What are the symptoms of tuberculosis?

Consumption, also known as deficiency, is mainly caused by deficiency of Qi and blood and decreased function of internal organs. The main symptoms are sallow complexion, dry mouth and tongue, general weakness, cold limbs, etc. So what are the symptoms of tuberculosis? What should we do about tuberculosis? What is the cause of tuberculosis? Today I will take you to learn about it, and I hope you can learn what you want from it.

Symptoms of asthenia

1. Symptoms include fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, haggard face, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, fever in the five parts of the body, chills, cold limbs, weak pulse, etc. If the disease lasts for a long time and the patient is not cured, the symptoms may gradually become more severe.

2. The patient has pathogenic factors that cause asthenia and a long medical history.

3. Exclude similar diseases and symptoms. Emphasis should be placed on excluding deficiency syndrome types in tuberculosis and other diseases.

Guidance:

There are many reasons that can lead to asthenia. The "Lixu Yuanjian·There are Six Causes of Deficiency Syndrome" states that "there are congenital causes, acquired causes, causes after smallpox and illness, causes caused by external factors, causes caused by circumstances, and causes caused by medicine." This is a relatively comprehensive summary of the causes of deficiency and fatigue.

Various causes of disease act on the human body, causing deficiency of Qi, blood, Yin and Yang in the internal organs, which will lead to deficiency of Qi, blood, Yin and Yang over time. Combined with clinical observations, the causes and pathogenesis of asthenia mainly include the following five aspects: weak constitution; excessive fatigue; improper diet; serious and long-term illness; misdiagnosis and lack of treatment.

3 What to do if you have asthenia and qi and blood deficiency

Deficiency of heart qi;

1. Palpitations, shortness of breath, especially when exerted, fatigue, spontaneous sweating, pale tongue, and weak pulse. Treatment principle: replenish qi and nourish the heart, replenish blood and calm the mind. Main recipe: Seven Blessings Drink. This prescription is suitable for symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating, fatigue, and insomnia caused by deficiency of Qi and blood and lack of nourishment to the heart.

3. What to do if you have consumptive disease

(1) Common symptoms include fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, haggard face, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, fever in the five parts of the body, chills, cold limbs, and weak pulse. If the disease lasts for a long time and the patient is not cured, the symptoms may gradually become severe.

(2) For the treatment of asthenia, the basic principle is to nourish the body. Just as it is said in Su Wen, San Bu Jiu Hou Lun: "Replenish what is deficient". When replenishing the body, firstly, it is necessary to adopt treatment prescriptions and medicines that invigorate Qi, nourish blood, nourish Yin, and warm Yang according to the different properties of the disease; secondly, it is necessary to select prescriptions and medicines closely in combination with the different locations of the disease in the five internal organs to enhance the targeted nature of the treatment.

As mentioned above, I hope to give a reference to patients in need. Consumption is mostly caused by weak body resistance, lack of conditioning or long-term illness. This needs to be slowly regulated with Chinese medicine. In daily life, you should pay more attention to health exercises and nourish the liver. Long-term illness can easily damage the liver, so patients are generally weak. What causes consumptive disease? It is related to overeating and long-term illness.

4 What is the cause of asthenia?

Asthenia often occurs in patients with congenital deficiency, acquired disorder, serious illness, long-term illness, and depletion of vital energy. The course of the disease is generally long, the symptoms gradually worsen, and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time. To treat diseases such as consumptive disease, we must first find out the cause so that we can prescribe the right medicine and completely cure the disease.

There are many reasons that can lead to asthenia. The "Lixu Yuanjian·There are Six Causes of Deficiency Syndrome" states that "there are congenital causes, acquired causes, causes after smallpox and illness, causes caused by external factors, causes caused by circumstances, and causes caused by medicine." This is a relatively comprehensive summary of the causes of deficiency and fatigue. Various causes of disease act on the human body, causing deficiency of Qi, blood, Yin and Yang in the internal organs, which will lead to deficiency of Qi, blood, Yin and Yang over time. Combined with clinical observations, the causes and pathogenesis of asthenia mainly include the following five aspects.

1. Weak constitution, causing illness due to deficiency. The formation of various symptoms of deficiency and fatigue are closely related to weak constitution and physical weakness. A weak endowment may be caused by parents who are frail and sickly, old and frail, or lack of nourishment during the fetus, insufficient pregnancy, or improper feeding after birth, resulting in insufficient water, grain, and essence. People with congenital deficiencies and weak constitutions are prone to illness, and are prone to long-term illness after illness, which will cause the internal organs' qi, blood, yin and yang to become increasingly deficient, leading to consumptive disease.

2. Excessive work will damage the five internal organs. Appropriate work, including mental and physical work, is necessary for a normal life and maintaining health. However, excessive work is harmful to your health, as it will lead to exhaustion and eventually lead to consumptive disease. Among the excessive fatigue, overwork of mind and overindulgence in lust are more common. Excessive mental strain such as depression, worry, unresolved thoughts, and unfulfilled desires can easily cause the heart to lose nourishment, the spleen to lose its healthy function, damage the heart and spleen, and cause deficiency of Qi and blood, which will eventually lead to asthenia over time. However, early marriage, multiple births, excessive sexual intercourse, frequent masturbation etc. can easily lead to deficiency of kidney essence and insufficient kidney qi, which can lead to fatigue over time.

3. Improper diet damages the spleen and stomach. Overeating, imbalance between hunger and fullness, picky eating, malnutrition, excessive drinking and other reasons will lead to damage to the spleen and stomach, inability to produce the essence of water and grain, insufficient source of qi and blood, and lack of nourishment to the internal organs and meridians, which will lead to fatigue over time.

4. After a serious illness or a long-term illness, if you fail to regulate your body properly, the evil qi will be too strong, the internal organs will be damaged, and it will be difficult for the righteous qi to recover in a short time, which will lead to exhaustion over time. For those who suffer from chronic illness and become exhausted, the nature of the disease varies in the degree to which the body's qi, blood, yin and yang are depleted. If fever lasts for a long time, it will consume yin blood; if cold disease lasts for a long time, it will damage qi and yang; if blood stasis lasts for a long time, new blood will not be produced; or if the patient is not properly adjusted after the illness, it will be difficult to restore the vital energy, all of which can develop into asthenia.

5. Misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment leads to loss of vital energy. Due to incorrect diagnosis or improper selection of medicines, vital energy is damaged. If mistakes are made repeatedly, it will not only delay the treatment of the disease, but also make the Yin essence or Yang Qi difficult to recover, thus leading to exhaustion. In today's clinical practice, there have been cases where the patient has suffered from asthenia due to excessive use of certain chemical drugs or exposure to harmful substances (such as radiation), which has damaged the Yin essence, Qi and blood.
