HIGH CHOLESTEROL

WARNING SIGNS OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Stroke

High cholesterol can cause plaque accumulation that risks preventing blood supply to the brain. This may result in stroke. You may notice it through lack of coordination or balance, dizziness, or confusion. Other people may experience headaches, slurring words, and numbness, especially on one body side. It is an emergency case and needs quick action if you have the symptoms.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
