Objectives : There has been little report on the treatment of pulmonary hypertension on the basis of Oriental medicine. Several weeks ago we had a case of pulmonary hypertension, and found something in the treatment of the disease. A 60-year old man with hemoptysis was admitted to the Kyunghee Oriental Medical Center on April 23, 2002 and discharged May 4, 2002. During that time, we saw good results. Methods : On the oriental medical basis that Chuongsangboha-tang (Qingshangbuxia-tang) has an effect on chronic pulmonary disease, we treated him with that medicine three times a day for 12 days along with Roxithromycin 150mg/tab 1T qd, Digoxin 0.25mg/tab 0.5T qd, and Bambuterol Hel 1T qd. He was also given acupuncture therapy daily with tonifying SP3(太白), L9(太淵) and sedating H8(少府), L10(魚際). Results : The following data was observed from the therapy : hemoptysis volume decreased by 90%, general weakness by 40%m and ABGA results improved. Conclusions : As we managed pulmonary hypertension, we came to the conclusion that the oriental medical therapy can be of assistance to western medical therapy and can mitigate hemoptysis.
