Some time ago, I received a patient who had an acute myocardial infarction half a year ago, and after two months**, his vital signs were stable, but Mr. Liu had to use dopamine 24 hours a day, and as soon as he withdrew this medicine, his blood pressure immediately dropped to 40 mm Hg, and he was groggy lying in bed.
After the combination of Chinese medicine, it only took two weeks for Mr. Liu's symptoms to reduce, from being confined to a wheelchair to now being able to walk 10,000 steps a day.
It is generally believed that heart failure is related to blood stasis, and blood stasis is indeed a well-known cause of blood stasis. But in addition to blood stasis, there is actually a very common and very important element, but it is rarely known, and the name of this element is called water drink.
Water drinking is a pathological product formed by abnormal water metabolism in the human body and the accumulation of water in the body. Whichever organ this pathological product stays in, it will cause serious diseases in which viscera.
The most common of these are diseases of the heart system and respiratory diseases. So, who is it easy to find this terrible water drink?And how to get rid of it?
Who is susceptible to water drinking?
1. People with qi deficiency and susceptibility to colds.
2. People with underlying heart diseases.
3. People who are used to Xi bad life.
4. People who drink too much water.
The last one is excessive drinking, especially for the elderly. In the elderly, the function of organs will be weakened, and excessive water intake may increase the burden on the heart. How much should I drink?
For normal adults, the daily water intake is eight glasses of water, that is, about 2500 ml, but patients with heart failure cannot drink so much water because their heart function is already weak. Patients with severe heart failure are almost controlled within 800 ml, which is not very serious, and it is not suitable to exceed 1500 ml.
The key to dispelling water in traditional Chinese medicine is to benefit water.
I commonly use the Lung Diarrhea Formula, which has been used clinically for more than 50 years, specifically for the treatment of heart failure or cardiac insufficiency.
It is the main herb of this recipe, and its effect is to purify the lungs and improve waterAstragalus is mainly used to invigorate qi and promote water, Poria cocos skin to strengthen the spleen and improve water, psyllium to benefit the kidneys and water, and red peony and safflower seeds to invigorate blood and water. The whole recipe is combined to benefit qi, purify the lungs and water, dilate blood vessels and improve heart function.
If we have some precursors of heart failure, we can go to the hospital and ask the doctor to diagnose whether we are suitable for this prescription and then take the medicine as prescribed.
