Your legs are screaming cholesterol! 5-minute self-diagnosis
Your legs can be the first to reveal hidden high cholesterol and the onset of atherosclerosis in the lower extremities—long before heart problems. In this video, Dr. Katya shows how to recognize warning signs based on the appearance of your legs, pain when walking, and simple home tests you can do right away.
Learn why intermittent claudication, hair loss on your shins, parchment-like skin, thickened nails, and cold feet aren't just a sign of age, but an SOS signal from your arteries. We'll explore the real symptoms of leg atherosclerosis and explain how the Buerger test works, the knee phenomenon, and the ankle-brachial index (ABI) can be measured at home.
Get practical advice: when to urgently see a doctor, what tests to take, and how to start lowering cholesterol naturally today. Early attention to these signs can help prevent serious complications. If you've noticed at least one of the symptoms, give it a like 👍, comment on what exactly is bothering you (pain when walking? cold feet? hair loss?), and share the video with your loved ones over 50. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel and turn on the bell—new episodes on vascular health, cholesterol, and simple ways to take care of yourself after 50 are coming.
