palpitation for years

55 yr old female says she suffers from heart palpitation for many years, which gets worse with anxiety and stress. her hands and feet are not cold. she urinates frequently (every 2 hrs or so and she wakes up at night once to urinate) she doesnt have insomnia but vivid dreams. she is thin and doesnt become angry a lot but suffers from anxiety more than stress.

she also suffers from stomach acid and dry mouth.

first Si 2 with reducing method and Si 3 with tonification methods. after 15 min there is no change. she was still having palpitation.

then needled KD 10 with tonification method. palpitation stopped immediately

Dx: Ht excess.

Common cold for 6 hrs

a friend of mine stopped by my office complaining of dry cough and chest congestion for about 6 hours. she didn't feel fever or chills but her face was red and face/head was hot.

other signs and symptoms: slightly swollen throat, very stuffy chest so she couldn't breath in too deep (due to pain and tightness in her chest) no other signs

Lu 10 with reducing method -> after 10 min she felt better and she had fewer coughs but chest tightness remained. since she was very sensitive with Lung 10 not much reduction technique was done.

instead, mater tung points Ren Sha Di Sha Tian Sha (lung channel in the forearm 4 cun up from wrist crease then 3 cun apart) were needled and retained for 30 min. her face turned normal (no longer red) and chest tightness disappeared.
