As an experienced veteran TCM practitioner, I often encounter many patients in my clinical practice who complain of often feeling flustered. So, do we need to treat this symptom? Before deciding whether to treat or not, we need to look at some of the relevant conditions.
First of all, does the patient with palpitation have other uncomfortable symptoms, such as palpitations, shortness of breath, chest tightness, etc. If it is a simple feeling of palpitation, and it is not accompanied by other symptoms, it may be due to mood swings, nervousness and anxiety. In this case, we can help relieve the feeling of panic through some methods of self-regulation, such as maintaining a good emotional state and reasonable arrangement of work and life.
Second, we need to observe how often and how long the flustering sensation occurs. If the feeling of panic occurs every day and lasts for hours, it may be caused by something wrong with your body. For example, heart dysfunction, irregular heartbeat, cardiovascular disease, etc. At this time, we need to seek medical attention in time for further examination and treatment.
In addition, we need to pay attention to the triggers of panic. Some patients are prone to feelings of palpitation during exercise, strenuous exercise, emotional agitation, etc., which may be caused by problems with the adaptation of physical functions. In this case, we can improve the body's adaptability and help reduce the feeling of panic through moderate exercise.
In TCM theory, there are some explanations for the feeling of panic. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that palpitations may be caused by problems such as weakness of heart qi, inflammation of the heart, and lack of communication between the heart and spleen. According to the specific symptoms and physical characteristics of the patient, we can choose the corresponding Chinese medicine and adjust the diet and rest for treatment. For example, for patients with weak heart qi, traditional Chinese medicine that nourishes heart qi can be used. For patients with heart inflammation, Chinese medicine can be used to clear the heart and relieve fire.
There are many classic prescriptions in Chinese medicine that can be used to relieve feelings of panic. For example, Guizhi Soup, Yuewan Jiashu Soup, Tranquility and Buxin Pills, etc., have been widely used in clinical practice. These prescriptions work by regulating heart function, soothing emotions, balancing qi and blood, and have unique therapeutic effects.
While treating panic, we also need to pay attention to the patient's lifestyle. Reasonable work and rest time, adequate sleep, and moderate exercise all have a positive impact on relieving the feeling of panic. In addition, adjusting your diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods can help reduce feelings of panic.
In short, for the situation of frequent palpitation, we need to conduct a comprehensive analysis and judgment based on the specific situation of the patient. For mild and temporary palpitations, we can self-regulate by adjusting our diet and rest. However, for persistent, frequent episodes of palpitation, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for relevant examinations and treatment. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine prescriptions are also one of the optional treatment methods, which can be used as an adjuvant treatment. Through comprehensive treatment, it can effectively relieve palpitation and improve the quality of life.
