I've had chronic lung qi deficiency for years and never went to the hospital for a checkup. Recently, I've been feeling discomfort in other parts of my body, so I'd like to ask: what conditions can be caused by long-term lung qi deficiency?

Long-term deficiency of lung qi can lead to symptoms such as high blood lipids, abdominal distension, and irregular menstruation, as well as frequent colds with low-grade fever, increased urine output, and excessive sweating. It may also cause diseases including sinusitis, shortness of breath, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchial asthma. Therefore, when lung qi deficiency occurs, it is important to promptly seek evaluation and treatment at a正规 hospital to prevent the development of further complications.
