There is no hypertension in Chinese medicine, but there are other disease names, which are called vertigo disease, now let's see how Chinese medicine understands hypertension.

What are the types of hypertension in TCM?

1. Hyperactive hepatic yang

Hypertensive liver yang type of hypertension is mainly more common in young people, this is because young people are in a better mental state, when they are in a state of excitement is yang energy will accumulate somewhere, especially the head, at this time there will be obvious symptoms of red face and red ears and dizziness and brain swelling, of course, high blood pressure of liver yang hypertensive type, as long as the problem of hyperactivity of liver yang is solved, high blood pressure can still be controlled, if it is a long-term attack, it may form essential hypertension.

4. Blood stasis obstruction type

If a person often has uncontrollable bad emotions, it usually affects the flow of qi and blood, forming blood stasis. Blood stasis will also lead to obstruction of blood flow, and blood pressure will also increase, which is the cause of the onset of congestion obstruction hypertension. When congestion obstruction type hypertension occurs, the symptoms will be more obvious, with dark purple changes on the lips, and ecchymosis on the tongue coating, at this time, it is necessary to activate blood and remove blood stasis**.

In clinical practice, there will generally be more complex situations, so it is more prudent to choose the method of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine**, so that it will not lead to other complications due to high blood pressure, and it can be effective for the primary disease that causes hypertension**.

Family Doctor Supergroup Here comes the truth

Based on the current level of medical development and examination methods, it is possible to find the exact ** that causes the increase in blood pressure, which is called secondary hypertension; Conversely, if the exact cause of the increase in blood pressure cannot be found, it is called essential hypertension. Most people with hypertension have essential hypertension, but a definitive diagnosis of essential hypertension requires the first exclusion of secondary hypertension. It is currently believed that secondary hypertension accounts for 5% to 10% of the hypertensive population, but with the level of medical development and the means of examination.

As it progresses, the proportion of secondary hypertension will increase and the proportion of essential hypertension will decrease.
