Ear lobe crease and connection to heart disease

[nfcatlady]

I just found out about the POSSIBLE connection between ear lobe creases and heart disease.  I looked at mine yesterday and my left ear lobe has this line they're talking about.  My right lobe is smooth.  I have never taken time to look at my ear lobes ever before!  I'm 57, female, and overweight by 30 lbs. This is such an eye-opener for me (as it should be), and I'm making IMMEDIATE changes in my diet and exercise program.  It's too bad there are so many articles about this.  To me, some articles are scaring people into thinking this crease is a death sentence or something!  As for myself, I'm not losing sleep over it, but it's on my mind. I find that I want to check out my loved ones' lobes also and see if they have this dreaded crease!  However, I won't mention to them why I'm staring at them funny!


This discussion is related to ear lobe crease worries.

This topic comes up every now and then and really, there's no solid medical evidence connecting the two. I have a slight crease on my left earlobe now but that's probably because I'm old and I tend to sleep on my left side. Heck, my whole face is getting "creases." LOL

I have a large crease on my left earlobe caused by flying through a glass door at the age of 11. Maybe if I walk under a few ladders and get some black cats to cross my path, my heart will go back to normal.

Oh, I trod on a lot of cracks in the ground today and guess what
My back is just fine.
