The heart can be said to be the engine of the human body, and everything in the body needs to be maintained. The heart, while it may seem very tenacious, is actually very fragile. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 20 million arrhythmia patients in China every year, and this data seems terrible, so we need to cherish our heart more and protect its health.
What many people don't know is that before palpitations and precordial pain, the heart may give you some hints, such as it will have a certain impact on your face and skin color, which needs to be paid attention to.
1. Facial puffiness
In life, it may be that we drink too much water before going to bed, or that the meals we ate the day before were salty, both of which can cause puffiness of the face. However, when there is a problem with the heart, not only the face will be swollen, but also some puffiness will occur in other parts of the body. This kind of edema is a kind of edema caused by the accumulation of water in the body's extracellular fluid, which is mostly caused by lesions in some organs of the body.
At this time, you use your hand to press on the puffy area, and the skin will not bounce back immediately like other puffiness. The face shape will change a lot, and the facial muscles will also look very loose, these small details are the areas that need to be paid attention to, which may indicate that there is a problem in the body, so be sure to pay attention.
2. Dull complexion
Generally, the skin of patients with heart disease looks dull, the skin of patients with chronic heart failure and advanced pulmonary heart disease looks even dark brown or dark purple, and the color of the lips also looks dark purple, which is likely to be due to long-term lack of oxygen in body tissues, resulting in cardiopulmonary insufficiency and insufficient blood supply.
If the limbs also appear this kind of blue and purple, it means that the heart is seriously hypoxic, which is a very common phenomenon in heart patients. If you find that you are suffering from this phenomenon, you must seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the best treatment time.
3. The neck becomes thicker
If one day when you are looking in the mirror, you suddenly find that your neck has become thicker, this is not a simple matter, it may be due to your heart problems, because people with relatively thick necks generally have much higher blood pressure than ordinary people, and high blood pressure will cause various heart problems.
Data studies have shown that the neck circumference of men within 39 cm is considered normal, and women within 35 cm are considered normal. If the neck circumference exceeds these two values, it may be that the fat around the respiratory tract has become more. This phenomenon may be a precursor to heart disease, so it is important to pay attention to it.
