Most generally it occurs in connection with lung diseases. Lag-len 276.4. Etiology: The basic causes are the three humours and lymph (chu ser). The contributing factors are: 1) Eating inappropriate foods following a case of diarrhea. 2) Phlebotomy (gtar) or cooling compounds (bsil sbyor) following a fever. 3) Drinking too much water when exhausted. 4) Sleeping in a moist place, etc., where physical heat is weakened. 5) Undigested dhyme stagnating in the liver rather than transforming into other physical constituents. 6) Bad blood diffused in the flesh and skin so that they expand. 7) Pus (chu ser) is scattered by air so that it pervades the body. If skya rbab becomes chronic, it turns to 'or nad. Chronic 'or nad turns to dmu chu. Symptoms: The three general symptoms are 1) General swelling of the body. 2) Shortness of breath. 3) Infrequency of urination. In addition to these, 1) Puffiness of the eyes and face. 2) The side of the body facing downward during sleep. These symptoms are easily recognized by all, yet I have only seen a few who were able to treat it. SRZT 35 ff.

SRZT 90: Contributing causes are 'hot' and 'cold' classified disorders due to 'worms' (srin bu) and disagreeable diet. Although there are many types, they may all be placed in the categories of 'hot,' 'cold,' 'worm,' and 'infectious' glang thabs. Whenever there is pain below the upper opening of the stomach (lhen sne), it is "stomach glang thabs." If below the navel, it is "intestinal glang thabs." If in the vicinity of the navel, it is "abdominal glang thabs." If on the right side, it is "blood glang thabs." If on the left side, it is "worm glang thabs." If in the middle it is called "tsampa (parched barley flour) glang thabs." If there is jumpiness, lethargy and sweating, it is "hot glang thabs (caused by 'heat disorders'). Without the jumpiness and lethargy, it is "cold glang thabs (from 'cold disorders'). When it is caused by too much milk or sweet foods, the pains are like a hot piercing or as if wound up in a ball. When there is much jumpiness and lethargy, and one cannot bear to stand up, it is 'worm glang thabs." When it feels like a knife is stirring around in the stomach and intestines, it is 'infectious lhan thabs.
