Chininum Ars 250 During fever, a Chininum Ars patient suddenly jumps out of bed with fear. He remains restless, gradually loses hope and becomes sick of life. Noise is unbearable and the memory becomes weak. Such patients, who have lived luxurious and vulgar lives, are more likely to develop the symptoms of Chininum Ars. In Chininum Ars, due to the weakness of the nerves and lack of blood, the patient feels jerking during sleep. This symptom has been mentioned in reference to many other remedies but is a symptom of Chininum Ars as well. Sometimes, the patient wakes up due to the feeling of pain that spreads through the body like a flash of lightning. In Chininum Ars, the symptoms resulting from low blood pressure are the same as those in Arnica and Belladonna associated with high blood pressure. The arms, legs, hands and feet become cold, but then the blood pressure rises. This is a specific symptom of Chininum Ars. In Chininum Ars, weakness is more pronounced on the right side, such as the right side of the neck and the right arm. When the weakness advances, one may have convulsions. At night there is headache. Nasal cold also causes headache. In general, when the cold is suppressed, the headache gets worse. There is a feeling of being hammered over the head that is usually due to the lack of blood. This symptom is also salient in Natrum Mur (because Natrum Mur also is one of the best treatments for anaemia). In this, the blood becomes more dilute. In Chininum Ars, the lack of red blood cells cause anaemia, so the swelling noticed in Chininum Ars is soft and pitting in nature. The muscles of the scalp also hurt. The symptoms aggravate in the cold. In Chininum Ars, there are symptoms related to the eyes as well. Light irritates the eye and produces warm tears. This symptom is also found in Natrum Mur. As far as the eyes are concerned in Chininum Ars, ulcers are found in not only one but in both eyes. The tendency towards developing ulcers and eczema simultaneously is also present in Chininum Ars, as in Arnica. In Arnica, if there is irritation in one eye it will eventually cause irritation in the other eye as well. Both eyes hurt at the same time. This happens in Chininum Ars also but the patient sees flashing stars and flames , which are more marked in the left eye than the right. Tears form in the left eye. There is a feeling of pain. There is noise in the ears and voices are heard.
