Doctors named the three first signs of high cholesterol

High cholesterol is dangerous because it usually has no symptoms. However, early detection of this condition helps prevent serious complications, including heart disease and stroke.

According to experts, elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol most often appears due to an unhealthy lifestyle: excessive consumption of fatty foods, lack of physical activity, and bad habits.

Cardiologists identify three early signals that may indicate a problem:

  • Exacerbation of chronic diseases. Cholesterol can increase in people with diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid disease, as well as chronic inflammatory processes - lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or psoriasis.

  • Chest pain and shortness of breath. These sensations often indicate narrowing or blockage of the arteries. The pain may radiate to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back.

  • Changes in the face and skin. Excess cholesterol can be signaled by xanthomas (fatty deposits under the skin) and the appearance of a corneal arc in the eyes.

Doctors advise not to ignore these signs and to regularly check cholesterol levels, especially for people at risk.
