DING Yuanqing's Experience in Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome from Disharmony of Lung and Stomach
This paper summarized the clinical experience of Professor DING Yuanqing in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) based on the theory of lung and stomach disharmony. It is believed that the disharmony of the lung and stomach is the key pathogenesis of OSASH, and the treatment should be regulating and harmonizing the lung and stomach, diffusing and promoting the flow of
qi
. The treatment should be performed according to the differentiated syndromes. It is proposed that for exuberant heat of
yangming
(阳明), the method of clearing heat and draining fire, directing
qi
downward and removing turbidity should be used with
modified
Xiaochengqi Decoction and Xiexin Decoction
(小承气汤合泻心汤). If there is dampness-heat obstructing the center, it is suggested to clear heat and drain dampness, harmonize the stomach and direct counterflow downward with modified
Yinchenhao Decoction
(茵陈蒿汤). For binding of phlegm and stasis, it is suggested to activate blood circulation and remove stasis, resolve phlegm and direct counterflow downward, with modification of
Guizhi Fuling Pill and Banxia Houpu Decoction
(桂枝茯苓丸合半夏厚朴汤). In terms of
qi
deficiency and phlegm obstruction syndrome, the method of supplementing the center and boosting
qi
, resolving phlegm and promoting diuresis can be used, and the modified
Fangji Huangqi Decoction and Houpu Shengjiang Banxia Gancao Renshen Decoction
(防己黄芪汤合厚朴生姜半夏甘草人参汤). For
qi yin
depletion, it is suggested to boost
qi
and nourish
yin
with modified
Shenqi Dihuang Decoction
(参芪地黄汤). Moreover, importance is attached to throat management by using medicinals with the function of soothing and promoting
qi
and blood, and unblocking the throat, such as Shegan (
Rhizoma Belamcandae
),
Beimu
(Bulbus Fritillariae) and vinegar prepared Biejia (
Carapax Trionycis
). At the same time, it is emphasized that OSAHS is difficult to be cured but can be prevented, especially a healthy lifestyle is critical.
