Dizziness is due to anemia, legs often cramp because of calcium deficiency, often tinnitus and hard of hearing is an ear problem …… Many people have this understanding, but in fact, these are incomplete and even wrong perception! All these symptoms are likely to point to the same problem – dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is a serious danger Dyslipidemia refers to plasma total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) over the normal range, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is below the normal range. Hypercholesterolemia is diagnosed when the level of total cholesterol in the blood exceeds a certain concentration. Cholesterol exists in the blood mainly in the form of LDL cholesterol, and hypercholesterolemia causes systemic atherosclerosis and even cardiovascular accidents. Hypertriglyceridemia has become a life-threatening invisible killer in hyperlipidemia, where the blood triglyceride more than 1.7mmol/l that is hypertriglyceridemia, some studies show that hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. Six signs of abnormal blood lipids, this time we must consult a doctor in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to standardize the use of medication, even if the blood lipids down to normal, but also can not stop taking medication, otherwise the blood lipids will soon return to the original level, and sometimes may rebound to a higher level. Six signs of abnormal blood lipids 1, dizziness is one of the common early symptoms of hyperlipidemia, especially in the middle-aged and elderly people, often get up in the morning and feel not clear-headed, can be improved after breakfast, very easy to be sleepy in the afternoon, but the night is very awake. This point needs to be focused on. 2, yellow, orange or brownish-red nodules, plaques or rashes appear in some parts of the body. More dark spots appear on the face and hands within a short period of time. 3, legs often cramp and often feel muscle tingling, or calves are cold and numb. This is a manifestation of cholesterol accumulation in the leg muscles. This is especially important to identify with the symptoms of calcium deficiency. 4. Blurred vision or loss of vision. This is caused by the blood becoming viscous and slowing down the flow rate, causing temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve or retina. 5, repeated episodes of transient abdominal pain after a full meal can be seen in mesenteric arteriosclerotic gastrointestinal ischemia caused by hyperlipidemia. 6, often tinnitus and hard of hearing, also related to hyperlipidemia, this is because of high blood fat so that the more narrow inner ear blood vessels more narrow, blood supply disorders. Blood fat down to normal can not stop the drug Modern research has found that elevated blood fat is harmful to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, long-term high blood fat will lead to atherosclerosis, causing coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction. If there is a combination of hypertension, diabetes, family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, it is more important to actively use medication. In the clinic, patients often ask: “My blood lipid has been reduced to the normal level after taking medication, is it possible to stop taking medication? I have heard that lipid-lowering drugs are harmful to the liver and can cause transaminase elevation.” In fact, this idea is unscientific, because the human body every day to take in a variety of nutrients, such as sugar, starch, protein and fat, the body is also constantly synthesizing fat-like substances, the life of the metabolism will not stop. Lipid-lowering drugs by blocking a key enzyme in the process of lipid synthesis, play a role in lowering lipids, once the drug is discontinued, these enzymes began to synthesize lipids, and soon returned to the original level of lipids, and sometimes may rebound to a higher level, just like diabetes treatment, hypoglycemic drugs to eat every day, even if the blood glucose drop to normal, but also to continue to take the drug. In addition, lipid-lowering drugs on the incidence of liver damage is very low, even if long-term use, the chance of transaminase elevation is also very small, usually within 1%. It is generally recommended that people taking the drug for the first time have their liver function checked by blood sampling at one month, and if it is normal, they can take the drug for a long time, and then come back for review once a year. After the blood lipid reaches the standard, the smallest dose is used for long-term maintenance, which has a good preventive effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. With the improvement of our country’s economic situation, people’s meals to socialize more and more, children prefer sweets, burgers and fries and other fried food, young people love to eat late-night snacks and other bad eating habits, so that people’s lipid food intake is too much. When drinking alcohol, alcohol can promote lipid synthesis, so that triglyceride catabolism slows down. Therefore, in the diet of Chen Yili suggested limiting salt, sugar, fat, high sugar-containing pastries to eat less, because sugar can be converted to endogenous triglycerides in the liver, so that the plasma triglyceride concentration increases. To eat less or no lard, no animal offal, large pieces of fat meat, chicken skin, pig skin, etc., it is recommended to eat vegetable oil, but peanut oil and walnut oil should be eaten sparingly, and it is recommended to eat blended oil, vegetable oil and olive oil. In addition, men above middle age and postmenopausal women, long-term hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and smoking, obesity are prone to carotid artery stenosis. These people are prone to deep fatty degeneration and cholesterol deposition in the endothelium of the arteries, formation of atherosclerotic plaques and various secondary lesions. Therefore, it is recommended that men over the age of 45, women over the age of 55, people with dyslipidemia, diabetic patients, and patients with high blood pressure do carotid ultrasound once a year.
