Case-2: Thanks to Dr. Shah, I got my wife back!"
Mrs. S.A.G. (Patient Reference number: L 5633), 39 years old, reported to us for treatment after a long time, in the past she had suffered from migraine and depression for which she was relieved.
She had been freshly detected as having high blood pressure. She was also suffering from Anxiety and Depression. She was under a psychiatrist's treatment for the above, but she experienced too much drowsiness and weight gain by the conventional medicines.
She was receiving Sensival 25 mg and tablet Deswal Er 250 mg.
Her blood pressure was around 150-100 mm of hg, which obviously called for urgent attention. She had high blood pressure recorded every time she checked during last over a month, under care of her family physician. She was suggested to start with the conventional anti-hypertensive medicines which she refused to take as she was afraid of the adverse effects!
Her case details were inquired by a lady assistant doctor at Life Force.
Mrs. S.G lived with her husband, two daughters and her mother in law. Her husband was a business man. Her mother-in-law was a widow; he was a case of bipolar disorder.
She would torture the patient a lot. She was obsessive about cleanliness and punctuality and would dominate the daughter in law on these points.
The patient quietly tolerated the insults and abuses. She would not allow patient to go to her mother's house, nor like her going out with her own husband.
Her husband was good natured and religious. He had three bothers, but none would agree to keep there mother in there house.
Mrs S would never complain to her husband as her religion (Jainism) taught her to take care of elders; both husband and wife were well behaved and never answered back.
She was a fearsome, anxious and sensitive lady.
When her elder son was in the 10th class. She developed high blood pressure.
She had all the features of depression, namely depressed mood, disinclination for all sorts of enjoyment; she had a weepy and brooding disposition. She would sleep for several hours in the day time and then become sleepless at night
She some times quarreled with her husband. She had weight gain, both due to depression and anti depressants. At times she had memory loss and she had become very pessimist. On learning about hypertension she became very anxious and continuously thought of death.
At this juncture, she refused anti-hypertensive. She was some how coaxed by her husband to visit Dr Rajesh Shah for the treatment of hypertension. He also wanted us to treat her for anxiety and depression.
She had refused further allopathic medication. Her husband came and met Dr Shah and briefed him about her health.
He wanted us to intervene for Anxiety and Depression as there was no relief with allopathic medicines.
Dr Shah studied her case in detail; he interviewed her for around half an hour and counseled her.
She was prescribed suitable homeopathic medicines along with some research based medicines, as per indications.
As her blood pressure was high, she was suggested to monitor it twice a week for a month. She started showing reduction in blood pressure in about two weeks. The medicine was continued with close monitoring. Her blood pressure was close to normal on most occasions.
With 6-8 months of regular treatment, she showed very good improvement.
Her symptoms of anxiety and depression were very less. Her blood pressure readings were normal. She looked cheerful. Her husband thanked Dr Shah for the treatment, “I got my wife back” he said.
Usually, the policy at Life Force is to avoid undertaking cases of hypertension (high blood pressure), if they are on conventional medicine for over two years. We take only fresh cases, that too, those who are able to monitor it closely and report to us repeatedly; as sometimes there could be events of increased pressure requiring urgent attention.
This case is one of those many cases of high blood pressure treated and documented at Life Force.
