3 signs of high cholesterol without blood tests: xanthelasma, arcus senilis, tendon xanthomas; may indicate fatty cholesterol build-up leading to blockages and health issues.
Three signs of high cholesterol can be spotted without blood tests: 1) Xanthelasma, yellowish bumps on eyelids or surrounding skin due to fatty deposits; 2) Arcus senilis, a halo or ring around the iris; 3) Tendon xanthomas, swollen tendons, particularly at the elbow or heel. These signs may indicate fatty cholesterol build-up in blood vessels, which can lead to blockages and health issues like heart attacks and strokes. To confirm high cholesterol, a blood test is essential.
