Patient's question:
I might be a bit qi deficient. Right now, I'm all over soft and weak, lacking any energy. My memory is declining, and my reactions are slow. I prefer sitting over standing, and lying over sitting. I'm quite troubled by my current state, not knowing why I can't be as energetic as other young people, always seeming to have endless energy. I get tired just by walking around a bit, and when I come down in the morning, seeing the sun makes me dizzy. The heat also leaves me feeling completely drained. I don't know how this came about or if there's a solution. Besides being a bit overweight (67 kg, 165 cm), does that have anything to do with it? Could it be due to my body's heat production?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is first necessary to check the thyroid function to rule out thyroid-related disorders. Additionally, it is important to consider how training and exercise can lead to significant stress, which may result in autonomic nervous system dysfunction and many of the symptoms commonly associated with neurasthenia. At this point, it is still advisable to pay attention to re-adjusting one's lifestyle and dietary habits, as well as increasing physical exercise and leisure activities. When necessary, various medications such as oryzanol can be used to help regulate the condition.
