论述说:膈气噎塞这种病证,是由于过度忧愁思虑,导致气机郁结不通。肺和胃功能虚弱,气停留在肓膜(指心下膈上的部位),从而在胸膈部形成结滞。因此,气的升降运动受阻而痞塞。喉咙是气上下通行的通道,如果气机阻塞不通,就会导致咽喉噎闷,感觉像有梅核卡住一样,吞咽食物受到妨碍,所以称之为膈气咽喉噎塞。况且肺气向上通达于喉咙,胃脉向外连接于咽嗌(咽喉)。如果能使上下气机升降有序,肺和胃保持平和状态,那么阴阳就能调顺,膈气自然就会消散。

Discourse states: The condition of Ge Qi (Diaphragmatic Qi) with obstruction and choking is caused by excessive worry and overthinking, leading to the stagnation and blockage of Qi mechanism. When the Lung and Stomach are weak, Qi remains in the Huangmo (the area between the heart and diaphragm), forming stagnation in the chest and diaphragm. Consequently, the ascending and descending movements of Qi become obstructed. The throat is the passage for Qi to ascend and descend; if Qi is blocked and cannot flow freely, it results in a sensation of choking and fullness in the throat, resembling a plum pit stuck there, hindering swallowing. Hence, this is termed "Ge Qi with Throat Obstruction." Furthermore, Lung Qi connects upward to the throat, and the Stomach meridian connects outward to the pharynx. If the ascending and descending Qi mechanisms are orderly, and the Lung and Stomach remain in harmony, Yin and Yang will be balanced, and Ge Qi will naturally dissipate.
