Pain in head.
When headaches occur frequently, it may indicate an increased level of fatty substances in the blood, especially if this problem is not controlled. Such unpleasant symptoms can occur due to poor circulation or reduced elasticity of blood vessels, which occurs due to the accumulation of fatty deposits on their walls. This prevents normal blood circulation, forcing the heart to work harder and increasing the likelihood of other diseases. The manifestation of unpleasant sensations in the head with high cholesterol can be of varying intensity. They may worsen in the morning or after physical exertion, when the body requires more blood supply. In addition, this condition may have other signs, such as fatigue, chest tightness, or breathing problems.
Skin spots.
Skin spots can be a sign of elevated levels of fat compounds in the blood, which can deposit in the tissues. One of these manifestations is xanthomas, in most cases they can be around the eyes, on the knees or other parts of the skin. These spots form due to the accumulation of fats in the skin, indicating a disruption in their metabolism in the body. The spots can vary in size and shape, and usually do not cause significant discomfort. If you notice such changes on your skin, you should consult a specialist to get recommendations on how to change your diet to normalize your cholesterol level.
Halitosis.
An unpleasant odor from the mouth or halitosis, can be a sign of problems with the exchange of fats in the body. This can happen when the level of lipids in the blood is very high, leading to liver dysfunction and affecting other organs involved in metabolism. In such cases, the body may produce compounds that cause a characteristic odor, which is difficult to get rid of even after brushing the teeth. The breath may vary in smell, and its intensity may increase after eating or in the morning when the body is in a fasting state. If this symptom is accompanied by other signs, such as fatigue, abdominal pain, or digestive problems, it may be a signal that the level of fat in the body is excessive, and you should consult a doctor for appropriate treatment (for example Arrow-Simva (Simvastatin), Atorlip, Ezetrol).
Vision problems.
When cholesterol levels rise in the human body, there are disorders in some structures of the eye that can lead to various visual impairments. For example, you may experience blurred vision and darkening or a “fog” in your eyes, which is especially noticeable when changing lighting or quickly transitioning from a dark room to a bright one. These changes may be temporary, but over time they can worsen if the underlying cause is not addressed. Additionally, elevated fat levels can affect the eye’s ability to adapt to changes in lighting. A person may feel that it takes longer to adjust to darkness or bright light. In some cases, some more severe diseases can develop, so timely examination and correction of blood fat levels can help prevent serious complications and preserve vision.
