【纲】张仲景说：伤寒病中，热象轻微而四肢厥冷也不严重，仅指尖发凉，神情沉默不想进食，伴有烦躁。过了几天，如果小便通畅且颜色清白，这是体内热邪已除的表现。患者想要进食，说明疾病即将痊愈。如果出现四肢厥冷并伴有呕吐、胸部和胁肋部烦闷胀满的症状，随后必然会出现便血。
【目】吴绶说：治疗胁下疼痛，可加入枳壳、青皮、桔梗、芍药。若胁下感觉坚硬，可加入牡蛎粉。如果有憎恶寒冷、肢体拘急、寒热往来且胸胁胀满的症状，可加入桂枝、白芍。这些药物都加入到小柴胡汤中使用。
魏荔彤说：这里阐述的是邪热轻微、阳气外出，易于升举而得以痊愈的情况。如果小便颜色不白，虽然热象轻微、四肢厥冷程度轻，但仍有烦躁症状存在。日久郁结在体内，无处宣泄，于是导致气机上冲或下注，损伤肝脏之血，以此警示人们不可轻视微弱的热邪。这一条文整体是一篇连贯的文章。
【纲】张仲景说：妇女出现发热恶寒，正值月经来潮，热退后脉象迟缓，身体转凉，胸部胀满如同结胸证的样子，并有胡言乱语（谵语）的症状，应当针刺期门穴。经过催吐或泻下治疗后，脉象微弱，胃脘部痞塞，胁肋疼痛，气向上冲至咽喉，头晕眼花，脉搏跳动时有惊惕感，必定会发展为痿证。经过泻下治疗后，脉象弦紧的，必定两胁拘急挛缩。胁下素有痞块，连及脐旁，疼痛牵引少腹，进入阴筋部位，这种病症名叫脏结，预后不良，属死证。
【目】王肯堂说：左右两侧是阴阳之气运行的道路，胁部属于这一区域。宿存的痞块位于胁部，则阴阳运行的道路不通畅，因此邪气不能传入经络而直接深入脏腑，所以会导致死亡。
【纲】张仲景说：病人手足厥冷，脉象突然变得紧实，这是邪气结聚在胸中，心中胀满且烦躁，饥饿却无法进食，病位在于胸中，应当采用涌吐法治疗，适宜使用瓜蒂散。
【目】吴绶说：治疗胸满多采用涌吐法。实证用瓜蒂散，虚证用人参芦，或者用香苏散送服，用手指探喉引吐也可以。伤寒三四日，病邪已传入少阳经，脉象弦细、口苦、发热且胸满，用小柴胡汤。胸中满闷的，加桔梗、枳壳各二钱以疏通气机。胸胁胀满且烦躁的，加栝蒌实三钱、黄连一钱半。《活人书》治疗胸满，气痞不宽舒的，只用桔梗、枳壳各二钱、生姜五片，名为枳壳汤。凡是心脏上方、胸部所属区域，适宜用枳壳；心脏下方、胃部所属区域，适宜用枳实。因为枳壳能泄降至高之气，枳实能泄降至低之气。栝蒌仁能泄肺，是涤荡胸中痰垢的重要药物，所以胸满且烦躁时必须加入。另一种方法：治疗痞气引起的胸满，用小麦麸一二升，与生枳壳切半同炒至热，去掉枳壳，用布包着麦麸熨烫胸中，冷了再换，这样气容易消散而痊愈。
[Outline] Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Shaoyang disease, if the heat is slight and the cold extremities are mild, with only the fingertips being cold, accompanied by a silent demeanor, anorexia, and irritability. After several days, if urination is free and the urine is clear in color, this indicates that the pathogenic heat has been eliminated. If the patient desires food, it signifies that the disease is about to heal. However, if there are cold extremities accompanied by vomiting, and vexation and fullness in the chest and hypochondrium, hematochezia (blood in stool) will inevitably follow later.
[Commentary] Wu Shou said: To treat pain under the hypochondrium, add Zhiqiao (Bitter Orange Peel), Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), and Shaoyao (Peony Root). If hardness is felt under the hypochondrium, add Muli Powder (Oyster Shell Powder). If there is aversion to cold, limb stiffness, alternating chills and fever, and chest-hypochondriac fullness, add Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and Baishao (White Peony Root). These herbs should all be added to Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction).
Li Shizhen said: This condition is suitable for treatment with Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction), Didang Tang (Eradicate the Stasis Decoction), or Huangqin Shaoyao Tang (Scutellaria and Peony Decoction).
Wei Litong said: This passage elucidates cases where pathogenic heat is slight and yang qi exits, making it easy to rise and recover. If the urine is not clear in color, although the heat is slight and cold extremities are mild, the symptom of irritability persists. Over time, stagnation accumulates internally without release, leading to rebellious qi rushing upward or sinking downward, damaging the blood of the Liver. This serves as a warning not to disregard slight heat. This clause forms a coherent whole.
[Outline] Zhang Zhongjing stated: When a woman presents with fever and aversion to cold during her menstrual flow, and after the fever subsides, the pulse becomes slow, the body cools down, and she exhibits chest fullness resembling Jiechesth (Chest Binding Syndrome) along with delirium (chan yu), one should puncture Qimen (LR14). After emesis or purgation therapy, if the pulse is faint, there is epigastric stuffiness (pi), hypochondriac pain, qi rushing up to the throat, dizziness, and palpitations/tremors in the pulse, Pi syndrome (flaccidity syndrome) will inevitably develop. After purgation, if the pulse is wiry, bilateral hypochondriac stiffness and spasm will occur. If there is a pre-existing mass (pi) under the hypochondrium connected to the side of the umbilicus, with pain radiating to the lower abdomen and entering the genital tendons, this condition is named Zangjie (Organ Knotting), which is fatal.
[Commentary] Wang Kentang said: The left and right sides are the pathways of yin and yang qi. The hypochondrium belongs to this region. A chronic mass located in the hypochondrium obstructs these pathways, preventing pathogenic factors from transmitting through the meridians and causing them to directly enter the zang organs, hence resulting in death.
[Outline] Zhang Zhongjing stated: When patients present with cold extremities and a pulse that suddenly becomes tight, this indicates pathogenic accumulation in the chest. They experience chest fullness and irritability, feel hungry but cannot eat. The pathology lies in the chest, and emetic therapy should be employed. Gouti San (Melon Seed Powder) is appropriate.
[Commentary] Wu Shou said: Emetic therapy is commonly used to treat chest fullness. For excess patterns, use Gouti San; for deficiency patterns, use Ren Shen Lu (Deer Antler Velvet Base) or administer via Xiangsu San (Fragrant Perilla Powder), inducing vomiting by stimulating the throat with fingers. This method is also acceptable. In Shaoyang disease occurring on the third or fourth day, where the pulse is wiry, the mouth tastes bitter, there is fever and chest fullness, use Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). For chest stuffiness, add Jiegeng (Platycodon Root) and Zhiqiao (Bitter Orange Peel), each 2 qian, to promote circulation. For chest-hypochondriac fullness with irritability, add Gualou Shi (Trichosanthes Fruit) 3 qian and Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome) 1.5 qian. *Huoren Shu* treats chest fullness with qi stuffiness and lack of expansion using only Jiegeng (Platycodon Root) and Zhiqiao (Bitter Orange Peel), each 2 qian, and Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) 5 slices, named Zhike Tang (Citrus Aurantium Decoction). Generally, above the heart and in the chest region, Zhike (Zhiqiao) is preferred; below the heart and in the stomach region, Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange) is preferred. Zhike drains qi from the highest regions, while Zhishi drains qi from the lowest regions. Gualou Ren (Trichosanthes Seed) clears the Lungs and is a key herb for cleansing phlegm turbidity from the chest; thus, it must be added when there is chest fullness with irritability. Another method: To treat pi masses causing chest fullness, use 1-2 sheng of wheat bran. Stir-fry it with fresh Zhike cut in half until hot, remove the Zhike, wrap the bran in cloth, and apply warm compresses to the chest. Replace when cool. This allows qi to dissipate easily, leading to recovery.
