What are the symptoms of having high cholesterol?

See below: High cholesterol by itself does not cause symptoms, however, high cholesterol is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and that may produce symptoms. See this site for more info. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/what-is-atherosclerosis.

↑LDL not cholesterol: drives atherosclerosis, body wide, eventually resulting in loss of blood flow including heart attacks, stokes, dementia, erectile dysfunction, etc. While the disease typically begins in later childhood, no symptoms for decades because arteries enlarge, not narrow. Endothelial lining tears over plaque SUDDENLY results in showering debris & clots blocking blood flow & symptomatic if severe enough.
