Symptoms of constipation due to Qi deficiency include physical weakness, spontaneous sweating, fatigue, dizziness and blurred vision, insomnia, and poor appetite. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation. Treatment typically involves medications that lubricate the intestines, such as Mahuang Tongbian Pills or mosapride citrate. In daily life, patients should follow a light, bland diet and avoid spicy or heat-inducing foods.
