10 Hyperlipidemia Symptoms
Symptom #10: Symptoms of a Stroke
Anyone can have a stroke but those with hyperlipidemia have a higher risk. Higher fat levels in the blood will have a negative effect on the entire body, including to the arteries of the brain, which can get clogged leading to a stroke.
Stroke symptoms that one should be aware of are sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arms, or legs, sudden confusion and difficulty speaking, difficulty understanding speech, vision problems in one or both eyes, sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of coordination, and loss of balance. As hyperlipidemia is often asymptomatic, a stroke could be the event that diagnoses it.
