Why we need preventive health checkup

Every preventive health check up is necessary, usually people take these test at a regular intervals like 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. If the patient encounter any kind of problems in the present day with the help of medical history database the doctors can predict the possible problems etcs.,

Blood Pressure:

Blood pressure test is one of the crucial tests a human has to take regularly. Because the blood pressure tests help to identify that the person has any heart related problems. 

There are three organs in the human body which are considered the most important ones. Brain, Heart and lungs. Within a fraction of second everything will change for the person, there are high chances that the person might die too.

Blood pressure tests will measures the pressure in the arteries of the heart pumps. We all know around 80% of brain efforts are used to run our body and balance 20% of brain power is used to think and act. If you body organs are working good the balance 20% will work fine without any disturbance.

Here are the reasons why the blood pressure reading might give us a wrong numbers

• First and foremost is nervousness. If the person is very nervous doctors will postpone the blood pressure tests, nervousness is known as white coat syndrome. Usually 1 in 3 people will get affected with this issue. So whenever you go for a blood pressure test it’s our duty to stay calm and relaxed. 

• Usually blood pressure test after smoking, alcohol consumption, caffeine or exercise will give you mistake reading. Never do any activity while doing blood test. Be calm and relax for the next 30 mins and then take the blood pressure test. 

• We must have a normal posters while taking blood pressure test, too much of body action will give you bad results. Never fold your legs or raise your legs. Just stay calm.

Some of the criteria you must follow while taking blood tests

• Never drink or eat anything for the past 30 mins before blood pressure.

• Do not talk, because movement in your mouth will increase the thoughts of the brain and there are chances that your blood pressure might get increased.

Lipid Profile Test Packages:

Another most important test a human should take is when they are in their 30's to 40’s. The heart attack percentage in between 20 to 30 is just 0.1% but in the case of 30’s to 40’s the percentage has spiked in the past decade.

The reasons are because the disease has been seeing a spike in recent years because people work with motion is becoming less when compared with last decades.

Indians are getting heart attacks earlier, as per NABLreport. The numbers are becoming very different. They get heart attacks 10 years earlier than the previous generation. 

This number is awkward and gives us a sad moment.
