I often tell my relatives that you must stay up less late, be less angry, and drink less!
As long as you do the above three points, basically high blood pressure will be far away from you. Why?
Because of high blood pressure, half of it is caused by the liver!
Based on my many years of clinical experience, I believe that the cause and pathogenesis of hypertension should focus on "depression". Loss of liver qi, poor circulation of qi, and dysfunction of internal organs will lead to increased blood pressure. Therefore, the liver is the hub of hypertension . Regulating the liver has naturally become an important means of treating hypertension.
I would like to remind friends with high blood pressure who are over 45 years old, you can check your liver function. But if you have high blood pressure, your liver will definitely not be better.
A friend wants to ask, should we lower our blood pressure first or regulate our liver first?
My answer is that if you regulate your liver, your blood pressure will naturally drop.
Let me give you an example. You will understand it at a glance.
Patient Huang, 45 years old, suddenly developed severe dizziness a year ago. The blood pressure was measured at Community Hospital and was 160/100. He was diagnosed with grade 2 hypertension. He has been taking " Baixintong and valsartan " for a long time. ”, but the blood pressure was not well controlled, rising and falling.
In the past week, I felt that my dizziness had worsened, I was swaying when I walked, and I had no appetite for eating, so I came to see me.
gave him the diagnosis: dizziness, unsteady walking, irritability, flushed face and eyes, dry mouth and bitter taste, nausea, restless sleep at night, loose stools, red tongue, yellow coating, stringy pulse.
This patient has typical inflammatory hypertension caused by liver fire. At this time, my idea is to release the fire first, and then cleanse the liver!
The formula is as follows: Jiaoshan Gardenia, Danziqin, Vinegar Bupleurum , Rehmannia glutinosa , Plantain, Alisma , Akebia , Angelica , Gastrodia , Uncaria , Fushen .
One week later, the patient's dizziness improved, his complexion was no longer red, dry mouth, and he slept well. The original prescription removed the Poria Goddess and added Trichosanthin and Polygonatum odoratum .
Ten days later, the patient came back for a follow-up visit. He felt that the dry mouth was relieved, and he only had occasional dizziness. It was much better than before, and he was asked to continue taking the original prescription.
After another two weeks, 's symptoms improved and his blood pressure stabilized.
I will tell you the truth here briefly.
This patient is usually "irritable and irritable, and his face is red and red." It can be initially judged that this is a manifestation of liver qi stagnation turning into fire. Fire is Yang evil and burns body fluids, so the patient feels dry mouth. Bitter, combined with tongue coating pulse condition, it can be determined that it is liver-fire inflammation
Therefore, the treatment should be mainly to clear the liver and purge the fire, so Longdan Xiegan Decoction is selected, considering that the patient has poor sleep and unsteady walking. , so add Fu Shen to nourish the heart and calm the nerves. Then use Gastrodia elata and Uncaria to calm the liver and relieve wind.
One thing to note here is that as long as the hypertension is caused by the liver, the dizziness and headache will be more severe than other symptoms. In more serious cases, it can also cause intermittent tinnitus and other symptoms. Therefore, changes in the liver are the key to conditioning.
Because hypertension itself is complex, Chinese medicine is very diversified in its etiology and pathogenesis. , Therefore, in addition to symptomatic treatment, we must pay attention to the root cause of the disease and grasp the overall situation.
Although the liver regulating method is effective, when used clinically, it is still necessary to treat based on syndrome differentiation and to take into account both symptoms and symptoms in order to obtain better results.
I mention. The prescriptions used by the patients are all suitable for them through personal analysis. Everyone's situation is different, and the prescriptions are not universal.I hope everyone understands this truth. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes one person's side and dialectics first!
Okay, let’s stop here! If you also have problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, , etc., you can talk to me.
