A sign when walking warns of high cholesterol

November 10, 2022 2:53 pm

It is known that high blood cholesterol can lead to a number of negative side effects, including an increased risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

And as reported by the British newspaper “The Sun”, cholesterol is originally necessary to build healthy cells, adding: “The problem is that it appears and its levels rise in the body without obvious symptoms, even if its effects are harmful to health. “

A blood test is the only way to know your exact cholesterol level.

Health experts say high levels of cholesterol can build up in the “walls” of your arteries and reduce blood flow to your heart, which increases blood clot formation or heart and circulatory problems. According to SkyNews.

They explained that high cholesterol levels can cause a person to feel a “pink” in their legs, known as “peripheral artery disease.”

Peripheral arterial disease is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the legs.

When this disease occurs, the legs often do not get enough blood to meet their needs, which causes pain in the legs when walking (claudication).

Experts said this pain is noticeable, whether it’s when you walk, run, exercise, or climb stairs.
