High cholesterol (hyperclesterolemia) is known as a silent killer, because often its symptoms are not clearly visible. However, when the body gives some indication even in walking, then the alert should be alerted. These signs can be revealed due to increase in cholesterol levels, which are often associated with Peripheral Artery Diseases (PAD). It can be fatal to ignore them. What are these signs, which need to be noted? Let’s know.
what is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of lipid (fat), which the body itself makes. It also comes from some food products like meat, eggs, dairy products etc.
1. There is difficulty in walking or walking stairs
Foot pain is one of the early symptoms of high cholesterol, which is caused by PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease). When cholesterol starts accumulating in the arteries, they become narrower. The supply of oxygen does not reach proper to the muscles. This causes pain, tiredness or discomfort in the calves, Thai or buttocks while walking and climbing stairs. & Nbsp;
2. The muscles start to weaken
Blood flow is affected by accumulating in cholesterol arteries. The muscles start to weaken due to not getting enough oxygen. There is also difficulty in walking, standing for a long time and making the balance of the body. By staying in such a situation, there can be a problem of muscles atrophy (muscles shrinking). This can make it even more difficult to walk, especially the elderly or pre-sick persons can see these problems.
3. Foots get cold
Due to affecting blood circulation, one leg or leg seems to be colder than the other, it is especially felt after walking. Lack of oxygen in serious cases can cause the leg yellow or blue. Hands and feet should not be ignored to feel constant cool, as it may be a sign of severe blockage in arteries.
4. Numbness and tingling
Due to blood flow, the fingers of the feet or feet may feel numbness or tingling. This happens especially during physical a complexity. Not getting enough oxygen can cause nerve damage. If this problem has been repeated or quite a long time, then a doctor should be consulted, so that any complications such as infection or ulcers can be protected. & Nbsp;
5. The color of the feet starts changing
Due to bad blood circulation, the color of the skin of the feet or legs can appear light or blue-purple. In severe cases it can be revealed in the form of cyanosis, in which tissues start falling blue due to lack of oxygen.
