What Is Hypercholesterolemia?
5. Symptoms
People with hypercholesterolemia will show no symptoms. In some ways this is not a good thing because it means the patient is unlikely to seek treatment. In the meantime, the condition can get gradually worse without the patient being aware of it. They may not know a thing until they develop a serious problem.
This means that it is a good idea to get regular check-ups. Lipid panel tests are readily available and will help check for the levels of cholesterols and other fats in your blood. However, in cases of familial hypercholesterolemia, the condition will often be diagnosed when the patient is still young.
