Signs of high cholesterol levels
Here are the main signs that the body gives us to indicate high cholesterol levels:
- yellow nails
The accumulation of cholesterol, as mentioned earlier, contributes to the formation of fat deposits. These deposits can end up blocking the arteries, thus limiting blood flow to various parts of the body, including the nails. The nails of those with high cholesterol often have dark lines underneath them that run in the direction of the nail growth.
- Numbness in legs and feet
As the accumulation of fat deposits ends up interrupting the blood flow, sometimes the blood cannot reach the arms and feet. This flow interruption can lead to pain and/or numbness in places lacking in oxygen-rich blood. In addition, cold legs and feet, wounds that do not heal and cramps are also very common characteristics of those with high cholesterol.
- excess sweat
Sweating is a very common symptom of high cholesterol, yet it is largely ignored. If you don't have a fever or flu, you need to be aware of the cause of that sweat.
- peripheral arterial disease
Peripheral vascular disease is a sign of fatty deposits building up on artery walls. This condition can cause discomfort in the hands and feet and affect day-to-day activities. Therefore, it is very important to be attentive.
