Common Causes of Hyperlipidemia
Several factors can contribute to high cholesterol, and many patients experience more than one at a time. Identifying these causes allows your care provider to recommend the most effective treatment for your health.
Poor Diet
Eating foods high in saturated and trans fats can raise LDL cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease.
A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher can make it harder for the body to manage cholesterol effectively.
Inactivity
Lack of regular physical activity can lower HDL cholesterol and affect overall heart health.
Smoking
Cigarette use damages blood vessels and lowers good cholesterol, making it easier for plaque to build up.
Age
While hyperlipidemia can occur at any age, it’s more common in adults over 40 as the body becomes less efficient at clearing LDL cholesterol.
Chronic Illnesses
Conditions like diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and hypothyroidism can increase the risk of high cholesterol.
Family History
Having a family history of hyperlipidemia or heart disease may make you more likely to develop the condition.
What Symptoms Does Hyperlipidemia Cause?
High cholesterol typically doesn’t cause obvious symptoms, which means many patients only discover it through routine screenings. Read the Wikipedia article about Hyperlipidemia. When hyperlipidemia goes untreated, it can contribute to serious cardiovascular issues that may cause:
- Chest pain or discomfort (angina).
- Shortness of breath.
- Heart attack.
- Stroke.
- Pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs or arms (peripheral artery disease).
- Fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance.
