In the hot summer weather, some coronary heart disease “old patients” will feel the chest is “pressed” like a stone, often feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, but also sweating, it is very uncomfortable. In the summer heat, patients with coronary artery disease have poor self-regulatory ability and are prone to chest tightness, sweating and other discomforts, and in severe cases can trigger acute coronary events such as myocardial infarction. To alleviate these symptoms, you can add various types of “ginseng” to the diet for daily conditioning. High temperatures are prone to dehydration, heart attack “stupid” summer many patients with coronary heart disease do tend to appear chest tightness, shortness of breath and other discomfort, which is related to several reasons. 1, summer heat, the body sweats a lot, if not timely replenishment of water, the blood will be in a highly viscous state, prone to the formation of thrombosis, acute heart attack. 2, patients with coronary heart disease long-term medication, there is often qi deficiency, summer sweating, its qi more deficient, making blood stasis heavier, will cause coronary heart disease aggravation and deterioration of the condition. In addition, many people like to stay in air-conditioned rooms in summer, “hot outside and cold inside”, the temperature difference, strong vasoconstriction, coupled with the poor regulatory ability of patients with coronary artery stenosis, it is easy to have an angina attack, in serious cases, acute myocardial infarction will occur. In general, the body is prone to water shortage in summer because of sweating, and patients with coronary heart disease are vulnerable to heart attack when they are in a state of water shortage. Patients with coronary heart disease should be hydrated in time after sweating. It is recommended that patients with coronary heart disease drink 250-300 ml of warm water in the morning before getting up to eat breakfast, which is good for preventing morning attacks of cardiovascular disease. Use good “ginseng” to improve chest discomfort Summer coronary heart disease patients are prone to chest tightness, shortness of breath symptoms, to improve these symptoms, in addition to timely hydration, what else do you need to do? Most patients with coronary heart disease have chest congestion and shortness of breath, which are caused by Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, so to improve these symptoms, we need to properly benefit Qi and activate blood, among which ginseng is a good choice. According to the patient’s constitution, we can use ginseng, red ginseng, American ginseng, party ginseng (15-20 grams), prince’s ginseng and other ginseng to make medicinal meals, or make water to drink, which has the effect of nourishing the heart. In addition, blood invigorating herbs such as Salvia miltiorrhiza and Radix Panax notoginseng can be added to synergistically improve the state of qi deficiency and blood stasis. In the choice of ginseng, patients can choose according to their weakness: if they have serious qi deficiency and a cold body, they can take ginseng, or red ginseng (2~3 grams); if they have both qi and yin deficiency, they can choose American ginseng; those who have less serious qi deficiency, or those who have both heart and spleen deficiency can take party ginseng; those who are deficient in tonic can use princely ginseng, but those who have a cold body and are prone to diarrhea are not suitable to But people with cold body and diarrhea are not suitable to take American ginseng. In addition, if chest tightness strikes, you can press the Nei Guan, Shen Men, Tan Zhong and Lao Gong points to help improve the symptoms. Pressing Neiguan and massaging Laogong will benefit Qi and nourish Yin to stop the false sweating Patients with coronary heart disease have symptoms of chest tightness in summer, and excessive sweating is also a big worry, especially some patients will have a lot of false sweating. So, what kind of sweat is deficient sweating? The person who sweats will feel fatigue after sweating, or accompanied by symptoms such as chills, dizziness, panic, etc.; or move to sweat profusely, even if sitting also keep sweating; in addition, if in sleep is not very hot also sweating, this in abnormal sweating is also false sweating, Chinese medicine is called night sweating. To improve the problem of sweating in patients with coronary heart disease, there are two situations to start with, namely sweating mainly during the day, or sweating with a little activity is mostly qi deficiency, to replenish the qi, and sweating at night belongs to yin deficiency, to nourish yin mainly. The majority of people who sweat at night, known as night sweats in Chinese medicine, are Yin deficient, so they need to benefit from Qi and nourish Yin, and can take American ginseng, and also eat some lily of the valley, lotus seeds, maitake, yucca, sage, soup or sugar water. People who sweat a lot during the day can eat some ginseng to nourish their qi. In addition, if you sweat a lot, you can also try moxibustion.
