Also exuberant heart yáng; heart qì repletion. Heart vexation, insomnia, laughing while dreaming in intense heart fire patterns.

The heart governs the blood and vessels and stores the spirit, and exuberant heart qì manifests in disease patterns of the spirit mind and of the blood and vessels. The Magic Pivot (灵枢 líng shū) states, When heart qì is exuberant, there is dreaming and a tendency to laughing and fear. The Origin and Indicators of Disease (诸病源候论 zhū bìng yuán hòu lùn) states, When heart qì is exuberant, making the spirit superabundant, there is pain in the chest, propping fullness in the rib-side, pain under the rib-side, pain in the anterior chest, back, shoulder blade, armpit, or pain in the inside of the arm, and incessant joy and laughing; this is repletion of heart qì. It is treated by clearing the heart and draining fire.
