Ms. A, 33 years old, (CL255742)
The patient sought medical advice due to insomnia for 1 month.
She said that she had difficulty falling asleep and woke up easily. She was still very energetic at 12 o'clock in the evening and had no sleepiness. Even if she could fall asleep, she woke up easily. In severe cases, she could only sleep for 2-3 hours. In addition, she also had hair loss and oily hair. Other symptoms: occasional headaches, swelling, and difficulty breathing. The last menstruation was delayed for half a month. She likes to exercise, but her heart rate is very fast when exercising, and she feels a little uncomfortable. She is prone to catching colds in winter.
Tongue: Pale
Pulse: floating string
Treatment: Acupuncture (back, head) 20 minutes, abdomen 20 minutes. Chinese medicine 5 days.
Effect: After acupuncture, I asked her how she felt. She said she felt sleepy after acupuncture on her back for a few minutes. I said that my diagnosis was correct and she should take the medicine for a few more days to see if there is any improvement.
Follow-up visit: 2 weeks later, Ms. A said that her sleep was normal during the medication period, and after stopping the medication, it was slightly worse, but it has improved significantly. Her period came 3 days after the initial visit.
Analysis: Yang in the human body controls our daily needs, including physical strength, concentration, etc. At 5 pm, Yang enters the five internal organs and controls their operation, including the exchange of substances, repair of damage, etc. When Yang is stored, human metabolism, work ability, and concentration are weakened. Due to work pressure, Ms. A's Yang has been in the head for a long time to cope with work, which weakens the effectiveness of Yang entering the internal organs and makes Yang float on the top (head). Therefore, the head is often in a tense and concentrated state, affecting sleep. Therefore, the treatment method is to replenish kidney Qi, purge heart fire, and reduce heart fire. Sufficient kidney Qi can enhance the ability to store Yang. It can dispel and reduce the heart fire, reduce the floating virtual fire and lower it to the abdomen and internal organs.
