Earlobe crease and heart disease

[nickie420me]

Has anyone read or heard about a diagonal earlobe crease being associated with heart disease? I saw this on the news the other day and realized I have the creases on both earlobes! Needless to say with the symptoms I've had for a year and a half I'm really freaking out! Does anyone else have these creases on their earlobes?!

If creases on your earlobes mean you'll have heart disease everybody's earlobes would be checked at birth. But they're not, neither are these creases accepted by heart specialists as a warning sign for heart disease.

And how could the condition of your heart actully cause creases anywhere on your body. It just doesn't make sense. So stop stressing and worrying, you're fine - like the doctors who have examined you have told you.

Ok this is a freaky anecdotal observation in the medical community.

It has been called an old wives tale for generations.

What the medical community has reported is that folks who come in with heart disease, have the lines.

But not everyone with the lines has heart disease.

Wrap your head around that one.

Both of my folks have had heart disease and they both had the lines.

I have the lines............
