10 Hyperlipidemia Symptoms
Symptom #3: High Blood Pressure
Hyperlipidemia develops in cases when the levels of fats (lipids) in the blood are higher than they should. Having high levels of fats in the blood will have a negative effect on the human body, especially on the arteries, which can narrow or become blocked due to fat depositions, otherwise known as atherosclerotic plaques. When atherosclerosis develops, blood pressure will start to rise, besides other possible health problems that develop. High blood pressure is any blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg.
High blood pressure symptoms include a severe headache, chest pain, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, fatigue, confusion, and so on. Measuring the blood pressure regularly is necessary, as well as taking high blood pressure medications together with hyperlipidemia medications. Changing your lifestyle is also important to prevent serious health problems.
