Recommended Medical Tests for Ensuring Overall Health

Q: What medical tests should I get to ensure I am healthy? A: Everyone needs a Calcium CT, sleep study, genetic screen, and hormone check. A calcium CT scan will reveal plaque buildup in the arteries. This determines whether you are at risk for a heart attack or stroke. If you notice plaque buildup, you can begin an anti-inflammatory regimen to minimize plaque adhesion or receive a stint. Relying on cholesterol statistics is not a smart idea because I have seen dozens of people with "bad" cholesterol have minimal plaque and those with incredibly "good" cholesterol numbers need emergency care with their plaque.
