High cholesterol is an affectation that many people fear. When cholesterol is at high levels, the person cannot reverse the result. However, there are some symptoms that indicate the exaggerated level of this; when these appear, the person can become alert and pay more attention to the necessary health care.
Cholesterol is one of the markers that is evaluated in routine tests because presenting high values is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In Argentina, for example, almost three out of 10 adults have high cholesterol. And globally, the indices are replicated.
The recommended measures to lower it include a healthy diet, exercise and drugs (if necessary).
But above all, all adults must be attentive to the symptoms that the body itself reveals when the levels begin to rise. These are the most common and important:
Swelling and numbness in extremities
Swelling and numbness in the extremities is one of the initial symptoms of high cholesterol. This reaction occurs because the accumulated lipids prevent optimal circulation, thus reducing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.
Bad breath or halitosis is a very common sign in patients who may be having cholesterol problems. Since this substance is secreted in the liver, its excessive accumulation hinders digestion, which is manifested by dryness and unpleasant odors in the mouth.
Stomach heaviness and indigestion
The Mayo Clinic reported that “excess lipids in the blood and liver affects metabolism and prevents the development of the digestive process in a normal way, especially when eating foods with high fat content.” For this reason, high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and total cholesterol usually lead to continuous episodes of indigestion and heaviness.
Dizziness and headaches
As cholesterol is deposited in the arteries, the circulation is increasingly affected and, therefore, the Cellular oxygenation is disrupted. This is manifested by continuous dizziness, loss of balance and severe tension headaches.
It is common for patients with high LDL cholesterol levels to have a yellow bulge in the eyes, irritation, and blurred vision.
The accumulation of lipids in the arteries affects the digestive process. In other words, since intestinal motility decreases, episodes of constipation may appear.
“Chest pain is a very easy symptom to identify. It is almost always a reason for immediate medical consultation”, this was announced by the portal nuticionyfarmacia.com. Although there are many diseases associated with its appearance, most cases have to do with the effects of high LDL cholesterol.
