Discussion: Pneumoconiosis is due to diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis based diseases caused by long-term inhalation of dust. Its prolonged course and the course of time, hard to be cured, seriously harm patients' respiratory and lung tissue, causing the body's respiratory dysfunction, poor immune function, reduced resistance to disease. Leading to frequent respiratory infections, bronchitis, pneumonia; concurrent emphysema, pulmonary heart disease, pulmonary encephalopathy, tuberculosis, lung cancer = belongs in medical lung inflation, consumptive lung, asthma and other syndromes. Chinese medicine believes that the disease is a late outcome from a variety of chronic lung system disorders. Although the disease is in the lung, fundamental in the kidney, often involving the heart and spleen, so that the body's Qi deficiency are hungry, pull easy to complex sense of evils, and complicated by other lame card. Lung gas, Secretary breathing, lung and the owner gas t air stagnation, declared down adverse dam chest tightness, fullness the Keni shortness of breath; lung disease course of time, the poor must renal t kidney failure Qi, abnormal movements, air-reverse chaos t breathlessness and non-renewable gas, moving the Yi Shen; lung disease, and spleen to a cried cough, phlegm lung attending the festival, toward the Lotus, the lungs were gas penetration Xinmaitong line blood, lungs constricted Hao section, the heart Yang to contain no blood. Each node Yongzhi cardiopulmonary dam 0 and phlegm see chest pain, breathlessness, not supine, heart palpitations, surface green lip purple t limb Ling tarsal swelling embolism.
