Heart Qi Deficiency, a term in Traditional Chinese Medicine, refers to weakened cardiac function, mainly manifesting in the following aspects:
1. Palpitations: Feeling irregular heartbeat, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, or with a sensation of pauses.
2. Shortness of breath and fatigue: Becoming easily breathless after routine activities, experiencing reduced physical stamina, easy exhaustion, and slow recovery.
3. Chest discomfort: A persistent feeling of chest oppression, which may progress to pain in severe cases.
4. Lethargy and mental fatigue: Difficulty concentrating, memory decline, increased anxiety, frequent dreaming, and decreased sleep quality.
5. Pale complexion: Due to poor circulation, the face may appear lackluster or pale.
6. Weak pulse: The pulse may become feeble and weak.
Heart Qi Deficiency may be related to unhealthy lifestyle habits, chronic fatigue, and high emotional stress. If these symptoms occur, timely medical consultation is advised.
