As the saying goes, if there is no disease, early prevention is better than cure; if there is disease, early treatment is better than cure. The key to heart disease prevention and treatment is “early”. So how to detect heart disease in the early stage? That is to observe the signs and symptoms: in addition to the common palpitations, precordial pain and other familiar symptoms, heart disease often has some physical signs and symptoms. If you pay attention to these signs, you will be able to detect them early and treat them early. These physical signs include: 1. Breathing: When doing some light activities or in a quiet state, shortness of breath appears, but not accompanied by coughing and coughing up sputum. This condition is likely to be a sign of left heart insufficiency. 2. Face color: If the face is gray and purple, with indifferent expression, this is a dangerous face in the late stage of heart disease. If the face is dark red, this is a characteristic of rheumatic heart disease and mitral stenosis. If it is pale, it may be a sign of mitral valve incomplete closure. 3, nose: If the nose is hard, this indicates too much fat accumulation in the heart. If the tip of the nose is swollen, it indicates that the heart fat may also be enlarging or the heart lesion is expanding. In addition, a red nose often indicates heart disease. 4, skin: The skin of patients with chronic heart failure and advanced pulmonary heart disease can be dark brown or dark purple, which is related to long-term hypoxia of body tissues and decreased adrenal cortex function. The mucous membrane of the skin and the extremities are cyanotic, which indicates that the heart is deprived of oxygen and the reduced blood proteins in the blood are increased. 5. Ears: Heart patients have varying degrees of tinnitus performance in the early stages. This is because the microvascular power of the inner ear is abnormal, and the inner ear gets an aura signal when the disease has not yet caused a systemic reaction. If you have a coherent fold in your earlobe, it is most likely due to coronary artery sclerosis. 6. Head and neck: If a table tendon extends from the clavicle in the direction of the earlobe, as thick as a pinky finger, it is likely that the right heart is not functioning properly. 7.Shoulder: The weather is obviously fine, but there are bouts of soreness in the left shoulder and the inner side of the left arm, which may be due to coronary heart disease. 8.Hands and feet: The ends of the fingers or toes are obviously thick and the nail surface is raised like a drumstick, which is common in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease or congenital cyanotic heart disease. 9.Lower extremities: edema in the lower extremities of middle-aged and elderly people is often a manifestation of obstructed venous blood return due to cardiac insufficiency. In addition, if the palpitations and shortness of breath from time to time are relieved only by squatting, this is a unique manifestation of violet pincer heart disease. 10, pay attention to chest tightness and panic: I found that many elderly people lack awareness of some of their symptoms, while some young people do not pay much attention to the appearance of symptoms such as chest tightness and panic, and often think that it does not matter, bear with it and pass. It is these thoughts that delay the best treatment time. Please be sure to pay attention to this.
