The formation of hyperlipidemia is a very complex physiological process, simply related to the dysregulation of lipid metabolism. Disorders in lipid metabolism are related to some diseases, common ones include diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, liver damage, and gallbladder disease. These diseases can cause increased blood lipids. It is also directly related to an unreasonable dietary structure. Consuming foods that are high in calories and cholesterol, which exceed the body's needs, can lead to increased blood lipids. Examples include animal organs and some high-cholesterol seafood, excessive intake of which can lead to hyperlipidemia.

Can hyperlipidemia cause dizziness?

Hyperlipidemia can cause symptoms of dizziness. In addition to dizziness, if it leads to arteriosclerosis, patients may also experience discomfort in the precordial area, such as chest tightness and chest pain. If arteriosclerosis occurs in the lower limb arteries, some patients may also develop intermittent claudication. Therefore, hyperlipidemia is a very dangerous risk factor. It can lead to coronary heart disease, angina, cerebral infarction, and even pancreatitis, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and other severe problems. For patients with hyperlipidemia, it is crucial to actively lower blood lipids, persist in exercising and losing weight, and maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet. Only by effectively controlling hyperlipidemia can we better prevent the development of arteriosclerosis.

What exercise should be done every day for hyperlipidemia?

People with high blood lipids, if they do not have significant heart or lung disease, can participate in some aerobic exercises: such as swimming, tennis, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and square dancing. These exercises are aerobic and can help with weight loss. Exercise can consume excess body fat and lower blood lipids. It also enhances heart vitality, improves vascular elasticity, increases blood flow, and increases lung capacity, enhancing physical resistance and overall physical fitness, which can also help to reduce blood lipids.
