Causes of High Cholesterol
High cholesterol can result from several factors, including obesity, a diet high in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), psychological issues, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Signs and Symptoms of High Cholesterol
High cholesterol is often referred to as a "silent killer" because it typically shows no symptoms in its early stages.
Over time, however, elevated cholesterol levels may lead to symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, headaches, pain in the calf muscles, and difficulty walking briskly.
Risk Factors and When to Consult a Doctor
High cholesterol increases the risk of blood clots, plaque buildup, narrowing of the arteries, vessel blockages, and even heart attacks.
If your cholesterol level is high, it is essential to follow your doctor's treatment plan and guidelines closely.
