General Check-Up, Medical Examination, or Consultation
At Rajhans’ Heart & Diabetes Clinic, our GPs provide comprehensive general health check-ups tailored to your needs. These assessments may include a review of your personal and family medical history, height and weight measurements, and a blood pressure check to ensure your overall well-being.
During your visit, the doctor may also:
- Examine your eyes, ears, and throat.
- Test your cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
- Perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) to record your heart’s electrical activity if you’re at risk of heart disease.
- Suggest a chest X-ray if you’re a heavy smoker.
If you have specific concerns, such as a family history of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or stroke, you are encouraged to discuss them with your doctor for a more focused evaluation.

Understanding the Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG is a simple, non-invasive test that records your heart’s electrical activity. During the test:
- Electrode patches are attached to your skin to detect the electrical impulses produced by your heart.
- The results are displayed as a trace, which your doctor will interpret.
This test can help identify previous heart attacks, irregular heart rhythms, or other heart-related issues.
At Rajhans’ Heart & Diabetes Clinic, we are dedicated to providing thorough medical check-ups to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and address any concerns promptly.
