During the Wude era of the Tang Dynasty, a virtuous nun named Jingming suffered from this condition for a long time. It occurred once or twice a month, and each episode was fatal.

For patients who have previously taken mineral drugs (Shiyao), and after experiencing vomiting and diarrhea due to Cholera-like disease, subsequent administration of various hot-natured medicines stopped the vomiting and diarrhea but led to a deficiency syndrome characterized by mental restlessness, heat in the hands and feet, dry mouth with desire for water, vomiting and regurgitation, dizziness and oppression, and a rapid and urgent pulse. Or, following an epidemic febrile disease where pathogenic toxins remain uneliminated, if vomiting and diarrhea persist with continued fever and severe chest pain described as "heart splitting," use the following prescription to resolve these symptoms:
