10 Symptoms Of High Cholesterol
1. Atherosclerosis
With a high level of cholesterol, there is the narrowing and hardening of arteries caused by the buildup of plaque and other deposits. This condition is referred to as atherosclerosis. It results in a reduced level of blood flow. When arteries that feed heart muscles are constricted in this way, it can lead to chest pain and eventually coronary heart disease.
Should blood clots passing through these blood channels become unable to get by due to the reduced space, it can cause them to plug an artery leading to a heart attack. When the same occurs in blood vessels that feed the brain, it can also lead to stroke.
