SPECIALTIES :: LIPID DISORDERS
Having high cholesterol has no symptoms but it can be a life threatening condition. High cholesterol is serious problem that can lead to heart disease, clots, heart attacks & strokes. Sometimes, in certain people who have a family history of high cholesterol, there may be signs such as xanthomata (deposits of yellowish material containing cholesterol), xanthelasma palpebrarum (yellowish patches under the skin around the eyelids), & or arcus senilis (gray or white discoloring of the eye’s cornea). These symptoms are usually found in those people who have high cholesterol in their family.
