（附论）
所谓时气病出现烦闷症状，是由于阴气不足、阳气偏盛所致，因此身体发热并感到烦躁。如果邪毒之气停留在心脏部位而导致烦躁，就会使人感到胸闷且想呕吐。如果患者胃内有燥屎结滞而引发烦躁，可能会出现胡言乱语、围绕肚脐疼痛、腹部胀满等症状。这些都应当仔细审查其证候表现来进行治疗。

(Attached Discussion)
The manifestation of irritability (Fan, 烦) in seasonal warm diseases (Shiqi Bing, 时气病) is caused by a deficiency of Yin Qi (Yin Qi, 阴气) and an excess of Yang Qi (Yang Qi, 阳qi). Consequently, the body becomes hot and irritable. If the pathogenic toxic factors (Duwa, 毒瓦) reside in the Heart (Xin, 心), it causes chest oppression and a desire to vomit. If there are dry accumulations in the Stomach (Wei, 胃) leading to irritability, symptoms may include delirious speech (Chanyu, 谵语), pain surrounding the umbilicus, and abdominal fullness. All these conditions require careful examination of the syndrome patterns (Zhenghou, 证候) for treatment.
