So, for us who drive cars, isn’t it all the more important to do a detailed medical checkup of your own health condition?  How to choose a medical checkup?  First of all, we should screen for hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and various tumors. For example, for people over 20 years old, we should ask them whether they have a family history of hypertension, whether they smoke, drink alcohol, eat a diet high in salt, work under stress, have dizziness, headaches and vertigo, etc. In addition, we can do an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, fasting blood sugar, lipids, homocysteine and other tests to determine whether they have risk factors for hypertension. For women, it is important to screen for cervical cancer over the age of 21. In short, there are different target diseases for people of different age levels, so it is important to visit the health management department or medical examination department of the hospital for consultation.  How to deal with the problems found in physical examination Many people, after physical examination, take the examination report and ask the doctor, my transaminase has 80 several, what kind of disease do I have? First of all. We need to understand that a physical examination and a visit to a doctor are not the same. A physical examination reveals that transaminases are elevated, it may be caused by hepatitis B or fatty liver, and it must be determined after a thorough examination.  What happens when a disease has been diagnosed?  We say that it is unfortunate that a person has a disease, but it is even more unfortunate if you do not face it and do not treat it. For example, if you are diagnosed with hepatitis B, you must go to a hepatologist and choose the right treatment plan to avoid cirrhosis and liver cancer.
