Song Siyuan knew that Keli was not completely relieved yet, so she took out the pills and said: "Shortness of breath, painful face, purple lips, pain in the heart, and body spasms are very typical acute heart diseases. This pill is called An Gong Huxin Pills." , it’s a prescription handed down from traditional Chinese medicine, don’t worry, if something goes wrong with Nayi after eating it, you can kill me without any problem.”
Seeing Song Siyuan like this, Keli nodded towards her and held up Nayi's half body. Then, Song Siyuan took out the pills and put them into Nayi's mouth, and then poured water down her throat.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, Nayi's complexion really improved, her wrinkled facial features gradually smoothed out, and her face returned to normal color from gold paper. Even the beads of sweat on her forehead disappeared. Breathing returned to calmness, and the pain in his chest gradually subsided, eventually allowing his body to relax and return to normal.
"Thank you... thank you."
Nayi wiped away the excess sweat and murmured weakly: "My brother was so rude to you just now because he was worried about me. I know you are both good people, and I should apologize to you on his behalf."
Song Siyuan touched Nayi's hair: "It's okay. Your brother is also worried about you. We are not that stingy. It will be good if all misunderstandings are resolved."
Seeing that Nayi returned to normal, Keli immediately put down the worry on his face and began to look suspicious: "Why do you have these pills? Have you been staring at us for a long time?"
Song Siyuan knew that Keli was suspicious and sensitive, so she opened her backpack. In addition to these An Gong Hu Xin Pills, there were other Chinese and Western medicines, mostly for acute diseases of the heart, brain, blood vessels, internal organs, and other diseases. Some painkillers, hemostatic cream, anti-inflammatory injections, bandages, sore medicine and so on.
"The journey is dangerous, and we are heading to the northwest again. I will be more comprehensive when preparing medicines. There are backup medicines for each organ in the body, so that we can respond in case of injury. In addition to treating angina pectoris, Angong Huxin Pills also treat She suffers from palpitation, shortness of breath, qi congestion and blood stagnation. What I gave Nayi was just one dose among many kinds of medicine."
When Keli learned that they were not being targeted, he completely let down his guard.
Now that medicines were mentioned, Song Siyuan decided to continue asking: "What's going on with Nayi's acute heart disease?"
Keli's face became mysterious: "Mrs. Shaman said that there is a devil living in Nayi's heart. As long as the devil wants to come out, it will cause pain in her heart."
This statement is obviously feudal superstition. Song Siyuan shook her head: "Do you believe these statements?"
Keli shook his head: "You can't believe everything Mrs. Shaman says, but you can't believe it either. I've taken Nayi to see doctors in the past few years. They said pretty much what you said. They all said Nayi had some kind of chronic heart disease. , the attack time is not fixed, once the attack occurs it is extremely painful, and the interval between attacks will become shorter and shorter.”
"Even, there is no way to cure it...I guess this disease comes from fetal disease."
Ke Li looked at Song Siyuan, his eyes widened and nodded: "How do you know."
Song Siyuan nodded towards him: "It seems that I guessed it right. You have taken Nayi to treat the disease for many years, but she has never been cured. It can be seen that this disease is very stubborn. If it is a disease that occurs after growing up, it will never be cured." It can be so protracted and delayed, and even though it can be cured for more than ten years, it cannot be cured, it is probably because it was brought out from the mother's womb."
Keli nodded and touched Nayi's forehead: "When my mother was pregnant with her, she went hunting with her father in the depths of the desert. She has been suffering from heart pain since she was born. Her father said it was caused by the devil. It’s a curse that can never be cured, so I can only spend money to buy expensive herbal soup to relieve it. Despite this, Nayi’s attacks are still increasing, and now, she has attacks several times a month.”
"I didn't believe it at first. I've taken her to see so many doctors over the years. Not only has she not been cured, but it has become more and more serious. As long as one thing Mrs. Shaman said is right, no matter what the congenital heart disease is, They are all the devils living in Nayi's heart. If you want to be completely cured, you must get rid of the devils in her heart."
The northwest is remote, closed and backward. Song Siyuan is not surprised that Keli has such a view, but in her opinion, Nayi's illness is definitely not a demon. She shook her head and explained: "Keli, the medicine I took just now The reason why Nayi can feel better quickly is because the medicine can cure her illness, which shows that although her heart disease is serious, it is still possible to cure it."
"Do you want to know what the devil is in her?"
Keli nodded, the sparkle in his eyes clearly visible: "You say."
Song Siyuan decided to let Keli know about Nayi's illness and explained carefully: "When Nayi got sick, she had colic symptoms in her heart. At the same time, the suffocation and spasm caused by the pain would make her body curl up. The facial features will also be distorted by the force of breathing.”
"Even so, her breathing is not smooth. In the case of acute hypoxia, her mouth will turn berry purple, her face will turn pale due to pain and she will sweat... This situation is called chest pain and heartache in traditional Chinese medicine. Medicine has a special term to describe it, called angina pectoris."
The main cause of angina pectoris is insufficient blood supply to the myocardium. The causes of this disease are very complex. It may be caused by coronary heart disease, other types of heart disease, high blood pressure, or simply due to exercise, fright, fatigue, or greasiness. Triggered by diet.
Once angina pectoris occurs, the patient will quickly feel pain on the surface of the body due to cardiac ischemia. This pain is different from the tearing pain of a wound. It is a bit close to taking an awl and piercing the outer skin along the heart, directly reaching the muscles and heart. , forming an extremely painful stabbing pain that will start from the heart and continuously radiate to the front of the heart, ribs, back spine, and even the muscles and tendons near the abdomen, causing pulling and squeezing pain, and At the same time, it is also accompanied by complications such as body cramps, shortness of breath, elevated blood pressure, sweating and night sweats.
If you want to relieve myocardial angina, you need to expand the heart vessels, increase blood flow, and at the same time reduce the load on the heart and increase oxygen. Putting aside many principles for the time being, the medical community already has a specific drug for relieving angina pectoris, nitroglycerin.
When Song Siyuan said this, her eyes became serious: "As long as this medicine is taken, it will take effect within ten minutes, and the patient will return to normal in about half an hour."
She took out the pills she had just given to Na Yi: "The main ingredient of this An Gong Hu Xin Pill is isosorbide dinitrate. It is precisely because of this that Na Yi's disease can disappear so quickly. I believe that her symptoms usually It definitely won’t ease that quickly, right?”
Keli nodded towards her: "Indeed, even drinking the herbal soup before could only make Nayi sleepy and less painful. The medicine could not cure the disease."
"This thing is very expensive."
Keli has never been out of the northwest, and of course he doesn't know the price of nitroglycerin in the west, but from the fact that the medicine cures the disease, it can be seen that the price of this thing will definitely not be cheap.
"priceless!"
Song Siyuan also didn’t want to lie to Keli: “Nitroglycerin was invented in 1847, which is only a hundred years ago. Since this liquid can easily explode due to vibration, it took nearly seventy years to develop it into a medicine. In this era, the chemical and medical communities have developed slightly less dangerous chemicals such as mannitol nitrate and isosorbide dinitrate, turning them from explosives into pharmaceutical ingredients."
"As of now, the ingredients of these drugs are still under research, and no clear drugs have been formed. Even if they are indeed developed into new drugs, it will take at least another ten years to complete clinical trials on animals and humans."
