We all know that yawns are contagious and a sign of fatigue, but what if you seem to be yawning all the time — even during exercise? Excessive yawning may be a symptom of a vasovagal reaction, indicating an underlying condition such as a sleep disorder or heart issue. The research suggests that males with a short or same length ring finger are at greater risk of having a heart attack earlier in life.
Fortunately, a strong correlation has not yet been made for women. You must be logged in to post a comment. Leave a Reply Cancel reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

As of last week my husband was diagnosed with Amyloidosis. He presented with a droopy eye lid and was told he had a mass in the eye. We now know it is behind the eye as well. He had surgery to perform a biopsy thinking it was a lymphoma. The biopsy is inconclusive with the lymphoma as the piece was big enough but big enough to determine Amyloidosis. He went to a dermatologist today for an unrelated skin check, his family members all have had melanoma. The doctor noticed the Franks Crease immediately.
I then explained about the new diagnosis and that we are waiting for a internal medicine appointment. He assured us both that his blood work and heart would be looked at. Amyloidosis does cause heart issues.. Hello Doctor, İ have a question. Which is first occuring.
When The earlobe crease is available but a heart disease is not available what does it mean? My husband just turned 64 and has diabetes 2. His recent dr physical noticed creases on both ears. He drinks beer more than 5 times out of the week, he adds sweets and salty junk food. When he does have dinner, agn he eats sweets and salty snacks every 30 mins.
I know his dr is aware of this. He also has E. No sex for 3 yrs but tried this month for my sake. Now, i hope he changes his ways if he wants to live longer for himself and our family. What can i do to help his diet plan? Thank you, i need a good plan. Its a fully integrated approach that is recommended no one thing alone.
The reality is that personal responsibility is at the center of this. Lifestyle improvement, stopping drugs, no smoking, diabetes control, bp control, follow up and medicines as recommended, exercise, dietary modification with some form of plan considered healthy.
I found I got this in my 20s from wearing very very heavy hooped and dangly earrings. I would like to see the earlobe crease data for people who are cleared with coronal heart disease. I would also like to see if the earlobe crease is more obvious on the side of ear of people more accustom to sleep on.
All creases on face appear closely at the area your face muscles contraction or areas they tended to fold. They come with ageing and with repeat, prolonged folding, squeezing at any part of human body! I have an earlobe crease in my left earlobe that starts from a ear piercing hole and goes almost to the edge of my earlobe. It is not above the piercing towards my ear canal and is not very deep. I have no creases in my right ear. Would this type of crease be consistent with these studies?
Or is a crease in both ears more indicative of a cardiovascular disease correlation? I was an athlete as a kid and still eat like I can get away with anything, unfortunately. I had a stress test a few years ago, due to anxiety attacks, and wanted to check the heart disease box, so to speak. It took the Dr. However, due to my family history and risks weight, former smoker, mild hypertension , this makes me nervous.

I take no medication. I do drink 2 per day, down from 4 per day. Someone should forward this article to a certain person with earlobe creases. His postal address is Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC, and his e-mail is [email protected].
Hello Dr. Thankyou for starting this forum and twitter. I am a health professional and health and wellness coach, and bearer of two creases having two parents who has 4x bypass grafts in their 50s so have been very aware of my risk. Do you happen to notice that people who have the creases have a higher incidence of allergies, autoimmune or inflammatory disease etc.
When I found out about the creases Several years ago I became first scared … then very motivated. I do short cardiac work out for 30 min 5x a week take coq10 and hawthorn and eat a low inflammatory gluten dairy soy free diet as I have multiples food intolerances. I think inflammation is a risk factor I do online research into evidence based lifestyle strategies to reduce and reverse disease for my patients.
I want to better understand the link with collagen or underlying structures and if there are any nutrients that may support that. I recently saw creases in my lobes in the past week, and, looking up the issue came upon this site. I do have a factor or two suggesting heart issues but generally live a healthy life style. Naturally I became concerned and have scheduled an appointment with my physician. However, my stress level has decreased immensely when I realized that the new headphones I have worn the past two weeks is causing the creasing.
I still intend to follow up but a lot less stressed. I believe this. I have been going to funerals since the s when I was a kid and one thing I noticed on many of the deceased back then and now were creased earlobes.
I wondered, even up until a few years ago why I always saw this on the dead? Not all but many of the deceased that I viewed had these creases and it turns out many of them died from heart-related issues. Every part of the body has a purpose. I have always been terrified of dying of heart disease mainly due to the fact that I get multiple ectopic beats. These have been deemed normal. Healthy diet ……very sweet tooth. As far S I know there is no heart disease in my family. I have noticed 2 large creases in each ear lobe and now I am really stressing.
What should I do? Best thing to do is seek regular care, pay attention to risk factors and make modifications where necessary. I was referred to a cardiologist three years ago because of dizzy spells. I have a clearly defined crease on each ear, and I asked him even before he assessed me if this meant I was likely to have coronary problems.
All the tests with ECG etc were good and I think he would normally have stopped there, especially because I also have atrophy of the cerebellum, which could be an explanation for disorientation.
However, partly because of the crease, he then carried out a very detailed scan of my heart and of intra-pulmonary blood pressures, and this revealed that one of the valves was beginning to leak and fail.
The cardiologist told me that it would eventually need replacing but that it was best to monitor the situation for a bit longer, because the operation even today carries significant risk. In the meantime, I do feel myself slowly deteriorating on the dizziness front,and am going for my six-monthly check just after Xmas.
Hi there, My son is 18 and has deep creases on both ears. He is currently taking isotretion for acne. Could there be a link.? I am 50 yo overweight female. I had a calcium heart scan last year and my score was zero. BP is normal. Cholesterol is now, but was last year, taking red yeast rice and CoQ10 brought it in normal range.
I just noticed creases in both ears. Should I talk to my dr about this? I have creases in both ears, have for as long as I am aware. I have calcium score of 2.
I am 63 year old female. I do have ears pierced, like many others, and earrings do sort of sit on the crease, so not sure if they caused the creases. I am on Crestor 5mg and cardiologist suggested Aspirin mg also.
Any opinions as to whether both Crestor and Aspirin are necessary? As I have never had a cardiac event, is use of these meds primary or secondary prevention? My dad had first major heart attack at 37 and was dead at 40 in when i think cardiac events peaked.
Thanks for any replies! DELC has been suggested as a marker of generalized atherosclerosis. It has been already stated that both earlobes and heart are supplied by end arteries where possibility for development of collateral circulation is low.
Histopathology studies of biopsies from earlobe in cases of DELC have reported loss of elastin fibers indicating a generalized microvascular disease and hinting at possibility of similar changes in coronary arteries in the affected individuals.
