Signs of heart disease written on the face, people with these 8 facial features should pay attention!

If one day, your family and friends ask: Why does your face look different recently?

You must look carefully in the mirror to see if you have become uglier.

Because some "ugliness" may be a distress signal from your body. For example, if you find that your face is swollen and won't go away, it may be a problem with your kidneys or heart; if your face is sallow, it may be a liver and gallbladder disease...

Today, let's talk about what "ugly" changes on the face and body may be heart diseases. After all, the humble workers of today are physically and mentally exhausted by the torture of 996, and the most feared thing is that their hearts stop working before they earn money.

The function of the heart is equivalent to the "engine" of the human body, and all its parts need the engine to pump blood to maintain.

But this seemingly powerful organ is actually very fragile. After long-term use, you may experience palpitations, pain, etc. Some injuries may not give you such obvious symptoms and require careful observation, such as changes in "appearance".

1

Facial edema

If a normal person drinks too much water before going to bed at night, or eats too much salty food at night, his face will be swollen when he wakes up the next morning. But there is no need to worry about this, as long as you pay attention, you will recover.

However, if you still often have edema after paying attention to your diet, you should consider the disease factor. Because edema is related to the pathology of many organs, especially if you find that the skin does not bounce back when you press the swollen area with your hand, this change may indicate a heart problem or a kidney problem. No matter which one it is, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Skin discoloration

Different heart diseases will result in different facial colors.

The skin of patients with chronic heart failure and advanced cor pulmonale may be dark brown or dark purple;

Patients with rheumatic heart disease and mitral stenosis have dark red complexion;

With mitral regurgitation, the patient may appear pale;

Impairment of the heart's pumping function causes hypoxia in the body, which can cause the skin and mucous membranes to turn bluish purple.

3

Xanthoma of eyelid

This mainly appears on the faces of middle-aged and elderly people, that is, small yellow lumps appear around the eyes, also called xanthomas, usually the size of rice grains or soybeans. This is mainly caused by high blood lipids leading to accumulation of subcutaneous fat.

Hyperlipidemia is also an important factor in inducing heart disease, so blood lipid tests should be done in time.

4

Eyes grow "senile rings"

A grayish-white ring grows around the cornea, which is called corneal senile ring. This is a manifestation of the precipitation of triglycerides, cholesterol, etc. in the blood, indicating the possibility of heart disease.

5

Forehead wrinkles

French researchers once found, based on a long-term follow-up study, that people with many and deep forehead wrinkles have a slightly higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than those without wrinkles.

The researchers speculate that the blood vessels in the forehead are very thin and may be more sensitive to plaques, so the deepening and increase of forehead wrinkles may be related to vascular hardening caused by atherosclerosis or plaque accumulation.

6

Nose bridge horizontal lines

A swollen and hard nose tip may indicate that heart fat may be increasing or heart disease is worsening.

If there is a horizontal groove on the bridge of the nose between the nose and the two eyes, a blue vein may appear in severe cases, indicating the possibility of coronary heart disease.

7

Earlobe folds

This also often occurs on the earlobes of middle-aged and elderly people. If a continuous wrinkle appears, it may sometimes appear on one earlobe and sometimes on both earlobes. This mostly indicates that coronary artery sclerosis is more serious.

8

Yellow tongue coating

People with cardiovascular disease have very different tongue coating color and microbial flora from those in healthy people. If they are also accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or even insomnia, dreaminess, and stabbing pain in the precordial area, the possibility of cardiovascular disease should be considered.

If you find the above symptoms when looking in the mirror, you must go to the hospital for examination and receive targeted treatment as soon as possible.

In addition, you can also refer to the acupoints at home and press them more often, which is good for your heart.

Neiguan acupoint, Shenmen acupoint

Long pressing these two acupoints is suitable for daily health care of patients with coronary heart disease, and is also suitable for massage relief during angina attacks.

Location: Neiguan acupoint is located in the center of the horizontal wrinkle near the wrist, about three finger widths upwards, as shown in the picture.

Massage method: first rub the acupoints and then press them, mainly pressing downwards, alternating between left and right. The intensity should be from light to heavy, and the degree should be determined by feeling soreness, numbness, swelling, pain, heat, etc. Perform it once in the morning and afternoon every day, and massage each acupoint for 2 to 3 minutes.

Ximen acupoint

If you suffer from arrhythmia, you can massage this acupoint for daily maintenance.

Location: Approximately at the midpoint between the wrist and elbow creases, between the two tendons.

Massage method: first rub and then press, mainly press downward, alternately left and right. The Ximen acupoint is located deep, so the pressure should be slightly heavier. Perform it once in the morning and afternoon every day, and massage each acupoint for 5 minutes.

Therefore, when humble workers are being beaten and bruised by life, remember to look at yourself in the mirror more often and be nicer to yourself.
