Want to take control of your health? Read on and find out why regular doctor visits are important…
When you’re a parent, you’ve always got a million and one things to worry about. Choosing the right breast pump, finding fun (yet educational) things to do over the weekend, and raising the kids to be decent human beings – it never ends! Unfortunately, because we’re too preoccupied with the nitty gritty, we tend to ignore what should be near the top of our neverending to-do list: our own health. We get it, it isn’t easy to take time off work and parenting to pay the doctor a visit but the experts at AsiaMedic CHI say that it’s time to step up, take care of our health and make that appointment. Here’s why:
To stay on top of your health
Just like your car needs a regular oil check and tune-up, so does your body. A visit to the doctor will ensure that all is good, inside and out. The doctor will monitor your basic vital signs (like your heart rate and blood pressure) to make sure that everything is in tip-top shape. You’ll also find out if you have any (knock on wood) underlying diseases including high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
And let’s talk about vaccines: chances are your kids your kids are all up to date, but how about you? See your doctor and get your booster shots! We don’t have to tell you that vaccinations can help prevent serious diseases. Remember, prevention is better than cure!
To check if you’re at risk
Does anyone in your immediate family have diabetes, heart disease, cancer or high cholesterol? If the answer is yes then all the more reason to keep on top of your health. A quick trip to the doctor can help you assess what you need to do to prevent potential hereditary risks from happening. How? AsiaMedic CHI will get you to fill in a quick questionnaire and then determine which screening tests will be most beneficial.
To skip those expensive hospital and A&E visits
Although it may only occur to you to only see the doctor when you’re sick, getting screened and having regular check-ups could prevent hospitalisation. Why? Because you’ll get a head’s up on what’s going on with your body before a nasty lurker rears its head! Waiting too long to see a doctor or failing to recognise certain symptoms could lead to a trip to the A&E or a stay in hospital – yikes!
This Lunar New Year, we say get ahead of your health game and get yourself screened! The friendly physicians at AsiaMedic CHI have recently made the move to Shaw House – which means bigger and better facilities! You’ll still get primary care for the whole family but you’ll also get radiology services too – which means no long waiting times and inconvenient referrals.
Remember, health is wealth. Book your appointment at AsiaMedic CHI today!
