The effect of high cholesterol on the feet
– If you experience muscle cramps while sleeping, there is a possibility that you have peripheral arterial disease, a disease caused by high levels of harmful cholesterol in the blood.
– When cholesterol deposited in the inner walls of peripheral blood vessels impedes the flow of oxygen-laden blood to the legs, the temperature of the lower extremities decreases, causing cold feet.
– If the muscle tension during sleep is accompanied by ulcers that do not heal in the feet, this is evidence that high cholesterol caused peripheral arterial disease.
Decreased blood supply to the feet not only causes them to become cold, but also causes them to turn blue or purple.
If you find the skin of your feet shiny or taut, this is an indication of high cholesterol, especially if you also suffer from slow nail growth.
