I've just been to the government hospital, premium service. I still feel dizzy and I got a chest Xray, EKG and a thorough doctor's consultation all for 800 baht. I don't know why I still go to Bkk hospital, they are dreadful. The doctor I say at Hua Hin Hospital was very good and said all my blood tests are normal, as well as liver tests. Also chest Xray was clear, unlike at Bkk hosp, who told me I had asthma, then COPD, then emphysema. Summary, my pulse was only 41 when getting EKG. She wants to do more tests before investigating if it is a nervous system issue affecting the auto-regulation of the pulse and dizziness. If dizziness persists, might need 24 hour observation. So see the heart specialist at the premium centre in a month and also any further tests I can use my social insurance!

I think I do.

With SS, I can get yearly health checks, which I believe can't get under universal(formerly 30 baht) scheme. If I keep SS, my family can get money when I die. Also, I can choose my hospital.

I chose the lump sum after paying in 13 years. It was actually more but the other years seem to have got lost. I think I made the right choice as the 160k baht I received got me 1 Bitcoin which is now worth about 5 times more.

I just gave the SS my bank account and they take it off every month. Krung Thai bank.

They don't want it to work, they can't extort money from you if there is an app. Immigration officers pay millions of baht for their position and obviously they have to get the money back somehow. If an app takes this away from them, they will find ways to sabotage it.

Or Duangchalerm Yoobamrung, who allegedly killed a policeman by shooting him in the head at a night club. The 22 eye witnesses changed their minds and Duangchalerm went on to be a Police sharpshooter, after being on the run.

I teach an average of 15 different Chinese business people every day who tell me that they hear Thailand is dangerous as people kidnap them and steal their organs. Also, drugs are legal, and they thing cannabis is dangerous due to being brainwashed by their government.

Met him in Pattaya of all places around 10 years ago.

Actually, I only got my blood pressure taken by the nurse when I went into the room to get the EKG. I was lying down. It was 124/85.strange as all previous visits there I got blood pressure taken, weight, height etc. The doctor looked at the readings I gave earlier and when I was sitting listened to my heart and took my pulse. I've taken BP when standing up after a nap in the afternoon and they are different to in the morning, pretty normal, about 110/72, 114/80 Could this be something to do with when I eat? My last meal of the day is about 1 pm. Blood sugar? I've a feeling it was initially dehydration then maybe I drank too much water. I'll eat tonight and try again in the morning.

Some great stuff in there, ????

Thanks. I'm drinking a lot of Sponsor now, 4/5 bottles a day. Is this better or worse than Gatorade?

I took the lump sum payment 2 years ago, so don't get a pension. The decision I have to make is whether to continue with SS or go for the universal.

Interesting as I got SS when I was a foreigner, but now I'm Thai and could have either. Why am I paying 432 baht a month for an inferior service? I can't get any private hospital where I live(Hua HIn).

I got one the other day for 1200 at Facino, Yuwell brand. Could have got cheaper on Lazada but I thought I was dying ????

plain salt?

Thanks, I think I need an accountant!

thanks, useful

I am 6'4" and 79 kg. Too much sodium causes high Blood Pressure , not enough causes low BP? 5 years ago, I had to take my mother to the doctor as she felt faint and dizzy, and was told it was her sodium levels. This was after she played golf in the hot season, which I also do, but she was 77. How to determine the amount I should drink. trial and error?

I get Seretide over the counter, and online so imagine the others are similar.

Thank you, very useful. I was told I have to go to Bangkok to check if it asthma or COPD. One friends thinks it spike protein from getting a vaccine.

I took the readings to show the heart specialist at Bangkok Hospital. I got an EKG test but the doctor didn't think I needed one, also got a copy of it, if anyone wants to see. It was the same as last year he said. He said if I wanted I could get a echocardiogram but he didn't recommend it and I got the feeling he thought I was a hypochondriac, which may well be true. Good thing, he talked to me for ages, unlike some other quacks I've seen recently. Talked about family history, my grandfather died of heart disease, my mother has atrial fibrillation, which seemingly I don't have. Basically, he said I was fit and not to worry, it could have been due to not drinking enough, or drinking too much, sodium levels I think. I wonder if anything is psychosomatic as I did feel more dizzy the day after I bought the blood pressure monitor, and felt much better after seeing the doctor!

In what ways is the universal system better than the SS?
