Why
is it hard to believe that high cholesterol is a problem
?
It may
be hard to believe that high cholesterol is a problem
at all, because you may not have symptoms. Many people
who have high cholesterol have it for years with no
symptoms.
Silently,
it can slowly damage your blood vessels. Eventually
this damage may bring about symptoms. Whether you
have symptoms or not, damage to your blood vessels
puts you at risk for peripheral vascular disease,
heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
