When Liu Qiang walked through the hospital gates, he didn't expect to get a disturbing diagnosis.
As an IT engineer in his 40s, he has always thought that he is in good health, and although he has been feeling dizzy lately, he has occasionally experienced headaches and tinnitus, but he has not paid much attention to it.
Until a physical examination, the doctor told him that his blood lipid level was abnormally high, Liu Qiang was a little surprised, he asked the doctor: "I usually pay attention to my diet and exercise regularly, how can I have high blood lipids?"
"Dyslipidemia is not always directly related to diet and exercise, genetic factors, age, stress, etc. can all contribute to elevated blood lipids," the doctor explains. And the dizziness, headache and tinnitus you mentioned are likely to be the alarm bells of high blood lipids. "
Only then did Liu Qiang realize the seriousness of the matter. He began to think carefully about his lifestyle, although he has always paid attention to a healthy diet, he has a lot of work pressure, often stays up late and overtime, and the quality of sleep is very poor, he asked the doctor, "So what should I do now?"
The doctor advised him to improve his lifestyle habits, eat a reasonable diet, exercise moderately, and take lipid-regulating drugs if necessary.
At the same time, the doctor also emphasized the importance of regular check-ups: "Hyperlipidemia is a chronic disease that requires long-term management. Make it a habit to have regular check-ups and closely monitor changes in your blood lipid levels. "
Liu Qiang nodded, he realized that he had to pay attention to it, and he began to adjust his lifestyle, arrange work and rest time reasonably, insist on exercising, and take lipid-regulating drugs prescribed by doctors.
Slowly, his symptoms eased and his blood lipid levels gradually normalized.
Liu's experience is not unique. In our daily life, many people are faced with the problem of high blood lipids. According to statistics, the prevalence of hyperlipidemia in mainland adults is as high as 40%, and a large proportion of them have no obvious symptoms and are easy to be ignored.
Dizziness, headaches, and tinnitus are some of the common manifestations of hyperlipidemia, and when blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels are too high, it can lead to an increase in blood viscosity and affect blood circulation, causing these symptoms.
If not intervened in time, hyperlipidemia may lead to serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
To prevent and control hyperlipidemia, we need to start with lifestyle, pay attention to controlling total calories in diet, reduce the intake of saturated fat and trans fat, and eat more high-fiber foods such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
At the same time, it is necessary to insist on regular exercise, ensure adequate sleep, and for people who have been diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, they also need to take medication according to the doctor's instructions, have regular check-ups, and closely monitor changes in blood lipid levels.
In short, hyperlipidemia is by no means a small problem, it may silently threaten our health, if the head has dizziness, headache, tinnitus and other symptoms, we should pay more attention, go to the hospital for examination in time, do not take it lightly.
Only by establishing the health concept of prevention first, combining prevention and treatment, and developing a healthy lifestyle, can we stay away from the problem of hyperlipidemia and embrace a healthy life.
