High cholesterol can also be the cause of various diseases in humans, also the diseases related to cholesterol are hidden in a way that they do not show any significant signs of disease.
There are certain signs which are associated with high cholesterol and if noticed at the initial stage can help a person in avoiding or at least may delay the occurrence of a disease.
High cholesterol symptoms are hidden inside and are not so visible in the earlier stages, but they can be tracked if one is vigilant enough.
The hip muscles got affected by high cholesterol, but how?
The high cholesterol in one’s body builds up inside the blood vessels which slowly forms plaques. These plaques limit the flow of blood in the vessels and thus cause hazardous impacts on the human body.
The restriction in blood flow results in insufficient oxygen levels in different parts of the body as a result of which pain stimulates in these areas. This pain may get aggravated when these muscles are involved in some type of physical activity.
One of the muscles which get most probably affected first as told by the medical practitioners is the hip muscles. There are ample cases of people suffering from terrible pain in the hip area and having high cholesterol.
Is it a serious concern?
Yes if not taken precautionary measures then it may be a serious concern for the health of anyone.
One should not link pain in the hip region with that pain in the skeletal system of a person. Neither it should be related to the problems like arthritis.
The connection between hip muscles and cholesterol is poorly understood by normal people and needs special supervision of Medical personnel to diagnose any problem.
High cholesterol not only affects the hip muscles but also affects the legs and feet when blood circulation is restricted in the legs and feet area of anyone.
What are the signs?
Life-threatening pain in the hips even with less physical activity is the first indication that you should consult a doctor. This pain can be activated even during a normal walk. This pain goes to the butt, thigh, and calf regions also.
The impact and spread of the pain may vary from person to person depending upon the level of cholesterol and the regions where it affects the most by the plaque formation in those areas.
This muscle pain goes away by taking proper rest but it again comes back if the person got involved in some sort of physical exercise.
Other signs of diseases caused due to high cholesterol can be seen as changes in the legs and feet like changes in the color of the skin or changes in the color of the nails of the feet.
Its diagnosis is not easy.
As we generally refer hip pain with aging or bone-related diseases. Also, women experience hip pain from a very young age and in several cases, this is the reason why they associate it with high cholesterol.
Getting pain in the hips and/or legs during physical activity hardly bothers people, especially when it goes away during resting. This might be the reason why people walk for a while, sit down for some time and then continue.
It is not an everyday biological phenomenon and it got ignored well thus the impact of high cholesterol becomes visible only after it is too late.
Avoid eating high cholesterol-rich processed food, fried foods, and foods that are loaded with artificial elements.
One should remember always that we are what we eat. So, one should avoid consuming food that increases high cholesterol levels in the body. Foods like cakes and biscuits, sausages, fatty meat, foods containing palm oil, cream, hard cheese, and butter should be avoided to stop the problems related to high Cholesterol.
