How Your Feet Reveals High Cholesterol: 6 Symptoms You Need to Know
Meanwhile, high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke. “Bad” cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) that builds up in blood vessels impairs blood flow and often leads to death. Most often, patients learn about the pathology after an attack or through a blood test. However, symptoms of hypercholesterolemia (the so-called high cholesterol) may appear in the legs.
Symptoms include leg pain, hair loss, numbness in the legs, muscle weakness, skin discoloration, heel spurs.
leg pain – usually occurs during walking or physical activity and disappears after a few minutes of rest. The pain can be both mild and severe and is often accompanied by spasms. Both legs usually hurt at the same time, but pain in one leg is usually worse.
A few years ago, scientists from Johns Hopkins University (USA) conducted an experiment on mice. They fed some rodents a balanced diet and others foods high in cholesterol. After 9 months, 75% of the unhealthy-fed mice became ill and their hair began to fall out.
So hair loss on your legs, slow hair growth, and even smooth, shiny skin on your legs can all be signs of high cholesterol. Numbness or weakness can also indicate a problem. This is caused by narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in the legs.

genetic disease has fooled even doctors
A 47-year-old woman from Vilnius, who works as a veterinarian, says that she was already a bit bigger as a child, but there were no serious health problems at that time.
“However, sometimes I just lacked strength and stamina, which kept me from participating in physical education classes. For her part, my mother was surprised and said that she knows quite a few big people who “drive like tanks”, remembers Diana.
Both in childhood and youth, she avoided going to the doctor – she usually went only for preventive measures required at school. So no one suspected that Diana’s body was slowly progressing with a hereditary disease. Because more often doctors come across SRA when the disease is in babies, and not in adult patients. Unlike adult patients, babies suffer from type 1 or type 2 SRA, which progresses rapidly, significantly impairing the child’s motor development.
The majority of rare disease cases are diagnosed during the first months of a baby’s life. In Lithuania, this diagnosis is made in an average of two newborns per year. There are a total of four types of this disease. The fourth type is characterized by the smallest motor impairment, which is often undetectable.
Rare has heard of the disease
The interviewee has the impression that there is a lack of information about SRA both for the public and for family doctors. She admits that she has experienced stress due to medical errors and incorrect diagnoses.
“Fortunately, I am a veterinarian myself and I have a good understanding of how a living organism functions, of nerves, muscles,
