I am doing my 2nd medical check up of the year right now.... even though I am not really feeling sick

We’ve read repeatedly of young people slumping to death. We see multiple comments urging Nigerians to exercise, eat moderately, rest and perform routine checkups.

It is easy to type “Kip(sic) fit” and call it a day. How many of you actually keep to your recommendation?

When last did you go for a routine checkup? When next will you go? Is it a way of life for you?

at some point we all going to die regardless, this not ignorance just fact.
I agree with the fact, but it's better to know when something is going wrong within, so it can be corrected.

This is exactly the mindset that I want to kill. Ignorance is bliss until you catch a random panic attack or heart attack.

Just once this year. Procrastination is a bad thing. Missed 2nd quarter but won't miss this 3rd quarter.
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 1:52pm On Aug 13
I don’t do “at least.” A full medical checkup is required. Those two are mere scratching the surface. A forty year old Nigerian who has never gone for a checkup will miss many signs of poor health if he/she employs the least option.

Bluna:
At least if don't do much checkup, we should from time to time do Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar test.

Heart failure is more expensive than daily meals in the long run. We all know how products have skyrocketed in prices. Imagine being on routine medication because man never chop belleful so he no enter hospital.

VoiceHenshaw27:
Na who chop Belle full dey go Hospital my Brother. Many Nigerian couldn't afford even a Square meal talk more of medical check up.
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 1:56pm On Aug 13

And as it is appointed unto men once to die.

something must kill a man, if you like dey live inside hospital
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 1:59pm On Aug 13
Good job. Please recommend the procedure to everyone you know. I would’ve been ignorant like most if not for my current job. I’ve undergone routine checkups for seven years and counting. Everybody I tell in the real world only spouts the response “something must kill a man” or “you don chop belleful, na why.”

jordyspices:
Very important but trust me is very expensive at least I do my kidney and liver function test at least every 6 months
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 2:00pm On Aug 13
This is the attitude I want to see every Nairaland member adopt. I don’t understand why many are content in ignorance.

telim:
I often taken myself to the lab for full blood work Every 6 months. Heart health once per year.
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 2:00pm On Aug 13
It is needed for everyone. Please make it a routine.

DeltaBachelor:
Hmmmm. Thanks for reminding me
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 2:01pm On Aug 13
I’ve never heard of this. I will ask during my next checkup.

telim:
pls include ultra sound especially for your liver most liver issues are picked up by your blood at a later stage.
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 2:01pm On Aug 13
Suit yourself. At least I gave the awareness.

correctguy101:

High blood pressure kills.. very important that one must know it blood pressure

Hospital phobia took three of my uncles out. One of them had an open sore in his leg from a staph infection and refused to go for treatment, claiming that doctors wanted to harvest his organs. He died at forty-six years old with six children — all minors — who had to fend for their mother.

Ibehchizzy:
We have phobias for hospitals

Exactly the mindset I want to kill. At least you read the topic and understood the content. I have tried.

ravensckar:
I never chop belle full, you dey tell me of medical check-up.

Between hunger and disease, which one kills faster? huh huh

Nigerian hospitals that are notorious for creating issues where none existed. Na me go come let one "junior technician" use my body learn work.

Abegi! I no do!

In Nigeria, those are the major issues. Diabetes, common from our high carbohydrate diet, goes straight for those before any other organs. A full medical checkup is recommended. Those two organs require constant supervision because people over twenty-five years of age always know of failing kidney cases.

michael132:
Everbody keep mentioning kidney and liver ... Its not only kidney n liver problem that cause sudden death ..
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by translux(m): 2:09pm On Aug 13
Stomach Checkup didn't allow me to do a Medical Checkup, but in all honesty my last Checkup was done about 35 years ago.
Re: When Last Did You Go For A Medical Checkup? by eepeepook(op): 2:15pm On Aug 13
If I told you a car will knock you down if you venture out this evening, would you come out of your gate? “To be forewarned is to be forearmed.” Una fit quote plenty. Putting things into practice is where you all fail.

If told that your heart is failing, won’t you start brisk walking to correct the situation? I had a friend who was told he was suffering from fatty liver syndrome. My guy threw away all his bottles of liquor, started walking daily then signed up for a gym before the month ended. Today, he is at a healthy weight, routinely exercises and is happily married. If he kept the mindset of “the worry kills,” he would’ve been six feet underground with many stories of “he could’ve been xyz if not for medical issues.”

Ayobeck:
One thing about check up is once they tell you , your prob then hypertension don come .. nah the results self go kill the person no more the sickness itself. Is just like when you first resume to higher institution, exam institution nah first hypertension, when the info pass that the result we be out so so so date another high hypertension, when you hear the results have been posted, 😂 another higher hypertension, when you check the result yourself 😂😆😆 nah highest hypertension..

don't quote me wrong checking out health is important, but if u know get mind don't check it lead to thinking after the result have been delivered to u, next thing is high blood pressure. 😆[/color][color=#006600]
