What are the symptoms of getting angry?

Causes

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "getting angry" is considered to be the result of an imbalance of yin and yang in the human body. When the body is affected by external pathogens or its functions become hyperactive, symptoms of heat syndrome with excess yang and deficiency of yin will appear. It is generally believed that real fire (real heat) is mostly caused by the invasion of fire and heat evil or by a craving for spicy food, while excessive mental stimulation and dysfunction of the internal organs can also cause real fire. Virtual fire (deficient heat) is mostly caused by internal injuries and strain. For example, long-term illness leads to depletion of refined energy and excessive strain, which can lead to internal organ disorders, deficiency of yin and blood and internal heat, and internal heat then turns to virtual fire. The causes of "getting angry" (heat syndrome) can be summarized into five aspects: ① exogenous heat evil; ② cold evil enters the body and turns into heat; ③ excessive emotions, depression turns into heat; ④ improper diet, which turns into heat over time; ⑤ sexual fatigue, robbing the yin essence.

Common severe cases, such as heatstroke, are mostly caused by being in an environment with high temperature, lack of water, and stuffiness for too long. Fever and even coma may occur. It is a typical exogenous heat syndrome. The so-called "getting angry" is usually mild and mostly belongs to the mild symptoms of heat syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, such as red and swollen eyes, erosion at the corners of the mouth, yellow urine, toothache, sore throat, etc., which are not accompanied by systemic heat symptoms. In this case, the endogenous heat is more than the exogenous heat. If you are under great pressure at work or in life, often stay up late, eat spicy food, etc., it is easy to generate internal heat.
