pulse
Definition
A weak pulse is deep, thin, and forceless, often most apparent on heavier pressure.
Clinical Meaning
It commonly points to qi-blood deficiency, Spleen/Kidney deficiency, or chronic debility.
Pitfall / Exam Tip
When the stem also shows fatigue, spontaneous sweating, pale complexion, or long-term illness, a weak pulse supports deficiency rather than an excess obstruction.
