There are some warning signs of high cholesterol that is harmful to health, so we will learn regarding these signs, according to the “health” website.
High cholesterol can be the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, physical inactivity, being overweight and obese, or it can be genetic.
Excess plaque deposits in the arteries make them narrow, with large deposits that block them completely. When arteries are clogged, it limits blood flow to several parts of the body, including the nails. This can cause dark lines to appear under your nails, which usually run in the direction of the nail’s growth.
This may be another sign of high cholesterol that indicates the development of plaque in the arteries and other blood vessels.
Interruptions in blood flow can prevent oxygen-rich blood from reaching the arms and feet.
This may cause pain, tingling and discomfort. Other symptoms of high cholesterol in the legs and feet include cold legs or feet, sores that do not heal, and cramps.
Sweating is a commonly overlooked symptom that should sound the alarm if you start to sweat profusely. Especially if you don’t have a fever or flu.
This condition is referred to as the buildup of excess cholesterol in the blood vessels leading to blockages that lead to pain in the extremities. Peripheral arterial disease causes discomfort in the hands and feet and can affect daily activities such as walking and running, affecting your quality of life.
A healthy lifestyle, along with regular exercise and sometimes medication, helps reduce high cholesterol.
