High Cholesterol Symptoms


What are the symptoms of high cholesterol?

There are no symptoms for people with high cholesterol levels.

However, certain risk factors should alert you that you may possibly have high cholesterol levels. If you have a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease, even if you eat healthy and exercise regularly, treat it as a symptom and get your levels checked.

And How Do You Test Your Cholesterol Levels?

Since genetic factors are largely at play when it comes to high cholesterol, don’t wait to get tested. Start getting blood tests for cholesterol early, so that even in your 20’s you know and monitor your levels especially if they are high.
