Q: in the unit physical examination, many young and middle-aged people found hyperlipidemia, but do not want to take medicine to control what to do?

A: looking at the physical examination report, people pay close attention to the three highs: blood pressure, blood lipids and cholesterol, and pay little attention to the index of low density lipoprotein. In fact, it is more closely related to stroke. If we don't pay attention and make early intervention, even if you are young, a stroke will come to you. Nowadays, the number of patients with stroke at the age of 40 or 50 is increasing, so even if they are very young but the physical examination shows that they have hyperlipidemia and high low density lipoprotein, they should go to the hospital in time. If the condition is slight, they can be controlled by diet for 2-3 months first. Improve your lifestyle and strengthen exercise. If the result is not satisfactory, you should listen to the doctor to take lipid-lowering drugs, otherwise it will cause arteriosclerosis, vascular obstruction and so on. These are closely related to cardio-cerebrovascular events.
