High LDL and total cholesterol are commonly found in hyperlipidemia, which generally may have no obvious symptoms and is often discovered during physical examination when blood biochemistry tests are performed to measure blood lipids. Some people may experience dizziness, insomnia and forgetfulness, fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness, numbness of limbs and other symptoms.
If hyperlipidemia is more serious, it can lead to arteriosclerosis and corresponding organ damage, such as coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, nephropathy, and peripheral vascular lesions. As a result, yellow tumor, premature corneal ring and fundus changes, atherosclerosis and other related symptoms appear.
1. Yellow tumor, early onset corneal ring and fundus changes: local deposition of lipids, appearing an abnormal limited skin elevation, called yellow tumor; corneal lipid deposition, located in the outer edge of the cornea is gray or white, called corneal ring; severe hyperlipidemia patients can also appear lipemia fundus changes.
2. Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis caused by lipid deposition under the endothelium of blood vessels often leads to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which can be followed by a series of symptoms such as dizziness, numbness of limbs, hemiplegia, chest tightness, chest pain and so on.
It is recommended that patients with high LDL and total cholesterol should go to the hospital in time for treatment.
