Severe visual impairment
This occurs [7] as a result of atherosclerosis of the eye vessels: damaged capillaries are no longer able to nourish the tissues of the eye and ensure the outflow of blood in time. Against this background, anything can happen – from a ruptured ocular thrombus to a retinal stratification. It is common for individuals with high cholesterol to have a yellowish discharge from their eyes, blurred vision, and irritation.
Halitosis
Bad breath [8] is also a common sign in people who have cholesterol problems. Since the substance is produced in the liver, its excess accumulation impairs the proper functioning of the digestive process, which is manifested by unpleasant odors in the mouth.
Angina pectoris and high blood pressure
The presence of angina pectoris [9] or the development of high blood pressure simply screams that the heart muscle is not getting enough blood and oxygen along with it.
Headache, dizziness, and nausea
As soon as cholesterol begins to settle in the blood vessels, circulation presents difficulties, and cell oxygenation is interrupted. This problem manifests itself through severe headaches, loss of balance, and frequent nausea
Early gray hair
Early gray hair is also the result of atherosclerotic processes, this time in the capillaries of the hair follicles.
