What medication to take for emphysema and pulmonary heart disease

When it comes to emphysema and pulmonary heart disease, the specific medications used in Chinese medicine are very different from those used in Western medicine. In general, most emphysema is caused by obstructive lung disease, so when Western medicine is used, generally speaking, some drugs to relieve airway obstruction are more commonly used, such as inhaled airway dilators or inhaled hormones, or some oral medications, such as drugs to dilate the trachea and bronchus. In the case of pulmonary heart disease, diuretics may be used, and infusions of drugs to reduce pulmonary vascular pressure may be required. However, in TCM, all these medications can be treated on the basis of a unified and holistic diagnosis. In addition, the Chinese medicine prescriptions can take care of the obstruction of the airway, and use the lung-clearing and lung-liberating drugs to relieve the pressure of emphysema, and can also be combined with drugs to benefit the qi and blood to relieve the harm of pulmonary heart disease. Of course, this identification needs to be adjusted according to the patient’s condition at any time, generally speaking, it is mainly based on tonics, because it is relatively easy to adjust the formula. We do not use all the medicines together.
