Signs of a heart attack in the ear
A heart attack not only causes chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, and cold sweats, but there is another symptom that many do not notice, which appears in the ear.
Doctors call this symptom “Frank’s sign”, which is a diagonal crease in the earlobe, which usually occurs with atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries.
Frank’s sign not only detects a heart attack, but also indicates a stroke, and is associated with premature aging and loss of skin fibers and blood vessels.
