BM's Perspective: Comfort Through Balance of Body and Mind
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic aims to help patients free themselves from anxiety and pain to enjoy "Healthy Freedom." Since chest discomfort can be life-threatening, Best Medicine (BM) begins with a thorough exclusion diagnosis. We prioritize identifying urgent conditions like acute myocardial infarction or aortic dissection using modern diagnostic tools such as ECG and cardiac enzyme tests.
Once emergency conditions are ruled out, Korean Medicine offers significant advantages for lingering chest tightness or pain, especially those stemming from gastrointestinal issues or stress. In Korean Medicine, these symptoms fall under the categories of "Chest Obstruction" (胸痺) or "Heart Pain" (心痛). These are caused by blockages in the circulation of Qi and Blood in the chest, often due to Qi Stagnation (氣滯), accumulation of waste products known as Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮), or Blood Stasis (瘀血).
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic goes beyond merely suppressing pain. We provide holistic care that addresses both the Physical Sensation and Psychological Anxiety (Emotion). Through herbal medicine tailored to the root cause, acupuncture, and lifestyle corrections, we resolve the underlying factors burdening your chest, helping your body and mind return to a state of comfort.
