What is Dyslipidemia?
Dyslipidemia is a condition where there are abnormally high levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. This can significantly increase a person's risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious problems because of fatty buildup in the blood vessels, which can cause narrowing or blockage.
Typical Symptoms of Dyslipidemia
- Red or yellow skin lumps
- History of fatty deposits in the blood vessels
- Skin lumps
- Soft lump/s on skin
- Taking medication for high blood pressure
- Abnormal cholesterol levels
- Weight gain of 22lbs/10kg or more after the age of 20
- I am overweight
Diagnostic Questions for Dyslipidemia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have yellow or red lumps/bumps on your skin?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with arteriosclerosis?
- Have you noticed any lumps on your skin?
- Do you have a soft lump under your skin?
- Are you on blood pressure medication?
Treatment of Dyslipidemia
To treat dyslipidemia and reduce the risk of complications, doctors often recommend a combination of diet changes, exercise, and medication to lower cholesterol.
