Stubborn angina pectoris with good effect of herbal treatment
A patient who had two stents placed a year ago had chest tightness and shortness of breath again in the past month, especially after activity, and felt discomfort in the precordial area. The patient went to the hospital and had a coronary angiogram, and the doctor said that it was no longer suitable to put in stents and suggested surgery for bypass, but the patient was unwilling to do the surgery. After taking his pulse and looking at his tongue, he was prescribed 5 doses of Chinese medicine and felt good after eating.

There are some stubborn angina, such as three coronary lesions, which are not suitable for stenting, poor heart function, and cannot be operated, and the risk of doing surgery is too great. In this case, taking Chinese medicine has good effect.
Any kind of treatment has two sides, and so does the stent. On the one hand, the stent can keep the blood vessel open and allow blood flow to pass smoothly; but on the other hand, the stent itself is a foreign body that stimulates the vessel wall and is prone to form restenosis. Therefore, after the stent is placed, some drugs must be taken for a long time to prevent restenosis by antiplatelet and anticoagulation, but some people will still have restenosis in the stent even if they insist on taking drugs such as aspirin and Polivy without compromise and in full accordance with medical advice. This requires a different drug antiplatelet. Then, in this case, taking herbal medicine is also very effective.
The above mentioned we often encounter in the clinic, with Chinese medicine have achieved satisfactory results.
