These changes in your legs may indicate high cholesterol levels
September 16 – NVL. The cardiologist advised to pay attention to certain changes in the legs, which may be the first signs of a serious illness.
Health is perhaps the greatest value a person can have. Unfortunately, the modern rhythm of life leads to the fact that in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we pay little attention to the signals of our body. But a signal heard in time can help maintain health for many years, and sometimes even save lives.
Cardiologist Sami Firuzi advised to pay attention to some signs that indicate high cholesterol levels in your diet. But everyone knows that this leads to the development of atherosclerosis, that is, to the formation of plaques in the walls of the arteries. The danger of this process is that the disease develops almost asymptomatically, and subsequently a so-called “cholesterol plaque” forms.
The specialist explained that there are some symptoms that allow you to notice high cholesterol levels. According to her, signs that are harmless at first glance can be noticed in the legs.
The cardiologist urges everyone not to ignore the following symptoms: hair loss on the legs, slower growth of nails, paler skin color, but at the same time its thickening, as well as frequent numbness and pain in the legs. If you notice at least one symptom, you should immediately consult a specialist and undergo a lipid profile. In most cases, the test will reveal elevated cholesterol levels.
Let us recall that modern medicine has accumulated sufficient experience in the fight against atherosclerosis, but it is important that the disease is not in an advanced state.
