Gui Zhi and Fu Ling Formulas 7 Case 1 Palpitations Dr Liu Du Zhou Mr Zhang age 26 This patient had a buildup in the epigastric area to the point that there were pulsations that would not settle Abdominal diagnosis revealed water sounds and upper abdominal pulsations Every 3 5 days he had an episode of watery diarrhea that felt cold and had no odor After the diarrhea the pulsations decreased I asked about food and drink and urination and he said these were both normal His tongue moss was white and slippery with scanty moisture His pulse was wiry This was fluids not transforming in the stomach This was water pulsations because the Qi closed The water flowed from the stomach downward into the intestinal tract and this caused the diarrhea These fluids decreased after the diarrhea This is why the pulsations would diminish after the diarrhea And yet after a few days more would be generated and the pulsations would return The treatment principle was to warm the middle and transform fluids Translated and Compiled by Sharon Weizenbaum 2019
