Urgent care and the silent
killer
You can need urgent care and be completely unaware of it. Urgent care
centers are the ideal place to get diagnostic testing that can help you
understand why you may need immediate care.
- One of the best things you could do for yourself is to walk in to an urgent care clinic and get your blood pressure checked.
- They call high blood pressure the “silent killer” because many people never even know that they have it until they suffer a debilitating stroke or heart attack.
- We want to help you fully appreciate why doctors make such a fuss about diagnostic tests and lab results.
- If your umbers are too far out of line, you could be hypertensive, or diabetic for years, and never know it.
- It is rather remarkable that the interpretation of just a few health numbers can help you achieve better health and lengthen your life.
The numbers that we all should be concerned about are as follows:
- Weight
- Body mass index
- Blood pressure
- Blood glucose level
- Heart rate
- Cholesterol levels
