- skin spots: if we have dark or yellowish spots we should consult a doctor because these could also be a symptom of a high level of cholesterol in the blood;
- visual disturbances: high cholesterol can cause visual disturbances and eye fatigue, precisely because the microcirculation does not work properly and enough oxygen does not reach the eyes;
