Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency Syndrome

Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency Syndrome

Question: Female, 26 years old: I feel extremely short of breath, even when lying down I can’t catch my breath. The sides of my tongue are slightly black, and the tongue seems a bit swollen. There are four or five bumps at the base of the tongue, the tongue body is red with thick white coating, my palms and soles feel hot, my bowel movements are uncomfortable, my lower back feels sore, my ribs feel bloated, I’m dizzy, my eyes are dry and blurry, my legs feel weak, I’m fatigued, and I also feel nauseous. My hands go numb when I sleep, my menstrual flow is light, and all my tests come back normal. Could you please tell me what’s wrong with me?

Answer: You have a liver and kidney yin deficiency syndrome, where yin deficiency leads to excess fire. First, you should check for cholecystitis, then look for adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or menstrual irregularities. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can begin treatment.
