In the winter, half of the patients with cardiovascular diseases in the hospital are affected, and the majority of the sick people are middle-aged and elderly.
Hyperlipidemia seems to have become a "common thing" for the elderly, but hyperlipidemia will bring certain damage to the body, accelerate hardening of blood vessels, induce other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and in severe cases, it will also lead to death.
Therefore, we can not underestimate the harm caused by high blood lipids to the human body, and find that it is not appropriate to do the examination in time to reasonably reduce the concentration of blood lipids.
There may be many people who do not know what physical symptoms can be triggered by high blood lipids, and the following will take you to learn more about it.
If the following four symptoms occur in the body at the same time, it is likely that it is caused by excessive blood lipids.
1. Eye problems
When the blood concentration of patients with hyperlipidemia is too high, it will cause the blood to be blocked in the path of supply to various parts of the body, and the lipoproteins in the blood flow out of the capillaries, which cannot provide nutrition to the eyes in time, resulting in blurred vision and local swelling of the eyes.
Patients with mild hyperlipidemia have fewer eye problems, and may only be unclear for a short time, which also makes everyone not consider that it is caused by elevated blood lipids when there are eye problems.
Especially in the elderly, these problems in the eyes are not paid attention to, resulting in an increase in the concentration of blood lipids in the body and an increase in the frequency of inducing blurred vision.
In addition, there are also some patients with hypertension who have abnormal metabolism, and the cholesterol in the body cannot be metabolized out in time, resulting in small yellow bumps in the eyes.
Therefore, if you find that you have the above eye symptoms in your life, you must consider whether it is induced by factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia or hyperglycemia, so as to ensure that blood lipids are reduced in a timely and reasonable manner, so as to avoid high blood lipids from continuing to cause adverse symptoms.
2. Discomfort of limbs
In the case of dyslipidemia, the blood becomes viscous and forms clots within the blood vessels, thus obstructing blood circulation, leading to spasms and pain due to ischemia in the limbs of the body.
Patients with hyperlipidemia often have numbness in hands and feet and leg cramps, and leg spasms are more common when sleeping at night, which is also commonly known as leg cramps.
Most people think that leg cramps are caused by calcium deficiency, ignoring the influence of high blood lipids, resulting in leg cramps in patients who still have leg cramps in calcium supplementation for many years. When the patient's leg is cramped, it is possible to try to stand up with both feet upright so that the blood will flow downwards, which will relieve the cramp to some extent.
3. Hand problems
In the case of dyslipidemia, orange rashes and nodules appear on the human skin, mainly concentrated on the joints of the hands. When the blood lipids are too high, the most serious obstruction is the body limbs, the limbs are not supplied with nutrients, and yellow streaks appear at the skin joints.
In addition, high blood lipids may also cause the nails to lose their luster, the nail surface becomes rough without blood, and even the nails are pale and easy to break.
When spots and nodules appear on our skin or joints, we need to go to the hospital for further diagnosis to understand the health level of blood lipids and exclude symptoms caused by hyperlipidemia.
4. Dizziness is obvious
It is well known that hyperlipidemia can cause problems with blood vessel blockage, and common dizziness and headaches are also associated with hyperlipidemia. When elevated blood lipids affect the health of cerebrovascular diseases, patients will only feel dizzy in the early stage, and will feel obvious dizziness in the later stages when the brain ischemia and hypoxia are severe.
If the patient cannot be found in time, the cerebral blood vessels will be blocked seriously after continuous stimulation, resulting in the patient's pale and weak body, and even fainting.
Therefore, if you are dizzy and sleepy during the day, but you will become awake at night, this is likely to be a typical symptom of elevated blood lipids, and you should be vigilant.
All in all, hyperlipidemia is a disease that the elderly are susceptible to now, and patients are getting younger and younger. Patients should not be too anxious, always pay attention to the signals sent by the body, just like the hands, eyes and brain problems mentioned above, and take reasonable treatment methods in time to control the development of the disease and avoid causing greater harm to the human body.
In addition, everyone should pay attention to diet health and nutritional balance, change bad habits in life, and do moderate exercise to promote blood circulation.
