Hypertension, the explanation of Western medicine is very simple, abnormal elevation of blood pressure is the main phenomenon, generally when the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of adults is greater than 140mmHg/90mmHg, it can be diagnosed with hypertension, and then, in the "Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hypertension" issued in November 2022, the diagnostic value of hypertension in adults in mainland China was further lowered, and it became that systolic blood pressure greater than 130mmHg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 80mmHg is hypertension.
In a physical examination in 2018, 56-year-old Lao Shao was diagnosed with high blood pressure, Lao Shao's usual personality is more irritable, sometimes he feels road rage when driving, and others will scold non-stop if they have a little overtaking, the doctor said that Lao Shao's high blood pressure has a lot to do with his usual personality, and his frequent anger causes Lao Shao's body to often suffer from adrenaline interference, sympathetic nerve excitement, and blood pressure often rises abnormally.
The doctor instructed Lao Shao to pay attention to keeping his mind calm after returning home, to avoid sudden anger, and to pay attention to his diet, not to eat high-salt food, and to pay attention to quitting smoking and alcohol, he hoped that Lao Shao would develop good living habits, so as to help him keep his blood pressure calm and stable to a certain extent. At the same time, the doctor also prescribed some antihypertensive drugs to Lao Shao, telling Lao Shao to take the medicine seriously and not stop the medicine at will, emphasizing that high blood pressure means taking medicine for life.
Lao Shao still cherishes his life very much, and after returning home, he began to take blood pressure medication seriously, and began to change his living habits to a certain extent, not only eating lightly, but also knowing that he usually walks more, and Lao Shao does not have the problem of smoking and drinking, so Lao Shao feels that his blood pressure will definitely be controlled very smoothly.
For this reason, Lao Shao also bought a dynamic manometry instrument, and his blood pressure changes can be observed all the time, but a month later, he found that his blood pressure was still hovering above 140 and 90, and it has been above the danger line, which made Lao Shao very anxious, so that he could not eat and sleep well, so that the blood pressure control was worse, and the systolic blood pressure soared to 150mmHg at the highest, which made Lao Shao panic.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, Lao Shao even felt that his head began to be dizzy from time to time, and often had a feeling of panic, every time he felt uncomfortable, Lao Shao would lie on the sofa for a long time, Lao Shao's wife saw Lao Shao look sick, it was funny and distressed, and then asked around to ask if there was any good way to lower blood pressure.
Persistent inquiry came to the good news, there is a patient and Lao Shao's situation is very similar, the personality is also very irritable, when he learned that he has high blood pressure is also worried all day, although he takes medicine every day, but the blood pressure has been not well controlled, and even the blood pressure is higher than Lao Shao, and then he found an old Chinese medicine doctor, the old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed a special prescription according to his physical condition, through the insistence on taking it, his condition slowly improved, and the blood pressure is also controlled very stable.
So Lao Shao and his wife found the old Chinese medicine doctor, and after listening to Lao Shao's introduction to his general situation, the old Chinese medicine doctor told Lao Shao that his high blood pressure belonged to the hyperactive type of liver yang in traditional Chinese medicine, and told Lao Shao that the increase in blood pressure caused by his type of disease is also very dangerous, and it is easy for liver inflammation to disturb his mind and cause stroke.
Due to Lao Shao's hyperactive liver yang, Lao Shao's personality is extremely irritable, and the slightest unpleasant thing will accumulate a lot of anger in his heart, and he will look blushing when he is angry, like a boiled crab, and his neck is also like a balloon being blown up, which looks a lot thicker, and with the rapid wheezing of the neck, there are obvious dynamic changes.
At this time, Lao Shao's qi will be uncomfortable because of the exuberance of the liver fire, and it will also break the normal breathing law because of the rapid wheezing, and finally the qi is not smooth, blocking the chest and diaphragm, causing Lao Shao to feel chest and flank swelling pain, and sometimes the liver fire inflammation will also cause Lao Shao to have migraine symptoms, so for this violent disease, the medicine required must also be heavy, and Zhang Xichun, the miracle doctor of the Republic of China, left a prescription to treat this hyperactive liver yang hypertension.
For the high blood pressure of the hyperactive type of liver yang, Zhang Xichun advocated the use of the liver to extinguish the wind soup to treat, for the liver fire is vigorous, use the nature of the sedimentation of ochre to calm the liver and reduce the inversion, and at the same time use keel, oysters, turtle plates, white peony to benefit the latent yang, has achieved the effect of calming the internal movement of the liver wind, and the various tonic drugs can better regulate the liver qi and soothe the stagnation of the liver.
The old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed this prescription to Lao Shao, and taught Lao Shao a detailed method of boiling and taking, Lao Shao got the treasure, happily went home and began to use the medicine, not to mention, since Lao Shao began to take the liver quenching soup, the mood is much more stable than before, and the frequency of anger has decreased a lot, not to mention, because the anxiety of blood pressure has also gradually decreased, and along with Lao Shao's blood pressure has also decreased, becoming a long-term residence of 125mmHg/78mmHg.
After taking it for 3 months, in March 2019, Lao Shao felt that he no longer had a feeling of chest tightness and headache, and the most important thing is that Lao Shao will not be angry at all because of some trivial things now, and he was calm at the beginning, and the scolding and scolding Lao Shao completely disappeared anytime and anywhere.
Lao Shao found the old Chinese medicine doctor again to express his gratitude, and asked the old Chinese medicine doctor: There are still many people who suffer from high blood pressure like Lao Shao, can you tell them this prescription, so that they can also feel the joy of getting rid of high blood pressure.
Unexpectedly, the old Chinese medicine doctor was shocked and told Lao Shao that he could not give this prescription to others, because everyone's physique is different, and everyone's syndrome type is also different.
Lao Shao wondered, isn't it all high blood pressure, can there be any difference? The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled and said that there are five types of hypertension in Chinese medicine, and there are different prescriptions for treatment according to different types, and if you want to understand and treat high blood pressure from the perspective of Chinese medicine, then it is essential to understand these five types.
Later, the old Chinese medicine doctor added: As long as you understand these five types and use the corresponding prescriptions well, you can not only control your blood pressure very stable, but also get rid of the possibility of taking antihypertensive drugs!
