This person doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter. Even at this point, he still hasn’t consulted a doctor for treatment. What if he can’t wake up? This is not something that can be solved by just giving me a prescription. This matter really can’t be delayed.
Why did he suddenly lose sight of his vision? It was because of a lack of blood, or blood was not flowing, and could not be supplied. Some people even had cold and numb hands and feet. This only happened when he had chest pain, which also proved that he was suffering from ischemia or heart problems? Later, I learned that he had been hospitalized for heart failure for half a month, and this happened after he was discharged from the hospital.
Since the hospital said it was heart failure, it should not be underestimated. Failure means weakness, unable to work normally. In Chinese medicine, it means weak pulsation or sudden stoppage (sometimes it beats, sometimes not). Treatise on Febrile Diseases calls it pulse knot and intermittent pulse. Pulse knot and intermittent pulse, palpitations, Zhigancao Decoction (Zhigancao, ginger, cinnamon twig, ginseng, raw rehmannia root, donkey-hide gelatin, ophiopogon japonicus, hemp seed, jujube) is the main treatment. This is the original text of Treatise on Febrile Diseases.
The main ingredient of this prescription is roasted licorice. When the amount of roasted licorice is large, it can enter the heart. When the amount is small, it can harmonize the other medicines and moderate the nature of the medicines. For example, I mentioned using Ma Huang Fu Zi Xi Xin Tang to treat cold rhinitis (runny nose), but some people can’t stand it after taking it, and their heart is pounding. In this case, adding a few grams of roasted licorice will moderate the nature of the medicine.
After the effect is alleviated, the medicinal properties are not so strong. Although the effect is slower, at least people will not feel uncomfortable. This is the effect of drug combination. Some people use roasted ephedra for this reason. Because roasted licorice has the effect of alleviating the medicinal properties, you can remove roasted licorice in case of emergency, so that the medicinal properties will go away faster.
If the condition is relieved after taking Zhigancao Decoction, but there is still blood stasis, you can add some Danshen and Panax notoginseng, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. For example, if you always feel a tingling sensation in your heart, the sublingual veins are enlarged, and the tongue surface is purple, these are manifestations of blood stasis. You can also add Gualou Xiebai Baijiu Decoction, which can also remove phlegm and eliminate chest pain. Bi means pain.
How do you know if there is phlegm in the heart? Ordinary people don’t take the pulse, so you can look at the root of the tongue. If there is always moss at the root of the tongue that cannot be removed, and there is heart discomfort, which is aggravated by cold, then it should be considered as phlegm. You should add Gualou Xiebai white wine soup to it. This is to remove pericardial phlegm.
But for most people, it is not so serious. It is not like what is mentioned above, that is, it appears when you are overworked or before going to bed. It is fine at other times. In this case, you can use cinnamon twig, aconite, dried ginger, cornus fruit, and red ginseng, boil some water together and drink it. Cinnamon twig warms the heart yang, dried ginger warms the spleen yang, aconite warms the kidney yang, cornus fruit restrains the liver qi, and red ginseng replenishes kidney water. Generally, two doses can solve the problem. This is Li Ke’s idea of saving yang, helping yang and replenishing fire to restore the heart
There are many people with bad heart now, but they go to the hospital for a checkup and are told that they are fine. If it happens to young people, it is mostly caused by staying up late or overwork. Don’t take it lightly. If it stops beating, you will collapse. It is common for young people to die prematurely now. You should rest when you need to. You can eat more if you live longer.
And if it happens to the elderly, most of the time it is caused by phlegm and dampness, or myocardial ischemia, insufficient blood supply to the heart, and coronary artery sclerosis, etc., which cannot be solved by simply taking Danshen tablets. The key is to replenish Yang Qi, restore kidney Yang (fire of the life gate), and restore spleen and stomach digestion. In this way, Qi and blood will gradually come up, and the blocked areas will gradually be unblocked. This is the fundamental solution.
