By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

hi,

i am grtateful that i can post this question and might get a help.
I have chr.fatigue, probably CHF also, lyme disease, guten and other food sensitivities, IBS according to western med.
my acupunturist concluded that i have a high level of yin deficiency.i was given shi quan da bu wan to take 3x8 daily and i go for acupunture 2x weekly.i have so many symptoms:general weakness, muscle pain, weakness, low blood pressure, fainting feeling, terrible heat intolerance i always feel hot in my head and chest, but i have cold limbs(little circulation in feets, hands).palitations, shortness of breath when palpitations occur, lots of active infections(herppes, borrelia etc).
so I am searching for information what else i can help myself to improve the yin deficiency and reduce the heart symptoms and heat intolerance still…
if you have any idea i would be very happy. thank you!

How many acupuncture treatments have you had and how long have you been on the herbs and what effects, if any, have happened?

Yesterday i completed the 8th session of acupu ncture.so far i took 3-4 bottles(200 pills each) of the sdashi quan da bu wan.
I have been taking buhnerherbs (japanese knotweed, andrographis, cats claw, gou teng mostly) since 5.5 months(apr2019).i stopped them for 1.5 weeks but then all neurological symptoms reoccurred so started t take them again in paralel with acupuncture.
For heart symptoms…im trying lot of thinhs: q10, mg, motherwort tincture, salvia miltiorrhiza, carnitin, ginko biloba…etc
But have not found the solution yet. Thank you!
