be used to regulate heart qi and blood** and relieve neck and shoulder discomfort.
3.Neurological symptoms.
Coronary heart disease is also often accompanied by neurological symptoms, such as dizziness and syncope. According to TCM theory, these symptoms are related to insufficient blood supply to the brain due to insufficient blood supply to the heart**. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the main blood of the heart is insufficient, it will lead to a decrease in the cerebral blood supply, resulting in dizziness, syncope and other neurological symptoms. In the experience of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions such as peach kernel, safflower, salvia, etc., can be used to improve cerebral blood supply and relieve neurological symptoms.
In short, the atypical symptoms of coronary heart disease are diverse, which puts forward higher requirements for doctors' judgment and diagnosis and treatment. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this article introduces atypical symptoms such as gastrointestinal symptoms, neck and shoulder discomfort, and neurological symptoms of coronary heart disease. For each symptom, the best methods of traditional Chinese medicine are also provided, such as regulating the heart, liver, and fire, using Guifu Dihuang pills, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is believed that through the synthesis of traditional Chinese medicine**, it can better help patients relieve symptoms and reduce the impact of diseases on the body.
