Patient's question:
Recently, my body has started to feel gradually unwell, and I don't know the reason. I often sweat even when taking a nap in the evening, and I have little appetite for dinner. My chest also feels stuffy at times. A friend told me it might be due to some imbalance between yin and yang, but I'm not too sure. So, I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of yin deficiency and yang excess?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity actually manifest as heat-related conditions, such as abdominal discomfort, dry heat, restlessness, and symptoms like five-palm hyperthermia. If you experience sweating during a nap, this may indicate (fán kě), which is a typical symptom of yin deficiency. Lack of appetite for dinner and frequent chest tightness may suggest stomach issues, such as gastritis. It is recommended to seek a follow-up examination at a local reputable hospital in a timely manner.
