throbbing pulse; intense pain in all directions.
Argentum nit.

breathe. Irregular (intermittent) action of heart (with an unpleasant
sensation of fullness), worse when noticing it, better when moving
about in open air.
Cactus g.
Nervous excitability. Palpitation of heart in debilitated persons;
feeling as though an iron band was around heart, preventing its
motion, worse when lying on left side, full throbbing carotids,
cold sweat on face and pulselessness.
Glonoine (nitroglycerine)
Great anguish in praecordial region. Sharp shocks and stitches
in the heart. Labored action of heart, worse on stooping and lying
on left side.
Naja t.

cannot get to sleep again. Pulse: small, irregular, with great excitement
in chest especially in cardiac region; full, but soft.
Veratrum album
Angina pectoris; periodical attacks of pain in chest, or cutting,
with excessive agony extending to shoulders. Skin cold and clammy.
Cold sweat on the forehead. He sweats from agony. General prostration.
Calcarea ars.
Angina pectoris. Grasping pain in heart. Palpitation with heat
of face. Every fourth beat of pulse omits. Rapid pulse along with
pancreatic complaints.
Kalmia
Angina pectoris, wandering pains extending to the left arm with
paroxysms of anguish about the heart and dyspnoea. Cardiac diseases
of organic origin valvular insufficiency and hypertrophy and degeneration
of the heart.
Kalmia's most important symptom is pain going to left arm. Cratagus
is more acute and severe as compared to Kalmia. Cactus also has
severe pain, squeezing pain. Cactus works on heart directly and
relieves the patient.
I will just end with a quote from Murphy's Homeopathic Remedy Guide
on Kalmia: "Heart's action tumultuous, rapid and visable. Paroxysms
of anguish around heart. Fluttering of heart with anxiety. Pains
sharp, burning, shooting, stabbing radiating to left scapula and
arm, take away the breath. Palpitations, worse leaning forward.
insufficiency, aortic obstruction."
I think we should warn the pharmacies to
expect a run on Crataegus, Kalmia and Cactus! Thanks, Dr. Shah!
