Formation of blood clots in the coronary and carotid arteries can cause heart attacks and increase the risk of stroke.
Therefore, had higher levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) is too low as dangerous as having levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) is too high.
Causes of Low HDL Cholesterol
Cholesterol also circulated throughout the body via the bloodstream. HDL cholesterol levels are too low, accompanied by high levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to plaque formation in the arteries.
Plaque in the arteries could potentially block blood flow to all the organs, including the heart, kidneys, and brain.
Some things that cause a person to have too low levels of HDL are smoking, obesity, and lack of exercise.
Here are the signs and symptoms caused by low levels of HDL cholesterol in the blood.
1. inflammation
HDL cholesterol levels that are too low can hinder the process of disposal of LDL in the blood.
Uncontrolled LDL will trigger the formation of plaque in the arteries and impede blood oxygenation.
According to the Mayo Clinic, LDL accumulates in the walls of blood vessels can cause inflammation (inflammation).
2. Broken Blood Vessels
Once the blood vessels are inflamed, and HDL levels remained low, red and white blood cells began to get stuck in the inflamed area and can not flow smoothly into other organs and body parts that need.
If left unchecked, this condition can cause blood vessel rupture. Broken blood vessels will lead to internal bleeding.
3. atherosclerosis
HDL levels did not go up would make LDL continue to form plaques in the arteries.
Over time, not only the plaque, but the arteries over time will have atherosclerosis or calcification. This condition will worsen clogged arteries.
According to the American Heart Association, atherosclerosis can also cause some other conditions such as kidney failure, heart failure, and heart attack.
4. Erectile Dysfunction
With the decline in blood flow due to blockage, many suffer organ in the body, including the male genitalia.
According to the American Heart Association, decreased blood flow to vital organs can lead to male erectile dysfunction.
