One of the unusual symptoms of the problem is Hippocratic fingers.
Doctor Anna Korenevich spoke about this, reports Lenta.ru .
As the specialist explained, in this case, the phalanges of the fingers become thicker, begin to resemble drumsticks, and the nails become convex and round.
The cardiologist explained that such symptoms are more often seen in middle-aged men who smoke a lot and suffer from chronic heart or lung diseases.
The specialist also explained why this symptom appears.
As the doctor noted, the whole point is that the body redistributes oxygen in such a way that it directs more of it to the brain, heart, internal organs, but at the same time peripheral tissues, for example, fingers, do not receive the necessary amount of oxygen.
It is for this reason that they begin to look different.
