Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a patient with High Blood Pressure. Readings vary between 135-140/90. It's not extremely high, but her DR. wants her to take meds...Patient is a 53 year old female, exercises (walking) for 30 minutes, six days a week, no salt in diet, recently lost about 50 pounds, but BP is still a little high. I haven't seen any of the usual HBP signs-due to LR Yang Rising- no headaches, no red face, doesn't have a high level of stress, etc... But the HBP does correlate with the patient's start of menopause signs. These again are not severe, just mild yin deficient signs-some warmth/sweat, wakes up during the night to urinate, at times has restless sleep- waking up every few hours... Would this Yin deficiency lead to a LR yang rising? or could it be a Kidney yang deficiency---there is frequent urination, sometimes urgent. (patient does drink a lot of water during the day, about 3 liters) Any other areas to look at for High Blood Pressure besides LR issues? Also, are any of you familiar with Luo treatments? I briefly learned about a cardiovascular model for Luo treatment where there isn't good peripheral circulation, leading to HBP, also Reynaud's disease (which patient has). Any experience with that? Phew, that was a long one! Thank you for taking the time and reading and (hopefully) responding to this. Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
