"Face reddening and fingers turning blue": Doctor explains how to recognize heart problems by appearance
You can tell if a person has heart problems by looking closely at his appearance.
There are some signs that help doctors quickly understand that a patient needs help.
Dr. Ivan Efremkin spoke about this in more detail, writes Gazeta.Ru.
First of all, as the specialist noted, we are talking about a change in the color of the face. And not from emotions or excitement, but the skin turns red almost always and even during sleep. Such a symptom indicates that a person has hypertension.
The specialist also pointed out the danger of a white or gray circle on the edge of the cornea. This may indicate the premature development of atherosclerosis.
In addition, the cardiologist also mentioned cyanosis or acrocyanosis. In this case, parts of the body turn blue. The legs, arms, fingers, ears or lips may change color. This indicates heart failure.
Paleness, yellow plaques on the skin or cold feet also indicate a problem.
As soon as any signs are detected, you should contact a doctor to prevent dangerous conditions.
