Hello, please describe your problem in detail, then only we'll be able to suggest the right doctor for you. You can call us on +91-8010994994 and talk to our medical expert.
You should see a doctor if your back pain lasts longer than a few weeks, is severe, or is accompanied by symptoms like fever, numbness, or weakness in the legs. Proper treatment is necessary if the pain follows an accident or injury.
Dear All, How are you measuring the BP? Any physical exertion before measuring? Kindly talk to our medical expert on 8010994994 for better assessment To diagnose hypertension your BP needs to be more than 120/80 in more than 3 occasions.

Yes. Your father is at higher risk of a heart attack. High cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in arteries and damaging blood vessels. Recommended tests are lipid tests, HbA1c, Electrocardiogram, Echocardiogram, Stress test and Coronary Calcium Score. You can book your appointment through our platform asap.
