High cholesterol generally does not cause specific symptoms. So, what about muscle pain? The exact relationship between muscle pain and high cholesterol is still unclear. However, it is suspected that cholesterol buildup is not limited to blood vessels but also occurs in muscles. This buildup triggers an inflammatory reaction, leading to structural changes in muscles and tendons. This is what ultimately causes muscle pain. A study shows that muscle and tendon damage occurs more frequently in people with high cholesterol than in those with normal cholesterol levels.
Therefore, muscle pain caused by cholesterol is a fact, but muscle pain is not always due to high cholesterol. There are many causes of muscle pain, such as excessive physical activity, injuries, or incorrect body posture. The only sure way to determine cholesterol levels is through a laboratory test. Hence, if you frequently experience unexplained muscle pain, it’s a good idea to check your cholesterol levels.
