Why is your face so red?

The condition of facial skin can well reflect a person's physical health. If a person is healthy, his face will look transparent, shiny and rosy. A dull and lusterless complexion is the result of endocrine imbalance caused by staying up late for a long time. Some people even find that their faces are very dark red, so what disease is the dark red face related to?

To do a good job of maintaining rheumatic heart disease, it is important to observe the patient's words and expressions at ordinary times, which can help us detect the situation early. In addition to the common and well-known symptoms such as palpitations and precordial pain, rheumatic heart disease also has some physical signs. Paying attention to these precursor symptoms can help to detect and treat them early.

These physical signs include:

◆Breathing: Shortness of breath occurs after some light activities or when in a quiet state, but is not accompanied by coughing or sputum. This situation is likely a manifestation of left ventricular dysfunction.

◆Complexion: If the complexion is dark red, it is a characteristic of rheumatic heart disease and mitral valve stenosis. If it is pale, it may be a sign of mitral regurgitation. If the face is grayish and purple and the expression is dull, this is the critical appearance of a person in the late stage of heart disease.

◆Nose: If the nose is hard, it indicates that too much fat has accumulated in the heart. In addition, a red nose often indicates heart disease.

◆Skin: The skin of patients with chronic heart failure and advanced cor pulmonale may be dark brown or dark purple, which is related to long-term hypoxia and decreased adrenal cortex function. The skin, mucous membranes and extremities appear bluish purple, indicating that the heart is lacking oxygen and there is an increase in reduced blood protein in the blood.

◆Ears: Heart patients all have varying degrees of tinnitus in the early stages of the disease. This is because the dynamics of the inner ear's micro-blood vessels are abnormal. Before the disease causes a systemic reaction, the inner ear receives the precursor signal. If your earlobe has a continuous crease, it is most likely caused by coronary artery sclerosis.

◆Head and neck: If there is a protruding tendon extending from the clavicle to the earlobe, as thick as a little finger, it is likely to be right heart failure.

◆Shoulder: The weather is good, but you feel pain in your left shoulder and inner side of your left arm. This may be coronary heart disease.

◆Hands and feet: The tips of the fingers or toes are obviously thicker, and the nail surface is raised like a drumstick, which is common in patients with chronic cor pulmonale or congenital cyanotic heart disease.

◆Lower limbs: Edema of the lower limbs in middle-aged and elderly people is often a manifestation of obstruction of venous blood return caused by heart failure. In addition, if you often experience palpitations and shortness of breath, which can only be relieved by squatting, this is a unique manifestation of cyanotic heart disease.
