Doctor highlights warning signs of high cholesterol on face, hands, and feet

A doctor has identified warning signs of high cholesterol that can appear on the face, hands, and feet. These include cholesterol clumps on tendons, yellowish bumps around the eyes, and a white ring around the iris. Dr. Ahmed emphasized that high cholesterol often shows no symptoms until it causes serious health issues. He noted that these signs may indicate familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that can be treated with statins. A blood test is the only way to confirm high cholesterol. Patients are advised to make dietary changes and may need medication to manage their cholesterol levels effectively.
