What is inside and outside the heart?

A friend had a heart attack and didn't know it at the time. He just has a stomachache. One day, the pain was very serious, so he came to the hospital. Doctors diagnose gastrointestinal perforation and must operate immediately. As we all know, preoperative examination is essential before operation, that is, examination of heart, liver and kidney function. After finishing the electrocardiogram, the doctor was startled. The electrocardiogram showed that the patient had a serious heart disease. The attending physician invited a cardiologist for consultation, and concluded that the patient had a heart attack, myocardial infarction rather than gastrointestinal perforation, but the heart attack showed abdominal pain. In fact, this is the "inside and outside the heart and small intestine" of traditional Chinese medicine.

People often use "heart attack" to describe the seriousness of the problem. Why did the ancients connect the heart with the abdomen? "Heart" is the heart, which corresponds to the heart meridian of Shao Yin's hand and belongs to the interior; "Abdomen" is the small intestine, which is the internal organs, corresponding to the small intestine meridian of the hand sun, belonging to the exterior. "Heart disease" means that the small intestine meridian and the heart meridian are both exterior and interior, and they are a whole. Whoever has a problem is very serious and should not be underestimated.

As an official of the monarch, his heart is innocent, because it is scattered. Therefore, heart disease is likely to be manifested in the small intestine meridian from the beginning. In summer, during the afternoon 1:00-3:00, if you have blushing and chest tightness, you should pay attention to your heart. It's hot in summer, and people have chest tightness, so we must keep in good health and prevent heart disease.
