8 signs of heart disease appear in the eyes

Pravrajya Suruchi

 Yellowish Deposits Around the Eyes (Xanthelasma): Fatty deposits around the eyelids may indicate high cholesterol, a potential risk factor for heart issues.

Blood Vessel Changes in the Retina: Narrowed or irregular blood vessels in the retina can signal cardiovascular problems, including a heart attack risk.

Red Spots in the Eyes (Retinal Hemorrhages): Small red spots may indicate high blood pressure or vascular damage, which are precursors to heart disease.

Pistachios: Containing protein and fiber, pistachios improve metabolism and provide warmth.

Pale or Discolored Eyelids: A pale appearance of the inner eyelids could indicate anemia, which is sometimes associated with heart problems.

Swollen Blood Vessels in the Eyes: Persistent redness or swelling of the blood vessels in the eyes can point to high blood pressure, a heart attack risk.

Corneal Arcus (Gray or White Ring Around the Cornea): This ring, often seen in older adults, might indicate high cholesterol and a heightened heart attack risk.

Sudden Vision Loss or Blind Spots: These can occur due to blood clots or reduced blood supply to the eyes, potentially signaling heart-related issues.
