What are the symptoms of hyperlipidemia?

Over the last few months I have been getting symptoms similar to a hangover: Dehydration (feeling thirsty all the time, especially on waking up in the morning), Tinnitus, increasing myopia, mild (background) headaches, some dizziness and short-term memory loss. The tinnitus I have had for several years. Tinnitus, myopia, headaches are mainly on the left side. I also have started getting symptoms of upper back ache when standing, primarily on the right side. I have had Lipid panel, CBC, Urinalysis, BUN and Creatinin tests (attached). They indicate hyperlipidemia. My neuro said that this was probably the cause of all my symptoms. Now he is a very well respected figure in the wider community, but I have never heard of, nor can I find through research, anything that would suggest that hyperlipidemia would be responsible. The reason for seeing the neuro was that I was terrified that I might have a brain tumor/stroke or some other horrible infliction, so if it is hyperlipidemia, I'm actually quite happy, as it is something I can address.

I currently take NO medicines, the neuro wrote me up for Citicoline, but after a week I notice no change in anything. We agreed I would try to manage the hyperlipidemia through diet.

Does anyone have personal experience, or can point me to any information, relating to these symptoms? Namaste.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
