Heat asthma

　　The causes of hot asthma include external invasion or internal injury, leading to lung failure in descending, lung qi rising abnormally, or lung qi losing its function, kidney losing its controlling function, resulting in difficulty in breathing, and even opening the mouth and lifting the shoulders, flaring of the nostrils, unable to lie flat, and other clinical characteristics. In severe cases, it can lead to asthma collapse, a critical condition characterized by asthma. 

　　Severe cases may lead to a critical condition of asthma collapse, which is characterized by rapid breathing. It is abbreviated as 'asthma' and also known as 'asthma reversal' or 'asthma acceleration', which is characterized by rapid breathing, even opening the mouth and lifting the shoulders, flaring of the nostrils. Modern medicine's chronic asthmatic bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, pulmonary heart disease, and so on.

　　It manifests with severe asthma, opening the mouth and lifting the shoulders, flaring of the nostrils, unable to lie flat, and with slight movement, asthma becomes severe and almost fatal. There is palpitation, restlessness, face turns blue, lips turn purple, sweating like pearls, coldness in the limbs, floating and large pulse without root, or even irregular pulse, or even faint pulse.

　　The main symptoms of hot asthma include: shortness of breath, fever, dry mouth and thirst, pale complexion, wheezing sound, etc.
　　Caused by internal phlegm-fire and external wind-cold. 'The Essential Reading of Medicine' Volume 9: 'There is another kind of asthma, which is not like asthma but has a hoarse breathing sound, and it persists. It is mainly due to phlegm-fire being trapped inside and wind-cold being trapped outside, or due to sitting or lying in dampness, or overeating sour and salty foods, or due to accumulated fire steaming, the root of the disease is deep and long, and it is difficult to be cured suddenly.' 'The Treatment of Symptoms and Pulse' Volume 2: 'The symptoms of asthma are short breath, leaning on the shoulders, unable to lie flat, hunching over, and it recurs every six or seven days, and it is light for three or four days, or a month, or half a month. If one is not careful in daily life, the old disease may recur.' The symptoms are acute asthma with phlegm in the throat like a sawing sound, and in severe cases, there may be opening of the mouth, lifting of the shoulders, swelling of the eyes, pale complexion, blue lips and nails, sweating as if shedding. Recurrent attacks can lead to deficiency of internal organs and consumption of true essence. Treatment should focus on tonifying the spleen and kidneys. During an attack, it is advisable to expel evil, regulate the lung qi, and relieve asthma. For those with both deficiency and excess, both tonifying and expelling should be used.

　　To prevent hot asthma, especially for those with poor health, attention should be paid, such as preventing coldness during the Dog Days, eating light and plain food, avoiding spicy foods, and not eating seafood, fatty and greasy foods, and foods that are easy to cause bloating. Fish and shrimp, fatty meat, and the like promote dampness and phlegm; vegetables like chives and sweet potatoes are bloating, which is not good for the宣肺气, and should be eaten less or not at all.

　　Related examinations for hot asthma: chest X-ray, lung examination, pulmonary and pleural inspection, pulmonary and pleural auscultation, pulmonary and pleural percussion, lung function test, lung ventilation imaging. Diagnosis can also be made according to traditional Chinese medicine examination methods.

　　Dietary taboos for patients with hot asthma:
　　The hilsa fish has a mild taste and is sweet. Although it can tonify deficiency and benefit the spleen and lungs, according to the experience of the people and ancient medical experts, hilsa fish belongs to 'expelling substances'. As mentioned in 'The Source of the Materia Medica': 'It can cause scabies and leprosy.' And in 'The Diet and Health Chart': 'All diseases should avoid it, as it can trigger chronic diseases.' Bronchial asthma is exactly one of them. It is a 'deep-seated chronic disease', and it should be avoided in both cold asthma and hot asthma.

　　Yellow catfish, commonly known as yellow spiny catfish. It is mild in nature, sweet in taste, and can tonify the spleen and stomach. However, according to the experience of predecessors, yellow catfish belongs to 'inducing factors'. 'Sui Xi Ju Yin Shi Pu' says it 'induces boils and sores'. 'Ri Yan Ben Cao' also believes that it 'induces wind and Qi, induces boils and scabies, and patients should avoid eating it.' Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease with an underlying root, and 'inducing factors' should all be avoided.

　　Apricot is warm in nature and should not be eaten too much, as it is easy to cause heat in the diaphragm and烦心， deepen internal heat. As 'Ben Cao Yan Yi' said: 'Too much eating can lead to boils and sores and heat in the upper diaphragm.' 'Yin Shi Zhi Xu' also points out: 'Eating too much makes the mind confused, causes heat in the diaphragm and produces phlegm, and agitates chronic diseases.' As can be seen, people with bronchial asthma, especially those with heat asthma, should not eat too much. Otherwise, it may worsen the condition or trigger asthma.

　　Longan meat, commonly known as guilang. It is warm in nature, sweet and greasy, and easy to promote phlegm and fire. 'Yao Pin Hua Yi' warns: 'Longan meat is sweet and promotes fire. If there is fire in the heart and lungs, it should be avoided.' 'Sui Xi Ju Yin Shi Pu' also believes that 'internal depression fire should be avoided.' Therefore, if bronchial asthma belongs to traditional Chinese medicine 'heat asthma', it should be strictly avoided. Chery is hot in nature, sweet in taste. Although it has the effect of invigorating Qi and benefiting the spleen and stomach, according to the experience of ancient physicians, people with bronchial asthma, especially those with heat asthma, should not eat too much to avoid triggering or exacerbating the condition. As Tang. Meng Xun once said: 'People with hidden wind should not eat it, or they will have an attack immediately.' 'Ri Yan Ben Cao' also says: 'Its nature belongs to fire, and it can trigger asthmatic cough.' 'Yin Shi Zhi Xu' also warns: 'People with chronic damp-heat disease and asthma should avoid eating it, as it can worsen the condition and even cause death.'石榴Regardless of sweet or sour pomegranate, its nature is all warm. According to the record in 'Ri Yan Ben Cao': 'Its juice sticks to the diaphragm to form phlegm, damages lung Qi, and patients should avoid eating it.' 'Sui Xi Ju Yin Shi Pu' also points out: 'Eating too much damages the lungs, promotes fire and produces phlegm, which is most harmful to people.' Bronchial asthma has its root in phlegm, and pomegranate 'promotes fire and produces phlegm' or 'sticks to the diaphragm to form phlegm', which is not good for the condition, so it should not be eaten too much.
