Zhen Tou Tong (True Headache), where pain is severe and extends into the brain, accompanied by cold hands and feet, indicates a fatal prognosis.
This is an exterior pathogenic factor manifesting as Taiyang Syndrome (Syndrome of the Bladder and Small Intestine channels).
It also presents with stiffness of the neck, caused by Taiyang Wind Strike (Wind Stroke) complicated by Cold-Dampness; dispersing treatment is indicated.
Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) may also cause neck stiffness, resembling Rou Jing (Soft Spasm - characterized by rigidity without sweat); Da Xian Xiong Wan (Major Inward-Draining Pill for Chest Binding) is indicated to purge.
Xuan (Dizziness/Blurred Vision) refers not to mystery, but to blurred vision.
Mao (Covering/Dizziness) refers not to hair, but to a sensation of heaviness covering the head.
Zhen (Tremor/Shaking) refers to shaking or trembling of the eyes or head.
Yun (Spinning) refers to a spinning sensation, commonly known as "head spinning" (vertigo).
Meng (Clouding) refers to mental clouding, commonly known as "mental fogginess" or syncope.
These are all due to Yang Deficiency.
Wind invasion can also cause dizziness.

... This is reversal of deficient Qi ascending; Xuan Fu Dai Zhe Shi Tang (Inula and Hematite Decoction) is the primary formula. If Pi (Glomus/Stagnation) persists after using Xie Xin Tang (Drain the Epigastrium Decoctions), and thirst and difficult urination occur, this indicates internal accumulation of Fluid Retention; Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is indicated. Xie Xin Tangs can also treat Pi and reversal of deficient Qi.
If all symptoms of Jie Xiong (Chest Binding) are present and restlessness (Fan Zao) is added, it indicates Excess Pathogen and is fatal.
Zang Jie (Organ Binding) resembles Jie Xiong, but the pathogen binds in the Yin. The pulse is floating at the Cun (inch) position and small, fine, deep, and tight at the Guan (middle) position; food intake remains normal, indicating Yin binding without Yang binding. Frequent spontaneous diarrhea occurs because Yin Cold attacks Yang Deficiency and descends. A white, slippery coating on the tongue indicates difficulty in treatment, as white coating signifies excess Cold. For Zang Jie, purging is theoretically indicated; however, if there are no Yang signs of Cold-Heat alternation, the patient is instead quiet, and the tongue coating is slippery, purging must not be used. Moxibustion or acupuncture at Guan Yuan (CV-4) is suitable, along with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction).
Furthermore, if a patient has an old Pi mass under the hypochondrium extending to the side of the umbilicus, with pain radiating to the lower abdomen and genitalia, it is fatal; this represents accumulation and binding of True Zang Qi (Visceral Essence).
Severe fullness and pain, or tidal fever with constipation, and abdominal fullness that does not decrease, indicate Excess; purging is indicated. When Yang Heat acts as the pathogen, presenting with abdominal fullness and dry throat, purging may be used. It is also stated that pain without fullness indicates Excess, suitable for Da Chai Hu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) or Cheng Qi (Ordering the Qi) formulas. Fullness combined with pain, with manifestations in both interior and exterior, suggests Gui Zhi Jia Huang Qi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Rhubarb) to harmonize interior and exterior; these are all Heat diseases.
Cold pain presents with pain but free stool, cold hands and feet, aversion to cold, thin pulse, and cyanotic complexion; warming is indicated, using Si Ni Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction).
Pain due to Lower Cold and Upper Heat presents with abdominal pain and desire to vomit; Huang Lian Tang (Coptis Decoction) is indicated.
Abdominal fullness without pain, or pain that occasionally subsides, indicates Deficiency. This is Cold from Deficiency attacking from above and below; warming is indicated. Stagnant deficient Qi causes distension; unlike Excess, it is neither hard nor severely painful. Gui Zhi Ban Xia Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Pinellia Decoction) or Xiao Jian Zhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) is indicated to harmonize. It is also stated that when Yin Cold acts as the pathogen, presenting with abdominal fullness, vomiting, inability to eat, worsening diarrhea, and occasional spontaneous abdominal pain, it belongs to Taiyin Syndrome; warming is indicated.
Distension following sweating, vomiting, or purging.
After sweating, if the disease is unresolved and abdominal fullness and pain occur, urgent purging is required.
After sweating, if abdominal fullness occurs (due to Bladder Qi deficiency), Nong Po Sheng Jiang Gan Cao Ban Xia Ren Shen Tang (Atractylodes Macrocephala, Ginger, Licorice, Pinellia, and Ginseng Decoction) is indicated. This results from exterior pathogens being dispersed by sweating, leading to fluid depletion. Since the Stomach governs fluids, Stomach Deficiency fails to distribute Qi properly; warming and dispersing is required.
After vomiting, if abdominal fullness occurs, the pathogen has not been expelled and has descended into the Stomach; Cheng Qi Tang (Ordering the Qi Decoction) is indicated.
If Taiyang Syndrome is incorrectly purged, resulting in abdominal fullness and intermittent pain, Gui Zhi Jia Shao Yao Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Peony) is indicated. For severe pain indicating Excess, Gui Zhi Jia Huang Qi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Rhubarb) is indicated.
After purging in Shang Han (Cold Damage), if abdominal fullness, irritability, and restlessness occur, Heat has entered vacuity and stagnated in the Middle Jiao, preventing Qi from moving up and down; Zhi Zi Nong Po Tang (Gardenia and Magnolia Bark Decoction) is indicated.
