另外，我妈和我都常有打哈气的毛病，而且还流眼泪。是不是也是气虚的问题啊。 谢谢。^_^

尊敬的三七生大夫，我妈妈现在强好多了，太谢谢您了。我妈现在的情况是这样： 服了十副药左右，血压降到正常范围，先前腰部下关节中央处（痛处）发青的颜色 淡下去了，痛感发散开，也减轻了。青眼圈也淡了；心跳正常了；吃饭也能尝出香 。现在还有以下不适症状：气短，总想长出一口气，感觉后心窝的气拔不上来；心 烦，心慌，浑身没劲，站着很难受，坐着胯发酸，走路有种轻飘飘的感觉，只想躺 着，有时小腹痛。睡觉短，晚上一般醒来一两次，有时久久不能入睡：觉得躺着头 部不舒服，眼眶痛，眼球硬，看东西象在雾里，看灯光有彩色光圈，两鬓紧痛，鼻 子吸气通到头里面。但只要能睡着，醒来都正常了，只感到眼睛发涩，有时还有恶 心感。大便上午两次，烂渣状，舌边锯齿形，质白。另外，睡觉打呼噜。请问这些 是否是属于您前面谈到的“肝气不舒，心气不足”，但不知这病根是否还是“寒入 少阴”。非常感谢。
顺便问一下，有人送我妈一包高丽参粉，现在能吃么？再次感谢。^_^

服了十副药左右，血压降到正常范围，先前腰部下关节中央处（痛处）发青的颜色 淡下去了，痛感发散开，也减轻了。青眼圈也淡了；心跳正常了；吃饭也能尝出香 。确实好多了，不但根本处寒气大减，水气也能升上来一些了。现在还有以下不适 症状：气短，总想长出一口气，感觉后心窝的气拔不上来；还是因为肝气不足，左 面向上升的力量不够。心烦，心慌，浑身没劲，心阴不足也。站着很难受，坐着胯 发酸，走路有种轻飘飘的感觉，只想躺着，有时小腹痛。寒气尚未去尽也。睡觉短 ，晚上一般醒来一两次，有时久久不能入睡：觉得躺着头部不舒服，阳气不能归宅 之故。眼眶痛，眼球硬，看东西象在雾里，看灯光有彩色光圈，两鬓紧痛，鼻子吸 气通到头里面。水精不能上承，头上有空虚之感。但只要能睡着，醒来都正常了， 阳能降则阴能升也。只感到眼睛发涩，肝血不能上润也。有时还有恶心感。胆气不 降之征。大便上午两次，烂渣状，舌边锯齿形，质白。寒湿仍未化尽。确实还是与 “肝气不舒，心气不足”有关的症状，病根虽然还是“寒入少阴”，但已经浅了很 多。高丽参粉可以随药冲服。
现将药方略作增减：天冬10g，丹参10g，五味子10g，白术50g，茯苓30g，干姜30g ，泽泻10g，肉桂15g，枸杞子15g，附子60g（先煎）
用法：六剂。以九碗水煎剩三碗（以三碗水先煎附子，以七碗水泡余药，附子煎剩 二碗时，将余药混入，开后小火煎剩三碗），早八时服一碗，晚四时服一碗。忌食 油腻寒凉海物猪牛肉等。

尊敬的三七生大夫，我妈最近的腰部有很大进步。但在服这六副药期间，不知何故 血压又高了，晚上高压170左右，低压100左右。而且睡觉不深，醒来感觉手指发麻 。您看这是什么原因啊。（她每天吃一勺高丽参)
三七生
2002/11/18 20：42
天气转寒，阴气转盛，则阳气不能顺降，壅滞于上，故心跳加速血压升高，如治以 凉药，反而加重下焦之寒，更令阳气失去归路。助其阳气，散其下寒，阳气下降， 则血压心跳自然随之下降。此乃经验之谈，并非臆测之论。服药之后当有体会。
三七生
2002/12/12 22：14
看来是丹参、麦冬用的不适合。把药方改回第一服的方子，用法也按照第一回。一 直吃到元旦吧，千万不要停药。高丽参粉也停用。
三七生
2002/12/12 22：25
对了，上次的药加没加附子？上次处方附子在下面容易忽略。
长安少年
2002/12/13 10：06
尊敬的三七生大夫啊，可能是高丽参的原因吧。昨天我妈妈一天没吃它，晚上的血 压就比较正常了（140/80左右）。
我妈妈现在一天天好转的很快，最近每天都能干一些家务，虽然我坚持不让她干。 气色也好多了。我妈每天都说您是她的救命恩人呢，这几年她病的实在是好可怜哪 。
上次的附子抄上了，对了四遍呢。呵呵。您看那就接着吃吧？
多谢费心。^_^

好，换吧。

2002/12/15 10：09
尊敬的三七生大夫啊，我妈妈昨天下午吃上第一个方子，晚上的血压就正常了，（ 130/75左右）看来现在好象还不适合吃补药啊。
多谢费心。

2002/12/16 09：49
对不起，三七生大夫，又要麻烦您了。
我妈妈现在其他方面日见好转，只是昨天又出现了胸闷，气短，心跳的现象，晚上 重些，不能入睡，我妈妈就吃了丹参滴丸，逍遥丸和甜梦胶囊。我们分析会不会是 这些原因造成的：昨天下午天变得很晴，今天上午又阴了；最近我妈妈想运动了， 前天傍晚和我出去散步，好象走得有点儿多了。
我妈妈想知道能否配合您的第一个方子吃些黄芪精口服液。
麻烦您再看看吧。多谢。
长安少年
2002/12/18 10：31
尊敬的三七生大夫，我妈妈近三天又出现了头晕，早晨起来恶心，出汗，心跳快（ 100左右），气短，后心窝气拔不上来，身上烦乱，全身无力的症状，这些症状一 出现，就没有屁了。昨天下午只好去看西医，西医认为这些都是高血压的副面影响 ，并且开了如下的药：松龄血脉康胶囊，倍他乐克和波依定。但我妈妈这病是八十 年代时家里遇到不幸而得，那时血压还不高。我们想听听您的看法。
因为吃您的第一个方子现在腰，胃等进步很大，所以我妈妈的意思要不先这样：把 第一个方子和这些西药先吃到元旦，然后麻烦您再做调整。您看呢？
呵呵，多谢费心。
三七生
2002/12/18 18：51
西医的判断是片面的，你母亲的病根本在下焦，用药之后寒气渐散，阳气渐归，是 以中下明显转好。但此时日近冬至，气机向下，气虚之人气归于下，则上气不足， 所言种种症状皆是上焦心肺之气不足所致，不动则已，动则虚象骤现。只要过了冬 至就会慢慢好转，随着阳气渐生上焦之气也会慢慢充足，千万不要吃消炎药以及凉 药，令前功尽弃。化解之法，可于前方之中加菟丝子60克、黄芪60克（黄芪煎至大 约五碗之后下）。过了冬至之后再作调整。
长安少年
2002/12/19 15：41
上午给我妈妈一说，她说您分析的太好了，这些年所遇到的大夫都不能说的象您这 样，很感激您。
另外，我妈妈这两天吃过复方丹参片，丹参滴丸（有冰片），松龄血脉康（有葛根 和珍珠粉），它们是凉药吗？药店的人说的不明白。

尊敬的三七生大夫啊，圣诞快乐。呵呵。
首先告诉您个好消息，家母现在身体进步很大。太谢谢您了。
家母吃了新方子后，就明显感到有饥饿感。饭量增加，舌苔薄了，有了屁，腹不涨 ，大便通畅而且形正常。现在五付药快完了，感到走路腿不太困了，也能站一会儿 。只是弯腰时下关节有些紧。原来的青颜色和青眼圈已经基本没有了。耳鸣也清了 。睡觉香但不太打呼噜，脸色也好多了，也胖了些。
现在还有些问题：心跳，气短，头晕，恶心的现象还有。（好象缺氧似的）在中午 11点和下午5点感觉明显。吃些逍遥丸能缓解，但里面有薄荷，后来不敢吃了。天 气变化时晚上睡觉后背稍发凉。睡醒后腹部有发酸一阵子的现象。还有些犯困。
麻烦您再看看，多谢了。

2003/01/04 10：01
尊敬的三七生大夫，家母问您好。现在她已经吃完方一加菟丝子和黄芪十一副了， 下面是她的主诉，麻烦您看看：
现在吃饭，睡觉都很好，舌质红润起来也不干了；现在能干适量的家务。最近背部 发凉的感觉没有出现，原来眼前有雾，灯有光圈的现象出现过一次（是因为那天说 话多了，情绪也不好）青眼圈已经很淡，腰下三角处发青也只剩下淡淡的一小片。 现在只是站着时后腰下及臀部肉里还有沉，酸，困，大腿根内侧有憋涨感。心急， 心慌，心烦难受不想站，走路小腿肚子酸困等不适，比前轻了，但还有。眼睛看东 西不实，早晨起来稍感恶心。
另外，心跳快（100左右），胸闷，气短，老想长出一口气。好象后心窝气很薄， 气不够用，正如您说我心气不足，肝气不舒，肺气不足似的。天气变化或动的多些 会加重，这个病是八十年代得的（以前说过）后来没太犯。今年春夏各犯过一次， 但很快就过去了，冬季重些。吃上您的药后有所减轻，但时重时轻。
我的腰腿病除您说的“寒入少阴”外，会不会还有气血方面的原因，因为过去有大 夫说是气血两虚亏，我从年轻时气血就不好：少年时夏天爱流鼻血，青年时月经常 是四，五十天或两个月来一次，量很少。还有我经常打哈欠，一连打好几个，甚至 上十个，流着眼泪。
三七生
2003/01/04 15：23
是的，的确还有血亏的问题，现在可以适当补血了：黄芪60克，当归60克，白术 60g，茯苓30g，泽泻10g，桂枝30g，干姜50g，附子60g(先煎）
用法如前。
长安少年
2003/01/12 10：13
尊敬的三七生大夫：家母吃加当归的药四剂了，感觉腰下和大腿根憋胀的感觉明显 好转。但仍感到心慌气短，而且时好时差。大前天犯了一次，前天又感觉比以前精 神了，并干了些家务。昨晚又犯了一次，较重。犯时感觉浑身无力，气短，食欲不 振，打嗝，无屁，头晕，恶心，干呕，感觉脏腑之气滞住一般。气不通畅，尤其是 后心窝的气拔不上来，气憋难忍。还失眠，眉心之间发紧，视物有雾，大便近期一 直是软条糊状，有时糊中有硬节。
八十年代犯此病时，有大夫称是肝气郁结，又有称胃气下降。九八年神经内科大夫 诊为“抑郁症”时，吃“百忧解”后，血压明显下降，还有屁。（这药主要针对由 于五羟色胺不足导致的病症）当时由于病复杂，其他方面感觉不明显。唯吃了您的 药后，大病已去，如胃，腰痛，现在就是上面这些了。
另外，九月份检查身体时，肝功能中“转肽酶”稍高。
麻烦您再诊诊。多谢。
长安少年
2003/01/13 09：52
家母昨天吃了些维生素和谷维素，以及逍遥丸，休息了一天，睡了几觉，晚上睡得 挺好，今天早上感觉好些了。
另外，有大夫称家母是慢性疲劳综合症，也有说神经官能症的。由于家庭原因，家 母从八十年代不时的感觉劳累过度。
三七生
2003/01/14 07：27
所云时坏时好之证实仍上气不足所致，清气不能完全上升，则浊气不能完全下降， 乃现上虚下实之状，然气上升时诸证又减，反复无常。待春气日生，长势勃然，自 然可以勿药而喜了。原药可以接着吃，如觉麻烦，改成补中益气丸，每日于上午九 时、晚睡前各服一丸亦可。

Okay. Hehe. Thank you very much.
Additionally, my mother and I often have the habit of yawning, accompanied by tearing. Is this also a problem of Qi deficiency (deficiency of primordial Qi)? Thank you. ^_^
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
November 29, 2002, 11:31
Yes, it is a manifestation of Yang Qi not extending outward, that is, Yang Qi deficiency, unable to reach the exterior.

Respected Doctor Sanqi, my mother has improved significantly, thank you so much. The current situation of my mother is as follows: After taking about ten doses of medicine, her blood pressure dropped to the normal range; the bluish color at the center of the lower joint of the waist (the painful area) faded, and the pain sensation spread out and lessened; the dark circles under the eyes also faded; heart rate normalized; she can taste the fragrance of food when eating. Currently, she still has the following discomforts: shortness of breath, always wanting to take a deep sigh, feeling that the Qi in the back of the heart pit cannot be pulled up; mental restlessness, palpitations, lack of strength all over the body, difficulty standing, soreness in the hips when sitting, a floating sensation when walking, only wanting to lie down, sometimes lower abdominal pain. Short sleep duration, usually waking up once or twice at night, sometimes unable to fall asleep for a long time; feels uncomfortable in the head when lying down, eye socket pain, hard eyeballs, vision like looking through fog, seeing colored halos around lights, tight pain in the temples, air flowing into the head when inhaling through the nose. But as long as she falls asleep, she wakes up normally, only feeling dry eyes, sometimes with nausea. Bowel movements twice in the morning, in the form of rotten dregs, teeth-marked edges on the tongue, white tongue body. Additionally, snoring during sleep. May I ask if these belong to what you mentioned earlier as "Liver Qi stagnation, Heart Qi deficiency," but I wonder if the root cause is still "Cold entering Shaoyin." Thank you very much.
By the way, someone gave my mother a pack of Korean ginseng powder, can she take it now? Thanks again. ^_^

After taking about ten doses of medicine, her blood pressure dropped to the normal range, the bluish color at the center of the lower joint of the waist (the painful area) faded, and the pain sensation spread out and lessened. The dark circles under the eyes also faded; heart rate normalized; she can taste the fragrance of food when eating. Indeed, she has improved significantly, not only has the fundamental cold greatly decreased, but water Qi can also rise somewhat. Currently, she still has the following discomforts: shortness of breath, always wanting to take a deep sigh, feeling that the Qi in the back of the heart pit cannot be pulled up; this is still because Liver Qi is insufficient, lacking upward force on the left side. Mental restlessness, palpitations, lack of strength all over the body, this is Heart Yin deficiency. Difficulty standing, soreness in the hips when sitting, a floating sensation when walking, only wanting to lie down, sometimes lower abdominal pain. This is because Cold has not yet been completely eliminated. Short sleep duration, usually waking up once or twice at night, sometimes unable to fall asleep for a long time; feels uncomfortable in the head when lying down, this is due to Yang Qi being unable to return to its residence. Eye socket pain, hard eyeballs, vision like looking through fog, seeing colored halos around lights, tight pain in the temples, air flowing into the head when inhaling through the nose. This is because Water Essence cannot ascend, causing a sense of emptiness in the head. But as long as she falls asleep, she wakes up normally, this is because when Yang descends, Yin ascends. Only feeling dry eyes, this is because Liver Blood cannot moisten the upper part. Sometimes with nausea. This is a sign of Gallbladder Qi failing to descend. Bowel movements twice in the morning, in the form of rotten dregs, teeth-marked edges on the tongue, white tongue body. This is because Cold-Dampness has not yet been completely transformed. Indeed, these are symptoms related to "Liver Qi stagnation, Heart Qi deficiency," although the root cause is still "Cold entering Shaoyin," it has become much shallower. Korean ginseng powder can be taken mixed with the decoction.
Now making slight adjustments to the prescription: Tian Dong (Asparagus Root) 10g, Dan Shen (Salvia Miltiorrhiza Root) 10g, Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Fruit) 10g, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) 50g, Fu Ling (Poria) 30g, Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) 30g, Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome) 10g, Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) 15g, Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry) 15g, Fu Zi (Prepared Aconite Lateral Root) 60g (decocted first).
Usage: Six doses. Decoct nine bowls of water until three bowls remain (first decoct Fu Zi in three bowls of water, soak the remaining herbs in seven bowls of water, when Fu Zi decoction reduces to two bowls, mix in the other herbs, boil then simmer until three bowls remain), take one bowl at 8 AM and one bowl at 4 PM. Avoid greasy, cold, seafood, pork, beef, etc.

Respected Doctor Sanqi, my mother's waist has improved significantly recently. However, during the course of taking these six doses of medicine, for some reason, her blood pressure rose again, with systolic pressure around 170 and diastolic pressure around 100 at night. Also, sleep is shallow, and fingers feel numb upon waking. What do you think is the reason? (She takes one spoonful of Korean ginseng daily.)
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
November 18, 2002, 20:42
When the weather turns cold and Yin Qi becomes prosperous, Yang Qi cannot descend smoothly, stagnating upwards, thus causing accelerated heart rate and elevated blood pressure. If treated with cooling medicines, it will instead exacerbate the cold in the Lower Jiao, further depriving Yang Qi of its path of return. Assisting Yang Qi and dispersing Lower Jiao Cold, as Yang Qi descends, blood pressure and heart rate will naturally decrease accordingly. This is based on experience, not speculation. You will realize this after taking the medicine.
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
December 12, 2002, 22:14
It seems Dan Shen and Mai Dong were not suitable. Change the prescription back to the first formula, and use the method from the first round. Continue taking it until New Year's Day, do not stop medication. Stop the Korean ginseng powder as well.
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
December 12, 2002, 22:25
By the way, was Fu Zi added to the previous medicine? Fu Zi in the previous prescription was at the bottom and easy to overlook.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
December 13, 2002, 10:06
Respected Doctor Sanqi, it might be due to the Korean ginseng. Yesterday, my mother didn't take it for a day, and her nighttime blood pressure was relatively normal (around 140/80).
My mother is recovering quickly day by day, recently able to do some housework every day, although I insist she doesn't. Her complexion has also improved. She says every day that you are her savior; she has been so pitifully ill these past few years.
Fu Zi was copied correctly last time, checked four times. Hehe. Do you think we should continue taking it?
Thanks for your trouble. ^_^
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
December 13, 2002, 15:05
You're welcome, then continue taking it.

December 14, 2002, 09:48
My mother's blood pressure is generally abnormal at night, last night it was around 160/90 again. So she wants to switch back to the first formula today.
Thank you.

December 14, 2002, 11:53
Okay, change it.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
December 15, 2002, 10:09
Respected Doctor Sanqi, after my mother took the first formula yesterday afternoon, her nighttime blood pressure became normal (around 130/75). It seems she is not currently suitable for taking tonifying medicines.
Thanks for your trouble.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
December 16, 2002, 09:49
Sorry, Doctor Sanqi, troubling you again.
My mother's condition is improving in other aspects day by day, but yesterday chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations appeared again, worse at night, unable to sleep. My mother took Danshen Dripping Pills, Xiaoyao Wan, and Tianmeng Capsules. We analyze if these could be the causes: the weather became very sunny yesterday afternoon, and cloudy this morning; recently my mother wanted to exercise, went for a walk with me the day before yesterday evening, seemed to have walked a bit too much.
My mother wants to know if she can take Huangqi Jing Oral Liquid along with your first formula.
Please take another look. Thank you.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
December 18, 2002, 10:31
Respected Doctor Sanqi, my mother has experienced dizziness, morning nausea, sweating, fast heart rate (around 100), shortness of breath, inability to pull Qi up from the back of the heart pit, bodily restlessness, and general weakness for the past three days. When these symptoms appear, there is no flatulence. Yesterday afternoon, she had to see a Western doctor, who believed these were negative side effects of high blood pressure and prescribed Songling Xuemaikang Capsules, Betaloc, and Byvalson. But my mother contracted this illness in the 1980s due to family misfortune, when her blood pressure was not high. We want to hear your opinion.
Because taking your first formula has greatly improved her waist and stomach, my mother suggests doing this for now: take the first formula and these Western medicines until New Year's Day, then trouble you to adjust. What do you think?
Hehe, thanks for your trouble.
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
December 18, 2002, 18:51
The Western doctor's judgment is one-sided. Your mother's disease originates in the Lower Jiao. After medication, Cold gradually dissipates, and Yang Qi gradually returns, hence the obvious improvement in the middle and lower parts. However, at this time approaching Winter Solstice, Qi mechanism moves downward. For those with Qi deficiency, Qi gathers downwards, leading to insufficiency of Upper Qi. All the aforementioned symptoms are caused by insufficiency of Lung and Heart Qi in the Upper Jiao. Without movement, nothing happens; with movement, deficiency manifestations appear suddenly. As long as Winter Solstice passes, she will slowly improve. As Yang Qi gradually generates, Upper Jiao Qi will also gradually become sufficient. Absolutely do not take anti-inflammatory drugs or cooling medicines, lest all previous efforts be wasted. To resolve this, add Tusizi (Cuscuta Seed) 60g and Huangqi (Astragalus Root) 60g (add Huangqi after decocting to about five bowls) to the previous formula. Adjust after Winter Solstice.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
December 19, 2002, 15:41
Told my mother this morning, she said your analysis was excellent, doctors encountered in these years couldn't explain it like you, very grateful to you.
Additionally, my mother took Compound Danshen Tablets, Danshen Dripping Pills (containing Bingpian/Borneol), and Songling Xuemaikang (containing Gegen/Pueraria Root and Zhenzhufen/Pearl Powder) these past two days. Are they cooling medicines? The pharmacy staff explained unclearly.
Thanks. Hehe.
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
December 20, 2002, 21:54
Yes, some are cooling.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
December 25, 2002, 09:59
Respected Doctor Sanqi, Merry Christmas. Hehe.
First, tell you good news, my mother's physical condition has progressed greatly. Thank you so much.
After taking the new formula, my mother clearly felt hunger. Food intake increased, tongue coating thinned, flatulence occurred, abdomen not bloated, bowel movements smooth and normal in shape. Now almost finished five doses, feels legs not so tired when walking, can stand for a while. Just feels stiffness in the lower joint when bending over. The original bluish color and dark circles have basically disappeared. Tinnitus cleared. Sleeps soundly but snores less, complexion better, gained some weight.
Still some issues: palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea persist. (Seems like hypoxia) Obvious at 11 AM and 5 PM. Taking some Xiaoyao Wan relieves it, but it contains Bohe/Mint, so later dared not take it. Back slightly chills when sleeping at night during weather changes. Abdomen feels sour for a while after waking up. Still feels sleepy.
Trouble you to take another look, thanks.
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
December 25, 2002, 10:15
These are all phenomena of expelling disease, continue taking it.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
December 25, 2002, 10:33
Okay. Hehe.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
January 4, 2003, 10:01
Respected Doctor Sanqi, my mother sends her greetings. She has now finished eleven doses of Formula One plus Tusizi and Huangqi. Below is her complaint, please take a look:
Currently eating and sleeping very well, tongue body reddish and moist; can do moderate housework. Recently, the feeling of chilliness in the back has not appeared, the phenomenon of foggy vision and halos around lights occurred once (because talked too much that day, mood was bad too) dark circles very faint, bluish color in the triangle below the waist left only a faint small patch. Now just feeling heaviness, soreness, fatigue in the flesh below the lower back and buttocks when standing, stuffy distension sensation inside the inner thigh roots. Anxious, palpitations, mental distress, don't want to stand, soreness and fatigue in calf muscles when walking, etc., lighter than before, but still present. Eyes see things unrealistically, slight nausea upon waking in the morning.
Additionally, fast heart rate (around 100), chest tightness, shortness of breath, always wanting to take a deep sigh. Feels like Qi in the back of the heart pit is very thin, not enough Qi, just as you said my Heart Qi is insufficient, Liver Qi stagnant, Lung Qi insufficient. Worsens with weather changes or more movement, this illness was contracted in the 1980s (mentioned before) later didn't flare up much. Flared up once each in spring and summer this year, but passed quickly, heavier in winter. Reduced after taking your medicine, but fluctuates.
Besides "Cold entering Shaoyin" for my waist and leg disease you mentioned, could there also be Qi and Blood factors? Because past doctors said it was dual deficiency of Qi and Blood, my Qi and Blood haven't been good since youth: loved nosebleeds in summer when young, menstrual cycles often 40-50 days or two months apart in youth, volume very small. Also often yawn, several even up to ten times in a row, with tears.
Sanqisheng (Doctor Sanqi)
January 4, 2003, 15:23
Yes, indeed there is also Blood deficiency, now can appropriately tonify Blood: Huangqi (Astragalus Root) 60g, Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 60g, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) 60g, Fu Ling (Poria) 30g, Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome) 10g, Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) 30g, Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) 50g, Fu Zi (Prepared Aconite Lateral Root) 60g (decocted first).
Usage as before.
Chang'an Shaonian (Youth of Chang'an)
January 12, 2003, 10:13
Respected Doctor Sanqi: My mother has taken the medicine with Danggui for four doses, feeling the stuffy distension sensation below the waist and thigh roots has significantly improved. But still feels palpitations and shortness of breath, fluctuating. Had an episode the day before yesterday, felt more energetic the day before and did some housework. Had another episode last night, heavier. During episodes, feels weak all over, shortness of breath, poor appetite, belching, no flatulence, dizziness, nausea, dry retching, feels like Qi of Zang-Fu organs is stagnant. Qi not flowing smoothly, especially Qi in the back of the heart pit cannot be pulled up, unbearable Qi憋 (stagnation). Also insomnia, tightness between eyebrows, vision foggy, bowel movements recently always soft strip-like paste, sometimes hard nodules in paste.
When this illness flared up in the 1980s, some doctors called it Liver Qi Stagnation, others called it Stomach Qi descending. In 1998, neurologist diagnosed "Depression," after taking "Prozac," blood pressure dropped significantly, and there was flatulence. (This drug mainly targets conditions caused by serotonin deficiency) At that time, due to complex illness, other aspects didn't feel obvious. Only after taking your medicine, major illness gone, such as stomach, waist pain, now just these above.
Additionally, in September health check, liver function "GGT" slightly high.
Trouble you to diagnose again. Thanks.

The aforementioned fluctuating condition is still caused by insufficiency of Upper Qi. If Clear Qi cannot fully ascend, Turbid Qi cannot fully descend, presenting a state of Upper Deficiency and Lower Excess. However, when Qi ascends, various symptoms decrease, recurring unpredictably. Wait for Spring Qi to generate day by day, vigorous growth, naturally can be without medicine and rejoice. Original medicine can continue to be taken, if finding it troublesome, change to Buzhong Yiqi Wan, take one pill at 9 AM and one pill before bed daily.
