Many common conditions — high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid problems — can develop silently. By the time symptoms appear, the condition may already be advanced. Regular check-ups help find problems early, when they are easiest to manage.
Simple checks worth doing regularly
- Blood pressure – at least once a year for adults, more often if advised.
- Blood sugar – especially if diabetes runs in your family, you are overweight or over 40.
- Lipid profile – to understand your cholesterol and heart risk.
- Complete blood count – to look for anaemia and infections.
- Thyroid profile – if you have unexplained weight change, tiredness or menstrual changes.
Everyday habits that help
- Eat more vegetables, pulses and whole grains; cut down on sugar, salt and fried food.
- Walk or exercise for about 30 minutes most days.
- Do not smoke or chew tobacco, and limit alcohol.
- Sleep well and manage stress.
When to see a doctor
Do not wait for a check-up if you notice persistent fever, chest pain, breathlessness, sudden weakness, unexplained weight loss or any symptom that worries you — see a doctor promptly. In an emergency, call 108.
