Symptoms of high cholesterol in men after 40

Chest Pain (Angina): This discomfort or tightness in the chest can feel like pressure or squeezing. It might occur during activity and improve with rest.

Shortness of Breath: This can happen with or without exertion and could indicate reduced blood flow to the heart.

Leg or Arm Pain: Especially during walking or exercise (peripheral artery disease). This pain can be caused by narrowed arteries in the limbs.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED): While ED has various causes, high cholesterol can contribute to reduced blood flow in the arteries supplying the penis.

Vision Problems: Blurred vision, especially in one eye, or other vision changes could be a sign of narrowed arteries affecting blood flow to the eyes.

Fatigue: This can be a general symptom of many conditions, but persistent fatigue can be linked to reduced circulation caused by high cholesterol.

Family History of Early Heart Disease:  Having a father or brother diagnosed with heart disease before 55, or a mother or sister before 65, increases your risk of high cholesterol.
