Symptoms and treatment of fatty blood disease
Fatty blood is an extremely dangerous disease, leading to many serious consequences. How to detect the disease early and have timely treatment?
Symptoms of fatty blood disease
Fatty blood disease is almost always only discovered during routine health check-ups or some people only discover they have the disease when they see strange signs regularly.
In young people, the signs of the disease are often quite hidden and difficult to detect; but in the elderly, when suffering from fatty blood, there will be some clearer symptoms because at this time their health is no longer good and the appearance of some symptoms will be easier to detect, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Some symptoms of fatty blood disease that may appear when suffering from the disease include: dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, headache, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath... If the disease is in the final stage, signs of atherosclerosis, heart attack, high blood pressure will appear...
When the signs of the disease are detected and early treatment measures are taken by changing diet and exercising, the blood fat ratio will be significantly reduced. However, when the disease becomes more severe, the blood fat index is too high, the treatment will become much more difficult and take longer.
How to support treatment of fatty blood
For hyperlipidemia, you need to have regular check-ups and monitoring every 3-6 months, or every year, depending on your doctor's instructions.
Check your weight monthly. If you see signs of being overweight, you need to review your diet and exercise to reduce excess weight.
Exercise regimen: Choose a sport that you love and is suitable for your health and practice regularly.
You should maintain a regular exercise regimen of at least 30 minutes a day. The exercise time can be gradually increased depending on your ability.
You may need to take additional medication if you have tried diet and exercise but your blood fat levels are still high.
In addition, always keep blood fat levels at the most optimal level if you are suffering from diseases such as diabetes, chronic kidney failure, myocardial ischemia...
The duration of medication for people with high blood fat depends on whether you have any other diseases or what your indexes are. The usual course of treatment is from 4-8 weeks for people with high blood fat and no other diseases, or 3-6 months or from 6 months to 1 year for people with many different diseases at the same time.
Eliminate bad daily habits that make high blood fat worse such as smoking, drinking beer, alcohol, and substances containing high alcohol concentrations because when used, they will increase the amount of triglycerides in the blood.
The most important thing in treating hyperlipidemia is to adjust your diet appropriately and ensure the best results, avoiding eating too much saturated fat, which will make the condition worse.
