[Pulse Type] Surging pulse [hongmai] [Interpretation] A pulse beating like dashing waves with forceful rising and gradual decline, indicating excessive heat. [Comments] 
Excess heat syndromes are rarely difficult to detect, so this pulse type adds little information. The force of the pulse indicates that the condition is pathologically excessive, the gradual decline shows that the syndrome is primarily one of heat (qi excess) rather than fluid excess. The pulse is sometimes described as a "full pulse" indicating the excess condition.
