A pt. with shortness of breath, which becomes worse with exertion, will be expected to have a tongue that is:
- A.
Red
- B.
Purple
- C.
Yellow
- D.
Pale
Correct Answer
D. PaleExplanation
Shortness of breath that worsens with exertion can be a sign of decreased oxygen levels in the body. When oxygen levels are low, the body compensates by constricting blood vessels, including those in the tongue, resulting in a pale appearance. This is because less blood is reaching the tongue, causing it to lose its normal color. Therefore, a pale tongue would be expected in a patient experiencing shortness of breath that worsens with exertion.Rate this question:

- A.
Excess syndrome
- B.
Deficient blood

Correct Answer
C. Deficient yangExplanation
The symptoms described in the question, including a pale complexion, lassitude, cold limbs, and a puffy tongue, are indicative of a deficiency in yang energy.
