High cholesterol doesn’t announce itself. There are no symptoms, no warning signals, no moment where the body flags that something is building quietly in the background. Most people find out the same way: a routine blood draw, a follow-up call, and a number that lands harder than expected, especially when nothing about how you’ve been...
