Cholesterol helps the body build healthy cells, but elevated levels increase the risk of heart disease. A number of signs will help to determine the critical level of cholesterol independently, the Express edition reported.
According to doctors, most often patients complain of unpleasant pain. For example, pain in the extremities may indicate blockage of blood vessels with cholesterol.
The second sign doctors note is frequent tingling. This indicates an interruption in blood flow in some parts of the body. High cholesterol thickens the blood and causes these sensations.
Pain on the left side of the chest is also a signal of blockage of blood vessels near the heart. Unpleasant sensations can go up to the neck. According to doctors, high cholesterol not only causes chest pain, but also indicates a heart attack.
Another symptom is frequent pain in the back of the head. Cholesterol plaques form in the blood vessels, which can lead to stroke if ignored.
According to doctors, it is possible to normalize blood cholesterol levels through exercise, a healthy diet, lack of stress and sound sleep.
