Dr. He Haochen
Symptoms of insufficient qi and blood mainly include several aspects. 1. Patients may exhibit a sallow or pale complexion, due to inadequate blood supply to the face caused by deficiency of qi and blood. 2. Dizziness and tinnitus are also common symptoms, resulting from impaired normal blood supply to the brain, leading to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. 3. Patients may experience fatigue, cold intolerance, and cold limbs, as insufficient qi and blood lead to poor systemic circulation and lack of energy in the body. 4. Mental symptoms such as insomnia, vivid dreams, poor memory, and palpitations may also occur, reflecting the impact of qi and blood deficiency on the mind and spirit. 5. Coarse skin and dry, brittle hair are additional external manifestations of qi and blood deficiency. These symptoms indicate that deficiency of qi and blood not only affects physical health but also influences mental well-being and appearance.
