First of all, it should be clear that syncopal headache is a Chinese medicine concept, high blood pressure is a Western medicine concept, they do not belong to the same category, so it does not directly prove that syncopal headache can cause high blood pressure. In clinical practice, high blood pressure is sometimes accompanied by syncopal headache.
A syncopal headache (headache caused by an attack on the syncopal meridian) is a type of headache in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), meaning that the headache manifests itself in the area where the syncopal meridian circulates. It is characterized by pain in the top of the head or in the eye system, accompanied by dry heaving, vomiting of thin saliva, and cold extremities (cold extremities, even to the elbows and above the knees), etc. The mechanism of this disease lies in the fact that the syncopated yin meridian has been attacked by the evil spirits.
The mechanism of this disease lies in the fact that the foot syncopal liver meridian is connected with the stomach and liver, and goes out and meets with the directing vein at the top of the headache, which causes headache at the top of the headache due to the deficiency and coldness of the liver and stomach, and the cold and turbid qi rushes upward along with the liver meridian. It is treated with Wu Zhu Tang, which is composed of Wu Zhu, ginseng, jujube and ginger, and has the effects of warming the middle Jiao, tonifying the deficiency, lowering the rebelliousness and stopping vomiting (stopping the upward rush of gastric qi and stopping vomiting).
The adverse effects of the above formula are not known. Patients with symptoms such as high blood pressure and headache should go to the hospital promptly to avoid cerebrovascular accidents. Identify the cause of the disease and standardize the treatment, it is not advisable to take medicines on one’s own.
