Question
The patient has had pediatric tic disorder since childhood, with symptoms including eye twitching and sounds from the nose and throat. At the age of 13 to 14, the patient experienced difficulty breathing and frequent yawning, which may be signs of brain hypoxia. At 17, during school hours, the patient exhibited symptoms of somnolence, a decline in learning ability, and was in a drowsy state all day, with a significant decline in memory. Recently, the patient found that they could no longer remember the names of colleagues, causing great concern. The patient is worried that they may have brain atrophy and inquires about how to deal with it.
Answer
Tic disorder is caused by cerebral organic changes and is often associated with cerebral vascular stenosis or obstruction (such as angiomas). The traditional Chinese medicine formula “Brain Vitality Tonic” is believed to be effective, capable of curing the disorder permanently without recurrence.
