【论述】所谓肺气喘急，是由于肺肾之气虚弱，受到中焦寒湿阴冷之邪侵袭所致。肺为五脏的华盖（覆盖于其他脏腑之上的保护器官），肾的经脉进入肺中，因此下焦虚损而上焦实盛，导致气道奔迫急促，肺叶高高举起，上焦气机不通畅，出现喘急不能安卧的症状。另外，《内经》中提到水病在下表现为腹部肿大，在上表现为喘息呼叫不能平卧，这是标本俱病的表现。

[Discussion] The condition of lung asthma and rapid breathing (Fei Chuan Qi Ji) is caused by deficiency of Qi in the Lung and Kidney, resulting from invasion by cold-damp Yin pathogens.
