The "Seven Qi" refers to Cold Qi, Heat Qi, Resentment Qi (Qi of indignation), Anger Qi, Worry Qi, Joy Qi, and Sorrow Qi. When these seven types of Qi accumulate, they form hard and firm masses, as large as a cup. Cold Qi causes vomiting and nausea; Heat Qi causes mental confusion, dizziness, and vertigo; Anger Qi causes heat and pain in the Upper Jiao that is unbearable, with Qi rushing upward to the heart, shortness of breath, a sensation of impending death, difficulty in breathing, and inability to rest on the bed; Sorrow Qi causes forgetfulness and mental unrest, hence it is called the "Seven Qi."
