What's Unsatisfying - Waiting for another 2 weeks to go for a Blood Check at the General Hospital... duhh!!!
What Had To Be Done - I did not have the patience to wait for another 2 weeks. This is no simple matter. It is a matter of the Heart literally. There should be some seriousness there, shouldn't it? The hospital doesn't think so... And so, I went to the Johor Specialist Hospital and made an appointment with the well-known Cardiologist, Dr. Mohd Shahrom Ujang.
What I Went Through - 1st my Blood Sample was taken for a quick Cholesterol and Blood Test. Next, I had to provide a Urine Sample since I was also complaining about my Kidney Stone. Later I went for an Echo ECG.
What Was The Result - My BP came down to 115/80. Great! My cholesterol level went down to 4.2. Even better! But my Urine indicated traces of Blood and Infections. Had to bring back home a Huge Container to collect my 24-hour Urine Sample for the whole of Sunday until Monday Morning.
What's Next - I was asked by Dr. Shahrom to come again to his Clinic on Monday Morning. Apart from returning the 24-hour Urine Sample, they want to put a Holter Monitor on me for another 24 hours. A Holter Monitor is a portable device for continuously monitoring various electrical activity of the central nervous system for at least 24 hours. It is often used to monitor any abnormal Cardiac Activities in one's body. And the doctor went at length at even suggesting me to undergo an Angiogram Test, which would definitely cost me a bomb. That, I have to wait and check with my company's Insurance Coverage before I could say yes to all their recommendations and suggestions.
What's In My Mind - Serves me right for not looking after health much earlier during my younger and fitter days. I am now serving the sentence due to my own negligence. I pray to God continuously so that there will be a light down the tunnel that I am heading. Hopefully, there is a way, a cure to all the sickening symptoms that are consistently bothering me. Ya Allah... do look after me and give me the strength to overcome all the challenges in life.
