High Cholesterol Warning Signs on Eyes, Skin, Legs

High Cholesterol Warning Signs on Eyes, Skin, Legs

High cholesterol is often called the 'silent disease' because it usually doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms.

The only reliable way to know your cholesterol levels is through a blood test.

However, in some people, especially those with an inherited condition called familial hypercholesterolaemia, visible warning signs can appear on the eyes, skin, tendons, and legs.

These signs can help identify high cholesterol levels that might otherwise go unnoticed.
