The appearance of dark circles under the eyes is usually attributed to lack of sleep and lack of oxygen. But there are other reasons for its appearance, some of which are very dangerous.
According to Dr. Tatiana Yugorova, a dermatologist and hair specialist, the appearance of dark circles under the eyes should not be ignored, because they may be caused by a lack of oxygen due to anemia, or problems with the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, bronchial diseases, or in permeable capillaries. The first three conditions are related to insufficient oxygen reaching the body, causing the tissues to turn blue. For example, many people know that problems with the heart and blood vessels, as well as breathing, can be manifested by the blueness of the nasolabial triangle.
Fenestrated capillaries are capillary vessels that contain small holes in the endothelial cells known as fenestrae that actively contribute to the process of gas exchange. Therefore, given that the tissues under the eyes are thin and the blood vessels underneath them are blue, they do not receive the necessary amount of oxygen, which causes dark circles under the eyes to appear. Also, taking some medications, problems with the digestive system, and other factors can cause the appearance of dark circles.
The doctor advises that in order to get rid of these dark circles, it is necessary to consult a doctor to determine the cause of their appearance and treat it. Its appearance can also be alleviated by applying various compresses and special patches to it, which help improve lymphatic flow and reduce tissue swelling. But these procedures give only temporary results and do not cure the problem.
Indications indicating aneurysm disease
According to Professor Vladislav Shavalinov, a specialist in cardiovascular medicine and surgery, facial disfigurement, weakness and impaired speech indicate an aneurysm.
The doctor indicates that an aneurysm (aneurysm) is damage to the wall of the blood vessel, which can lead to its rupture or disintegration of its layers. Cerebral blood vessels are more at risk of developing this disease.
By the way, even young people can contract this disease, and the important thing is to call an ambulance when these symptoms appear.
He says: “These are focal neurological signs. Therefore, they can be different and varied: weak speech, facial deformity, tongue drooping, difference in the size of the pupils of the eyes. For example, a person may stick out his tongue, but it deviates to the right or left. Also, paresthesias of the extremities may occur in One side of the body."
The doctor points out that rupture of blood vessels caused by dilation can occur spontaneously or due to injury. In this case, there is a risk of cerebral infarction or stroke, which may lead to disability. The consequences can be severe: partial paralysis, general paralysis, speech disturbance, and even death.
When does a diet become "unhelpful"?
Diets stimulate metabolism and “change” eating behavior. So the longer you follow a certain diet, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight.
Dr. Galina Turetskaya, a psychologist and specialist in the correction of eating disorders, explains in an interview with Gazeta.Ru why the cause of weight gain is not overeating, but the subconscious.
She says: “The most common cause of excess weight is emotional overeating, that is, the habit of dealing with emotions through food. Overeating and the desire to eat sweet and fatty foods against the background of fears is characteristic of weak, sensitive and insecure people.” themselves, because food in this case is a way to return to childhood serenity, mental comfort, and security.”
To get out of this situation, the doctor recommends abandoning the desire to classify food into “edible” and “inedible.” According to her, there are no products that make you lose or gain weight.
She says: “A person who eats while he is emotionally disturbed has a ‘distorted food compass.’ On the one hand, he likes to eat less healthy foods, and on the other hand, he craves chocolate unbearably due to bad weather conditions or pressure at work. Therefore, to lose weight.” "He has to find a different way to deal with feelings."
An internal ban on showing emotions can be the reason for the inability to lose weight.
She says: "Forbidden feelings turn into 'forbidden' food. No chocolate or potatoes. But behind the food ban there are internal conflicts and deep emotions, sometimes linked to early childhood memories."
According to her, there is a simultaneous relationship between the desire to lose weight and the desire to maintain excess weight. For example, I don't have to worry about my appearance, so I can eat whatever I want. Because excess weight protects against unwanted attention. Internal problems can also be ignored when there is an external problem. This is another reason to follow a crash diet. That is, fighting the “main culprit” – unfulfillment in relationships, career, and income. But this is like a "squirrel running in a wheel."
