Yes, high cholesterol levels cause symptoms such as numbness, shortness of breathe, palpitations, extreme fatigue and high blood pressure.
A person is considered at high risk for developing heart disease if their total cholesterol level is higher than 240 mg/dL, LDL levels are higher than 160 mg/dL (190 mg/dL is even higher risk), and if the HDL level is below 40 mg/dL
With high cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits grow, making it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries. Sometimes, those deposits can break suddenly and form a clot that causes a heart attack or stroke
In adults, total cholesterol levels less than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) are considered healthy. A reading between 200 and 239 mg/dL is borderline high. A reading of 240 mg/dL and above is considered high
The easiest pill free ways to cut heart diseases are doing free hand exercises and eating foods that do not add to unhealthy cholesterol in the body such as oats, legumes, nuts etc
