Essentials for diagnosis 
(1) Palpitation is persistent or paroxysmal. Elder children often complain of rapid pulsation and loss of self control. The disease may be accompanied by short breath, hypodynamia, chest distress, sigh, listlessness without desire for speaking, etc..

(2) Palpitation is often accompanied by changes of pulse tracings, such as rapid pulse, abrupt pulse, knotted pulse, intermittent pulse and slow pulse.

(3) Auscultation of the heart may indicate changes of the heart rate and (or) rhythm.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
