Lipid disorders are problems with the various forms of fat that are carried in the bloodstream.
Abnormal lipid levels in the blood can be caused by genetic factors, lifestyle factors, or a combination.
Lipid disorders contribute to atherosclerosis, or the buildup of fatty streaks and cholesterol-laden plaque in the walls of the heart's arteries.
High cholesterol is a lipid disorder. Physicians use the term lipid disorder to describe several conditions in which high concentrations of lipids (fats) exist in the bloodstream.
Symptoms: Chest pain; Muscle pain; and Muscle weakness from ischemia (blood flow that is insufficient to provide enough oxygen).
Other Answers:
You should be on a few medications. . . maybe lipitor or other "statin" like Zocor, and coumadin, aspirin or plavix to help to thin the blood. It sounds like you are at very high risk of having an heart attack or stroke. LDLs are a type of fat in the blood that doesn't stick together well. This is bad because there are lots of small pieces of fat floating around just waiting to clog an artery. Stay close to your doctor.
