Tiny blood clots under your fingernails may be a warning that bad cholesterol levels in your body are high and you should see a doctor, otherwise it may end up in a heart attack.

“When it’s a sign of heart disease, people tend to have symptoms, such as high fever and a weak or irregular heartbeat”

according to the Association of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).

LDL cholesterol is found in foods such as sausages, fried foods or fatty cuts of meat, however there is also the good cholesterol better known as NHS cholesterol that is necessary for the body and that helps reduce bad cholesterol in the arteries.

High cholesterol can be reversed by removing saturated fats from the daily diet and consuming unsaturated fats to reinforce the NHS cholesterol, exercising.
