Bradycardia is fairly common in real life! However, many people are nervous about this, eating and sleeping are affected, and the quality of life is seriously reduced! There was a patient who had a long history of recurrent chest tightness and palpitations, and each episode had difficulty breathing, accompanied by symptoms of dizziness and malaise.
After an examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with an arrhythmia, and the heart rate was slow, only about 44 beats per minute, which belongedTypical sinus bradycardia.
After careful diagnosis: the pulse rhythm is slow, the tongue is fat, and the tongue is pale purple.
For this reason, I prescribed her a recipe: cinnamon branches, red and white peony, ephedra, aconite, fine spice, ginger, jujube, and licorice.
By the time the patient came back to the appointment, his heart rate had increased to 52 beats per minute. Symptoms of chest tightness, dizziness and fatigue have all improved! By the time I came back for a follow-up visit, all the symptoms had disappeared, the ECG was back to normal, and the heart rate was 60-70 beats per minute.
So, why is the heartbeat slow?
First of all,Lack of yang energy in the heart。The heart is the most yang part of the body's organs. Only the heart with Yang Qi can maintain a constant beat and pumping of blood, which in Chinese medicine calls "Heart Yang".
If a person's heart is deficient in yang energy, the heart's work will gradually slow down! So how can you tell if your heart is lacking in yang energy?
An enlarged tongue indicates a weakness of yang energy and a loss of nourishment on the tongue。The light purple color indicates that the patient's heart is lacking in yang qi, and the yin is cold inside, resulting in poor blood circulation and stasis, which is like bruises or bruising on the body, which are caused by blood blockage.
In addition, chest tightness, dizziness, general weakness, and slow pulse are all the result of a lack of yang energy in the heart. The Yang Qi of the heart is weakened, which causes the heart Qi and blood to flow poorly, thus triggering a feeling of tightness in the chest.
The heart is full of yang energy, and the rise of qi and blood is blocked, so dizziness occurs. The heart is the organ that dominates the five internal organs, and the lack of yang energy in the heart will lead to the sluggishness of the qi in all organs of the body, which will lead to general fatigue. A slow pulse is also the reason for this!
For older patients, bradycardia due to lack of yang energy in the heart is a common phenomenon, so if you have similar symptoms, don't worry too much, Chinese medicine can solve it well!
Finally, I would like to remind you that the prescription needs to be diagnosed and adjusted individually according to the individual's condition, and should not be taken by yourself to avoid delaying the condition!
