High cholesterol is often a harbinger of serious and life-threatening problems, which means it’s important to identify the warning signs.
Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver that has many important health benefits, such as producing hormones and building cell membranes.
High cholesterol means you have a lot of “bad” cholesterol, which is known as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
High cholesterol rarely causes symptoms, although it may show up in your eyes and skin when it does. You can tell if you have it through a blood test.
Here are signs that appear on your skin and eyes that can lead to serious problems, according to the express website.
According to the British Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), very high levels of cholesterol may cause symptoms such as fatty bumps on your skin, called xanthomas.
He adds that you may notice grayish-white rings around the corneas of your eye, called the corneal arch.
“These most often develop in people with familial hypercholesterolemia,” he points out.

He warns that “high blood cholesterol that is not diagnosed or treated can lead to serious problems, such as heart attack and stroke.”
Because high cholesterol levels do not cause any symptoms and in most cases only cause emergency events, it is important to get yourself checked.
The NHS says the main reason behind this is “eating fatty foods, not exercising enough, being overweight, smoking and drinking alcohol”.

The NHS advises: “To reduce your cholesterol, try to reduce fatty foods, especially foods that contain a type of fat called saturated fat.”
The British Heart Foundation says: ‘If your cholesterol level is very high and if lifestyle changes aren’t enough, your doctor may suggest medication. Statins are the main type of medication used to lower cholesterol.’
You should choose unsaturated fats, such as vegetable oils, avocados, nuts and seeds, and the Heart Association notes that oily fish is a good source of healthy unsaturated fats, specifically a type called omega-3 fats.
Exercise is also integral to controlling cholesterol, the NHS explains: “Doing 150 minutes of exercise each week can improve your cholesterol levels.
