Question
When lying down to sleep, there is no heat on the back, but when sitting or standing, the back becomes hot, and sometimes the heat even spreads to the abdomen. What could be the cause of this?
Answer
According to your description, your symptoms may be due to what traditional Chinese medicine refers to as “Five Heart Distress Heat.” It is recommended that you take Zhibai Dihuang Wan, Gouwei Su, and Vitamin B1 for treatment. Additionally, please note to drink plenty of water and avoid eating spicy foods.
