Chinese medicine says my pulse is chaotic. What does this mean?

To say that the pulse condition is chaotic without telling the reason is equivalent to not knowing the pulse condition.

There are many kinds of pulse conditions, and 28 kinds are common in clinic. In order to facilitate learning and mastering, 28 pulses are usually divided into several categories. There are various classification methods. The author thinks that we should focus on the pathogenesis of the main disease and combine the pulse condition, which can be divided into eight categories: exterior and interior, cold and heat, deficiency and excess, and qi and blood, which can be called pulse diagnosis.

Eight categories, namely yin and yang, exterior and interior, deficiency and excess, cold and heat, are the dialectical program of all exogenous diseases and internal injuries. Syndrome differentiation of six meridians, triple energizer syndrome differentiation, syndrome differentiation of defending qi and nourishing blood or syndrome differentiation of zang-fu organs can all be summarized by syndrome differentiation of eight categories. The comprehensive classification of eight kinds of pulse conditions is clear and easy to remember, and it can be better applied to the diagnosis of diseases.

The pulse condition varies from person to person and is influenced by climate, environment, mood and other factors. However, complex and changeable pulse conditions always have rules to follow. In order to get a more accurate diagnosis, the key is to determine eight categories of pulse conditions.

The eight pulse conditions are:

1. Superpulse floating.

2. Inner pulse-sinking, choking and squatting.

3. Cold pulse-late, slow, knot and tight.

4. Thermal pulse-quantity, movement, disease and acceleration.

5. Virtual pulse-virtual, weak, slight, scattered, leathery, generational and short.

6. Real pulse-solid, long and smooth.

7. Pulse floods and floods.

8. Blood is thin, sticky and astringent.

The advantage of this classification method is that it is closely combined with pathogenesis and embodies the main differences of various pulse conditions. For example, the exterior pulse is mainly due to exterior disease, while the interior pulse is mainly due to interior disease, and there are obvious differences in position; Cold pulse dominates cold syndrome and heat pulse dominates heat syndrome, which can be distinguished quantitatively; Deficiency pulse dominates positive qi deficiency, while excess pulse dominates evil qi deficiency, and the difference between them in shape and strength is also significant; As for the diseases in which qi pulse governs qi, the diseases in which blood vessels govern blood are common, and they also belong to two kinds of common clinical diseases.

Yin and yang are the general principles of eight-point syndrome differentiation. The same is true for pulse classification. Among the above pulse conditions: exterior-interior, heat, excess and qi pulse always belong to the nature of yang pulse; Internal, cold, deficiency and pulse always belong to the nature of yin pulse.
