When your stomach rumbles and your hands and feet are cold, but the tests are normal
When your stomach makes loud noises, your hands and feet are cold, and your belly is hard, it may not be three symptoms but one state. Showing up on a test isn't the same as nothing being wrong. I look at the conditions that don't get captured in a photo.
When Your Upper Belly Feels Stuffed and You Often Get Indigestion but the Endoscopy Is Clean
Many people feel stuffed in the upper belly and get indigestion often, yet their gastroscopy is clean. Rather than whether the stomach lining is eroded, I first look at the rhythm of the nerve that moves the stomach.

Many people whose legs swell and whose body feels heavy every afternoon have normal test results. Rather than the swollen legs, I look first at the flow of circulation by which the body draws water back in.

Normal at home but high at the clinic, and some days it drops sharply. I see this kind of swinging blood pressure differently from 'fixed hypertension.' What has broken is often not the blood vessels but the balance that regulates blood pressure.

Not cold, not hot — the top and bottom going their own ways. The body has a hand that decides where blood goes, and when that hand tilts, this is what it looks like.
Why Not Losing Weight Isn't About Willpower
You can't order your own mind about, and your body isn't much different. A mood lifts when you see someone you're glad to see. The body works the same way — you have to make the conditions.
Why You Still Feel Heavy Even on Blood Pressure Medication
Medication lowers the number, but it does not change the flow in the body that produced that number. How to read the symptoms that remain.
Post-Meal Drowsiness and Chronic Fatigue: A Signal from Your Metabolism
Drowsiness after eating and fatigue that rest won't relieve. I explain this from a viewpoint that sees blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight as a single metabolic flow.
