High Blood Pressure Case

[brianvaitkus]

Since he’s feeling better, and his diastolic BP is less than 100, I’d feel less worried about the BP – it’s a symptom that I’ve found doesn’t do too well to base my herbal rx’s off anyhow, and I measure most of my pts BP. Once we find a good formula, it generally goes down slowly, and takes time. That said, sometimes a person seems to be doing great on all subjective points without a lot of BP improvement. As long as their BP related symptoms are not headaches or nosebleeds or tinnitus, I personally don’t worry about it too much if they’re improving and not in stroke territory. (In this case I might worry if the headpressure were to worsen). That doesn’t answer the Fuling at 24 question specifically – but maybe wait for a few rounds at 12? 🙂

Hi Laurie. Thank you for your response – it really helped me rethink this case. I ended up giving my patient CHGZGJT-THF+BX,GG. Patient felt equally good on this formula as the XXT formulas. Nose continues to feel less dry. BP is coming down. Energy continues to be significantly better. Sleep mostly good, but a little bit of waking sometimes. There is still eye sensitivity: patient says the eyes get dry and foggy, and there is a sense of film over his eyes especially when looking at screens. Pulse now looks like: L r/u, cun deeper, slippery, guan middepth wiry, dong 1/2, chi deep wiry. R cun deep tight, guan big wiry, maybe dong, chi deep and not wiry. Overall pulse feels less deep. I can see the CHGZGJT pattern. I see less of the GG since the R cun is less big and more deep, tight. I am thinking I will give CHGZGJT+FL and JH.
