prb Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Good Morning, Since a last month, I have an unpleasant feeling in my chest and heart when i wake up in the morning or after an afternoon sleep. Started to worry and I stopped smoking 10 days ago and alcohol since last week. I feel better but the feeling is still here. I'd like to do a heart check up. The 9900 THB "Superior Heart Screening" from Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok looks good enough https://ww2.bangkokhospital.com/hearthospital/en/patient-support/packages-and-promotions/detail/18/heart-check-up-package-2019 To avoid travelling there from Pattaya does anyone knows if there are similar packages available in this price range from the hospitals in the Pattaya area?

Sametboy2019 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Had this done in Bangkok Rayong couple of months ago. Not sure if they will extend it. You had to go on the 5th of the month to get the 50 percent discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 You want to make sure it includes an exercise stress test on a treadmill. I did mine at Bumragrad in Bangkok. Looks like Sametboys includes that EST. It is possibly your life, so I would not go cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both include stress test, second also includes CT calcium scan. If willing to travel to Sr Racha you can save money doing essentially the same thing at Phyathai Sri Racha.

Turned out after the tests I needed 7 stents inserted as I had serious blocked arteries. The tests and following work was performed in a most professional way and I have had no re-occurrence since. Now have regular checkups there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prb Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Thanks everybody, I will have a look at those options this weekend and schedule an appointment for next week. Will keep updated. Edited January 25, 2020 by prb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prb Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 The BPH package give you choice between Exercise Stress Test (EST) or Echocardiogram (Echo). Anyone has knowledge of What would be the best for my given situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prb Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Good Morning, so I did the test with exercise stress test at BPH and nothing serious was found. Stop smoking for a month now, reducing alcohol intake and adding vegetables to my diet (i almost eat none during the past year) has really helped to reduce the symptoms. Was thinking about doing echo next but will probably leave it here for now. Thanks, Will update here if anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 You might want to consider a CT calcium scan. Stress Test will detect 85% of coronary artery disease but 15% will not show up. Since you have history of smoking and are symptomatic I think this would be wise. Phyathai Sr Racha is offering a promtional price 2,550 on this in February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyathai Sr Racha is offering a promtional price 2,550 on this in February. I just had the CT scan at Phyathai. Good price, quick service and a very new 256 slice scanner. Takes 5 minutes, non-invasive and it is the gold standard for identifying the extent of your heart disease (if any). Ivor Cummins on youtube has many videos explaining the benefits of a CT scan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
