脉象沉取即得，即可判断为气病。若脉象沉而滑，则是气滞兼有痰饮。脉象沉至极点则变为伏脉，若兼见涩弱之象，则难以治疗。脉象沉实有力者，适宜用辛散之法；脉象沉弱无力者，适宜用温养之法。
脉象弦大洪数而有火邪者，适宜用苦寒降泄之法；脉象细涩而无神气者，适宜用甘缓之法。

If the pulse is deep upon palpation, it indicates a Qi disorder. If the pulse is deep and slippery, it signifies Qi stagnation accompanied by phlegm-fluid retention. When the pulse is extremely deep, it becomes a hidden (Fu) pulse; if accompanied by choppy and weak qualities, it is difficult to treat. For a deep, solid, and forceful pulse, acrid dispersing methods are appropriate; for a deep, weak, and feeble pulse, warming and nourishing methods are appropriate.
For a string-taut, large, and full pulse indicating fire, bitter descending methods are appropriate; for a fine, choppy pulse lacking spirit, sweet and緩 (soothing/moderating) methods are appropriate.
