Living in the Northeast 70-year-old Lao Liu retired for ten years, he had a lot of hard times when he was young, and now he is free of wealth, and after leisure, Lao Liu began to enjoy life unscrupulously, he eats more fashionable than young people, he has a good appetite and no gastrointestinal problems, he really does three small barbecues a day, and from time to time he will buy some milk tea fruit tea and other drinks to quench his thirst.
Peers are envious of Lao Liu's fairy days, Lao Liu is also complacent about this, eats well and sleeps well, and lives at ease every day, Lao Liu often uses an Internet phrase to describe himself "What else do you need", but it didn't take long to show off, it seems that retribution is coming, in August 2021, Lao Liu was choosing a hat in the supermarket, and suddenly felt a burst of panic and chest tightness, and before he could find a place to rest, he only felt that his eyes were black, and Lao Liu fainted on the ground.
Fortunately, a couple next to Lao Liu found Lao Liu's abnormality, and hurriedly dialed 120, when the ambulance arrived, Lao Liu had woken up leisurely, at this time, Lao Liu was lifted into the ambulance after a preliminary examination, and Lao Liu did not have a slanted mouth and eyes, and the muscle tension of the limbs was normal, and the perception was normal, and the tongue was stretched out and found that the tongue was centered, as if there were no particularly serious symptoms, but Lao Liu was still sent to the hospital to prepare for a specific examination.
The examination found that Lao Liu's total cholesterol reached 8.26mmol/L, while triglycerides were 17.37mmol/L, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was 4.32mmol/L, which were much higher than the normal value, so Lao Liu was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, and the subsequent cervical vascular color ultrasound found that Lao Liu's left common carotid artery had the formation of atheroma plaque, and the intima-media of the right common carotid artery was significantly thickened.
The results of these two examinations showed that there were a few ischemic foci in Lao Liu's bilateral frontal lobes, lacunar cerebral infarction on the right side of the pontine brain, and Lao Liu's bilateral ethmoid sinus mucosa thickened, maxillary sinus mucosa also thickened, and the middle and lower turbinates on both sides were enlarged, so the approximate cause of Lao Liu's fainting was found, and the lacunar cerebral infarction led to insufficient blood supply to local brain tissue, and finally caused fainting.
And due to the presence of atheroma plaque in the carotid artery, it also further leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which also increases the possibility of fainting due to lack of oxygen to the brain, and the long-term hypoxia also increases Lao Liu's respiratory rate, resulting in thickening of the mucosa in the nasal cavity and enlargement of the turbinates.
He asked the doctor, should hyperlipidemia only be fat, how can you get this kind of wealth disease if you are thin, after listening to Lao Liu's question, the doctor patiently replied, the high incidence of hyperlipidemia is indeed an obese population, but it does not mean that thin people will not get hyperlipidemia, with the improvement of living standards, more and more people will have this problem, especially greasy diet, which is one of the most important reasons for the onset of hyperlipidemia.
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Lao Liu thought of the leisurely life he had for a long time in front of him, and also figured out why he was guilty of this disease of wealth, and then Lao Liu asked a key question: Is this hyperlipidemia important, is it easy to die?
The doctor explained to Lao Liu again.
It turns out that hyperlipidemia is a direct manifestation, there are really no obvious symptoms, there is no pain or itching, and there is no uncomfortable place on the body, but when the long-term hyperlipidemia exists, it will cause serious complications, the first of which is cardiovascular disease. As the content of blood lipids in the blood is getting higher and higher, the accumulation of lipids will also increase the blood concentration, on the one hand, the viscous blood is not conducive to circulation, resulting in an increase in the probability of the formation of plaque in the blood vessels.
On the other hand, viscous blood may also form thrombosis under the action of coagulation factors, causing narrowing in blood vessels, and even blocking blood vessels, resulting in insufficient blood supply and necrosis of local tissues.
Hearing the doctor's detailed description of the dangers of hyperlipidemia, Lao Liu couldn't help but secretly keep the knowledge told by the doctor in his heart, and also paid attention to this disease, and decided to make a change and must lower his blood lipids. Therefore, according to Lao Liu's symptoms and diagnosis, the doctor prescribed three drugs to Lao Liu: Xuesaitong Tablets, Aspirin Enteric-coated Sustained-Release Tablets, and Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets.
And told Lao Liu that Xuesaitong Tablets is a Chinese patent medicine, which can effectively promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, the purpose is to treat the problem of lacunar cerebral infarction in Lao Liu's head, and aspirin enteric-coated sustained-release tablets can effectively improve the plaque condition at the blood vessels in the neck, in which the inhibition of platelet aggregation can not only prevent the increase and expansion of plaque, but also prevent cerebral infarction, and rosuvastatin calcium tablets are also commonly used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, which can effectively reduce blood lipid concentration and dissipate intravascular plaque.
After half a month of taking the medicine, Lao Liu confidently walked into the hospital for a reexamination, the results of the examination showed that Lao Liu's liver and kidney function were normal, and the examination of blood lipids became normal, the most commendable thing is that a year later, Lao Liu's triglyceride concentration of 17.37mmol/L plummeted to 1.3mmol/L, and the doctor praised it again and again.
At the same time, the doctor said that if everyone can control blood lipids so effectively like Lao Liu, then the number of people who are paralyzed or die due to cerebral infarction in the world will be reduced by at least 90%.
Lao Liu laughed: What exercises can I do for my 70-year-old body bones, it is amazing to be able to simply walk two laps a day, the reason why blood lipids drop so quickly is not because of what exercise I do, but because I pay attention to these two things in my daily life!
First of all, it is to take medicine regularly on time and in accordance with the amount, because hyperlipidemia is a chronic disease with no obvious symptoms, resulting in many people not having the awareness of taking drugs regularly after illness, which will lead to the drug concentration in the blood is not stable enough, it can not be stable to control the stability of triglyceride cholesterol and other concentrations in the body, and cholesterol-lowering statins are not suitable for taking at the same time as triglyceride lowering fibrates, and need to be taken alternately and intermittently, so irregular taking of drugs will also lead to corresponding dangers.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is the main emotion, and the liver is tired of depression, when the mood is not good, then the liver will be stagnation, resulting in liver inflammation, burning consciousness, and finally causing stroke, making the mouth and eyes crooked, half of the body, and sudden fainting, so maintaining a good mood is also very necessary for patients with hyperlipidemia, because patients with hyperlipidemia are easy to obstruct cerebral blood vessels due to atherosclerosis, resulting in local ischemia of the brain, causing cerebral infarction. Maintaining a relaxed mind can also prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction to a certain extent.
Second, pay attention to diet, high blood lipids are usually a problem to eat, due to the intake of too many sterols or sugars, can not be metabolized and decomposed in time, resulting in an increase in blood lipids in the body, when reducing the intake of high-sugar and high-oil food, it can effectively improve the situation of high blood lipids, and at the same time, we should also pay attention to eating some foods that can assist in lowering blood lipids, such as bitter gourd, etc., to help control blood lipids, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Lao Liu's doctor emphasized the importance of changing the dietary structure like Lao Liu, so Lao Liu can avoid the intake of high-oil and high-sugar foods such as barbecue milk tea, and start to eat less and more meals, and pay attention to eating breakfast to avoid the increase in blood lipid concentration caused by the fasting environment. There was no more dizziness and headache, and the whole person seemed full of energy and vitality.
