Causes of Floating Pulse Symptoms

The formation of floating pulse, mostly due to the external evil attack on the surface, the body of Wei Yang Qi resistance to the external evil, the positive qi outside the full, Yang Qi floating over, drums in the surface and cause pulse floating. As contained in “Diagnostic Zong Samadhi”: “Floating for the meridian muscle surface should be, good by the evil attack on the three yang meridian, drumming pulse gas in the outside, so the finger should be floating full.” This indicates the manifestation of increased resistance of the organism to disease. When there is an evil deficiency of the li and blood, and the qi floats outside, the pulse qi cannot be submerged internally, and there is as much floating and sloshing of the essence to defeat it as there is floating and dispersing of the god. As contained in “Diagnostic Zong Sanmai”: “When the disease is prolonged and the pulse is floating, this is a deficiency of the center gas, which cannot be guarded internally.” Therefore, the pulse is floating and weak. This indicates a weakened organism with low resistance and an extremely weakened heart, and is a precursor to the externalization of yang qi. This is an example of the floating main deficiency. Modern medicine points out that floating pulse is mostly seen in the early stage of various acute infectious diseases, and when fever and floating pulse are seen, it may be generally due to the increase in cardiac output, dilation of peripheral blood vessels, decrease in vascular elastic resistance, and increase in radial artery filling degree. If floating pulse and counting pulse appear together, it refers to wind-heat. Equivalent to the external wind-heat cold and so on.
