Coughing with dyspnea and inability to lie down is treated with Minor Green-Blue Dragon Decoction. After taking the Green-Blue Dragon Decoction, if there is excessive salivation, dry mouth, a deep pulse at the cun position, a faint pulse at the chi position, cold extremities, qi surging from the lower abdomen to the chest and throat, numbness in the hands and feet, a flushed face as if intoxicated, and then the heat flows down to the inner thighs, difficulty in urination, and occasional dizziness, administer Poria Cinnamon Twig Five Flavors Liquorice Root Decoction to regulate the surging qi. Once the surging qi subsides but coughing persists with chest fullness, use Poria Cinnamon Twig Five Flavors Liquorice Root Decoction, removing cinnamon twig and adding dried ginger and asarum to treat the cough and fullness. If the cough and fullness cease but thirst returns and the surging qi recurs, it is because asarum and dried ginger are warming herbs, and taking them should induce thirst. If the thirst unexpectedly stops, it indicates thoracic fluid retention. For thoracic fluid retention, dizziness is expected, and dizziness will inevitably lead to vomiting. To stop vomiting, add pinellia to eliminate the water retention. Once the water is expelled and vomiting ceases, if the patient exhibits swelling of the body, add bitter apricot seed as the primary treatment. Under normal circumstances, ephedra should be included, but because the patient experiences numbness, it is omitted. If ephedra is mistakenly administered, it will cause syncope. This is because the patient has blood deficiency, and ephedra disperses yang qi. If the face is hot as if intoxicated, this is due to stomach heat surging upward and scorching the face. Add rhubarb rhizome to purge it.
