Dan35岁,退役后和他在高中时的Sweet Heart结了婚,生了两个女儿。他在一家高尔夫用品店一干就是5年,现在做到经理了。小伙子工作特别努力,经常加班加点地干不说,还经常三顿饭并成两顿吃。没时间锻炼身体,但在太太的耐心开导和教育下,为了两个宝贝女儿,他已经成功地戒烟三个月了。只是最近他一直觉得口渴,多尿,手指发肿,到了晚上更是明显。体重也像翘翘板一样,乎高乎低。一天之内,体重能差两三磅。他在超市的自动血压计上量过血压,发现他的血压高达156/96mmHg。他同时注意到他的记忆力似乎比以前差,特别是晚上睡不好觉的时候更为明显。现在总是有点昏沉沉的感觉。耳朵也是闷得很,有时听别人说话都听不清楚。他的父亲就有糖尿病,他想着这也许是糖尿病的开始,今天在太太的陪同下来到诊所。

这个小伙,看着就结实,握手都特有力,根本不像别的病人病病歪歪的。他说话也是有板有眼的。他坐在诊床上,像座钟。寒暄过后,我坐下来开始问诊。我们的谈话没什么废话,直截了当,太太似乎也插不上什么嘴。几分钟过后,我已经对他的情况知道个大概。我站起身来,开始体检。先量血压。为了活跃一下气氛,我给他讲了Vincent “海滩”的笑话,他顿时放松了很多。可惜,他的血压还是高:148/96mmHg 看他的舌头尖,特别红,他说是磕葵花子造成的。特别是戒烟以来,每天晚上能磕半磅葵花子。查到耳朵,我用耳窥镜查鼓膜的时候,他突然说了句“I hope you found something in there. I mean my memory is so bad now. ”真没料到,这位退伍军人也很有幽默感。我马上接了一句“Of courseI saw a beautiful lady there!” 我们三个人都笑了。其余的体格检查都正常。

Wellwhat do you thinkDoc ?”这时夫妻俩同时看着我,好像在等我的宣判。我没说话,坐回到我的座位上,扶了扶领带,整了整白衣,没说话只是埋头把化验单开好。太太又追问了一句,“Does he need medications?” 这时我又看了眼太太,虽然是两个孩子的妈妈,但风韵犹存。

我说,“No medicine for now, but I want you to stop eating that sunflower seeds.” “Why?” “Because you are getting too much salt from that!”

我见过一些美国人吃葵花子,放一把葵花子在嘴里面,所有的盐和各种的添加剂都咽到肚子里了,然后再一个一个地把瓜子皮吐出来。“Because of the salt you take, make your blood pressure really high…… The salt will make you very thirsty. So you drink a lot and then you urinate a lot. Frequent urination interrupted your normal sleep. As the result, your memory is worse….. Because you sodium retention, you gain weight easily and lose it quickly after your urinate.” “ I bid, once you stop your sunflower eating, your blood pressure will be normal, and your frequent urination will be resolved.” “And, I do not think you have Diabetes.”

俩口子似乎有些意外。“You mean you are going to treat my hypertension without any medications?” “Yes sir. I want to see you back in 2 weeks with all those labs I ordered. I think your blood pressure will come down if you quit eating those sunflower seeds.” “What if my blood pressure is still high?” “I will start you on medication then.”

这只是昨天的事,两周后再来汇报结果。
