Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, when my mother had a health check-up, her blood lipids were high, and her triglycerides were also high. The doctor told her that she should pay attention, otherwise it would be easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. My mother is very worried. I am also very worried for her. I would like to ask the doctors, what should be done about high blood lipids?Doctor's answer:
Triglycerides are a type of blood lipid. Excessively high levels can lead to atherosclerosis, repeated occurrence of blood vessel stenosis, and frequent insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. They can also cause pancreatitis. It is recommended to consult with the hospital's internal medicine department for follow-up. Medications to lower blood lipids should be used under the guidance of a physician, with regular follow-up checks. Pay attention to dietary control in daily life, eat less greasy meat, and consume more vegetables and fruits. Strengthen exercise.
