WARNING SIGNS OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Generally, high cholesterol levels have no specific signs or symptoms. A blood test is required to identify high cholesterol levels. Here are some warnings I recommend you be cautious of as they might indicate excess cholesterol amounts in the body;

  • Plaque formation in arteries and other blood vessels is characterized by numbness in the legs, feet, pale nails, cases of stroke, and heart attacks.
  • Chest pain
  • Extreme coldness in the lower body
  • Frequent breath shortness
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue feelings
  • Increased blood pressure

I strongly advise you to seek immediate medical help if you experience any of the above symptoms.
