See a Cardiologist

My sister is already 57 years old and as getting older she started some body pains, headache and high blood pressure and she's having cyanosis of her nailbeds. I have decided to accompany her to see a cardiologist immediately. We went to Makati Medical to consult a doctor at once. The doctor is a lady specializing in heart diseases. She did ECG (Electro Cardio Gram) because she had also noticed the bluish discoloration of the tip of her fingers and feet and nailbeds. We just thank God that the ECG result is normal and she happily said that my sister has no Ischemia of her heart. She can't give an initial diagnosis yet but she ordered so many kinds of laboratory blood examination, Xray and ultrasound of his heart to search the causes of all the symptoms manifesting by my sister. Laboratory procedures, X ray and ultrasound coast more or less 18 thousand pesos. Doctor's fee and medicines and treatment is not yet included. High prices of medical procedures, medications and treatment now adays are too expensive that is the reason why poorer people like me does not want to seek medical attention. I just trying all my best to take care of my health because i am afraid of medical expenses. I'll get sick more.

I agree with you. The less fortunates are having difficulties in finding means to make both ends meet, let alone medical treatments.

With regards to your sister, just remind her that her health is more important than anything else.

Happy Thurday afternoon to you!
