Postpartum extreme dyspnea is extremely critical and often fatal.
Guo believed that for postpartum patients with urgent breathing and panting in the throat, this is caused by excessive blood loss during delivery, leading to a sudden depletion of Ying Blood (nutritive blood). Consequently, Wei Qi (defensive qi) loses its master and gathers exclusively in the lungs, causing panting. This condition is named "Lone Yang and Absolute Yin" and is difficult to treat. (Chen Wuzhe stated: It is suitable to use a large dose of Xiong Gui Tang [Angelica and Ligusticum Decoction]. Another prescription uses Du Shen Tang [Single Ginseng Decoction], which is particularly excellent.) If lochia discharge is not smooth, causing blood stasis to stagnate and coagulate, and steaming upward into the lungs, it will also cause urgent panting. In such cases, simply administering Duo Ming Dan [Life-Restoring Pill] will allow the panting to subside naturally once the blood stasis is removed. (The formula for Duo Ming Dan is found under the section "Retained Placenta".)
[Shi] Xue Jie San [Dragon's Blood Powder]: Treats postpartum敗血 (decayed blood) rushing to the heart, causing chest fullness and upward panting, where life hangs in the balance. It is suitable for administration.
Zhen Xue Jie [True Dragon's Blood] (if unavailable, substitute with Zi Kuang [Purple Mineral]); Mo Yao [Myrrh].
Grind the above herbs into fine powder, sifting frequently and regrinding until all material is collected. Take two qian per dose, mixed with half a large cup of good wine and urine from a healthy boy (Tong Bian), boiled once, and taken warm. Administer one dose immediately after childbirth, and another dose after lying in bed for a long time. This ensures the decaying blood flows downward along the meridians without rushing upward, preventing various diseases.
[Yun] Shen Su Yin [Ginseng and Perilla Decoction]: Treats postpartum blood entering the lungs, resulting in a dark complexion and severe panting approaching death.
Ren Shen [Ginseng Root] (1 liang, ground into powder); Su Mu [Sappan Wood] (2 liang).
Boil the Su Mu in two bowls of water until reduced to less than one bowl. Strain the dregs, mix in the Ren Shen powder, and adjust the dosage as needed. The effect is miraculous.
[Wu] If panting is caused by depression or anger leading to the stagnation and eruption of emotional qi, use Xiao Tiao Jing San [Minor Regulating Menses Powder], administered with a decoction of Sang Bai Pi [Mulberry Bark] and Xing Ren [Apricot Seed]. (The formula for Xiao Tiao Jing San is found under the section "Edema".)
Xuan Fu Hua Tang [Inula Flower Decoction]: Treats postpartum wind-cold invasion, cold-induced cough and panting, abundant phlegm-saliva, and restlessness in sitting or lying down.
Xuan Fu Hua [Inula Flower]; Chi Shao Yao [Red Peony Root]; Jing Jie Sui [Schizonepeta Spike]; Ban Xia Qu [Pinellia Fermented Paste]; Wu Wei Zi [Schisandra Berry]; Ma Huang [Ephedra Stem]; Fu Ling [Poria]; Xing Ren [Apricot Seed]; Gan Cao [Licorice Root]; Qian Hu [Peucedani Radix] (all in equal proportions).
Cut the herbs roughly. Take four qian per dose, add one and a half cups of water, five slices of fresh ginger, and one jujube. Decoct until three-tenths remain, strain, and take warm before meals.
The wife of Hao Hui from Pujiang suffered from swollen feet during pregnancy. She gave birth in early July. Two months postpartum, after bathing, she immediately developed panting, able only to sit and unable to lie down for five months. She was aversive to wind, feeling slightly relieved by warmth. Her Guan pulses on both hands were pulsating, while the Cun and Chi pulses were both deficient. Hundreds of medicines had failed. A decoction of Mu Dan Pi [Moutan Cortex], Tao Ren [Peach Kernel], Gui Zhi [Cinnamon Twig], Fu Ling [Poria], Gan Jiang [Dried Ginger], Zhi Shi [Immature Bitter Orange], Hou Po [Magnolia Bark], Sang Bai Pi [Mulberry Bark], Zi Su [Perilla Leaf], Wu Wei Zi [Schisandra Berry], Gua Lou Pi [Trichosanthes Peel], and Gua Lou Ren [Trichosanthes Seed] was prescribed. Relief came immediately upon ingestion; after two or three doses, she could lie down, and her phlegm disappeared. This case was treated as blood stasis complicated by cold invasion. If panting is caused by consuming salty, frozen drinks or food, refer to the Wan [Pill] mentioned below.
Jiang Huang [Curcuma Longa Rhizome]; San Leng [Burreed Tuber]; Bi Cheng Qie [Long Pepper Fruit]; Chen Pi [Citrus Reticulata Peel]; Liang Jiang [Galangal Rhizome]; Ren Shen [Ginseng Root]; Peng Zhu [Curcuma Phaeocaulis Rhizome] (equal proportions).
Grind into fine powder. Soak and boil radish until soft, grind into a fine paste, extract the juice, and use it to cook a flour paste to form pills the size of tung tree seeds. Take with a decoction of radish seeds.
