Seven images suggest that the heart is abnormal.
Many patients' knowledge of heart disease is limited to palpitation and chest tightness. Usually, they only go to the hospital for examination and treatment when symptoms appear. In this regard, Tang Min, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Fuwai Hospital, China Academy of Medical Sciences, reminded the masses that there are many kinds of heart diseases, and some of them have no obvious symptoms in the early stage. At this time, we should pay more attention to the changes in the body surface.
1. Facial edema: Drinking a lot of water at night or eating too salty will cause facial edema in the morning, but to rule out this situation, we should be alert to the problem of heart disease. At this time, the facial muscles are too loose, and the indentation will be left after pressing, and the skin elasticity is very poor.
2. Purple skin and lips: Clinically, chronic heart failure and chronic hypoxia in patients with late stage of cor pulmonale can cause dark purple or dark brown skin, while patients with mitral stenosis and rheumatic heart disease have dark red skin, and abnormal heart pumping function can cause blue purple skin. In addition, the blue color of lips indicates that heart disease affects blood circulation.
3. Thick fingers: The fingers or toes of patients with congenital cyanotic heart disease and chronic pulmonary heart disease are obviously thick and drumstick-shaped, and the local skin is tight and shiny.
4. xanthoma of eyelid: abnormal lipid metabolism in the body will lead to a yellow lump in the eyelid, which usually indicates that high blood lipid in the body will increase the risk of heart disease.
5. Neck thickening: When a man's neck circumference is more than 39cm or a woman's neck circumference is more than 35cm, you need to be vigilant, which often indicates that blood lipids, blood sugar or blood pressure are high and there is a greater possibility of heart disease.
6. Ear lobe folds: Coronary atherosclerosis in patients with coronary heart disease will affect the blood supply of distal capillaries. At this time, the earlobe is prone to fold or deep groove due to insufficient nutrition, which is called coronal groove clinically. Some data show that the deeper the coronary sulcus, the higher the probability of heart disease.
7. There are tendons in the head and neck: Under normal circumstances, we can't see the blood vessels in the head and neck, but we can touch them. Therefore, the blood vessels in the head and neck are obviously beating, and the blue veins are exposed. We should be alert to the excessive pressure in the neck veins, which indicates the problem of heart disease.
When the heart is bad, press these acupoints, the more you press them, the healthier you will be.
Acupoint massage in traditional Chinese medicine is a very healthy method. Stimulating local meridian points can dredge meridians and regulate yin and yang, which is more beneficial to patients with heart disease.
First of all, angina pectoris is divided into Neiguan and Shenmen.
Patients with heart disease are prone to angina pectoris and other discomfort after physical labor. At this time, pressing Neiguan and Shenmen points can dilate blood vessels, improve the problem of insufficient blood supply to myocardium, and play a role in relieving pain, calming the nerves and protecting the heart.
Neiguan point is located on the inside of forearm, two inches above the wrist transverse striation, and Shenmen point is located in the radial depression of wrist flexor tendon on the ulnar side of wrist. After touching the acupoints with your fingers and abdomen, the patients with heart disease should massage gently first, then press them, and the strength will go from shallow to deep alternately, until slight symptoms of soreness, swelling and heat pain appear locally, preferably once in the morning and evening, and each acupoint lasts for three minutes, which can be used as daily health care for patients with heart disease or first aid operation when angina pectoris occurs.
Secondly, press Lamian Noodles point when arrhythmia occurs.
Qimen point, as one of the main points of pericardium meridian, has the effect of promoting blood circulation and calming the nerves, and has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on heart diseases such as acute angina pectoris and arrhythmia.
Keep your arms straight and palms up. At this time, you can find Qimen point in the five-inch position on the wrist transverse stripe. Generally, Qimen point will be in the center of wrist and elbow stripes. After finding the right acupuncture point, rub it with the tip of your index finger or thumb, and then press it alternately with your left and right hands. Because the acupoints are deep, the pressure can be slightly higher, once in the morning and afternoon, lasting for five minutes each time.
Although there are many kinds of heart disease, if it is not treated in time, it will affect the blood supply to the myocardium and threaten life. Pay attention to your body surface changes in your life, and seek medical advice in time if you find any abnormality.
