Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with hyperlipidemia characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol commonly experience symptoms such as leg cramps, numbness and weakness in the limbs, yellowish or reddish-brown plaques on the joints, headache, dizziness, and edema of the skin or eyelids. Upon noticing symptoms of hyperlipidemia, prompt medical evaluation and treatment—under a physician’s guidance—are essential to prevent disease progression, development of atherosclerosis, and associated risks to overall health.
