 "Check-up" means: examination (Duden).

The health and physical condition should be checked if they have symptoms (such as pressure on the chest, breathing difficulties, etc.).symptoms (such as chest pressure, shortness of breath, pain, palpitations, diarrhea/constipation, muscle weakness, fatigue, weight gain, sensory disturbances in the hands or feet, etc.), or if you want to rule out unnoticed disorders.

Check is also indicated if you have a family history of certain diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases like high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, elevated cholesterol, gastrointestinal tumors and more) or unhealthy behaviors that could have health consequences (such as nicotine or overconsumption of nicotine or alcohol).

Some screening examinations are also recommended by medical associations for healthy people.

We will advise you on the necessary examinations, as well as health measures (such as eating habits, physical activity, etc.) to suit your situation.

Modern medicine offers many methods to check your state of health and the function of your organs.

The basis for the medical assessment is the detailed conversation, then the physical examination and is supplemented by blood/urine tests, as well as technical examination methods (such as cardisiography/ECG at rest, if necessary long-term ECG, ultrasound, pulmonary function test, X-ray, Doppler ultrasound of the peripheral vessels, ambulatory oxygen measurement during sleep) depending on the symptoms or if extended screening is desired.

If necessary, we will advise you on the necessary examinations by specialist doctors (such as cardiological assessment, gastrointestinal endoscopy, CT/MRI, etc.). We work together with experienced specialists in private practices and hospitals and refer you to them.
