Chapter 17 Coronary Heart Disease
"Crown Prince, are you okay?" Zhang Zong was shocked when he saw Li Hong's face was in pain.
"Don't panic, I'm fine!" Li Hong waved his hand to Zhang Zong at this time, then took a few long breaths, but his face became paler and a lot of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Cousin, have you committed an old problem again?" Xue Shao finally stopped chopsticks and asked with concern.
"An old problem?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought of Li Hong's condition.
"My cousin has often felt ache since he was a child, like a knife. The imperial doctor tried every means to cure it. It seems to have worsened in the past two years." Xue Shao explained to Zhang Zong.
"Anginal pectoris?" Zhang Zong was shocked and then looked at Li Hong and spoke, "When the prince's heart is cramped, will it spread to his shoulders and arms, and in severe cases, it will even cause numbness to the tips of his fingers?"
"How do you know?" Although Li Hong's chest hurt so much, he showed a surprised expression when he heard Zhang Zong's words. His condition was actually strictly confidential. Apart from people close to Xue Shao, only the imperial doctor who treated him knew about it.
"Well, my father had this old problem before." Zhang Zong said with a dry cough, but Li Hong and the others didn't know that Zhang Zong was his father in later generations. The old man had coronary heart disease, and angina pectoris was the most typical symptom. His cardiopulmonary resuscitation was also afraid that he would fall into shock when he was sick, so he learned it specifically.
"That's a coincidence. I didn't expect that Xue Shi Zhang and I had the same disease." Li Hong shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this. His heartache was born and tortured him since he was a child. Moreover, it has become more and more serious in the past two years and is even unable to handle government affairs. This is also the main reason why he moved to Furongyuan to recuperate.
"Your Highness, don't talk anymore. You should go over soon after a rest!" Zhang Zong stood up and poured a glass of water for Li Hong. Generally, the angina pectoris does not last long, at most, only a few minutes, and a few minutes will pass. Of course, you must stop activities and rest during this period, otherwise it will only aggravate the condition.
Li Hong nodded, drank a sip of water and closed his eyes to rest. The onset time this time was very short, at most five or six minutes. The pain on his face finally disappeared slowly. Finally, he finally breathed a long sigh and opened his eyes and said, "It's okay!"
"I had known that the prince had this disease, I shouldn't have eaten hot pot just now!" Zhang Zong said with some fear at this time. Li Hong had a heart disease, so he should pay special attention to his diet, such as low salt and oil, which is mainly light, but hot pot is the opposite. If Li Hong really wants to eat it, he will not be able to afford it.
"Why can't I eat hot pot?" Li Hong asked strangely when he heard this.
"Uh? The prince doesn't know? The imperial doctor has never told you what you need to pay attention to in your diet?" Zhang Zong asked strangely.
"The imperial doctor said that I would eat lighter, but they mainly asked me to take medicine for treatment." Li Hong replied.
Zhang Zong suddenly realized that in this era of backward medical conditions, the ancients did not have much medical knowledge. In the case of Li Hong, Zhang Zong guessed that eight out of ten were coronary heart disease, and angina pectoris was just an external manifestation. As for the treatment of coronary heart disease, it was generally 70% nourishment and 30% cure. If you want to cure it, you can only undergo surgery.
"Your Highness, I don't know whether to say something?" Zhang Zong hesitated for a moment and spoke again.
"You don't have to worry, just say anything!" Li Hong smiled again.
Zhang Zong hesitated again at this time, then seemed to make up his mind and finally looked up and said, "My father and the prince's condition are very similar. When he was in his twenties, he once met a miracle doctor. The miracle doctor said that my father's disease could not be cured and could only be cured for seven parts and three parts, otherwise he would not have survived thirty. Later, my father followed the advice of the miracle doctor. Although he could not quit drinking, he lived very healthily until he was in his forties. Unfortunately, he died of alcohol in the end."
"What do you say about that miracle doctor?" Li Hong also asked excitedly when he heard this. His condition was getting worse and worse, especially the angina pectoris attacks became more and more frequent, and sometimes he felt a sense of dying, which made him often worry that his life would not last long. Now that he heard that Zhang Zong's father lived to his forties, he immediately felt a desire to survive.
"First, the diet must be light, especially salt, and you must eat less. I just saw that the prince's taste was quite strong, which will only aggravate the condition! Second, don't eat fat meat, like the mutton we just ate just now, try not to eat some internal organs, third, quit drinking, and don't eat irritating things like strong tea and pepper. Finally, you should not eat too much food every meal, and you should not eat too much sugar to avoid gaining weight." Zhang Zong told all the things that patients with coronary heart disease need to pay attention to in their diet.
"This... this is too cruel. If it were me, it would be better to let me die!" Xue Shao next to him was shocked after hearing Zhang Zong's words. For him, a foodie, it would be better to kill him than to make him jealous.
"Is there anything I can eat?" Li Hong also asked with a bitter smile. Although the imperial doctor asked him to pay attention to his diet, there were not so many things that were jealous.
"There are, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, coarse grains, sea fish, soybeans, etc., which are all good for the prince's condition, as well as garlic, hawthorn, black fungus, jujubes, etc." Li Hong said as a matter of knowledge. If there are patients at home, he almost memorized the patient's recipes.
But it is also interesting to say. Although Zhang Zong's father had coronary heart disease in later generations, the doctor repeatedly told him to pay attention to his diet and quit smoking and drinking, but at the beginning, the old man still did his own thing, even like Xue Shao, thinking that it would be better to die than to do as the doctor said. But later, he went to the intensive care unit and the doctor issued a notice of critical illness. Fortunately, he was rescued in the end. Since then, the old man never mentioned smoking and drinking again, and even quit his favorite big elbow.
"After counting, the only meat dish I can eat is sea fish." Li Hong smiled bitterly again. He had a heavy taste and naturally liked meat.
"There are other meat and fish that cannot be eaten at all, but try to eat as little as possible. In addition to sea fish, there is also a kind of fish that cannot be eaten, which is also beneficial to Your Highness's illness." Zhang Zong smiled again.
"Can't eat fish?" Li Hong was a little confused.
"I know, it's a carp!" Xue Shao next to him shouted immediately. Because "carp" and "Li" are homophones, the Tang Dynasty's laws clearly stipulate that people are strictly prohibited from eating carp, and even when they catch carp, they must release animals. If they are caught secretly eating carp, a board will definitely be indispensable.
"So it's it!" Li Hong also reacted when he heard this, but thinking that he could only eat fish and various vegetables, vegetables, melons and fruits in the future, he couldn't help but show a hesitant look.
"Your Highness, your disease cannot be cured, it can only alleviate the condition. The key is to nourish and treat it in three parts. As long as you do the above, I think your condition will definitely improve slowly!" Zhang Zong advised again.
Zhang Zong can't remember the year when Li Hong died in history, but based on his age, it is estimated that it is either this year or next year. After two contacts, Zhang Zong found that Li Hong was indeed a good person, so he said a few more words. Of course, Li Hongyuan was unwilling to listen to that was his business.
Li Hong also showed a thoughtful expression at this time. After a moment, he looked up at Zhang Zong and said, "Can you borrow some pen and ink? I want to record the words of the young man before so as not to miss it."
"Crown Prince, I'll go get the pen and ink!" Zhang Zong was very happy when he heard this. After saying that, he stood up and went to his room.
"Cousin, do you really plan to do as Brother Zhang said?" At this time, Xue Shao finally couldn't help asking Li Hong. In his opinion, he couldn't eat anything, so what's the point of living?
Li Hong was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's okay to give it a try. After all, the imperial doctors in the palace have tried all their skills, but they can't even relieve the condition. Instead, the disease has become more and more frequent during this period. If you just warn some desire to relieve the condition, I would be willing to eat vegetarian food for the rest of my life!"
"But……"
Xue Shao wanted to say something else, but as soon as he spoke, Li Hong interrupted again: "Sanlang, sometimes I envy you because you can do things according to your own preferences, but I can't. I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty and bear the heavy responsibility of all people in the world, so sometimes I have to make some choices!"
Xue Shao's age was not enough to make him understand the profound meaning of Li Hong's words, but he could feel the heavyness in his cousin's tone, which made him nod silently and stop talking.
At this time, Zhang Zong also took the pen and ink and dictated it again. Li Hong recorded it himself. In addition to diet, there were other precautions, such as appropriate activities, but not increasing the burden on the body, etc. Anyway, Zhang Zong said everything he thought of.
After finishing writing, Li Hong blew the ink traces dry, then folded them up and put them in his arms, then stood up and bowed to Zhang Zong and said, "Thank you, Xiao Lang, for teaching you the best recipe for curing diseases!"
"It's not a good prescription, it's just some habits in life. Everything depends on the determination of His Royal Highness the Prince himself!" Zhang Zong also smiled. In fact, he also knew a good medicine that could truly relieve coronary heart disease. In theory, it could be developed in this era. However, the theory is theory, and he is not sure whether it can be produced in fact, so Zhang Zong did not dare to say it.
