Heart Yang Collapsing

In traditional theory, this is an extreme empty pattern involving sudden failure of Heart yang and the Heart's functional relationship with qi, Blood, and circulation. It is a collapse-oriented conceptual label, not a self-assessment tool; urgent symptoms such as severe breath change, heavy sweating, altered consciousness, or cold extremities need qualified assessment.
