As a courier, Xiao Chen is very busy working every day, basically three meals are fast food, but also often irregular. But he always thought he was young and strong, and never worried about his health. The doctor drew two bottles of “black blood” from his body, the following two bottles of dark brown liquid, not ink not Chinese medicine, you can guess what it is? After diagnosis, the doctor said Xiao Chen’s symptoms are acute severe pancreatitis, which is caused by his hyperlipidemia. His triglyceride and cholesterol indicators were more than ten times the normal high line, and his total cholesterol was five or six times the normal high line! The situation is urgent, the doctor for Xiao Chen blood purification treatment, his body blood purification separation, surprisingly “filter” out the above picture of the two bottles of black liquid. Doctor: through the blood purification out of the material are very high oil substances, this patient purification out of the material color is a little different from the past, the patient may have other potential diseases. Under normal circumstances, the plasma separated from the substance is transparent, yellowish and relatively clear, while the substance separated from hyperlipidemia is sticky, and the surface layer will also appear white like milk, and even particles can be seen. After that, the purified blood flowed back into Xiao Chen’s body, and his consciousness and breathing gradually returned to normal. After 10 days of treatment, he was transferred from the ICU intensive care unit, to a general ward. High blood lipids are not the sole property of fat people. There is a popular saying that “if blood lipids are not lowered, all diseases will be born”, which illustrates the danger of high blood lipids. In people’s mind, high blood lipid seems to be the patent of fat people and has nothing to do with thin people, so those who are slim do not pay attention to high blood lipid, instead, they become the “main force” of high blood lipid people because of irregular diet and uncontrolled diet. In fact, although obesity is a common manifestation of hyperlipidemia, there is no necessary connection between high and low blood lipids and fat and thin. According to the cause, hyperlipidemia is divided into two categories: primary and secondary. 1.Primary hyperlipidemia: It is related to environment and heredity, in other words, this kind of hyperlipidemia is either born; or it is caused by bad diet or living habits after birth. 2.Secondary hyperlipidemia: high blood lipids caused by other diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, pancreatitis and so on. Some boxed lunch vendors, in order to cater to consumers’ taste, will make the dishes in the boxed lunch oily and smooth, which looks very appetizing. But the single variety can cause a series of symptoms such as malnutrition, iron deficiency anemia, mouth ulcers, dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. How to self-judge hyperlipidemia 1. Yellow tumors Yellow, orange or brownish-red nodules, plaques or rashes appear in certain parts of the body. Yellow tumors of the eyelids are more common. The main manifestation is a small yellowish rash on the eyelid that starts out the size of a grain of rice and covers the entire eyelid in severe cases. 2, vision loss A blur when looking at something, which is caused by the blood becoming viscous and slowing down the flow rate, causing temporary ischemia and hypoxia in the optic nerve or retina. 3. Significant eye bags “Eye bags” are large amounts of fat that accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue of a person’s lower eyelid, forming a semicircular bag over time. The proportion of this disease in the population is one in a million, and more than 50 cases have been found in China. Therefore, anyone who has “bags under the eyes”, it is best to go to the hospital to check. 4, obesity obese people not only increased body fat tissue, but also a significant increase in blood lipids, especially triglycerides, free fatty acids and cholesterol levels more than normal. 5, dizziness Dizziness is a common symptom of various kinds of hyperlipidemia, and is also one of the early symptoms. The main reason is long-term cerebral arteriosclerosis and increased blood viscosity, resulting in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. 6. Angina pectoris When hyperlipidemia is combined with coronary heart disease, there are often attacks of angina pectoris. The main reason is that the blood vessels that provide energy to the heart are severely narrowed or occluded, which makes the heart get insufficient energy and ischemia and hypoxia. How to prevent and control 1, “control the mouth, open the legs” “control the mouth”, that is, to limit the intake of animal fat and sugar. Patients with high blood lipids should have a low-fat diet, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and eat more low-sugar fruits and vegetables. Current research shows that fish rich in Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are beneficial to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. So for patients with hyperlipidemia, it is beneficial to eat more fish, especially cold water fish from the deep sea. “Spread your legs”, i.e. aerobic exercise. Studies show that sustained exercise can lower blood lipids, and the higher the lipids, the greater the decline. The most effective is whole-body aerobic exercise, such as walking. 2.Medication Common lipid-lowering drugs include statins, fibrates, bile acid chelators, niacin and other lipid-lowering drugs. Among them, statin and beta are the most commonly used. It should be noted that statin mainly lowers cholesterol and is recommended to be taken before bedtime, while beta mainly lowers triglycerides and is more effective when taken in the morning with a meal.
