THE DOCTOR IS IN:
_______________
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
In answer to Robert M. , in reference to possible heart ailments and/or heart disease. Robert, in Oriental Medicine we practitioners look too many areas of the body for signs and symptoms. Here's some clues that you can use for a reference. We often look in the patients eyes for insight and here are a few suggestions for you to be alert to:
If you have small yellow areas and/or patches around your eyes these may be cholesterol deposits. These deposits are called " xanthelasmata." These yellow spots can indicate a person has a significant risk for heart disease and could possibly signal a fatal heart attack.
Also, if a person experiences a white ring around their pupils, this may be another alert that can or could be an indicator of heart disease. These white rings surrounding the pupil of the eye are commonly known as "corneal arcus". This would be an alert that the person's cholesterol levels are high enough that it may be an indicator of significant heart disease, particularly if the person is under the age of 45 years old.
Another eye indicator of cardiovascular disease would be the blood vessels in the eye. If I were to look into your eye and see blood vessels on your retina that appear gray, brownish or bronze rather than red and their shapes may appear looped and bent and may have sharp edges it would be beneficial to check more in depth for possible diabetes and hypertension problems.
I hope my explanation answers your inquiry.
Remember Robert, I am not prescribing or offering any cure for an ailment. The information offered here is intended for informative information purposes only and any person seeking medical treatment or health advice for a particular ailment should consult their own doctor or a licensed practitioner of their choice.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
