Discussion states: After childbirth, qi and blood are not yet restored. Wind pathogen invades the body and enters the meridians, leading to wind stroke (Zhong Feng). The symptoms include trismus (lockjaw), spasm of tendons and vessels, and deviation of the face and eyes. If it affects the five zang organs and six fu organs, the manifestations depend on the site of invasion. Severe cases may present with convulsions, staring gaze, opisthotonos (body arched backward like a bow), coma, incontinence of urine and feces, aphonia (loss of voice), and inability to speak.
