Family history of hyperlipidemia, history of dyslipidemia, high-fat diet and other bad eating habits can all be considered as hyperlipidemia.
For friends with relevant medical history, besides adjusting their daily eating habits, they should also pay attention to blood lipid examination.
The early symptoms of hyperlipidemia are not obvious, such as forgetfulness, decreased physical strength, restless sleep, chest tightness and shortness of breath, dizziness and brain swelling, yellow warts on the eyes, dark spots on the skin, blurred vision and other discomfort.
The latter four are usually related to the complications of hyperlipidemia, and it is necessary to seek medical attention in time when the above situation occurs.
① Cardiovascular problems: patients with coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, stable angina pectoris, revascularization, stroke and peripheral vascular diseases.
② Patients at risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes, smoking and alcoholism.

④ Others: men over 40 years old, postmenopausal women, people with bad living habits, and people with xanthoma of skin.
Four blood lipid tests: including triglyceride, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Whether there are chylous particles in plasma.
Lipoprotein test: Determine whether you have hyperlipidemia by measuring the values of HDL (high density lipoprotein) and LDL (low density lipoprotein).
Healthy people over 20 years old: check fasting blood lipid at least once every 5 years;
Men and menopausal women over 40 years old: check their blood lipids at least once a year;
Combined with ischemic cardiovascular disease and its high-risk population: check blood lipid every 3-6 months;
Those who use lipid-lowering drugs: once every 1-2 months after taking the drug for the first time, once every 2-3 months thereafter, and once every 6- 12 months after reaching the standard.
Diet: Eat more vegetables, fruits, beans and coarse grains.
