Palpitation and dizziness

by @ 8:58 pm. Filed under General

Hello,
I just started learning Chinese Medicine. Recently my Mom has a medical condition and I am trying to describe her condition using TCM theory through the application of Yin/Yang, five elements and pathogenic factors, etc.

I appreciate if anyone can help me to explain her syndromes from the TCM point of view, and discuss any possible TCM treatment.

My Mom’s condition follows.

She has been suffering from Type II diabetes since 1993 and has been on medication.

In August this year, she had complaint of palpitation with her heart. The medical tests show that one of the valves in her heart does not perform pumping function properly. This condition creates possibility of blood clotting at the valve that could lead to heart failure.

She was then prescribed 2 drugs (one of them is Aspirin). To my knowledge, Aspirin is a blood thinner and the other drug also includes this same property.

After a month of medication (i.e. for both diabetes and palpitation), she suddenly develops the following syndrome in mid October:
1. Dizziness (poor appetite and tiredness when she is dizzy, she had vomiting during the first incident),
2. Pale complexion, and
3. warm / hot sensation.
To the date of this writing, dizziness occurs on the average of once every 10 days.

I am sorry that I have no information about her tongue colour and pulse.

Thank you very much in advance.

Joe

A patient has Peyronie’s disease (abnormal curvature of the penis) for 4 years.
It all started when he began university and had an unusual (not sexual) interaction with a woman, he remained fully clothed and may have had physical trauma to the erect penis at this time.

He is 22 years old, slightly overweight, a student with a sedentary lifestyle.
He also displays intermittent red itchy rash in the groin region and has had a yeast infection in the past.
His bowels are soft, his tongue has a thick greasy coating, and it effects him emotionally.
He is a light sleeper, pensive, gets colds quite frequently, and describes his digestion as ’sensitive’ presenting with gas and bloating.

Science now says that all cases show a certain plaque & inflammation on the musculature of penis.

Peyronie’s in my opinion may be displaying with autoimmune characteristics (unknown inflammatory response), … My first thought is a clear bland diet (to minimize yeast-immune reactions).

VITAMIN E: this anti-oxidant has other uses in the treatment of scars, and has been employed in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease since 1945.

Is there anything else anyone can recommend? TCM or other?
