A Total Health Check is an extensive evaluation of your overall health status. It typically includes a combination of tests, screenings, and consultations to assess various aspects of your health, including:
- Blood Tests: A range of blood tests to assess key indicators such as cholesterol levels, glucose levels, liver function, kidney function, and more.
- Blood Pressure Measurement: Monitoring your blood pressure to identify any signs of hypertension or cardiovascular issues.
- Cholesterol Testing: Evaluating your cholesterol levels to assess your risk of heart disease and guide necessary lifestyle or dietary adjustments.
- Glucose Testing: Measuring your blood glucose levels to monitor your risk of diabetes and manage blood sugar levels effectively.
- BMI Calculation: Assessing your Body Mass Index (BMI) to evaluate your weight in relation to your height and identify any potential issues with obesity or underweight.
- General Health Assessment: Reviewing your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any symptoms you may be experiencing to provide a comprehensive health overview.
