Disease description:

Today my husband felt a bit of palpitations and dizziness. After going to the hospital, the doctor said it was due to blocked blood vessels. My mom suggested taking Feiqizhong tablets, but we don't know much about this medication—can he take it?

Dr. Chen Qirui
Blocked blood vessels can usually be treated with Feiqizhong tablets. These tablets have effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, tonifying the kidneys, enhancing vital energy, as well as eliminating phlegm and relieving cough. Clinically, they are primarily used to treat symptoms caused by emphysema, such as excessive coughing with phlegm, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. However, this medication should be taken under a doctor's guidance to avoid potential adverse reactions.
