Hypertension can be stopped during TCM treatment, but it is not stopped immediately. Because many patients with hypertension, during the treatment of Western medicine, there is a phenomenon of dependence, as long as they stop for 3-5 days, their blood pressure rises sharply, and some of them only stop taking it for one day and have obvious changes. This is why Western medicine should be taken for a long time. After traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, you can all quit Western medicine, but you have to complete it step by step.
Through traditional Chinese medicine treatment, oral Western medicine can be gradually withdrawn. Common spleen and kidney yang deficiency phlegm wet obesity type and liver and kidney yin deficiency type hypertension patients, most of the cases are during the treatment of Western medicine, blood pressure has not been able to drop to normal, and because of the dizziness, palpitations, insomnia and dreams, or stool dry knots before coming to the doctor. Systolic blood pressure is mostly between 145-170 mm columns, or diastolic pressure between 95-100 mm columns, and abnormal two values can appear at the same time or alone.
The treatment of hypertension in Traditional Chinese medicine is divided into two parts, namely, the treatment of symptoms (pathology) of Traditional Chinese medicine and the treatment of constitution (treatment of pre-existing diseases).
The first is traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The treatment of hypertension in Chinese medicine is not for the treatment of "hypertension", but for the dialectical treatment of the imbalance between yin and yang in people with hypertension, that is, to reconcile yin and yang and indirectly lower blood pressure. It can also be understood that Chinese medicine lowers blood pressure by improving symptoms and balancing the body's yin and yang. Although the antihypertensive effect of the treatment process of Chinese medicine is not as fast as that of Western medicine, there will be no side effects like Western medicine during the period. Therefore, during the treatment, the patient's body feels more comfortable, especially in the improvement of various symptoms, such as dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations, irritability, insomnia and dreams, dry stools, red face, dry mouth and other symptoms, after these symptoms improve, the patient's heart gets great comfort, the mood is greatly improved, various pressures are reduced, and blood pressure can naturally be completely reduced.
Many secondary and below hypertension, no other serious complications (such as coronary heart disease stent surgery), in combination with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, after one to two weeks of medication, a lot of blood pressure will drop to normal, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations, irritability, insomnia and dreams, dry stool, red face, dry mouth and other symptoms will also be alleviated or disappeared at the same time, at this time can be subtracted all auxiliary Western drugs, such as aspirin, thrombosis, blood plugs, heart and brain, simvastatin, etc., only retain antihypertensive Western medicine, which is the first step in drug reduction.
In the whole process of chinese medicine treatment of hypertension, Chinese medicine treatment accounts for about half, and the other half is solved by adjusting and controlling diet, exercise, work and rest, mentality and other conditioning methods. If all aspects are carried out normally, in addition to the improvement of various symptoms at the same time, the mood is cheerful, the spirit is relaxed, the bowel movements are normal, the work and rest time is normal, the sleep is improved, the diet is required to quit the mouth, about a month, the blood pressure can be stabilized at 120-130, low pressure between 75-85, you can reduce the blood pressure of Western medicine by half, which is the second step of drug reduction.
At the same time, there are two kinds of drugs can be subtracted, such as amlodipine besylate + irbesartan, you can first stop taking amlodipine besylate, only retain irbesartan, if you have been taking only one, the original dose will be reduced by half, such as 150MG irbesartan, can be reduced by 75MG, such as half of the amount to continue to take 1-3 months, with a reasonable diet, the weight dropped to the standard state, various pressures have been released, rest on time, blood pressure is basically stable, you can stop all Western medicine antihypertensive drugs, this is the third step of drug reduction.
The last step in drug reduction is to stop the Chinese medicine, and if you insist on it for another month, the Chinese medicine will be gradually postponed to the end. The key point is to exercise, quit mouth, work and rest on time, avoid psychological pressure and can't stop!
Special attention is that some patients in the treatment process blood pressure may sometimes weigh up between 150-160, which may be related to colds or work and rest, mood abnormalities, etc., but as long as corrected in time, blood pressure generally drops back to normal quickly, and may only appear 1-2 times a day, as long as the cause is removed or quieted down, it is normal, do not worry too much, no need to take antihypertensive drugs.
The second is to cure the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in ensuring that hypertension does not recur.
A patient with hypertension, after traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the blood pressure is stable and normal, the blood lipids are normal, the symptoms such as dizziness, chest tightness, and palpitations disappear, and the body is in a disease-free state. However, if the physique is identified according to Chinese medicine, there may still be a state of physical bias, such as psychological, physiological bias, obese physique, which does not meet the requirements of normal physiology, the diet is still in an unreasonable state, and it is still in "too much" or "not enough"; Psychological pressure has not been released, emotions have not yet stabilized (i.e. psychological imbalance); Do not work and rest on time, still staying up late, still interfering with the normal operation of the human body's biological clock. These biased physiques have a tendency to develop diseases at any time, in order to achieve the true health of the human body, TCM treatment is to prevent the occurrence and development of biased physiques to diseases, through targeted conditioning, the biased physique will be restored to a peaceful physique, eliminating the tendency to develop.
Chinese medicine advocates "maintenance" and "prevention", emphasizing "prevention first", including the strategy of preventing the disease before it occurs, preventing the disease from becoming a disease, and preventing it after the disease, requiring people not only to treat the disease, but also to prevent the disease, not only to prevent the disease, but also to pay attention to blocking the trend of lesions, and before the lesions occur, we must think of the coping methods that can be used, so as to grasp the initiative of the disease, never let the disease dominate itself, and hypertension will not recur.
TCM identifies the corresponding physique according to various manifestations and makes corresponding TCM guidance.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is mainly divided into four aspects: the first is to quit mouth: Chinese medicine "quitting" is to give reasonable dietary guidance, including smoking cessation and alcohol restriction. Adjust the bias of the human body with the bias of food, that is, the cold is hot, the hot is cold, the weak are supplemented, and the real ones are diarrhea, while ensuring the balance of inflow and out and maintaining the standard weight. The second is exercise guidance: usually carry out outdoor aerobic exercise and activities, can choose the appropriate exercise mode according to personal situation, adhere to long-term exercise exercise, and maintain the standard weight of the body is of great significance. The third is living intervention: it is required to pay attention to avoid rain, avoid living or working in a humid environment for a long time, pay attention to keeping warm, and prevent external cold and humidity from damaging the spleen and stomach and damaging the yang qi. Clothing should be based on the change of four hours to penetrate the air moisture and warm cotton clothing is better, you can reasonably bask in the sun or sunbathe. Work and rest on time, do not stay up late, and ensure that "nature and man are one". The fourth is to maintain psychological balance: rationally adjust work and lifestyle, eliminate various pressures, and cultivate a calm mind and a stable mentality when doing things and encountering things.
In short, if there is discomfort, you should take the initiative to pay attention to the body in time, and do not think of treatment when there is a problem or a real problem in the examination. "Man cannot live entirely by indicators, but must first live by feelings." Therefore, patients with hypertension, after the end of drug treatment, after the symptoms are eliminated, after the indicators are normal, they must also adhere to the last stop of Chinese medicine "treatment", that is, Chinese medicine "cures the disease", adjust the biased physique to a peaceful physique, in order to make the hypertension disease no longer recur, completely cure hypertension.
TCM treatment and treatment of diseases should be carried out at the same time. The process of treating the disease may last for a long time, and the key is the degree of cooperation of the patient.
As long as you can adhere to: reasonable diet, moderate exercise, on time and rest, psychological balance, so that the body constitution is in a peaceful state, hypertension will not recur.
