Annual Checkup might save your life!

Do you know why do people take care of their cars more than their bodies? They schedule a service even when their cars are running without any problems. Yet, I see a lot of them, that they don’t schedule a medical checkup. Sometimes, they delay seeing a doctor for years, if they don’t have any symptoms. Remember, your car, can only last you 10 or 15 years. On the other hand, your body might last you 80 to 90 years, even without warranty, so please try to protect your body well. The medical checkup should be done once a year. The purpose of it, is to do different tests to discover potential diseases, either silent in origin, or in its early stages. One of the silent diseases, which is commonly found during a routine physical exam, is high Blood Pressure. which we call it, the silent killer. The other one is, high fasting blood sugar, indicating the presence of Diabetes. Another test done, is the lipid profile which might show low HDL the Good Cholesterol, and high LDL the bad cholesterol, indicating the presence of high cholesterol in the blood. All these 3 diseases are considered a major risk factors for heart attacks. So, discovering them early and treating them aggressively, can prevent this serious condition. Another test we do routinely during the checkup, is an Ultrasound of the whole abdomen. One patient came for a routine checkup without any complaints, all his tests results were normal except the presence of 3 cm right kidney mass on the ultrasound. further tests confirmed the presence of a kidney cancer. After its surgical removal, it was found that the cancer was in the early stage and the cure rate was high. During the checkup, the mammogram can pick up a breast cancer in its early stages. Another test done, is the chest Xray. I remember a patient who was a heavy smoker, came for a checkup without any symptoms. Unfortunately, the chest X-ray showed a lung cancer, in the size of a tennis ball. Finally, I hope I shared some good information about the importance of the yearly checkup. I want to remind you that taking care of your body is even more important than taking care of your car. Discovering and treating different illnesses, in the early stages can prevent a lot of complications or even your life. And as you know prevention is the best medicine. https://www.amerhelbaoui.com Video shot and edited by: Fadi Helbaoui   / fadihelbaoui
