What are the symptoms of spleen-lung qi deficiency?

　　Symptoms of Spleen-Kidney Qi Deficiency include pallor, decreased appetite, abdominal pain and diarrhea, cold limbs, fatigue, sluggish mental responses, or soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees. This pattern is primarily associated with two conditions. First, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which arises from chronic retention due to Spleen deficiency, leading to phlegm-stasis accumulation and urinary difficulty. Then, what are the symptoms of Spleen-Lung Qi Deficiency?

　　What Are the Symptoms of Spleen-Lung Qi Deficiency?

　　Spleen-Lung Qi Deficiency may result from prolonged illness, chronic cough or asthma, concurrent Lung Qi deficiency and Spleen deficiency, improper diet, overwork, or Spleen damage impairing its ability to transport refined nutrients (Jing-Wei) to the Lungs. Clinically, it manifests as anorexia, abdominal distension, loose stools, persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, low and weak voice, lethargy, fatigue, shortness of breath, copious thin sputum, edema of the limbs, pallor, a pale and slippery tongue coating, and a deficient pulse.

　　When the Spleen fails to perform its function of healthy transportation and transformation, dampness accumulates and congeals into phlegm. The Lungs govern Qi and regulate water metabolism. Therefore, clinically this presents as persistent cough, shortness of breath and wheezing, copious white sputum, anorexia, abdominal distension and loose stools, low and weak voice, fatigue and lethargy, pallor—and even facial and limb edema—along with a deficient pulse.

　　In daily life, patients should maintain a positive mindset, actively cooperate with their physicians’ treatment plans, take prescribed medications regularly and in correct dosages, and pay attention to routine self-care—so that their condition improves as soon as possible.
