A situation like that of Grandpa Choi Min-ho is a persistent headache, the attack lasts for a long time, and it is a difficult and complicated disease.
Xiao Chen showed him his pulse and tongue, and he knew what was going on.
This is obviously caused by the wind poison here.
If it is winter, it may also be related to cold poison.
"Dr. Xiao, how is my grandfather's condition?" Cui Minhao asked.
"Like your grandfather's situation, it can actually be cured by drinking Chinese medicine soup. The problem is that this is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The key is to change the environment."
After all, there is still a problem with the Feng Shui orientation of the house here.
However, a unit here costs tens of millions of Chinese dollars. For Cui Minhao and his family, most of their funds are tied up here.
Unless you sell this villa and buy another luxury villa.
"Dr. Xiao, are you saying that even if you cure my grandfather's disease now, as long as he continues to live here, this situation will still happen?"
"That's true."
Xiao Chen examined Cui Minhao's grandmother and found that in addition to headache symptoms, she even suffered from insomnia and dreaminess due to headaches. In addition, she often felt headaches in her feet.
At first, Xiao Chen thought it was gout, one of the diseases of wealth.
Because there are many such patients in China now, when he checked again, he found that it was not gout, but rheumatoid arthritis.
Gout and rheumatoid arthritis are completely different.
Gout is a common and complex type of arthritis. People of all ages may suffer from this disease. The incidence rate in men is higher than that in women. Gout patients often experience sudden joint pain at night, with acute onset and severe pain in the joints.
, edema, redness, inflammation, and pain slowly reduce until they disappear, lasting for several days or weeks.
When the pain attacks, the patient will wake up from the pain in the middle of the night while sleeping. Some patients describe the pain as if the big toe is on fire. The most commonly affected joint is the big toe, but the joints affected are not limited to this, and are also common in the hands.
Joints, knees, elbows, etc.
The affected joints will eventually become red, swollen, inflamed, and the tissues will become soft due to edema, limiting mobility and ultimately affecting daily life.
These symptoms will reoccur, so once you experience strong or sudden pain in your joints, you should see a doctor promptly to manage your symptoms.
and prevention.
If there is no timely treatment, the consequence of delay is that the pain will become stronger and more unbearable. If you have a fever at this time, it means that inflammation has occurred.
Not only that, the joints themselves will be damaged, the bones will be corroded, leading to joint deformation, and the kidneys will be damaged throughout the disease process. In severe cases, kidney stones or even kidney failure may occur, which is life-threatening.
The essential cause of gout is the increase in uric acid levels in the body, which causes the deposition of urate in the joints and kidneys.
Generally speaking, the main causes of gout include but are not limited to: dietary reasons. After eating too much meat and seafood, and drinking too much beer, the body's uric acid level increases, which may cause urate deposition.
Obesity, the consequence of obesity is an increase in uric acid in the body, and the kidneys cannot completely remove excess uric acid.
Taking certain medications that can increase uric acid levels in the body.
Family history, if a family member has gout, your chance of getting the disease will also be greatly increased.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a common acute or chronic connective tissue inflammation.
Rheumatoid arthritis, commonly referred to as rheumatic fever, is one of the main manifestations of rheumatic fever. It is clinically characterized by migratory soreness, redness, swelling, and pain in joints and muscles. It is related to Group A B-hemolytic Streptococcus infection, cold, humidity and other factors.
This disease can be induced. Large joints of the lower limbs, such as knees and ankles, are most commonly affected.
Obviously, in the case of Grandma Cui Minhao, the villa is too close to the sea and is affected by the sea wind and moisture all year round, which causes her to develop symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
In many countries, the really rich don't live in beach houses.
First of all, beach villas are prone to natural disasters such as typhoons. In addition, they are easily affected by moisture, which can cause pain to the body.
On the contrary, those rich people live in the mountains or in places far away from the sea.
Like the anti-theft nets on the doors and windows of many beachside villas, they are easily corroded by moisture.
Moreover, these sea breezes still carry the effect of salt.
Of course, the main reason why we are here now is because it is a wind outlet and it is easy to store a large amount of wind here.
"Dr. Xiao, how is my grandma?"
"In addition to your grandma's headaches, her rheumatoid arthritis is quite serious.
You should stay away from the sea, the humidity here is too heavy, and as you age, your bones are more susceptible to moisture poisoning."
moisture?
Damp poison?
Although Cui Minhao had heard of it, he didn't expect that it was really like that.
When Xiao Chen took Cui Minhao out to take a look, he found that many of the fences on the outer wall were still corroded even if they were painted.
What about people?
This time, Cui Minhao finally understood.
According to the physical conditions of these two old men, Xiao Chen planned to prescribe them respectively medicines to treat headaches and rheumatoid arthritis.
This should take some time to get better.
However, Xiao Chen didn't know whether Cui Minhao's family had moved away.
He said everything that needed to be said.
After showing it to the two old people, when Xiao Chen went outside, he discovered that this place was not actually land, but a community made from tidal flats and reclaimed from the sea.
If that were the case, the humidity in the house would definitely be higher.
No wonder Xiao Chen felt strange when he came over.
Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan followed behind.
In fact, Xiao Chen also likes the sea, but he knows that liking the sea does not mean living by the sea. It doesn't matter if he lives on vacation occasionally, but if he lives by the sea for a long time, he really can't stand it.
It's now almost 11 o'clock in the morning, and the sun is shining a bit.
After walking outside for more than half an hour, when they returned to the villa, Cui Minhao's sister and the nanny had already gone to get lunch and were ready to greet Xiao Chen and the others warmly.
Just before lunch time, Cui Minhao's parents, a middle-aged couple who looked a bit pudgy, drove back.
When the two heard that their son was back, they brought a traditional Chinese medicine doctor back to treat their grandparents. They didn't feel anything at first.
However, after learning that the person who came was Dr. Xiao, who was participating in the Oriental Medicine Competition.
After Xiao Chen greeted Cui Minhao's parents, he didn't say much more about the feng shui issues in this house. If they were willing to move, Cui Minhao told him that the couple would probably move.
However, they are not the chaebols of Goryeo. It is actually a bit difficult to sell this house and buy another one.
