Palpitations, mental restlessness, vomiting, and upward rushing of Qi are all symptoms of this condition. Taking Xiao Xuming Tang (Small Continuation of Life Decoction) for two or three doses will surely lead to recovery. If a physician mistakenly attacks the condition with blood-dispelling and stasis-resolving medicines, the loss of blood will cause the disease to become more severe.
