In my examination, I found that the plaque has become larger again, the left stenosis has been 80%, the right side has not grown, and then the diagnosis found that her pulse is slippery, the tongue is dark, the heart is thick, the syndrome is kidney deficiency and blood stasis, the formula is composed of angelica, rehmannia root, peach kernel, safflower, citrus aurantium, red peony, Chuanxiong, bupleurum, bellflower, hyssop, liporice, and codonopsis.

A month later, the re-examination found that the plaques were reduced, the stenosis was reduced, the left side was reduced to 60%, the right side was reduced to 40%, the symptoms improved significantly, the vertigo was reduced, the inflexibility and insomnia were improved, so that there was no need to put a stent.
