The Symptoms of High Cholesterol

Did you know that high cholesterol symptoms are often undetectable without a cholesterol test?

A cholesterol test will look at an provide information about your “key lipids”, which are fats in the blood, including LDL (“bad cholesterol”), HDL (“good cholesterol”), triglycerides and total cholesterol.

Apart from a cholesterol test, invisible high cholesterol symptoms are associated with the following risk factors:

• A poor diet, full of sugar, starches, processed grains, white flour, bad fats and processed oils
• Leading a sedentary life with little to no exercise
• Age (as age increases, so do the risks of certain diseases)
• Smoking tobacco
• Diabetes and thyroid condidtions
• A familial history of high cholesterol levels

Remember, the best thing a person can do, regardless of if they have a family history of high cholesterol, if they suspect they have it, or if they’ve taken a cholesterol test, is to avoid invisible high cholesterol symptoms by choosing a healthier lifestyle.
