You wouldn't run a business without checking your KPIs, so why treat your body any differently? Knowing your 'Normal' is the first step in preventative health. Which of these parameters do you think is the most underrated for long-term health?

Good one.
These vitals are essential for healthy living

the blood pressure should also be a range and a body temperature of above 37.3 is already high

Interesting, good health is importanta📌💯🙌

Let those in the medical field confirm this,a lot of info on Internet presently, both correct and wrong.

Leave this for the professionals, certain medications increases some of these parameters. Don't commonalize The Medical Profession.

Nice.
That's when one is normal and healthy.

Nice out there.health they say is wealth

Health is the most underrated thing on earth.

Nice thread ! From the OP. 👍🏾👍🏾
Good

Na wetin medical schools dey teach you download give us so.

Expecting a BP of 120/80 being constant is like expecting a presidential candidate in Nigeria to be consistent while on a campaign.

How much will this text cost in ikj

On the high and low
Let's have your opinion

Thank you so much for this post. I really appreciate it

Most parameters not standard, blood sugar test interpretation depends on the test kit used,it varies according to manufacturer

Excellent 👍. I pray people will read this and follow.

Watching my health is a goal for me this yr
Nice one

Most of these parameters are in ranges. They are not spot figures

An average nigeria does not have resources and time for these things.

This is so helpful. Thank you

Although I am not a medical expert, but I think body weight and location matters too.

Tinubu should quickly go for his medical check up that fall was destructive

Health parameters have range therefore their is a " standard" ..

BP for instance is 120/80 .... whether ur Bp monitor is made in china or made in Us ...they are designed to project readings sometimes you just guage with discretion .. so far the increase is less than 10 sym/dia its okay
i uses BP cos that is the only one people mostly do at home by themselves

others test are run at med lab .... the readings are accurate and you will see reference range i.e standard

130/70 for blood pressure. I ran my body temperature yesterday at the hospital and it read 33/38 I can't recall and the doctor was like it's pretty high. I contacted influenza it was so bad that my head was so heavy 🪨 can't even move it.
I was stabilized ; given some vitamins; painkillers through infusion and they ran x-ray; ekg at the end at no cost.
The doctor came to me and said and I quote:
My mission for you today is to make sure you got stabilized; I will send a nurse to bring you hospital food and water; when your drip is finished and you still feel headache I will prescribe another one but you will go home today at no cost.
I was like all this things at no cost. My brothers and sisters make Europe happen to good people of Nigeria. Amen.

36.6 to 37.2 is the correct range of temperature. 37.5 is high temperature.

To check all those things could cost 500k-1m

Can an average Nigerian afford such?

The only thing I check regularly is my BP and sugar level (every 2 weeks or a month)

Kidney function, twice a year, HIV and hepatitis twice a year

Try and be in Church tomorrow, reject any voice trying to keep you away from the congregation of brethren.

See you in church

I do think a lot of these vary from race to race.

BP for example, black men (and women) can cope and effectively work as normal with so called higher BP for extended periods.

Same as the PSA thing for black men, it can be high and still not be a sign of prostrate issues unlike in other races.

did you use the digital or clinical method to check? At what time of the day did you check?

I checked in a hospital, in the morning 9-11am.

when writing results for blood sugar test the range is written in brackets to guide the doctor
Different test kits have different ranges
Accucheck range is different from other reagents strips
