Symptoms of high triglycerides

For example, dizziness may be one of the manifestations of cerebral atherosclerosis, and chest tightness may be a sign of insufficient blood supply to the heart. Systemic arteriosclerosis can cause hypertension. These symptoms of high triglycerides are often confused with symptoms of other illnesses, so high triglycerides cannot be diagnosed by symptoms.

Mild to moderate: As a type of hyperlipidemia, the main harm of high triglycerides to the human body is mainly to cause atherosclerosis, blood vessel blockage and thrombosis; while atherosclerosis in the development stage People have no obvious feelings. But once arteriosclerosis develops into blood vessel blockage and thrombus formation, it can be fatal to people.

Therefore, in the mild and moderate stages, the symptoms of high triglycerides are not obvious. The patient may not feel it at all and only discover it unexpectedly during physical examination.

Severe: Severe here is relative to mild to moderate. When symptoms of high triglycerides gradually appear, it may have developed to the point where blood vessels are blocked and narrowed, affecting the body's blood flow supply and the body's internal blood supply. It is insufficient, so the high triglycerides have reached a more serious level at this time.
