Sometimes the female body, in the literal sense of the word, screams that it has little difficulties, but we do not pay attention to this until it is too late. So that this does not happen, you need to monitor your health. So let's start examining women's health from the pulse.
Normal pulse
The pulse is caused by various circumstances (for example, age, gender, self-awareness, etc.). Natural heart rate indicators are 60-80 beats in 1 minute, moreover, it beats less often in the morning. When you notice that the heart rate has deviated from the norm, do not be afraid, women's indicators are sometimes slightly higher (65-90 beats). However, it will not hurt to consult a specialist.
Blood pressure standards
According to the WHO, normal blood pressure in an adult is 120/80 mm. If your blood pressure is 130/80, this is also the norm. But if your scores are higher than 140/90, then most likely you suffer from hypertension (i.e. high blood pressure).
In addition, with age, normal blood pressure in any person can change. In this regard, WHO has established some standards for changes in blood pressure with age:
- 20-30 years - 116/72 mm Hg
- 30-40 years - 120/75 mm Hg
- 40-50 years - 127/80 mm Hg
- 50-60 years - 137 / 84mm Hg
- 60-70 years - 144 / 85mm Hg
- More than 70 years - 159/85 mm Hg
Normal hormonal background
After 35 years, women need to be tested once a year to monitor hormonal levels. This will help to timely determine the decrease in estrogen that is produced by the ovaries. After all, sometimes women have menopause at the age of 35. In this case, the doctor prescribes hormone replacement therapy - medications that replenish the supply of hormones in the female body.
Timely menopause
The foreshadowing of the onset of menopause are hot flashes, namely the occurrence of sweating, palpitations, sleep disturbances and other unpleasant symptoms. These symptoms first appear about 5 years before the onset of menopause, so watch out!
Medications that replenish hormone levels in the body are a great way to help prevent menopause. But it is worth considering that some pills will not be enough, you need to change your lifestyle. Make it a rule to carry out a daily small exercise, if possible, exclude alcohol and smoking. And also balance your diet and start taking vitamins.
Weight estimation
People around you say that you look great, but do you think that you are a fat woman? Maybe you don't have a lot of weight, but low self-esteem. Let's turn to the WHO (World Health Organization): to estimate weight, the BMI (Body Mass Index) scale is used, taking into account the correspondence of height and weight.
According to the WHO, overweight if BMI is over 25. And below is normal. Less than 20 is underweight. You can find a calculator from your doctor or website to correctly calculate your BMI.
Genitourinary health
With age, the possibility of the appearance of diseases of the genitourinary system greatly increases, in addition, the risk zone extends precisely to women, since their urethra is only 3 cm, and microbes enter the body faster.
In addition, microbes are sometimes transmitted sexually, by certain diseases, as well as from the gastrointestinal tract (for example, staphylococcus, enterococcus, E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
Also, diseases of the genitourinary system in a woman often entail vaginal dryness, and as a result - irritation, itching, discomfort and reluctance to have sexual intercourse. In addition, most women experience less lubrication as menopause approaches. To solve this problem, you can use specialized lubricants.
Systematic menstruation
The main sign of normal health in a woman is systematic menstruation. When the cycle breaks down, you should see a doctor, because sometimes this is the first sign of serious problems. For example, the reproductive system may be impaired.
Another reason for the violation of the cycle can be hormonal imbalance, infection in the pelvic organs, frequent nervous strain and mental instability, taking certain medications.
Excess body hair
Small fluff on the cheeks and above the lips is normal. It's bad when you notice the appearance of extra hairs - this is hypertrichosis. This disease may indicate that you have had a disruption in the hormonal background and increased testosterone. It can also be a consequence of diseases such as polycystic ovary disease, dysfunction of the adrenal glands, and maybe the appearance of a tumor. In this situation, depilatories and wax strips will not help you, it is better to consult a doctor!
Cleanliness of the face
Acne on the face is a natural condition for adolescence. However, when they appear in a woman over 35 years old, this may be a reason for taking tests to check the work of the hormonal and reproductive system. In addition, the appearance of acne at this age may be evidence of problems in the functioning of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.
"Orange peel"
The presence of cellulite in a woman of Balzac's age and older is the norm. When, at this age, the skin of the thighs and buttocks remains as smooth as that of a 16-year-old girl, then there are some problems in the body (of course, this does not apply to professional athletes). Experts are sure that the absence of a small "orange peel" on the body may be the cause of hormonal imbalance.
A survey of medical specialists - dermatologists, general practitioners, dentists, surgeons, psychologists, nutritionists - helped to identify the best indicators of health.
Regular menstrual cycle
Regular menstrual periods (27 to 35 days apart) are a sign of reproductive health. Regular cycles suggest normal ovulation and reflect that hormone levels from the brain to the ovaries are balanced.
Women who have health problems are overweight or underweight, prone to an irregular menstrual cycle.
Problems like these cannot be ignored.
Strong hair and nails
Thick hair and strong, fast-growing nails are signs of good health. Conversely, thinning hair, brittle or cracked nails are signs of nutrient deficiencies such as a lack of iron, vitamin D, and other key vitamins.
Energy
If every morning you get out of bed ready to run to the gym, then your health is in order.
The presence of a disease and deficiencies in vitamins make a person sluggish, deprived of energy and tired.
Emotional stability
Healthy people try to understand the emotional needs of both themselves and others. They are considerate of how others are feeling. When they do something bad, they strive to fix it.
No headaches
Headaches are the result of stress and tension, and this is normal. In a healthy person, they pass quickly. Sometimes migraines or other headaches are not uncommon, but if medications no longer work and other causes have been ruled out, then it makes sense to consider other treatment options, such as botox and surgery, depending on the origin and type of headache.
Good breath
People take good breath for granted. There are no problems yet.
Good breathing is a sign of a healthy person.
Good blood circulation
Even with good circulation, a tingling or numbness sensation can sometimes occur, but this quickly disappears. This can happen while sitting or lying in an uncomfortable position.
However, tingling and numbness can signal nerve compression, often referred to as a pinched nerve. Long-term symptoms should not be ignored as they can indicate a problem that requires a variety of surgical procedures.
Fresh breath
Fresh breath is key to overall health, as most of the immune system occurs in the gut. Fresh breath is an indicator that your gut health is in balance. For example, excessively sweet breath may indicate diabetes, bad breath may be associated with reflux, fishy odor may indicate kidney failure, and sourness may indicate sleep apnea.
Healthy skin
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. The condition of the skin of the face and neck not only reflects a person's genetic characteristics and health, but also reflects the effects of environmental factors. Skin color should be well vascularized, somewhat pink.
Roundness of the face
The roundness of the soft tissues of the face is, as a rule, a sign of health and youth.
During periods of illness, dehydration and malnutrition, the skin loses its natural energy and looks withered.
Clarity of eyes
The eyes can "tell" about the general health and psychological state of a person - whether he is well rested or tired, energetic or depressed. The eyes may be white, clear, bleeding, or yellow, indicating a minor or serious illness.
Body fat percentage is normal
The most important health indicator is body fat percentage. When fat is high, it means that the body stores more adipose tissue than muscle. The amount of body fat affects metabolism, blood sugar, heart rate, energy, and emotional well-being.
No acne
Acne in adult women is a sign of hormonal abnormalities and can also be a sign of polycystic ovary disease.
Adult women with acne and other polycystic ovary symptoms may need hormone therapy.
Proper nutrition
Eating enough vegetables, fruits, whole grains and dairy products is a sign of a good diet.
Healthy gums
Healthy gum tissue is a sign that the body is functioning normally. Healthy gums mean no inflammation and bleeding, normal texture and color.
No food obsession
If a person eats to live, and does not live to eat, then everything is in order. It is important to eat healthy foods in normal amounts.
Seek Help When Needed
It is a sign of a healthy person because it demonstrates that the person knows that vulnerability is actually a sign of strength. Asking for help will help you find a solution instead of making the situation worse because self-esteem or fear prevented you from asking for help.
Pink tongue
A light red or pinkish tint with a thin white bloom is the norm. Any other color or plaque could be a sign of dysfunction or imbalance in the body.

Signs of health:
1) resistance to the action of damaging factors;
2) indicators of growth and development within the average statistical norm;
3) the presence of reserve capabilities of the body;
4) absence of diseases or developmental defects;
5) a high level of moral-volitional and value-motivational attitudes.
1) Adaptation syndrome - a person's ability to mobilize all forces to resist a stress factor.
2) Norm, a standard indicator of health - there is an average statistical value of these parameters for determining age and gender.
3) Availability of reserve capabilities - the value of indicators is higher than the norm.
The norm is defined as the range of optimal functioning of the body. Norm - the average value of the indicator for a given age and gender. Between health and disease, there is a great deal of importance in intermediate health states. Scientists call all intermediate states between health and disease the THIRD state of health. The third state is a state of health when a person is not sick, but not healthy either. Academician I.P. Petlenko calls the third condition a pre-illness. In the third state of health, a person has only a part of the psycho-physiological capabilities released to him by nature. And in the third state of health you can live your whole life. Without realizing oneself in this world. Foreseeing, recognizing and eliminating the third state of health and the human body is the most important task of every individual. For this, every person must be a valeologist and must know about the state of health. Classification of 4 groups of factors damaging health:
1) Risk factors - habits associated with a person's lifestyle that increase the risk of disease. This is a very extensive and practically the only group of health-damaging factors that are completely dependent on the person. Alcohol, toxic and narcotic substances, AIDS, altered body weight. Reduced physical activity.
2) Hereditary, congenital and acquired factors.
3) Violation of the protective and adaptive functions of the human body.
4) Diseases of the century - violations associated with a negative environmental situation and with the rhythm of life of a modern person: Ischemic heart disease,
The fundamental condition for the correction, preservation and increase of health should be high a person's activity in relation to their health.
This requires:
1) To form in your mind a high need for health, as in the leading motive of behavior.
2) It is necessary to set tasks and determine the ways and methods of solving the problems of your health.
3) It is necessary to constantly strive for self-improvement and constantly maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Nature has provided the human body from birth with the ability to self-regulate and maintain life with a large margin of safety. And it depends on him how he will dispose of this gift, i.e. from his lifestyle. If we conditionally take the level of health as 100%, then about 10% depends on medicine, 20% depends on environmental conditions, 20% depends on heredity, and the remaining 50% depends on the person's lifestyle. A way of life is a system of a person's relationship with himself and with factors of the external environment. By relationships, we mean a complex set of human actions and experiences. A healthy lifestyle is the quality and style of life, which refracts a person's vital activity in relation to strengthening his health. Includes labor. Social-cultural, psychological and other human activities. In addition, the mental stability of the body is distinguished. Intellectual and creative development, a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, a friendly family and others. No orders and encouragements will force him to form his healthy lifestyle until the person himself wants it. Motives for a healthy lifestyle:
1) Self-preservation
2) Submission to the rules of culture and life
3) Getting satisfaction from cultivation
4) Opportunity for self-improvement
In accordance with the Charter of the World Health Organization (WHO) under health is understood "A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the absence of disease and physical defects."
Wherein under physical health the current state of the functional capabilities of organs and systems of the body is understood.
Mental healthis considered as a state of the human mental sphere, characterized by general mental comfort, providing adequate regulation of behavior and conditioned by the needs of a biological and social nature.
Social healthunderstood as a system of values, attitudes and motives of behavior in a social environment.
However, the definition of the concept of health given by WHO experts does not reveal the purpose of its preservation and its importance for humans. From the point of view of the target function of health, V.P. Kaznacheev (1975) gives the following definition of this concept: “ Health – it is the process of preserving and developing biological, mental, physiological functions, optimal working capacity and social activity of a person with the maximum duration of his active life ".
Based on this definition, the goal of health is: "to ensure the maximum duration of active life."
The analysis of the existing definitions of the concepts of health made it possible to identify six main signs of health.
1. Normal functioning of the organism at all levels of its organization - cellular, histological, organ, etc. The normal course of physiological and biochemical processes that contribute to individual survival and reproduction.
2. Dynamic balance of the organism, its functions and environmental factors or static balance (homeostasis) of the organism and the environment. The criterion for assessing the balance is the correspondence of the structures and functions of the organism to the surrounding conditions.
3. Ability to fully perform social functions, participation in social activities and socially useful work.
4. The ability of a person to adapt to constantly changing conditions of existence in the environment (adaptation). Health is identified with the concept adaptation, since in order for the system to be preserved, it must change, adapt to the changes taking place in the environment.
5. Absence of diseases, painful conditions and painful changes.
6. Complete physical, spiritual, mental and social well-being, harmonious development of the physical and spiritual forces of the body, the principle of its unity, self-regulation and harmonious interaction of all its organs.
It is believed that health assessment should be carried out in dynamics for each individual person, in accordance with his individual characteristics and current state. Individual health concept reflects the health of a particular person... It is assessed by personal well-being, the presence or absence of diseases, physical condition, etc. For a complete presentation, accounting for individual indicators of human health, eight main groups of indicators of individual health are currently distinguished (table 1), a significant part of them can be expressed quantitatively, which makes it possible to obtain the total value of the level of health, in addition, the dynamics of indicators of individual health will make it possible to judge the state and prospects of the health of a given person.
Table 1
INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INDICATORS
| Genetic | Genotype, absence of dysembryogenesis, hereditary defects |
| Biochemical | Indicators of biological tissues and fluids |
| Metabolic | Metabolic level at rest and after exercise |
| Morphological | The level of physical development, type of constitution (morphotype) |
| Functional | The functional state of organs and systems: -norm of rest -norm of reaction -reserved capabilities, functional type |
| Psychological | Emotional-volitional, mental, intellectual spheres: - dominance of the hemisphere - type of GNI - type of temperament - type of dominant instinct |
| Socio-spiritual | Goals, moral values, ideals, level of aspirations and degree of recognition, etc. |
| Clinical | No signs of illness |
For an individual assessment of the health of children and adolescents, a grouping of children according to health conditions, developed by S. M. Grombakh and others, is used. The group is based on the state of the body's health, assessed by the absence or presence of functional disorders, morphological deviations, chronic diseases and their severity.
Highlighted the following health groups:
Group I - healthy;
Group II - healthy with functional and some morphological
deviations, functional deviations after the transferred diseases, suffering from frequent acute diseases, with moderate visual impairment;
Group III - patients with chronic diseases in a compensated state, as well as children with physical disabilities, significant consequences of injuries, which, however, do not violate adaptability to work and other living conditions;
Group IV - patients with chronic diseases in a subcompensated state that make it difficult to adapt to work and other living conditions;
Group V - patients in a decompensated state, invalids of groups I and II.
To characterize the health status of children and adolescents, the following indicators are taken:
- morbidity by referral is determined by taking into account all cases of diseases per year per 100 examined children and adolescents;
- health index- the proportion of people who did not get sick at all during the year as a percentage of the number of those surveyed;
- the number of frequently ill children during the year. This indicator is defined as the percentage of the ratio of frequently ill children to the number of those surveyed. At the same time, children who have been ill four times or more during the year are considered to be sick;
- pathological affection or soreness- the prevalence of chronic diseases, functional abnormalities as a percentage of the total number of those surveyed. It is revealed as a result of in-depth medical examinations.
Perhaps you will also be interested in an article about population (public) health and disease as a concept.
A huge number of methods are used to assess individual health. Besides measuring respiration and heart rate factors such as state of health, mood, performance, sleep, appetite, the presence of painful sensations.
There are also objective indicators for comparison with a previous condition or with regulatory characteristics:
- height and body weight;
- chest circumference;
- hand dynamometry;
- Body temperature;
- skin coloring and others.
Normally, the male pulse is 70-75 beats per minute, the female - 75-80 beats per minute. Of course, these indicators are very subjective, since a huge number of factors depend on the pulse (number of contractions), whether it is age (the pulse of newborns is 140-150 beats), physical fitness (the average pulse of athletes is 50-55 beats per minute) and many others.
To determine the heart rate at rest and heart rate during exercise, tests are done (for example, 30 squats). The heart rate is measured before and after exercise.
Breath-holding samples (average age 25-30 years):
- over 50 seconds on inhalation - good;
- 40-49 - satisfactory;
- 39 - unsatisfactory.
On exhalation: over 40 seconds - good, 35-40 - satisfactory;
34 or less - unsatisfactory.
The program "On the most important thing" led me to this idea. Unfortunately, I turned on the TV late, and the program was about bags under my eyes. So I decided to search the internet on my own, but how can you diagnose yourself based on external signs (to put it, of course, it sounds loud, but pushing me to think about my well-being will help). And that's what I found. I'll make a reservation right away that something seemed to me not devoid of logic, but something made me laugh! SO:
Some internal diseases have very clear external signs. If, after a careful examination of your body, you see any of the signs described below, then this is a reason to consult a doctor for a more complete examination.
DEFINITION OF DISEASES BY EXTERNAL HUMAN SIGNS.
Let's start with the height of the person
Tall people have developed mental abilities, but they are prone to colds and nervous disorders. Physically and socially active short people often show disorders of the digestive and circulatory systems. People with long and thick arms and legs are mentally strong, they are very flexible socially and intellectually.
You should also pay attention to the shoulders: if a person has unbalanced shoulders (that is, one higher than the other), then the organs located on the side where the shoulder is higher are weaker than those located on the side of the lower shoulder.
Sloping shoulders correspond to the feminine principle, balanced nervous system, active physical and mental activity. People with square shoulders have a courageous character and a lot of physical health.
The activity of a person depends on the length of the legs. People with short legs cannot sit for a long time - they like to walk and stand; information from them is better absorbed, too, while standing. And a long-legged person, on the contrary, cannot stand or walk for a long time, he has a constant desire to sit down.
Special attention should be paid to fingers and toes:
* long fingers speak of a very emotional, receptive and aesthetic nature;
* short fingers - about high resistance to environmental negative factors;
* the index finger is longer than the ring finger - perhaps there is a congenital pathology of the large intestine;
* the index finger is equal in height to the middle and lower than the ring finger - heart or stomach diseases are likely;
* fingers of equal length say that their owner can perform complex manual work;
* fingers, different in length, are characteristic mainly of creative people - these people work not with their hands, but with their heads;
* the flexibility of the fingers is lost - it means that the muscles, arteries and veins have hardened not only in the arms, but throughout the body.
Even by the movements, gestures of a person, one can understand what his health problems are with:
If at walking a person bends his shoulders forward, as if protecting the chest, and throws his head back, and also often clasps his hands in a lock on his stomach, this indicates diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers and gastritis.
A person who constantly fidgets and changes often pose, most likely back problems: intervertebral hernias or osteochondrosis.
A clear picture of the disease in people suffering from joint diseases: arthritis or arthrosis. When walking, they almost do not bend their legs, make very small steps, make efforts to sit down, and even more so to stand up.
If a person tries to barely move head, and even when you need to look to the side, the whole body turns, in combination with pallor - this is talking about severe headaches and migraines. But if the head is tilted slightly to one side, this may be a symptom of inflammation of the cervical muscles (myositis).
The person tries to keep the body straight, and even when bending it does not bend back, but gives forward the whole body. This may be a picture of ankylosing spondylitis.
Uncertain gait and constant search for support are a sign of pressure problems, vascular distortion and dizziness.
A shuffling gait with a low head and shoulders is indicative of deep depression.
If walking gives the impression that a person is stepping on hot coals, most likely they have gout or polyarthritis.
A careful gait with hands pressed to the body, as if the walking person is afraid of touching something, indicates some kind of chronic pain syndrome.
Trembling hands indicate vascular pathology.
And here is even a barely noticeable tremor heads may be a sign of cerebral atherosclerosis or neurological problems.
Too active gestures and a nervous gait, even when a person is absolutely calm, speaks of possible neuroses and psychopathy.
Inhibition of movement, low mobility, stiffness in the hands is the first symptom of a mental disorder.
Hands my hands:
Each finger and toe corresponds to a specific organ and function. Often, the appearance of the fingers reflects the work of these organs.
Fingers:
* thumb - lungs,
* index finger - large intestine,
* middle finger - vitality, heart and reproductive function,
* ring finger - metabolic activity and the release of excess energy from the heart, stomach, intestines,
* little finger - heart and small intestine.
Toes:
* first finger (thumb) - spleen, pancreas,
* second finger - stomach,
* third finger - stomach and duodenum,
* fourth finger - gallbladder,
* the fifth finger is the bladder.
You can determine disruptions in the digestive system using palms: open your palm and press your fingers firmly together - if there are gaps between the fingers, then something is wrong. The presence of warts on the hands also indicates the same ailment. And if you open your palm and feel pain in its center, then we can assume general mental and physical fatigue.
1. Perfectly flat hill of Venus and a large arch on the first bracelet, speak of difficult childbirth. Unfortunately, this sign was 99% confirmed.

10. Very cold tips of fingers and toes - vascular disorder, atherosclerosis.
11. In hypofunction of the thyroid gland, we find, especially in women, a small, greasy hand of white color and soft consistency. The tips of the fingers are usually short and tapered, and the little finger is extremely sharp.

25. People who suffer from harmless or insidious spasms, as well as convulsive conditions, for example, epileptics, at the time of an attack, hide their thumb in a fist, which is an expression of their depressive state. In people with this position of the thumb, there is a general decrease in vitality, these people are depressed and pessimistic, which can cause psychosomatic health disorders.
26. Schizophrenics usually have an abnormally long little finger.
27. Too short a little finger indicates not only infantilism, but also "paranoid" schizophrenics, who are very often underdeveloped also in a sexual sense.
28. In endocrine disorders, the little finger is usually not only too short, but also often sharp.
29. If the hands are continuously cold as ice and white or blue, then in this case the fingertips may be wrinkled and their skin is rough. All this says (if the person does not suffer from cardiovascular diseases), about melancholy, depression, or psychosis. In such cases, the palm is also wet.
30. If the hill of Venus (at the thumb) is medium-sized and smooth, this indicates a short life.
31. A red dot in the cavity between the ring and middle fingers indicates caries.

47. If the color of the hand is "yellow" - it means that the person is sickly and nervous.
48. If the "crescent" on the nails is large or there is none at all, then a person may have an unhealthy heart. It is also necessary to look at the line of the Heart - if it is intermittent, dots or small dashes are visible on it, then this is another confirmation of the disease.
49. There are people whose nails "bloom" - they have white, flower-like dashes on their nails - this means circulatory disorders.

54. A very broad health line indicates poor health.
55. An unhealthy heart is indicated by a broken line of the heart, on which dots or small dashes are visible. This is also evidenced by the line in the form of a chain.

64. If the line of the mind is interrupted, then this involves a head injury or a violation of the nervous system.
76. Narrow nails are a sign of irritability and ambition.

83. A short and flat nail is an organic heart disease.
84. Large size of the crescent - tachycardia.

In general, people with warts, there is a predisposition to the development of tumors, cysts, cancer, diseases of the urinary system.
Eyes
WHAT IS IRIDODIAGNOSTICS?
Iridology (from the Latin "iris" - iris) is an informative examination that complements traditional analyzes. By the iris, one can determine diseases of the spine, stomach, heart, ovaries or prostate, diabetes, asthma, rheumatism, a tendency to schizophrenia, hereditary diseases, assess the strength of immunity, and predict life expectancy. And even if it is impossible to speak for sure about the diagnosis, but it is possible to detect diseases at such early stages, when it is still impossible to diagnose the disease with the usual methods.
WHY DOES THE IRIS DISPLAY DISEASES?
From the course of anatomy, it is known that the eyes are part of the brain. In the body, everything is interconnected, so the state of the internal organs is displayed by the brain in a kind of sign language. The iris is just that part of the eyes, on which the whole chronicle of our health is "written", starting from the very birth.
WHAT DOES EYE COLOR SAY?
If your eyes are light, this means that you have been given strong immunity from birth. In particular, it is easy for blue-eyed people to drink vodka. The roots of this phenomenon go back to hoary antiquity, when the blue-eyed Slavs drank this traditional drink like water, which was genetically passed on to their heirs. Black-eyed and brown-eyed people cannot do that - their liver is weaker. So, by the way, you can recognize the Tatar origin among the owners of mixed eye color: if it becomes bad from 200 g, then the ancestors are from the East.
If the color of the eyes changes, for example, from blue to green, this indicates illness and slagging of the body.
From birth, a different color of eyes, for example, one eye is brown, the other is green - says that their owner is an unbalanced type.
WHAT CAN YOU FIND OUT BY YOUR EYES?
In order to examine your iris, sit in front of the light and take a magnifying glass in one hand, a mirror in the other. Pay attention to:
1. Density of the iris
The dense iris resembles the eye of a child's doll: even, smooth, evenly pigmented, without spots. If the iris is dense in front of our eyes, this is a sign of excellent heredity, endurance, and strong immunity. After illness and surgery, your health is likely to recover quickly and completely. Chances are good that you will live to be 80-85, or maybe 90.
Loose iris speaks of "average" heredity. With great mental and physical stress in such people, nervous breakdowns, excessive irritability, headaches and heartaches, spasms of various organs, depression are possible. But if the rhythm of your life is moderate, if you do not “leave your health to the mercy of fate,” then without any problems you will live to at least 75-80 years.
A very loose iris, in which the fibers are split and there are many "holes", is a sign of weak immunity, a low degree of endurance. Even with minor loads or stresses, nervous breakdowns and the occurrence of diseases are possible. But nevertheless, you have a chance to live to be 70-75 years old.
2. Color drawings
Around the pupil, a yellowish color is a sign of slagging of the intestines, liver, gallbladder.
A white arc along the edge of the iris is a sure sign that you have atherosclerosis. If in the upper part there is atherosclerosis of the cerebral vessels, in the lower part - the vessels of the legs.
Semi-rings or rings passing through the entire surface of the iris, around the pupil, indicate that you are a sensitive person, but holding negative emotions, resentment, tension in yourself. The nervous and cardiovascular systems suffer from this mental stress.
Spots indicate abnormalities in specific organs. In order to determine where the disease "sits", look at the diagram of the projections of the internal organs and try to determine in which organ these spots are located.
GEOGRAPHY OF IRIS
If you break the iris into sectors and imagine it as a clock face, you can see your entire body. For example, on the right iris of the eye
From 11 to 12 o'clock the work of the brain is reflected; in the center of the dial, near the pupil, - stomach and intestines;
From 13 to 15 h - nasopharynx and trachea;
From 4 pm to 5 pm - the spine;
From 17 to 18 hours - the genitourinary system: the ureter of the bladder and kidney;
From 18 to 19 o'clock - appendages;
About 20 hours - liver and gallbladder;
In the middle between 20 and 21 hours - the mammary gland;
From 21 to 22 hours - lungs;
About 22 - thyroid gland;
From 22 to 22.30 h - ear.
The left shell mirrors the right one.
Teary eyes indicate a deficiency of potassium in the body, dilated pupils - about nervousness and anxiety. Redness of the eyes indicates a violation of blood pressure, often intracerebral.
Redness gla h, which appears with fever, indicates prolonged damage to the abdomen.
Bags under the eyes are often a symptom of certain diseases. For example, they may indicate impaired functioning of the kidneys and thyroid gland. Moreover, if bags under the eyes are the result of any disease, then even after recovery they will not go anywhere.
Other signs of illness in a person's appearance:
Double the chin indicates poor digestion.
Plump cheeks usually with indigestion.
If red cheek forms a sharply limited intense red spot on the cheekbones - it means that the lungs begin to collapse.
By complexion:
A bluish-green complexion is a sign of liver disease.
An earthy complexion - in persons suffering from diseases of the stomach, spleen, pancreas.
Pallor of the skin indicates a disease of the large intestine.
A red complexion is more likely to indicate heart disease, while a white complexion is more likely to indicate lung disease.
A reddish tint of the skin of the face and trunk is characteristic of diseases of the heart, pericardium and systems coupled with it.
Blackish tint of the face - with diseases of the kidneys and bladder.
A blue complexion indicates diseases of the stomach and spleen.
A yellow complexion indicates diseases of the liver and gallbladder.
A bloodless complexion with yellowness suggests that the patient has cancer.
Brown red neck indicates an inflammation of the organs of the lower abdomen (if the place where you slide your finger over will immediately take the same color).
Thickened occiput indicates tinnitus, headaches, diseases of the spinal cord, mental disorders.
Redness on the bump breasts indicates inflammation of the head or chest.
. Smell acetone from the mouth indicates liver problems
. Face glitters forehead darkish - signs of a disorder in the hormonal system.
Strong pain in a stomach, hair loss from the head and from the beard indicate that the spleen is sick.
Pigmentation on the face
in a woman after childbirth, it indicates that a woman has a disease of the uterus.
Men with testicles have a dry cough and a hoarse, low voice.
Trembling language indicates a mental disorder.
Consider a language:
Language always bears the imprint of one or another internal organ. And it can tell a lot about the state of health. No wonder they say: the tongue is the mirror of the body.
So bright pink, moist with a thin white coating of mucus and saliva, the tongue says that you are completely healthy.
A red tongue without plaque is the first sign of dehydration.
A pale tongue indicates a slow metabolism.
Grayish purple - indicates a deterioration in blood circulation.
If the tongue is covered with a yellow coating, this is a sign of an upset stomach or other digestive disorders.
It is not for nothing that in oriental medicine language is considered the most sensitive "window of the body", so to speak, a mirror of the body's health. And through it, you can influence the internal organs (heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs).
Please note that 70% of fresh breath depends on the condition of the tongue. And some do not even think about it and look for problems where they do not exist.
By the way, if the tongue often bleeds, it means that the body urgently needs vitamin C, if it is rough, dry and has acquired a purple-red color, there is not enough vitamin B2, blood-cyanotic - vitamin B3.
A healthy person has pink nails... If, when pressing on the patient's nail, the pink color quickly returns, the disease should be treated. Otherwise, the disease is at a dangerous stage.
Black and gray spots on the nail are signs of mercury intoxication.
White spots on the nail are a violation of the nervous system.
Dirty gray nails indicate congenital syphilis.
Bluish or blue nails indicate congenital heart defects.
Yellowish nails indicate some brain damage.
Pale nails are usually associated with anemia.
Pale red nails indicate isolated blood disorders.
Dark brown nails indicate prolonged severe fever.
With yellow nails, liver disease occurs.
Greenish-purulent coloring of nails is usually in case of purulent processes.
So we got to the feet:
Various foot problems can have very unpleasant consequences for any part of the human body. Even mild pain in your foot that makes you walk more slowly can lead to weight gain in your entire body, not to mention poor coordination of movements, which in turn can lead to a fall and fracture. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. You can gain much more knowledge if you study the following information about our feet:
Toenails slightly sunken into the skin, leaving a spoon-like indentation in the toes
What can this talk about? The spoon-like, almost concave dorsum of the ends of the toes, with deeply sunk nails in it, very often speaks of anemia (that is, anemia, or iron deficiency). These signs are especially pronounced in severe cases of anemia. This is usually due to a lack of hemoglobin and iron-rich protein in the blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen. Internal bleeding and heavy menstrual periods in women can also cause anemia.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: unhealthy pallor may appear on the nails and on the terminal phalanges of the fingers (it does not matter - hands or feet). Nails can be too brittle and break frequently. Sometimes a person's feet are cold even in a warm period of time. These are all signs of anemia, as are fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness (even when you are just standing) and headaches.
What to do A complete blood count is required because it is the one that will most accurately diagnose anemia. Examination by a physical therapist will help identify the causes of the disease. The first measures aimed at curing this disease include the introduction of preparations fortified with iron, and a special diet that will allow the body to replenish the lack of iron and vitamin C (which contributes to the faster dissolution of iron in the body).
Lack of hair on the legs and toes
What can this talk about? Poor circulation, which is often caused by vascular disease, can cause hair loss on the legs. For example, when the heart loses its ability to pump enough blood to the most distant parts of the body due to arteriosclerosis (also called hardening of the arteries), the body is forced to independently prioritize. And leg hair is obviously a weak priority, which is why it starts to fall out in the first place.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this disease: Reduced blood circulation is also characterized by the fact that it becomes difficult to find the pulse in the area of the feet (if everything is in order, you can always check your pulse by placing your hand on the inside of the ankle, just above the foot). When a person with poor circulation is standing, their feet darken slightly (or take on a slight reddish color). If he lifts his leg, the foot will immediately turn pale. The skin of such people looks like polished. As a rule, people with poor circulation are already aware of certain problems with their cardiovascular system. They may suffer from all sorts of heart disease and carotid artery disease without being aware of poor circulation.
What should be done? The treatment of the vessels of the lower extremities will help to correct the situation. Although it is extremely rare for hair to grow back on the legs and toes, the treatment is not less effective.
Frequent leg cramps
What can this talk about? Sharp, knife-like pain in the foot - and, in essence, pinching of the muscles - can signal dehydration, or that you have subjected your feet to a lot of physical exertion. If cramping occurs too often, it may indicate that your diet is lacking in foods rich in calcium, potassium, or magnesium. This type of spasm is common in pregnant women in the last three months of pregnancy. This is due to an increase in the volume of circulating blood in the body and at the same time a deterioration in blood flow to the feet.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this disease: spasm (cramps) of the muscles of the feet and legs happens very unexpectedly; as a rule, a person can generally lie in a relaxed state. It can be both single contractions and wave-like rolling spasms that pass gradually. Often, the pain from them can persist for a long time.
What should be done? Try to bend your leg and massage the area where pain is felt. You can also try to relieve tension by placing an ice pack on your leg or by rubbing it with a strong alcohol solution. To prevent cramps, you need to stretch your legs a little before going to bed. A walk in the fresh air will not hurt. Also, drinking a glass of warm milk before bed will add calcium to your body.
Sores on the bottom of the foot that are slow to heal
What can this talk about? This is the main symptom of diabetes. Elevated blood glucose levels damage the nerve endings of the feet. Usually, slight flaking of the skin of the feet, small cuts, or irritations caused by uncomfortable or tight shoes are ignored. If a person does not know that he has diabetes, he also does not pay due attention to these damages. Meanwhile, in his case, this can lead to catastrophic consequences (even to amputation), since in patients with diabetes, such wounds become inflamed very quickly, spreading the infection throughout the body.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this disease: Festering, foul-smelling cuts should alert anyone, as such signs are only possible if these cuts have not healed for a long time. Other signs that may indicate the presence of a disease such as diabetes are constant thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, too much hunger, and weight loss.
What should be done? Any wounds and cuts in your legs should be immediately cleaned up and an appointment with a doctor should be made for a medical examination for diabetes. Diabetics generally need to examine their feet on a daily basis. Elderly people, or very obese people, often find it very difficult to do this, and therefore there must be someone who will help them in this. In addition, diabetics should be monitored regularly by their doctor.
Cold feet
What can this talk about? Very often (more often than men) the weaker sex complains about their cold feet (however, perhaps it is men who complain about the cold feet of their women!). This may mean absolutely nothing, or it may indicate that you have certain thyroid problems. The temperature in the very center of the female body is slightly lower than in the male body, which, in principle, makes them more susceptible to the slightest cold snap (even if they are quite healthy). On the other hand, women over forty who complain of cold feet very often suffer from problems with the thyroid gland, which regulates body temperature and is responsible for metabolic processes in the body (metabolism). In addition, cold feet (in both sexes) can indicate poor blood circulation.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this disease: The symptoms of hypothyroidism (diseases associated with the thyroid gland) are very difficult to diagnose. Sometimes it is very difficult to identify them, since their manifestation is not characterized by any periodicity, or other signs by which they could be easily identified. But you need to know that these can include increased fatigue, depression, weight loss, dry skin.
What should be done? Clothes made from natural materials that retain heat well are perfect in this case. For example, wool socks and insulated shoes. If you still feel discomfort from cold feet, you should see a doctor. Unfortunately, however, the doctor is unlikely to be able to identify any other cause of cold feet, other than problems with the thyroid gland. In all other cases, the only explanation will be the specific temperature balance of your body.
Unpleasant looking, thick, yellow, too straight toenails
What can this talk about? This may indicate that a fungal infection has spread with might and main under the nails. Onyhomiko can develop in this mode for years. Moreover, this can happen absolutely painlessly. By the time it becomes visible, making your toenails look unpleasant, even your fingernails may be infected.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this condition: Nails can often have an unpleasant odor and become dark in color. Diabetics fall under the category of the most vulnerable people who are most susceptible to this infection; people with poor circulation, or people whose body is in a state of immunodeficiency (for example, patients with rheumatoid arthritis). Sometimes, when an elderly person has difficulty walking, this may be due to the fact that his infected nails have become thicker and wider, have grown into the skin, and it has become impossible to cut them without causing severe pain.
What should be done? In this case, it is necessary to be constantly monitored by an appropriate specialist. In the most serious cases, when the usual antifungal agents do not help, the patients are prescribed additional medications for oral administration. In addition, professional removal of neglected skin areas affected by fungus is possible. However, due to the fact that medicine has greatly advanced in this direction in recent years, modern antifungal drugs for internal use are very effective and do not provoke the occurrence of serious side effects (unlike drugs of previous years).
Thumb that is unexpectedly swollen to a frighteningly large size
What can this talk about? Gout is quite possible (a disease caused by metabolic disorders, with a primary lesion of the joints). Yes, no matter how old-fashioned the name of this disease sounds, people still get gout. And not necessarily people of very old age - most of them are not even 65. In essence, gout is a form of arthritis (also called gouty arthritis), which occurs due to an excess of uric acid in the body. Uric acid, which is a natural substance, forms needle crystals, especially at low temperatures. And the lowest temperature in the human body is, of course, in the part farthest from the heart - in the big toes. "If in most cases upon waking you find that the big toe is very swollen and has a bright red color, then this can be regarded as the first signs of gout," explains Jane Andersen, MD, already mentioned above.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: swelling; slick (shiny) or purplish skin, along with a sensation of heat and pain in the lift of the leg, in the Achilles tendon, in the knees and in the elbows. Few people can get gout, although men in their 40s and 50s are more prone to this disease. In women, exacerbation of gout is observed, often after menopause.
What should be done? See your doctor, who will most likely prescribe a special diet for you to control your gout attacks. A good orthopedic specialist will help the patient to relieve pain attacks and restore the functionality of the fingers, if it has been lost.
Loss of sensitivity in both feet
What can this talk about? Lack of sensitivity in the feet, or, conversely, a tingling sensation in the heels may signal the presence of a disease such as peripheral neuropathy. Damage to the peripheral nervous system is not excluded. This is how the body transmits information about disorders from the brain and spinal cord to the corresponding part of the body. Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by many causes, but the two most likely are diabetes and alcohol dependence (now or in the past). In addition, it could be the result of chemotherapy.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this condition: Tingling or burning sensation may also be felt in the hands and may gradually spread to the palms of the hands and down the body (legs). Due to the desensitization that often accompanies this condition, these tingling sensations can be similar to those felt when wearing warm woolen socks on bare feet, or woolen gloves on your hands.
What should be done? It is imperative to consult a doctor so that he can accurately determine the cause of this disease (especially in cases where alcohol is clearly not the cause). In general, peripheral neuropathy is not currently treated, but there are many pain relievers and antidepressants that can relieve pain and relieve symptoms.
Damaged skin between the toes
What can this talk about? About rheumatoid arthritis (an inflammatory disease of the connective tissue with a predominant vascular lesion) or osteoarthritis (arthritis with damage to the articular ends of the bones). These diseases are felt primarily in small joints, such as, for example, the knuckles.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this condition: pain with swollen fingers and their stiffness (loss of mobility). As a rule, in the case of this disease, the pain is symmetrical, that is, it occurs simultaneously in both big toes (or in both index fingers). Rheumatoid arthritis often develops unexpectedly (as opposed to degenerative arthritis); bouts of pain can appear and also disappear suddenly. Women are about four times more likely than men to have this disease.
What should be done? In order to prescribe the correct treatment, in the case of this disease, a detailed examination is always required (however, as in the case of any other joint disease). There are many therapies and medications available to relieve pain and restore joint functionality in rheumatoid arthritis; although the best option is when, thanks to an early diagnosis, it is possible to avoid deformation of the limbs (in this disease, the big toes often begin to grow incorrectly).
Dimpled toenails
What can this talk about? In almost half of cases of psoriasis, people's nails signal the presence of the disease. As a rule, we are talking about a large number of small holes - deep and not very. More than three quarters of people with psoriatic arthritis (a disease similar to psoriasis, but affecting the joints in addition to the skin) also have nails covered with pockmarks and small holes.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: the nails of a sick person also become thicker (moreover, both on the legs and on the hands). They may have a brownish yellowish tint, and may be characterized by orange-pink lesions. The joints of the fingers closer to the nails are covered, as a rule, with dry, red, inflamed skin.
What should be done? Specialist intervention and serious treatment are required. Thanks to the advances in modern medicine, there are now many medicines and techniques that can successfully treat both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. In many cases (especially if the treatment was started in the early stages of the disease), the nails, the skin under and around the nails are restored.
Can't get up on your heels
What can this talk about? A drooping foot (or, as it is also called, a drooping foot) is a phenomenon that occurs when the peroneal nerve is damaged. It is characterized by an inability to raise the foot, which seriously complicates walking. It can also signal certain injuries to the spinal cord - then the problem can be located far from the foot: in the back, forearm, or even in the cervical vertebrae. Often, chemotherapy with certain medications can be the reason why a person is unable to lift their socks while walking, or stand on the back of their feet.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: painful sensations in the feet, and their numbness, are possible, but not necessary. Sometimes the pain spreads upward, affecting the upper thighs, or the lower part of the spine, where the pinched nerve is located, which can be caused, for example, by a spinal hernia. Sometimes a sick person drags his feet while walking, although it has rarely been observed that the disease affects two lower extremities at once.
What should be done? It is necessary to inform the doctor about all unpleasant and alarming symptoms. Sagging feet can be permanent or completely reversible, depending on the cause of the disease and the treatment used.
Dry, flaky skin on the feet
What can this talk about? Dry, flaky skin on your feet should be far more worrying for anyone than dry flaky skin on your hands or even your face. The fact is that this may indicate the presence of epidermophytosis of the feet - a fungal disease in which the skin of the feet, initially dry and flaky, subsequently becomes inflamed and blistered. When these blisters burst, the infection spreads further through the body. This disease is often referred to as "athlete's foot", meaning that it is more likely to catch this infection in places such as the floor of the locker room in the gym, or in the pool.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this condition: The athlete's foot usually begins to appear between the toes. The fungus can then spread to the soles and even to other parts of the body (such as armpits or groin). The affected area is itchy, and due to scratching, the infection spreads very quickly throughout the body.
What should be done? Mild infections can be cured on their own by simply washing your feet more often and wiping them dry. And in the future, we must try to avoid moisture, for which it is necessary to pour a special powder from sweat and odor into shoes and even into socks. If no improvement occurs within two weeks, or, on the contrary, the infection begins to spread further, then you need to consult a doctor who will prescribe other ointments or medications for internal use.
Toes change color
What can this talk about? In cold weather, the so-called Raynaud's phenomenon, or vibration disease (a disease in which the tone of the blood vessels is disturbed) leads to the fact that the toes turn white, then acquire a bluish tint; then they gradually turn red and only then acquire a natural color. For a reason that has not yet been fully understood, periodic spasms of blood vessels occur, which, in fact, cause such a riot of colors.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: in the presence of this disease (Raynaud's phenomenon), a similar "play of colors" can also be observed in other parts of the body. Colors can change nose, fingers, lips, earlobes. They feel cold to the touch, tingling is felt. Women are at greater risk of developing this disease than men, especially those who live in colder climates. Raynaud's phenomenon usually occurs in people under 25 or over 40. Stressful situations can also trigger the onset of this disease.
What should be done? It is necessary to consult with a specialist in order to choose the right drug for vasodilatation. Proper treatment will help eliminate or alleviate the symptoms of the disease.
Severe foot pain when walking
What can this talk about? A fatigue fracture (that is, a fracture of the bones of the foot or, as it is also called, a marching foot), if you do not consult a doctor in time and receive a correct diagnosis, can be the cause of such pain. Discomfort can be felt locally, on the lateral parts of the feet, above the soles; or the whole foot may hurt. These fractures - they happen quite often and unexpectedly - can cause another serious problem. We are talking about osteopenia (violation of osteogenesis), when the density of bone tissue decreases, and, accordingly, its strength. This is most often observed in women after 50 years. Sometimes the cause of this can be malnutrition, vitamin D deficiency, problems with calcium absorption, anorexia.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: very often a person can move for a long time on such feet; while the pain is simply unbearable. However, some people with a high pain threshold may not be aware of these fractures for years, as they rarely see a doctor.
What should be done? Any pain in your feet should make you go to the doctor right away. Of course, if you made a multi-kilometer march for three days on rough terrain and in bad shoes, then the cause of the pain is clear even without a doctor. However, if such pain occurs, for example, in a 55-year-old woman who is mainly engaged in sedentary work, then, of course, an examination of the bones of the feet is required. A conventional X-ray can reveal the cause of such pain, and enable the doctor to prescribe the correct treatment, which, undoubtedly, should help.
Thickening of the terminal phalanges of the toes
What can this talk about? When the terminal phalanges of the toes are significantly thickened, the fingers lose their natural flexibility, acquiring unnatural, we can talk about the presence of the so-called symptom of drumsticks (it is also called the fingers of Hippocrates, since it was the great ancient Greek doctor who first described this phenomenon 2000 years ago). These symptoms can indicate the presence of various chronic lung diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis, or even lung cancer. Also, the causes of the symptom of drumsticks can be heart disease, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (the so-called Crohn's disease), and others.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this disease: the fingers undergo the same changes as the toes. All fingers, or only a few, may be affected.
What should be done? Treatment depends on the underlying causes of the disease. This means that only a doctor can prescribe the treatment. In addition, during the treatment process, it is necessary to regularly observe a specialist so that he can correct his entire course.
Shooting pain in the heels
What can this talk about? Plantar fasciitis (heel spur) is the name for an inflammatory process of connective tissue (fascia) that spreads along the plantar part of the foot. In this case, there is an abnormal tension of the tissue at the site of attachment to the calcaneal tubercle.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this condition: The pain begins in the early morning when you take your first steps and is often worse during the day. Typically, it is concentrated in the heels (one or two), but can also be felt in the top of the foot, or in the back. The reason for this can be strong physical activity - running or jumping, but not only. Sometimes this is observed in those people who walk a lot barefoot; Wears old shoes or light flip-flops people who are rapidly gaining weight can suffer from this; or those who have to walk a lot on small stones.
What should be done? If the pain persists for several weeks, or even gets worse, it is imperative to visit an orthopedic surgeon. Change to shoes with low but firm (supportive) soles for the duration of the treatment. Treatment itself may involve wearing special shoes and taking medications to help relieve inflammation.
BAD SIGNS IN THE SICK.

The most favorable time for surgery is a young month.
An unfavorable time for surgical interventions is the full moon, and especially unfavorable is the first quarter after the full moon.
In order to determine if you have protein in your urine, you need to urinate into an enamel mug, put it on low heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and see if white flakes appear in the urine, then you have kidney problems (protein coagulates when heated).
To determine the presence of sugar in urine, our ancestors did the following. We urinated near the anthill. If there was sugar in the urine, then ants crawled towards it.
Here are some more signs of specific diseases:
1. Signs of diabetes mellitus:
- brown or black pigmentation in the armpits or the back of the neck is a signal that you have a rather high risk of developing diabetes;
Small red dots on the lower leg are a sign of diabetes mellitus;
Dark or bluish spots on the toes are a sign of advanced diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus occurs as a result of a lack of the hormone insulin, as a result of which the glucose content in the blood increases. Diabetes mellitus can lead to vision loss, myocardial infarction, stroke, kidney failure, and even limb amputation. As a rule, diabetes occurs in people who are overweight, so try to get rid of those extra pounds.
2. Dysfunction of the thyroid gland.
If you have very dry, flaky skin, cracked heels and active hair loss, these may be signs of decreased thyroid function - hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism leads to hormonal imbalance. A blood test for thyroid hormones will help clarify the situation.
Sometimes, the signs of thyroid disease do not look like symptoms of a dangerous disease at all, but, on the contrary, like signs of a healthy person. We are talking about the peculiar behavior and appearance of a sick person: he becomes active, more cheerful, his eyes shine, and a perky blush on his face, besides, he loses weight and looks slimmer.
With a closer observation of such a person, it is noted that the shine of his eyes is by no means healthy, and weight loss occurs rapidly and uncontrollably. This occurs as a result of increased thyroid function. Due to the imbalance of hormones secreted by the thyroid gland, diseases of the thyroid gland develop.
Common signs of thyroid disease can be as follows
With an increase in hormone levels: sudden and sudden weight loss, heart palpitations (the cause of tachycardia), tearfulness, hand tremors, excessive sweating, irritability.
With a decrease in the level of hormones: general weakness, rapid fatigue, a decrease in blood pressure, hair loss, slow heartbeat, swelling and increased body weight, dry skin.
The normal functioning of the thyroid gland affects the body's metabolism. When the function of the thyroid gland changes, the metabolism increases or slows down. Thyroid disease is common. In many cases, it proceeds unnoticed by the patient.
A sign of thyroid disease can be a complete change in a person's character and behavior. For reasons unknown to him, he becomes restless, conflicted, aggressive. A person is easily offended, becomes whiny, uncompromising. A person with thyroid disease becomes fussy, it is difficult for him to sit in one place, he is constantly worried about something.
