Hi everyone,
I´d like to say again very important information for you. Probably, each one of you know some medical tests. Only for short memorizing, these medical tests can include blood pressure checkups, blood profile tests, urine specimens or ecocardiograms. More details:

Let´s go to main points:
1. Write down all significant illnesses, as well as the dates you had them.
2.Write down if you have a family history of cancer, heart attack, angina, bypass surgery, stroke....
3. Bring a list of all current medications that you're taking.
4. Have your photo ID handy.
5. If you need an oversized blood pressure cuff, be sure to let the nurse know this in advance. Large-scale cuffs are usually needed for individuals who have a heavy build and / or have very large upper arms.
6. Avoid alcohol the day of the examination and limit the amount of caffeine.
7. Avoid heavy exercises, especially contact sports, prior to your test. It's best if you allow a gap of at least 24 hours.
8. If you're pregnant, inform the examiner, as this will help the underwriter to better interpret the laboratory results.
9. If you are in significant pain (a severe tooth ache, migraine), are suffering from a viral illness, or have a fever,...
10. Drink lots of water prior to your exam to facilitate the urine sample and for an easier blood draw.
