5 indicators your cholesterol levels might be high

Here are five indicators that your cholesterol levels might be high

High cholesterol clogs up your heart's blood pipes, causing chest pain (angina) and weird heartbeats (palpitations) because less blood gets through

Chest Pain or Heart Palpitations

These are called xanthomas and can appear as yellowish patches or bumps on the skin.

Yellowish Deposits

High cholesterol can affect circulation, reducing the supply of oxygen-rich blood to your muscles and tissues.

Fatigue or Weakness

Narrowed arteries due to high cholesterol can lead to poor blood flow to the brain, causing headaches, particularly migraines.

Frequent Headaches

High cholesterol can block the lung blood pipes, making it hard to breathe, especially when you're active.

Difficulty Breathing or Shortness of Breath

Paying attention to these indicators and getting regular cholesterol checks can help you manage your cholesterol levels
