Patient's question:
I have always been afraid of heat, with excessive sweating in my hands and feet, and little dreaming. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pulse diagnosis indicated Yang deficiency, but the doctor who consulted described the symptoms and said it was Yin deficiency. So, can the results of pulse diagnosis in TCM be trusted?Doctor's answer:
The constitution related to Yang deficiency is characterized by aversion to cold and fear of cold. In your case, it shouldn't be a symptom of Yang deficiency, but rather Yin deficiency. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes the four diagnostic methods—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. Simply proving symptoms is not sufficient for a definitive diagnosis; a comprehensive evaluation of all four methods is necessary. Otherwise, there is a risk of misdiagnosis.
