There are some unexpected consequences of having too much bad cholesterol...
, the extra cholesterol gets stored in the arteries and builds up over time into plaque, making it difficult for blood to flow properly through the arteries," says Burdeos.
Over time, the unchecked buildup of plaque leads to one of the most notorious side effects of high cholesterol.or stroke. It is possible to not experience side effects from high cholesterol and some people don't know they've had high cholesterol until a life-threatening event occurs," says Burdeos."This is why getting a routine check-up that includes a blood test for cholesterol levels is important.
"Unfortunately, most people who have high cholesterol levels will not know they have high cholesterol levels without having bloodwork done to tell them they have high cholesterol levels," says."However, there are a couple of signs if you have high cholesterol. One is called: xanthomas which are soft, yellow growths on the skin."
A breakout of skin blemishes sounds horrible on a good day, but the underlying reason as to why you may experience this breakout makes matters much worse. "Blood flow is impeded by the thick cholesterol that can pile up on the sides of blood vessels making them thinner and making blood thicker," says Dr. Ellis Hunnes.
