Patient Details:
Female 65 years old
Problem Faced:
She had a sudden pain in chest at midnight. It was not a gastric pain but the radiating pain was gradually increasing and it was unbearable. She was not able to lie down in the bed.
Treatment Adopted:
A single needle was inserted and kept for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes the pain started reducing and by the end of session it was reduced by 90%. Then bloodletting was done which reduced the heaviness of the chest. In the morning ECG was checked and it was diagnosed as the pain was due to Inter costal muscular spasm i.e. spasm of the muscles between ribs. Accordingly the acupuncture treatment was given for next 3 days.
Result:
Three days later, the pain was stopped completely and she could perform her routine activities.
