What Is Hyperlipidemia?
4. Symptoms
Hyperlipidemia doesn’t cause any symptoms, and the vast majority of people with the condition are undiagnosed. This might sound like a good thing, but it can in fact be deadly. This is because people don’t know that they have it, and it can get gradually worse, until the point where potentially life-threatening complications occur.
Most of the time, people discover they have hyperlipidemia after a routine check-up. At other times, it will be discovered when doctors are taking tests to look for symptoms of other medical conditions. If you fall into a high risk category then you should go for regular check-ups to be on the safe side.
