Question
The patient has been experiencing headache symptoms since the age of 14, diagnosed with vascular headaches. The symptoms include headaches, unclear brain function, decreased memory, dark circles around the eyes, and numbness in the left hand. Despite taking various medications, the effects have been poor, and one medication (Nairufuren) is no longer available. The patient wants to understand the specific treatment plan for this condition.
Answer
The patient’s symptoms may be related to insufficient Qi and blood circulation, weakness of the heart and spleen, and liver Qi stagnation. First, it is important to improve sleep quality and treat with Chinese herbs such as Zhennao Ning, Danshen Dripping Balls, Shujin Huoxue Decoction, and Guipi Pill. It is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and actively engage in physical exercise. Maintaining a positive mood and avoiding staying up late are crucial for alleviating symptoms.
