What symptoms indicate a bad heart?
Facial edema
If you drink too much water before going to bed, or eat too salty dinner, you will have facial edema, which is only temporary. Adjusting diet can improve. Excluding the above factors, if the face is swollen, the muscle tissue is slack, the fingers are slightly indented, and the skin at the indentation can't bounce up for a long time, you should be alert to heart problems at this time.
Lip purple
Lips are the external expression of the heart. Under normal circumstances, the lips are ruddy and shiny. If the color of lips suddenly darkens or turns blue-purple, you need to go to the hospital for a heart function check in time, which is generally related to poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can easily lead to anemia, heart disease and even stroke.
sweat profusely
Sudden unexplained sweating, and can not find the exact reason, need to be alert to heart problems. Because the cardiac output is greatly reduced, coupled with the excitement of sympathetic nerves, it leads to sweating.
Pulse attenuation
Usually the number of beats per minute of the pulse is the number of beats per minute of the heart. Therefore, we can know whether the heart is healthy by pulse beating. Under normal circumstances, the pulse beats regularly, 60 ~ 100 times per minute. If the pulse rate weakens or slows down, it means there is something wrong with the heart.
The elasticity of thenar becomes weak.
Open your palm, and the most prominent part under your thumb is the thenar. Under normal circumstances, the thenar is full and elastic. But the thenar of a person with a bad heart is slack and inelastic. Press the thenar with your thumb and raise your hand. If the rebound speed is slow, it means that the cardiovascular system is not functioning well.
Very painful
People with bad hearts have a high probability of myocardial infarction. When myocardial infarction comes, the body will have unexplained pain, such as severe toothache. No matter how many painkillers you take, they have no effect. You should pay attention to cardiogenic toothache. In addition, the pain caused by myocardial infarction may radiate to the throat and neck, causing sore throat and dyspnea. In addition, the pain may spread to the whole abdomen and chest, leading to abdominal pain and chest pain.
Erectile dysfunction
Judging whether the cardiovascular system is healthy by erectile function, because penile erection is the result of penile congestion, only by getting enough blood supply can it be erected smoothly. Studies have shown that two-thirds of men with heart disease are accompanied by erectile dysfunction to varying degrees. If the male penis can't erect, go to the urology department first; If you have high-risk factors such as hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension, you need to go to the cardiology department for a comprehensive examination.
Mandibular pain
The typical symptoms of angina pectoris are tenderness behind the sternum, a feeling of oppression in the chest, obvious chest tightness or burning sensation. Sometimes the pain will radiate to the shoulders, back, chin and arms, so pay attention to the unexplained pain in the body.
How to maintain the heart? Taking part in aerobic exercise, such as swimming or jogging, can improve cardiopulmonary function and keep the heart in the best condition. Persistent excessive pressure will lead to high blood pressure, damage the arterial wall and increase the burden on the heart. Therefore, when the pressure is too high, we should pay more attention to rest and actively decompress. Control blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar, and keep them stable. Control daily total calorie intake, actively control weight, especially lose abdominal fat. Eat deep-sea fish 2~3 times a week, and the omega-3 contained in it can protect the heart and reduce the risk of heart disease.
skill
In fact, the heart is a very fragile organ. No matter what age, people should protect their hearts, actively quit the bad habit of smoking and drinking, ensure adequate sleep, and don't make their bodies too tired. Chinese medicine believes that red can enter the heart meridian, so it is advisable to eat more red beans or cherries, which can achieve the effect of tonifying qi and blood and promoting cardiovascular health.
