5 warning signs of high cholesterol in body

Cholesterol is vital for the body but excess levels can harden arteries, raising heart attack and stroke risks.

Here are five warning signs of high cholesterol you should watch for

Chest discomfort or pain might signal that cholesterol buildup is blocking arteries, potentially leading to heart-related issues.

Difficulty breathing, especially during physical activity, can occur when blocked arteries restrict oxygen flow to the heart.

Reduced blood flow due to cholesterol buildup can lead to numbness or weakness in the arms or legs.

Elevated blood pressure is often linked to cholesterol deposits in the arteries, increasing strain on the heart and overall cardiovascular system.

Feeling unusually tired or fatigued without a clear cause may result from poor circulation caused by high cholesterol levels.
