【歌】心痛当分久与新，暴婴寒气必须温。若还稍久多成郁，郁积因而作热蒸。大实痛时难以按，按之痛
定作虚论。蛔虫痛止偏能食，脉涩须知死血因。真痛在心无药疗，厥疼胃脘正当心。
【论】夫心痛者，有真、有厥。真者，邪中心君，手足
青至节即死，非药可疗。厥者，邪客于心胞络、胃脘之间，当心之分，非真心受证，故可治也。又有寒厥、热
厥之分，大实、大虚之别。古人又有九种之名∶曰饮、曰食、曰风、曰冷、曰热、曰悸、曰虫、曰疰、曰去来
痛，若此者，皆可究其因而施治也。其如陈无择云有五脏及诸经、诸腑心痛，虽言之详，而无治例，反使后学
有惑于心，故不具载，盖亦不过寒、热、表、里、虚、实之候也。丹溪云∶心脾痛，须分新久，若明知身受寒
气，口食寒物，于初病之时，当以温散、温利之剂。若得稍久而成郁，郁则蒸热，热久必生火，若欲行温剂，
宁无助火添病乎？故古方多以山栀为热药向导，则邪易伏，病易退。又审平昔喜食热物，以致死血留于胃脘，
或因痰气、食积郁滞于胃作痛者。如此等例，皆前人之所未发，后学当导而行之，斯活法也。
谨按∶世人患真心痛者极少。真心痛者，平素原有痰，卒然大痛如割，入于无声，汗出不休，舌强无言，
手足厥冷，此疾一作，死在旦夕。针灸之所不施，药力之所未及，患之者十无一生。盖寒邪直中心经，君火不

痛时如有物阻碍，累累不得下，为胃脘停食。痛时嘈杂不宁，如饥如饱，怏怏欲吐，吐即稍宽，为痰饮停积。
痛时隐隐闷结，胸臆相引，得嗳觉宽，为忧郁所致。痛时欲近暖处，饮热酒即解，为寒客心胞络。痛时自上而

【歌诀】心痛应当区分病程的久暂与新旧，突然感受寒气所致的心痛必须用温法治疗。如果病程稍长，多形成气机郁滞，郁积日久则化热蒸腾。大实证疼痛剧烈且拒按（按压时疼痛加剧），若喜按则定为虚证论治。蛔虫引起的疼痛特点是疼痛停止后反而能进食，脉象涩滞需知是死血（瘀血）所致。真心痛病位在心脏本体，无药可医；厥心痛病位在胃脘部，正当心窝处。
【论述】所谓心痛，分为真心痛和厥心痛两种。真心痛，是邪气直接侵犯心君（心脏本体），症状表现为手足青紫直至关节，此时即死，非药物所能救治。厥心痛，是邪气客居于心包络与胃脘之间，部位正当心窝处，并非心脏本体受邪，所以可以治疗。又有寒厥和热厥之分，以及大实和大虚的区别。古人又有心痛的九种名称：即饮心痛、食心痛、风心痛、冷心痛、热心痛、悸心痛、虫心痛、疰心痛、去来痛（疼痛游走不定），对于这些情况，都可以探究病因并施以治疗。至于陈无择所说的五脏及诸经、诸腑心痛，虽然论述详尽，但没有具体的治疗法则，反而使后学者产生困惑，因此这里不详细记载，大概也不过是寒、热、表、里、虚、实的证候罢了。朱丹溪说：心脾痛，必须区分新病和久病。如果明确知道患者感受了寒气，食用了寒凉食物，在初病之时，应当使用温散、温利的方剂。如果病程稍久形成郁滞，郁滞则蒸腾发热，热久必生火，如果想使用温补药剂，岂不是助火添病吗？所以古方多以山栀作为热药的向导，这样邪气容易伏藏，疾病容易消退。又要审视平素喜食热物，导致死血留于胃脘，或因痰气、食积郁滞于胃引起疼痛的情况。像这样的例子，都是前人未曾阐发的，后学者应当引导并施行这些方法，这才是灵活变通的治疗之法。
谨按：世人患真心痛者极少。真心痛的患者，平素原有痰湿，突然发生剧烈疼痛如刀割，发作时无声息，汗出不止，舌强直不能言语，手足厥冷，此病一旦发作，死亡就在旦夕之间。针灸无法施治，药力也无法达到，患病者十无一活。这是因为寒邪直中手少阴心经，心之君火不能抵御敌邪的缘故。现在患心痛的人，实际上是胃脘和心包络疼痛罢了。如果疼痛极度剧烈如咬噬感，时常吐出清水，面色苍白缺乏光泽，这是虫邪上攻所致。疼痛时感觉如有物体阻碍，累累然不得下行，这是胃脘停食所致。疼痛时嘈杂不安，似饥非饥似饱非饱，心中郁闷想吐，吐后稍觉宽松，这是痰饮停积所致。疼痛时隐隐闷结，牵引胸臆，打嗝后觉得宽松，这是忧郁所致。疼痛时喜欢靠近温暖处，喝热酒即可缓解，这是寒邪客居心包络所致。疼痛时自上而下，听到腹部唧唧有声，搔抓无措，坐卧不安，心下如刮擦感，向上连及胸臆，这是积血不消，被火热所承载，不可误认为是虫痛而投用杀虫药剂。
【脉诊】心痛脉象微急，疼痛剧烈时脉象沉伏。脉象阳微阴弦，或短促且数。脉紧实伴大便困难，脉滑实为痰积。心痛牵引背部，脉象微而大，寸口脉沉迟，关脉紧数锐利。
虚痛
体质虚弱之人患心痛，钱乙说：心虚痛者，可用炒盐补益。如果用物体按住疼痛就停止的，属于挟虚证，用二陈汤加炮姜末调和服用。（方剂见痰证章节。）如果是久病元气虚弱，肢体怯弱单薄，脉象虚弱，手喜欢按压的，用六君子汤加砂仁、香附。（方剂见脾胃章节。）
实痛
因生气愤怒后进食，突然疼痛且大便闭塞，心胸部位高起，手不可触碰的，是大实证疼痛，用煮黄丸，之后用本汤去除余邪。胃脘湿热疼痛，用小胃丹。（方剂见痰证章节。）
煮黄丸

作一帖，煎服。
热厥心痛
热厥心痛的患者，必定纵欲饮酒，体内蓄积热邪在胃，偶然遇到寒邪郁遏而发作，所以身体发热足部发冷，疼痛剧烈则烦躁呕吐，额头出汗，脉象洪大。应当灸太溪穴、昆仑穴，表里双泻，内服金铃子散。疼痛停止后，服用枳术丸以去除余邪。（方剂见脾胃章节。）初起疼痛时，用盐汤探吐，得吐后即发散邪气。心脾痛日久，则不是寒证，即使有寒，也郁而为热，用二陈汤加山栀（炒黑）、川芎、香附，疼痛剧烈的，加炮姜反佐。（方剂见痰证章节。）或者单用山栀一味，入姜汁煎服。大便不通，用大承气汤、大陷胸汤之类攻下。（方剂均见伤食章节。）

[Verse] Heart pain should be distinguished by the duration of the disease, whether new or old. Sudden heart pain caused by cold pathogen invasion must be treated with warming methods. If the course is slightly longer, it often results in Qi stagnation; prolonged stagnation generates heat and steaming. Severe excess-type pain is difficult to tolerate pressure (refuses pressure); if it prefers pressure, it is diagnosed as deficiency. Pain caused by roundworms stops when the patient can eat; a choppy pulse indicates blood stasis (dead blood). True heart pain affects the Heart organ itself and is incurable by medicine; Jue heart pain affects the epigastrium, located just below the heart pit.
[Dissertation] Heart pain is divided into True Heart Pain and Jue Heart Pain. True Heart Pain occurs when pathogens directly invade the Heart Monarch (the Heart organ itself); symptoms include cyanosis of the hands and feet extending to the joints, leading to death, which cannot be cured by medicine. Jue Heart Pain occurs when pathogens lodge between the Pericardium Collateral and the epigastrium, at the location of the heart pit; it does not affect the Heart organ itself, so it is treatable. There are also distinctions between Cold Jue and Heat Jue, and between severe Excess and severe Deficiency. The ancients named nine types of heart pain: Drink (Yin), Food (Shi), Wind (Feng), Cold (Leng), Heat (Re), Palpitation (Ji), Worm (Chong), Zhuan (Zhu), and Migrating Pain (Qu Lai Tong). For these conditions, one can investigate the etiology and apply treatment. Chen Wuyue mentioned heart pain related to the five Zang organs, various meridians, and six Fu organs; although his description was detailed, he provided no specific treatment examples, causing confusion for later students. Therefore, they are not recorded here, as they essentially fall under the patterns of Cold, Heat, Exterior, Interior, Deficiency, and Excess. Zhu Danxi stated: For heart-spleen pain, one must distinguish between new and old diseases. If it is known that the patient suffered from cold exposure or ingested cold foods, at the onset of the disease, warming dispersing and warming promoting agents should be used. If the disease persists and forms stagnation, stagnation generates heat; prolonged heat produces fire. Using warming tonics in such cases would only assist fire and worsen the disease. Therefore, ancient formulas often use Gardenia (Shan Zhi) as a guide for heat-clearing herbs, allowing pathogens to subside and diseases to recede. One must also examine patients who habitually enjoy hot foods, leading to dead blood remaining in the epigastrium, or pain caused by phlegm-Qi or food accumulation stagnating in the stomach. Such cases were not fully expounded by predecessors; later students should adopt and practice these methods, which constitutes flexible treatment.
Note: True Heart Pain is rare among people. Patients with True Heart Pain usually have pre-existing phlegm; suddenly, severe pain like cutting occurs, accompanied by silence, incessant sweating, stiff tongue with inability to speak, and cold extremities. Once this disease manifests, death occurs within a day or evening. Acupuncture cannot be applied, and medicinal power cannot reach the site; ten out of ten patients die. This is because cold pathogens directly strike the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian, and the Heart's Minister Fire cannot resist the enemy. Current cases of "heart pain" are actually pain in the epigastrium and the Pericardium Collateral. If the pain is extremely severe like biting, with frequent vomiting of clear fluid, pale complexion lacking luster, it is due to worm pathogens attacking upwards. If there is a sensation of obstruction during pain, feeling full and unable to descend, it is due to food retention in the epigastrium. If there is discomfort and restlessness during pain, feeling neither hungry nor full, with a desire to vomit and relief after vomiting, it is due to phlegm-fluid retention. If the pain is dull and knotted, radiating to the chest, relieved by belching, it is caused by depression. If the patient desires warmth and relief comes from drinking hot wine, it is due to cold pathogens lodging in the Pericardium Collateral. If the pain moves downwards from above, accompanied by gurgling sounds, restlessness in sitting and lying, scraping sensation in the epigastrium radiating to the chest, it is due to uneliminated accumulated blood carried by fire; do not mistake it for worm pain and administer vermifuges.
[Pulse Diagnosis] Heart pain presents with a slightly tight pulse; when pain is severe, the pulse may be deep and hidden. A pulse that is superficially weak and deeply wiry, or short and rapid. Tight and solid pulse with constipation indicates phlegm accumulation (slippery and solid). Heart pain radiating to the back presents with a pulse that is slightly large; Cun position is deep and slow, Guan position is tight, rapid, and sharp.
Deficiency Pain
In patients with weak constitution suffering from heart pain, Qian Yi stated: For Heart deficiency pain, roasted salt can be used to tonify. If pressing on the area stops the pain, it indicates accompanying deficiency; use Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) with roasted Ginger Powder mixed. (Formula see Phlegm Syndrome chapter.) For chronic illness with Yuan Qi deficiency, frail limbs, weak pulse, and preference for abdominal pressure, use Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) with Amomum (Sha Ren) and Cyperus (Xiang Fu). (Formula see Spleen-Stomach chapter.)
Excess Pain
Sudden pain with constipation following anger and eating, with a raised chest/epigastric region and refusal to touch, is severe excess pain. Use Zhu Huang Wan (Boiled Yellow Pill), followed by Ben Tang to eliminate residual pathogens. Damp-heat pain in the epigastrium uses Xiao Wei Dan (Small Stomach Pill). (Formula see Phlegm Syndrome chapter.)
Zhu Huang Wan
Treats severe excess heart pain.
Realgar (1 liang, ground) Croton Seed (5 qian, peeled, finely ground)
Mix with 2 liang of white flour, make pills the size of Sophora seeds with water. Take several pills with water per dose. If diarrhea occurs, stop taking it; take Ben Tang to remove residual pathogens.
Ben Tang
To be taken after treating heart pain.
Ben (0.5 liang, note: text likely missing character, retained as is) Atractylodes Macrocephala (1 liang, soaked in rice wash water, fried)
Make one dose, decoct and drink.
Heat Jue Heart Pain
Patients with Heat Jue Heart Pain indulge in alcohol, accumulating heat in the stomach. Upon encountering cold constraint, it erupts. Symptoms include body heat with cold feet, irritability and vomiting when pain is severe, sweating on the forehead, and a surging-large pulse. Moxibustion should be applied to Taixi (KI3) and Kunlun (BL60) to drain both interior and exterior. Internally take Jin Ling Zi San (Melia Dispersion). After pain subsides, take Zhi Zhu Wan (Aurantium and Atractylodes Pill) to remove residual pathogens. (Formula see Spleen-Stomach chapter.) At the onset of pain, induce vomiting with salt water; vomiting allows for dispersal. For heart-spleen pain persisting for a long time, it is not cold; even if cold exists, it transforms into heat due to stagnation. Use Er Chen Tang with Gardenia (charred black), Ligusticum (Chuan Xiong), and Cyperus (Xiang Fu). For severe pain, add roasted Ginger as an antagonist. (Formula see Phlegm Syndrome chapter.) Alternatively, use Gardenia alone with ginger juice. For constipation, use Da Cheng Qi Tang or Da Xian Xiong Tang to purge. (Formulas see Food Injury chapter.)
Jin Ling Zi San
Melia Fruit (1 liang) Corydalis Rhizome (1 liang)
Grind to powder. Take 2 qian with warm wine.
Cold Jue Heart Pain
Patients with Cold Jue Heart Pain have cold extremities, profuse cold sweat, and in severe cases, cyanotic-black fingernails/toenails. Urine is clear and abundant, no thirst, faint qi and weak strength, pulse is deep, fine, and minute. Use Shu Fu Tang.
For Great Cold Jue, sudden pain (not chronic pain; chronic pain is not cold). Zhu Danxi said: If it is known that the patient suffered cold exposure and ingested cold foods, at the onset, use warming dispersing and warming promoting drugs, such as Cao Dou Kou Wan. For constipation, use Yuan Rong Hou Po Wan.
Shu Fu Tang

Phlegm Accumulation and Food Accumulation Heart Pain
Phlegm-fluids stagnate in the epigastrium, causing pain at the heart pit. Use old snail shells from walls (preserved nature), fried Atractylodes Macrocephala, Pumice Stone, Gardenia, Cyperus, and Arisaema Cum Bile each 2 liang. Fructus Aurantii, Green Tangerine Peel, Costus Root, Pinellia Tuber, and Amomum each 0.5 liang. Bind with paste, take with ginger decoction. For food accumulation pain, use Bao He Wan. (Formula see Food Injury chapter.)
Blood Stasis Pain
Habitual consumption of hot foods leads to dead blood remaining in the stomach opening, causing pain. Pulse is deep, empty, and choppy. For upper jiao involvement, use Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with Peach Kernel, Safflower, Moutan Cortex, Fructus Aurantii, and Corydalis Rhizome. (Formula see Blood Syndrome chapter.) For mild cases, use leek juice and Platycodon Root to open stagnation. For severe cases, use Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang to purge. (Formula see Blood Syndrome chapter.)
Worm Pain and Zhu Pain
When Ascaris attacks the heart diaphragm causing pain, the patient can eat once the pain stops. White spots on the face and red lips indicate this condition. Treat with Toosendan Fruit, Tin Ash, or use Wu Mei Wan or Ji Xiao Wan. When Ascaris bites causing heart pain, nausea, and vomiting, take Wu Mei Wan with Sichuan Pepper Soup. For Zhu Heart Pain, all ten types of Zhu diseases cause heart pain; use Hua Chong Wan, drunk with Polygonum Hydropiper decoction.
