Al-Marsad newspaper: A medical study revealed that your nails can tell you about your health condition, specifically if you suffer from high cholesterol.
Warning sign
According to the “Medicover” Hospital in India, black or brown spots on the nails are a warning sign of high cholesterol levels, as this condition results from damage to the small blood vessels located under the nail, and is characterized by the fact that they do not change when pressed, or appear in one or more places under the nail. According to the British newspaper Express.
Black spots
“In most cases, high cholesterol levels can only be diagnosed through a blood test,” the American Academy of Dermatology Association reported. “However, black or reddish-brown spots on the nails are a warning sign that you are at risk for heart disease.”
Heartbeat
She noted: “People can also suffer from other symptoms, such as: high temperature and weak or irregular heartbeat.”
Cholesterol levels
“Peripheral artery disease occurs when high cholesterol levels prevent blood from reaching your kidneys, stomach and extremities with a mark in your fingernails including thick toenails,” she explained.
Healthy nails
She continued: “Healthy nails are smooth and firm in color. If changes occur in your nails, this is a sign of a serious health problem, such as high cholesterol levels, so it is necessary to consult a specialist doctor immediately.”
