Li Bin, a 52-year-old man from Guizhou, has high blood pressure for many years, and has been taking nifedipine to lower blood pressure, and his blood pressure has stabilized a lot in recent years. Since 2015, this balance has been upset.
In early April, he went upstairs to go home after buying groceries. But as soon as I arrived on the third floor, I began to pant and tingle in my chest, and then cold sweat began to break out on my forehead. Fortunately, after staying in place for less than two minutes, the symptoms disappeared on their own. When he was completely stable, he continued upstairs and walked home. Until late at night, he still felt his heart beat faster and couldn't calm down.
The next morning, Li Bin woke up and found refreshed, as if last night's abnormality was a dream. After re-measuring his blood pressure, he realized that the situation was stable, and over time he forgot about it, until an accident a month later, he realized the importance of the matter.
On the afternoon of May 12th, he asked a few friends to go to the chess and card room to play cards, and he had already won a lot in the middle of the process. When he won the next hand, he suddenly burst out excitedly, accompanied by the movement of opening his mouth, his face was tilted to one side, his limbs shook unconsciously, and his speech became slurred.
My friend was frightened by this scene and quickly called the emergency number. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor urgently examined him, and the electrocardiogram showed that the ST band was increased and the T wave was inverted. Subsequently, a cardiac ultrasound was arranged, which showed no obvious abnormalities. Coronary artery contrast CT showed that the patient had moderate stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery, with a stenosis of 55%, and multiple atherosclerosis of both coronary arteries, and was diagnosed with coronary heart disease.
Coronary heart disease, also known as coronary heart disease, is a cardiovascular disease, because the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle are narrowed or blocked, resulting in reduced blood flow to the myocardium, so that the myocardium does not get enough oxygen and nutrients, causing a series of heart problems, such as angina, myocardial infarction, etc. The coronary arteries are blood vessels on the surface of the heart that supply nutrients and oxygen to the heart. When these blood vessels are narrowed due to the accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, the blood supply to the heart is affected.
After waking up, Li Bin learned the ins and outs of the matter. Only then did I know that my sudden syncope was not unrelated to heart problems, and the cause of this disease was because of my irregular medication habits, and my blood pressure could not be continuously well controlled, which then became the cause of coronary heart disease.
After being discharged from the hospital, Li Bin kept this lesson in mind, and basically stopped three times a day for taking medicine, and began to be cautious in his living habits, strictly implementing a light diet with less oil and less salt, avoiding the intake of long-term greasy diets, and when he had time, he would exercise, walk, play Tai Chi, dance square dance, etc., and none of them would be left behind.
After three months, he went to the hospital. However, it didn't turn out as well as he thought. When I returned home depressed, I was surprised to learn that Danshen tablets can help lower blood pressure and maintain cardiovascular health. Seeing this, Li Bin suddenly became interested, and hurriedly went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy some salvia tablets to boil water or stew soup to drink.
Danshen tablets are a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine preparation, which is mainly composed of Danshen extract. Salvia has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, especially in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Salvia miltiorrhiza contains a variety of active ingredients, such as tanshinonone, salvianolic acid B, etc., which have multifaceted pharmacological effects and have a significant effect on maintaining heart health.
Danshen tablets protect the heart by promoting blood circulation, preventing platelet aggregation and anti-inflammatory. Specifically, salvia is able to dilate the coronary arteries and increase the blood supply to the heart, which is very beneficial for the prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease and the relief of symptoms such as angina. In addition, some of the ingredients in salvia also have antioxidant effects, which can remove free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress damage to the heart.
By inhibiting platelet aggregation, Danshen tablets can prevent thrombosis and reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. This effect is particularly important to prevent blood vessel blockage and maintain blood vessel access. At the same time, Danshen tablets also have anti-inflammatory effects, which can effectively reduce the inflammatory response of heart tissue and protect heart health.
When he first started taking salvia tablets, he always felt that the taste was bitter and difficult to swallow, but after a long time, he got used to this strange taste. With the elongation of the medication cycle, he slowly felt the changes, not only more energetic, but also looked a lot more ruddy, and his reaction was much stronger than before.
A year later, Li Bin went to the hospital for a follow-up examination with a nervous mood. After investigation, it was learned that his recovery was even better than he thought. The doctor also showed surprise when he saw this result, and said: "It's really a god, it stands to reason that few patients with coronary heart disease can recover as well as you, let alone in such a short period of time, especially if you have high blood pressure, it's incredible!" ”
Regarding the doctor's praise, Li Bin smiled embarrassedly and explained: "I actually don't do anything special, it's just to take medicine on time, and I like to take Danshen tablets for health care." The doctor disagreed with this answer and continued: "You are wrong, you are not the only one who is taking Danshen tablets, it is rare to achieve such good results!" I guess there's some secret weapon. ”
With the other party's questioning, Li Bin thought for a moment and replied: "What secret weapon can I have, I am just an ordinary person, if I really say that there is, it may only be because I paid attention to these two key points during the period of taking Danshen tablets, which maximizes the efficacy of the medicine." ”
Danshen tablets are mainly composed of salvia, which has a variety of effects such as blood circulation and blood stasis, blood circulation, and angina pectoris, and is widely used in the treatment of coronary heart disease, angina, cerebrovascular diseases and other related diseases. However, salvia tablets are not suitable for all people.
For example, people who are allergic to salvia itself or other ingredients in salvia tablets should avoid using it; It is generally not recommended for pregnant and lactating women because the drug may adversely affect the fetus or baby. In addition, Danshen tablets may increase the risk of bleeding for patients with blood clotting dysfunction.
1. Dosage and time of Danshen tablets
Although Danshen tablets are made of Chinese herbal medicine, they are not "natural and safe", and their dosage and dosage should be strictly guided by the doctor's instructions or instructions. Overdose may cause adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive symptoms, and in severe cases, it may lead to damage to organs such as liver and kidneys.
Conversely, if the dose is too low, the desired therapeutic effect may not be achieved. In addition, the time of taking Danshen tablets is equally important. Some diseases or symptoms require long-term use of Danshen tablets to achieve significant results, and interruption or arbitrary change of the time of use may affect the efficacy. Therefore, patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions, take the medicine on time and in accordance with the dosage, and do not increase or decrease the dose or adjust the treatment plan by themselves.
2. Focus on drug interactions
Some medications, such as anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, etc., may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with Danshen tablets. Therefore, if you need to use other drugs while taking Danshen tablets, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist in advance to find out if there is an interaction between the two drugs, and adjust the drug usage or dosage if necessary.
In addition, the diet and lifestyle habits of Danshen tablets during the treatment process are also extremely important. Patients should maintain good living habits, avoid greasy, spicy and other irritating foods, and should do appropriate physical exercise to promote good health.
To sum up, in the process of taking Danshen tablets, patients must be clear about the indications and contraindications, and follow the correct dosage and time, which is essential to ensure the efficacy and safety of the drug. It is important to be vigilant for any adverse effects of the drug throughout the medication process and communicate with medical professionals in a timely manner so that the treatment regimen can be adjusted in a timely manner. With the guidance and self-management of professionals, Danshen tablets can maximize the effectiveness of the treatment of related diseases while minimizing the risks.
