High Cholesterol Symptoms and How to Spot Them

High cholesterol or “bad” LDL has no specific symptoms. I know this is exactly what you did not want to hear, but it is the truth. High cholesterol levels cause blockage of your arteries. Here is the thing; the extra cholesterol is deposited in your arteries, forming a plaque. It is this plaque that makes the arteries narrow, with large deposits blocking them completely. Narrow or blocked arteries limit the blood flow to various parts of your body, including your nails. This results in dark lines under your nails. Although high cholesterol is referred to as a “silent condition,” dark lines under your nails is one of the great ways to spot it.
