Executive Health Screening - I'm getting the engine looked at...
I decided to get a complete and thorough medical check up. It's long overdue and I should have had it before I started all this madness (fun madness anyway). Prince Court Medical Centre is a relatively newish medical centre in KL and it boasts some of the best equipment in the country. They have a department called 'The Executive Health Screening Centre' which offers an extensive range of tests and screening and I chose what they call the 'Well Man Screening Package' (what a name). This package contains the following tests: Full blood count with PBF and ESR Unit ABO and RH typing Lipid profile Liver function test Glucose Renal profile Bone metabolism profile Free Thyroxine (FT4) Hepatitis B Screening Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Factor Alpha-feto-protein (AFP) VDRL (RPR) Uric acid Urine test Consultation and physical examination Vision Testing Pure Tone Audiometry Stress ECG (Treadmill) with report by cardiologist Lung Function Test Body fat analysis Chest x-ray with report Ultrasound Abdomen and Pelvis DEXA (2 region) (Bone screening of osteoporosis) Urine FEME Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Hepatitis C IgG Antibody Hepatitis A IgG HIV I & II Antibody Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) My appointment is tomorrow morning and I have to fast for 8 hours (getting hungry now). I have to admit I'm feeling a bit apprehensive about this which explains why I've delayed it for so long. I know that I'm not in the best shape and I'm just a little bit concerned about the findings. I am however excited about the Stress ECG on the Treadmill. I can finally determine exactly what my Maximum Heart Rate and can therefore train with more precision. I hope I'll be able to get through it with little or no drama. See here for the results of the medical check up...
