When I go for lab tests, I have to fast. Does that mean I can't take any medication before the test?
27 September 2015
No, before the test you must absolutely take the medication prescribed by your doctor and drink some water. Fasting means that you cannot eat a meal, drink coffee or tea before the test, which could simply falsify the test result. In the case of people with chronic diseases, e.g. diabetes, if possible, you should postpone your first meal and insulin intake until after the test or take this into account when reading the results.
In this episode of WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS, we discuss contraindications to physical activity, the optimal type of training for the heart, the importance of sleep and recovery, and the impact of stress and stimulants on the circulatory system. The discussion is based on a cardiologist's clinical experience and addresses patients' daily health decisions.
Who we are
In our work, we are guided by the idea of a family doctor who provides the patient with comprehensive care at all times, not only when they are ill. Our mission is to take care of the health of residents on a daily basis. We provide health education and promote prevention.
