What Are High Cholesterol Symptoms

what are high cholesterol symptoms
High cholesterol, or known as hypercholesterolemia, is a condition where there is too much cholesterol in the body. Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that becomes part of body components. Our body makes its own cholesterol to support some important function. Added cholesterol from fatty food we eat, can make harm to our body if the level is too high.

It is already known that high cholesterol plays an important role in mechanism of stroke, metabolic syndromes, and heart attack. Too much cholesterol inside the blood can create plaque along the artery walls. In the next time, plaque that forms clot can block the blood flow to the heart (causes heart attack), the brain (causes stroke), and any other body parts.

Cholesterol is divided into 2 groups: good cholesterol (HDL, high density lipoproteins) and bad cholesterol (LDL, low density lipoproteins). Besides that, there is a third type of fatty substance, called triglycerides. This is considered as bad fat. The normal range of total cholesterol is between 140-200 mg/dl. If your blood cholesterol level is more than 200, it usually means that you have high levels of bad cholesterol, low or normal level of good cholesterol, and normal or high level of triglycerides. There is also a condition called primary hypercholesterolemia. It is a congenital condition that affects an individual's LDL cholesterol. This is a rare case. 

There are some risk factors that contribute in high cholesterol symptoms, such as: 
    • Obesity
    • Bad diet, consist of high trans fatty acids and saturated fat; less fiber
    • Less physical exercise.
    • Hypertension
    • Smoking habit
    • Alcoholism habit
    • Diabetes mellitus
    • Post menopausal women
    • Having the same family history
What are high cholesterol symptoms
Most of people with hypercholesterolemia is generally asymptomatic, especially at early stages. They found hypercholesterolemia accidentally through medical check up. The only way to know about high cholesterol is having a blood test. Before doing this test (called lipid profile test), you should be abstain for food at least 12 hours before the test. Advanced stages of high cholesterol usually shows some organ-specific symptoms such as: transient ischemic attack (caused by brain vessel atherosclerosis), chest pain (caused by bad blood supply to the heart or coronary artery disease), bad vision, and a yellowish patch around the eyelid called xanthelasma palpebrarum.

I was cure of Herpes by a great powerful herbalist Dr. Dominic Elabe.it was after I got my worst breakdown on 12/2/2018, when I was diagnosed of Herpes Simplex Virus. I became worried and ashamed to show myself in the public. I tried so many antiviral treatment, to see if I could get ride of my health issues,but non could cure me,glory to God. My researchers on the Herpes remedy got me excited when I came across lots of testimonies on how there where cured of Herpes with Herbs by Dr. Dominic Elabe.......
    I did contacted the Dr, luckily for me it was his happy day. He had to take me to his hospitals to view the other patience of much critical conditions and of group pictures with testifying patients who had been cured. It was indeed a great day for me. I quickly requested for my cure cos I was convinced he could cure me as well. Not long he prepared the medicine for me and sent through the DHL delivery service. It was together with an herbal cream that burnt all the blisters on the affected parts. I followed the instructions given to me, and it works for me too. My Dr, just confirmed me Herpes negative. I'm so happy with my life now.Dr. Dominic Elabe is a good man and had been with his gift from birth.you need to contact him yourself for any health challenge @
