Chapter 955 Potential Crisis
Chen Yang's fingers were placed on Lin Lao's wrist, but his brows slowly frowned.
The shadow of the locust tree in the yard stretched and shortened on the ground. Lin Zhenxing stood quietly holding his son, even his breathing became lighter.
As the saying goes, we are not afraid of Western medicine smiling, but we are afraid of Chinese medicine looking down on us.
As Chen Yang frowned, Lin Zhenxing's heart also rose to his throat.
It was not until Chen Yang withdrew his fingers that the stagnant silence in the air quietly loosened.
"Grandpa Lin..."
Chen Yang's voice was steady, but his eyes were solemn: "You are usually full of energy, and your diet and sleep are OK, but... since the beginning of autumn, do you often feel dry mouth in the middle of the night and need to drink water to moisten your throat? Do you wake up easily in the early morning (3-5 am) and have difficulty falling asleep?"
Elder Lin's hand holding the teacup paused in the air, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes: "Xiao Chen, you are an expert at taking pulses. He did have this problem, but I thought it was because he got old and didn't sleep enough. Drinking some water helped him close his eyes for a while, so I didn't take it seriously."
"not only that."
Chen Yang shook his head and tapped his fingertips on the stone table twice unconsciously: "You are afraid of the cold in winter and must rely on heavy furs, but your hands and feet feel hot, especially at night, and you even have to stick your head out of the quilt? You are energetic during the day, but often feel tired in the afternoon, and your head is sometimes slightly dizzy, as if you are looking at flowers through the fog?"
When diagnosing a senior like Mr. Lin, Chen Yang really needs to organize his words well.
Moreover, Chen Yang's frowning expression just now was also deliberate.
At Chen Yang's level, most illnesses are not enough to cause emotional changes in Chen Yang.
But sometimes, doctors need to show some expression to make patients and their families realize the seriousness of the problem.
Lin Zhenxing's expression gradually changed.
Mr. Lin put down the teacup, and the porcelain bottom hit the stone surface, making a crisp sound.
"No wonder Zhenxing told me that Xiao Chen, you are a very good player, comparable to a national player. Your words really hit the nail on the head."
Elder Lin smiled and said, "After all, at this age, you don't need to worry about minor ailments."
Listening to his grandfather's words, Lin Zhenxing did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked Chen Yang: "Chen Yang, tell me, what kind of danger is hidden in this pulse?
Chen Yang pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The pulse is stringy, hard and astringent, and it feels hollow when pressed hard, like pressing the skin of a drum. This is a sign of true cold and false heat, and the external floating of the false yang. On the surface, it looks energetic, but in fact it is the brightest flame before a dying lamp. Chinese medicine calls it 'the oil in the lamp is gone, and the fire of dragon and thunder does not return to its home'."
After a pause, Chen Yang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Grandpa Lin, do you take warming and tonic products all year round? Such as ginseng antler, deer antler, cinnamon and aconite?"
Lin Zhenxing nodded immediately: "Yes! Grandpa's old subordinates found century-old mountain ginseng from the northeast in the early years, and there is also a special supply of blood deer antlers. The health care team also prescribed a paste prescription for warming the kidney and boosting yang, saying that it can prolong life and strengthen the body. It has never been discontinued over the years."
"This is the crux of the matter!" Chen Yang's tone suddenly became serious. "Grandpa Lin is already old, and his Yuan Yin (kidney Yin) has dried up, just like dry land. These drugs that are very spicy and hot, and that replenish Yuan Yang, are like pouring oil on dry wood! In the short term, they may seem to boost spirits, but in fact, they are at the expense of overdrawing the remaining True Yin, and promoting the virtual fire to float above! In the long run..."
Chen Yang paused, and continued, "When the Yin is exhausted below and the Yang is lost above, the mildest case is a stroke, hemiplegia, and mental confusion; the worst case is... fainting overnight, and the Yin and Yang are separated!"
"Hiss..." Lin Zhenxing took a breath and his face turned pale instantly.
He never thought that those tonics that were regarded as precious could actually be death warrants!
Elder Lin was silent for a moment, his wrinkled face showing no emotion, and he only asked, "Xiao Chen, what do you think we should do?"
"The most urgent thing is to treat the symptoms and bring the fire back to its source!"
Chen Yang said: "You must stop taking all warming and tonic products immediately! I'll prescribe a prescription called 'Yinhuo Decoction' combined with 'Qianyang Fengsui Pill' with additions and subtractions, which is intended to guide the dragon into the sea, lead the floating fire back to the kidney house, and use a large dose of yin-nourishing products to make up for the loss of true yin."
As he spoke, Chen Yang picked up his pen and wrote a prescription:
Rehmannia root 90g (main ingredient, tonifies true yin, nourishes water and contains wood), Morinda officinalis 30g (assistant ingredient, warms but not dry, guides fire downward), Poria 15g (assistant ingredient, invigorates spleen and calms heart, guides virtual heat downward), Ophiopogon japonicus 30g (assistant ingredient, nourishes yin of heart and lung), Schisandra chinensis 6g (assistant ingredient, restrains floating yang, promotes fluid and restrains sweat), Cinnamon bark 3g (make it as big as rice grains, grind into powder, and take with the juice! Take advantage of its miraculous effect of guiding fire back to the origin), Raw dragon bone 30g, Raw oyster 30g (suppresses yang, calms the mind and settles the mind), Amomum villosum 10g (added last, absorbs qi and returns to kidney, prevents greasy and obstructive stomach), Roasted Licorice root 15g (harmonizes all the ingredients, tonifies qi in the middle)
Three doses, decoct quickly and take frequently, finish the dose in one day and one night!
After writing the prescription, Chen Yang stood up and said, "Grandpa Lin, Brother Lin, I'll leave first. If you have any questions, Brother Lin, please call me anytime."
Chen Yang knew very well that for a patient of Mr. Lin's level, it was not so simple to treat him with medicine. If it was an obvious emergency, it would be fine. At present, Mr. Lin seemed to be in good condition. In this case, the medicine prescribed by Chen Yang must be discussed with Mr. Lin's health care team.
This was also the reason why Chen Yang hesitated just now.
Mr. Lin’s health care team must include a core expert in traditional Chinese medicine.
In other words, what Chen Yang said just now was equivalent to questioning the level of the experts in Lin's health care team. If someone were to be narrow-minded, they might even blame Chen Yang.
So after writing the prescription, Chen Yang didn't say much and left first. He had said what he needed to say, and the rest was for the health care team experts to discuss.
"I'll take you there." Lin Zhenxing stood up and said.
If Chen Yang wants to go down the mountain, Lin Zhenxing will definitely send him off, because the place where Old Lin lives is not one that one can enter and leave casually.
After getting in the car, Lin Zhenxing asked Chen Yang while driving: "Chen Yang, is my grandfather's health really that serious?"
"After all, he's that old."
Chen Yang said slowly: "Old people of this age usually look healthy, but the dangers hidden in their bodies cannot be ignored."
"Old people are not like young people. A small problem can be a big problem."
When you are young, in good health, and have a good foundation, you have more room for error. Even if you get sick, it will not kill you instantly. But it is different for the elderly. No matter how healthy they are normally, a minor illness or disaster may cause their body to collapse instantly.
The human body is healthy only when it maintains a balance. Young people have good body functions and sufficient positive energy, so even if the balance is broken, the body will not fall apart. Old people are like a broken car; as long as the balance is maintained, the car can still drive, but once the balance is broken, it may be scrapped.
What's more, the hidden crisis in Mr. Lin's body is not a small crisis.
"Chen Yang, thank you." Lin Zhenxing thanked him.
Lin Zhenxing just had a spur of the moment idea just now. Thinking that Chen Yang rarely came, he asked Chen Yang to check his grandfather. Unexpectedly, he actually found out the problem.
After sending Chen Yang home, Lin Zhenxing called his father while driving back quickly.
Just when Lin Zhenxing returned, Mr. Lin's medical team was having a heated discussion about Chen Yang's prescription and diagnosis.
