Dong’s Qi acupoints can be used to treat atrial fibrillation and relieve uncomfortable symptoms such as panic, dyspnea and chest pain caused by atrial fibrillation, but the exact effect varies from person to person. The commonly chosen acupoints include Xinmen, Tongguan, Tongtian and Tongshan.
Atrial fibrillation is the full name of atrial fibrillation, which is characterized by symptoms such as panic, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, and blackout (sudden blackness before the eyes). It belongs to the category of “palpitation” and “chest pain” in Chinese medicine.
Xinmen is located at the medial depression of the ulna bone, 1.5 inches from the tip of the elbow. Tongguan point is 5 inches above the transverse line of the knee joint, Tongshan point is 2 inches straight up from Tongguan point, and Tongtian point is 4 inches straight up from Tongguan point. All of the above points can be used to relieve the discomfort caused by atrial fibrillation.
It should be noted that if needling is required, it needs to be done by a professional doctor.
