Hello, my husband has been working very hard for three years, including nights and weekends. At that time, he did not do any medical examinations or visit a doctor at all. He trains many sports and is generally in very good shape, he is 36 years old. Despite this, he has very severe headaches (during his studies he had all the tests that showed nothing), and recently nose bleeds and stomach pains. I would like to ask for a list of tests that I should send him for and the results of which I could "force" him to see a doctor. I do not mean any detailed tests, but rather general ones, on the basis of which the primary care physician could already determine if everything is fine and whether he should do some additional tests.
Hello, In the case of recurring headaches and nosebleeds, the most important thing is to measure your blood pressure several times at home. When measuring pressure, in addition to the values of systolic and diastolic pressure, note the time of the measurement and any accompanying circumstances - nervousness, headache, etc. As for the tests, it is advisable to perform the general he alth assessment: blood count with smear, ESR, urinalysis, chest X-ray, ECG, blood sugar test, lipid profile, GOT, GPT (tests to check liver function), creatinine and electrolytes . If the husband works a lot, the so-called tension headaches for people working under time pressure or the need to get results. However, it is imperative to check with your doctor for other reasons.
