What is hyperlipidemia?

Hyperlipidemia is a disease that directly endangers human health and can lead to damage to liver function. Long-term hyperlipidemia can lead to fatty liver, which in turn leads to cirrhosis and even damage to liver function. Hyperlipidemia is usually more common (especially offal, egg yolk, meat, dairy and seafood), obesity, dislike of exercise, smoking, drinking, diet and living habits, the elderly. In addition, some familial genetic problems can also cause hyperlipidemia.

What are the symptoms of hyperlipidemia?

1. There are many mild hyperlipidemias without any symptoms and without any 血脂肪, so everyone will ignore mild hyperlipidemia. However, even if there are no symptoms, it is still mild hyperlipidemia, so we should go to check blood lipids regularly and take protective measures.

2. Generally, the symptoms of hyperlipidemia are: dizziness, mental fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness, numbness, chest tightness, palpitations, etc., which are also confused with clinical symptoms of other diseases. Some patients have high blood lipids but no symptoms. Hyperlipidemia was detected during a physical examination of the blood. In addition, hyperlipidemia is often accompanied by overweight and obesity.

3. Symptoms such as dizziness, headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, fatigue, crooked speech, inability to speak, numbness of limbs, etc., may occur when hyperlipidemia is more serious, and eventually lead to coronary heart disease and stroke and other serious diseases, with corresponding manifestations.

4. Long-term symptoms of hyperlipidemia, long-term hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis caused by vascular endothelial lipid deposition, can cause coronary heart disease and peripheral arterial disease, manifested as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke and intermittent claudication (limb activity). pain later).

5. A few symptoms of hyperlipidemia may also show changes in the corneal arch and lipid fundus. Corneal arch, also known as the ring of old age, if it occurs under the age of 40, it is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, and familial hypercholesterolemia is more common, but the specificity is not strong. The fundus changes of hyperlipidemia are caused by the deposition of large granular lipoproteins rich in triglycerides on the small arteries of the fundus and cause light refraction, and are often characteristic of severe hypertriglyceridemia accompanied by chylomicronemia. .
