A feeling of oppression set in her chest and mid-back as if a heavy weight were pressing down on her lungs. It was difficult to draw a breath, and when she did, it felt as if she were having stuck and heavy sensations.

I prescribed her Jupi Dahuang Poxiao Tang: Jupi 6g, Dahuang 4g, and Mangxiao 4g. After taking just one portion, she started to feel relieved immediately. I asked her to complete taking the whole portion. I also prescribed her the same formula of three-day portions so that she will not develop the same condition in the future.
