Physiological Factors: If one often stays up late or is under excessive mental pressure, it may lead to increased excitability of the sympathetic nerves, thus causing symptoms such as body heat and insomnia. Generally, no special treatment is required. One should maintain good daily habits, avoid overexertion, and ensure sufficient sleep time.
Pathological Factors:
1. Yin Deficiency and Excessive Internal Heat: This refers to the condition where the body's yin fluids cannot meet its basic needs, leading to internal heat symptoms. It is usually related to long-term illnesses that damage the kidneys or excessive sexual activity. Due to insufficient body fluids, symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, heat in the palms and feet, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, and forgetfulness may occur. Medications like Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Zhibai Dihuang Pills can be prescribed under a doctor's supervision.
2. Qi and Blood Deficiency: This condition is often caused by improper diet, irregular sleep patterns, and other factors. It can lead to a decline in the function of organs and a decrease in the body's immunity, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, pale complexion, and insomnia. Eating foods that nourish qi and blood, such as donkey-hide gelatin and red dates, can help improve the condition. Additionally, medications like Renshen Guipi Pills and Shiquan Dabuwan can be taken under a doctor's guidance.
Other potential causes include liver stagnation and heat transformation, internal damp-heat, and others, which may also be accompanied by symptoms like poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting. If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical attention should be sought to avoid delaying treatment.
