A 52-year-old woman complained about night sweats and insomnia, that is, she could not sleep, she felt very hot, and when she could sleep, she would be covered with sweat. She also experienced some hot flashes during the day, and sometimes she also sweats a lot. She occasionally feels dizzy.
In the past few years, the patient's illness has been very rare, occurring only every 3 or 4 months. When they do happen, they are also unpredictable: sometimes it is rare, and sometimes more discharges than usual are obvious. She found herself becoming more and more irritated, especially when her time occurred, and also related to her hot flashes.
She also complained that the headache started, especially on the top of her head. She noticed that her mouth seemed to have a bitter taste. The patient also claims that the recent increase in fiber helps her intestines begin to move more slowly and may cause constipation.
Her tongue is reddish and her tongue has a thin white coat. Her pulse is slightly strong and rapid on the right side, and the left side is weak, especially in the kidneys.
