Sleep apnea
Breathing pauses during sleep and snoring occur due to diseases of the heart and thus exacerbates it. In apnea, the brain loses oxygen, impaired blood circulation and the complicated work of the heart and impair cardiorythm.
Yellow-orange rash
Extremely high levels of triglycerides can cause the appearance on the skin around the finger joints of the hands and feet rash yellow-orange color, similar to small white bumps. The presence of this symptom means that your blood vessels are cholesterol deposits and it is fraught with cardiovascular diseases, particularly stroke.
Weakness in the hands
Weakness in the hands and poor grip may also indicate problems with the heart. Studies show that the high force of the press means a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and low – on the contrary.
Bruising under the nails
Small bruises under the nails, provided that you never hit, can indicate an infection in the heart called endocarditis. The same spots appear in diabetes, which is also a trigger.

Spider veins appear when holesterinove plaque has reached small vessels. In endocarditis and bleeding under the skin can appear on the palms and feet.
Bleeding gums
Experts do not quite understand the connection between gum disease and cardiovascular disease. But studies show that bleeding, swollen or sensitive gums often accompany or provoke heart disease. For example, the presence of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss, increase the risk of stroke. One theory is that bacteria from the gums enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in the heart.
