I had high cholesterol for years. I could not take cholesterol pills due to cramping in my legs. Fast forward.. Im not sure if Covid affected my blood vessels or if its claudication from high cholesterol. Anybody with high cholesterol needs to take it seriously. One angioplasty and two procedures later, I can honestly say, YOU dont want this pain. Its no joke wondering when and if a blood clot will suddenly kill you.

Very good info for all to know, every body must read, I recommend it.
