High Cholesterol Symptoms
High cholesterol symptoms are not noticeable.We often go by the symptoms: no symptoms, no problem. The problem is high cholesterol produces no symptoms (in most cases). And this is why cholesterol is often referred to as a silent killer.
Folks often get scared to death when they learn from lab tests what is going on in their arteries. They just did not realize how bad their cholesterol had been!
Why? Because people with low/normal cholesterol do not feel any better than those with high cholesterol. High Cholesterol SignsSymptomatic cholesterol indicates the problem is in advanced stages. The symptoms MAY include: - Deposits of fat under the skin that cause yellow bumps, known as xanthoma.
This condition may manifest itself as yellow bumps on skin, elbows, knees, joints, or yellow patches around the eyelids. Other than the above, you should suspect high cholesterol, if: - you are overweight, particularly if you belly sticks out
- you live sedentary life (like my brother who had high cholesterol) with too little exercise (btw - click on the link to read his story)
- you smoke
- your diet includes too much meat and not enough fiber
(Read about foods to avoid in high cholesterol). - high cholesterol goes in your family
- you have diabetes
Herbs are FoodsEven if you are symptoms free, but around 40 or better, it makes a good sense to watch out. Remember that herbs are foods. Herbs are plants. Learn about herbs for lowering cholesterol. If in doubt, get checked. The best way to determine if the silent killer is out to get you, is the blood test. Good luck. If it turns out that you need to address the problem, make sure you know how to lower cholesterol naturally. Your Cholesterol Action PlanAnd most of all: do not delay. This may be a very costly mistake. It really never ceases to amaze how ignorant certain individual seem to be: you see, many people still feel good (no bothersome symptoms) even when their cholesterol IS high. As a result they just may ignore it. And some DO! By doing so they are inviting a lot of trouble. I am not talking just a heart disease here.
There is evidence that impotence, mental impairment, high blood pressure, colon polyps, tumors, atherosclerosis (and therefore heart attacks and strokes), and other condition have been associated with hypercholesterolemia. In the 17 years of my work I have seen it all! Check your cholesterol. And consider Cholesterol Action Plan now! Better safe than sorry, right?
