1. Chest pain or angina
High cholesterol can lead to a build-up of plaque in the arteries, which can reduce blood flow. This often leads to chest pain, also known as angina.
Pharmaquiz helps you monitor these symptoms and offers advice on cholesterol management.
2. Fatigue and weakness
If your arteries are clogged with cholesterol, your heart has to work harder to pump blood, which can lead to feelings of fatigue and weakness.
With Pharmaquiz, you can track your symptoms and receive personalized recommendations to improve your cardiovascular health.
3. Xanthomas
Xanthomas are fatty deposits that can appear on the skin, particularly around the eyes or joints. These fatty plaques are a sign of high cholesterol.
