惊,是指心脏突然跳动而不安宁。悸,是指心跳动且害怕惊吓。怔忡,是指心中躁动不安,惊恐的样子好像有人要捕捉自己一样。这些症状多因富贵之人忧愁思虑,或贫穷之人愿望不得实现,从而形成健忘。表现为突然忘记事情,尽心竭力思考却想不起来,做事有始无终,说话不知首尾。这三种病症病机相同但名称不同,其根源都在于心血虚亏。因为心没有血液滋养,就像鱼失去了水,惊恐地跳跃一样。症状时发时止,是因为痰随火动。瘦人多属血虚,肥人多属痰饮。治疗方法应当先滋养心血,调理脾土,同时也应保持幽静闲适、安乐的心态,克制忧虑,远离七情六淫的干扰,身体自然就会安康。《素问》说:“东方青色,入通于肝,其病发作惊骇。”又说:“脾将热邪转移给肝,就会发生惊骇和鼻出血。”张仲景说:“饮食少而饮水多,水液停聚不下,严重的会出现心悸,轻微的会气短。”又说:“五种饮邪停蓄,闭阻于中脘,最容易使人产生惊悸。”又说:“因遇到大事受惊而形成的,名叫心惊胆寒。”病位在心经和胆经,其脉象大而动摇,跳动像豆子一样,动摇不定没有头尾。朱丹溪说:“因病从惊而得的,则神气外越离开舍宅,舍宅失去津液则形成痰;血气进入舍宅,则痰阻碍神气,使其不能回归。”
黄帝问道:“足阳明胃经发病,厌恶人和火光,听到木头敲击的声音就惊恐,但听到钟鼓声却不为所动,为什么呢?”岐伯回答说:“阳明经是胃脉,胃属土,所以听到木音而惊恐,这是因为土畏惧木。”又说:“痰饮惊悸属于脾土病变。”凡是火病导致吐血、盗汗之后,多见此症,因此一并附录于此。

Generally, phlegm-fire syndromes often manifest as left hypochondriac pain. If the pain is so severe that one cannot turn over in bed, it indicates exhaustion of the Liver channel, where its "leaves" have scorched; this condition is mostly incurable.
A patient suffered from severe right hypochondriac pain. Upon pulse diagnosis, the pulses in all six positions were slippery, indicating pain caused by phlegm flowing and obstructing. I prescribed:
Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi) (1 qian), Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia, prepared) (7 fen), Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu, stir-fried with child's urine) (5 fen), Arecae Pericarpium (Dafupi, washed) (5 fen), Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu, soaked) (5 fen), Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (Noupu, stir-fried with ginger), Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (Zhiqiao) (3.5 fen), Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (Pianzi Jianghuang) (4 fen), Maltum (Shenqu, stir-fried) (5 fen), Hordeum Fructus Germinatus (Maiya, stir-fried) (5 fen).
After several doses, the patient recovered.
Jing (Startle) refers to the sudden palpitation and restlessness of the Heart. Ji (Palpitation) refers to heart palpitations accompanied by fear of being startled. Zhengchong (Severe Palpitation) refers to inner restlessness and anxiety, feeling terrified as if someone were about to capture them. These conditions often arise from excessive worry among the wealthy or unfulfilled desires among the poor, leading to Jianwang (Forgetfulness). This manifests as suddenly forgetting matters, striving hard to recall but failing, starting tasks without finishing them, and speaking without coherence. Although these three syndromes have different names, their pathology is identical, rooted in Blood deficiency of the Heart. Since the Heart lacks blood nourishment, it is like a fish out of water, jumping in terror. The symptoms come and go because phlegm moves with fire. Thin individuals are mostly deficient in Blood, while obese individuals mostly have Phlegm-fluid retention. The treatment method should first nourish Heart Blood and regulate Spleen Earth. One should also maintain a tranquil and joyful state of mind, restrain worries, and avoid the Seven Emotions and Six Exogenous Pathogens to ensure health. *Suwen* states: "The color of the East is green, entering through the Liver; its disease manifests as startle and horror." It also states: "When Heat transfers from the Spleen to the Liver, it causes startle and epistaxis." Zhang Zhongjing stated: "When food intake is low but fluid intake is high, water stagnates and fails to descend; severely, it causes palpitations; mildly, it causes shortness of breath." He also stated: "When five types of fluid retention accumulate and block the Middle Jiao, it most easily causes palpitations." He further stated: "When caused by shock from major events, it is called 'Heart Startle and Gallbladder Cold.' The disease location is in the Heart and Gallbladder channels; the pulse is large and trembling, beating like a bean, shaking without head or tail." Zhu Danxi stated: "When a disease originates from startle, the Spirit leaves its residence; when the residence loses fluids, phlegm forms; when Qi and Blood enter the residence, phlegm repels the Spirit, preventing it from returning."
The Yellow Emperor asked: "When the Foot-Yangming Stomach Channel is diseased, the patient dislikes people and fire, and is startled by the sound of wood, yet unmoved by bells and drums. Why?" Qibo replied: "The Yangming channel is the Stomach channel; the Stomach belongs to Earth. Therefore, hearing the sound of Wood causes startle, because Earth fears Wood." He also said: "Phlegm-fluid and startle-palpitations belong to Spleen-Earth pathology." After hemorrhage or night sweats caused by Fire diseases, this syndrome is frequently seen; therefore, it is appended here.
