Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in your body and in the foods you eat.
High cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis, where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to plaque buildup, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Here are 5 hidden signs of dangerous cholesterol
Chest Pain: Discomfort or pain in the chest can indicate that cholesterol is blocking arteries, leading to heart problems.
Shortness of Breath: Difficulty in breathing, especially during physical activity, may suggest that your heart is not getting enough oxygen due to blocked arteries.
Fatigue: Unexplained tiredness or fatigue can be a sign of poor circulation caused by high cholesterol.
Numbness or Weakness: Experiencing numbness or weakness in the legs or arms can indicate reduced blood flow due to cholesterol buildup.
High Blood Pressure: Elevated blood pressure can be a sign of cholesterol buildup in the arteries, putting extra strain on the heart.
