When the blood lipid concentration is too high, the lipid will deposit on the blood vessel wall and invade the intima of the blood vessel. Long-term deposition will lead to the proliferation of fibrous tissue on the arterial wall, the thickening and hardening of the arterial wall, and the narrowing of the vascular lumen, that is, atherosclerotic lesions have occurred. If the coronary artery supplying blood to the heart is hardened and the vascular lumen is severely narrowed, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia and other problems will occur.
2, insufficient blood supply to the brain:
If high levels of blood lipids continue to accumulate on the cerebral vascular wall, arterial plaques will form. Once the plaque ruptures, a large number of emboli are formed, which leads to insufficient oxygen supply or blood supply to the brain, leading to an "ischemic stroke" with insufficient blood supply to the brain. If the vascular wall becomes hard and brittle due to vascular fiber hyperplasia, and the blood vessel breaks, it will also lead to bleeding problems.
3, indigestion, constipation, abdominal pain:
Atherosclerosis caused by high blood lipid level can actually affect the whole body. If it affects the intestinal artery and causes intestinal artery thrombosis, it may lead to indigestion, constipation, abdominal pain and even intestinal wall necrosis.
4, lower limb numbness:
If the blood flow in the arteries of the lower limbs is not smooth because of blood viscosity, numbness of the lower limbs will occur, and symptoms of pain or spasm will occur when walking.
5, vision loss:
Viscous blood, which involves insufficient blood supply to the eyes, will lead to decreased vision and even blindness.
Second, the prevention of hyperlipidemia needs attention: 1, eat more high-fiber foods:
As the skeleton of feces, fiber can absorb a lot of lipids, thus reducing the level of blood lipids. Strawberries, grapes, broccoli and celery are all high-fiber foods.
2. Eat less foods rich in saturated fatty acids:
Pork, chicken and other meats and animal viscera are rich in saturated fatty acids, which will lead to an increase in blood cholesterol levels. Patients with high fat should pay attention to eating less of these foods.
Besides eating more fruits and vegetables, eat less high-fat food. People with hyperlipidemia need to increase physical exercise, eat reasonably and work regularly, which is also very helpful for hyperlipidemia.
