Disease description:
I have hypertension and am prone to emotional excitement. My doctor prescribed Jiwei Zhenxin Granules for me. May I ask if Jiwei Zhenxin Granules are a type of hormone medication?

Jiuyi Zhenxin Granules are not hormonal medications. They are a traditional Chinese medicine compound primarily composed of ingredients such as ginseng (with the芦 removed), sour jujube seed, schisandra fruit, poria, polygala root, corydalis tuber, asparagus root, prepared rehmannia root, and cinnamon bark, among others. This medication functions to nourish the heart and spleen and to benefit qi and calm the mind. It is mainly used for treating generalized anxiety disorder with symptoms of heart and spleen deficiency and insufficiency, including insomnia, frequent dreaming, palpitations, poor appetite, fatigue, dizziness, and lightheadedness. As a prescription medicine, Jiuyi Zhenxin Granules should be used correctly under a doctor's guidance. Patients who are allergic to any components of the medication should not use it, and those with allergic constitutions should use it cautiously. During treatment, patients should maintain a bland diet, avoid raw, cold, spicy, or greasy foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol consumption.
