Blood Test Details

Avoid consuming foods that have excessive salt, sugar, and laxative substances as these can either trigger and elevate your results or make you feel uncomfortable. Exercise or strenuous, physical activities are a big no before a health checkup as these can raise your blood pressure and heart rate. Avoid heavy food and caffeinated drinks/ alcohol. Avoid wearing/ usage of perfumes, deodorants, talcum powders, creams, lotions, ointments, etc., as these can interfere with your test results.

Make sure you have not eaten anything at least for 8 hours before your checkup. While some tests require an 8 hours gap, some require around 12 hours. Consult with your physician to avoid any mishappenings. Proper dresses that are both comfortable and appropriate are a must during a health checkup. In case of a treadmill test, wear appropriate footwear and attire that allow you to take the test comfortably. If you have been scheduled an ultrasound scan, make sure you drink several glasses of water before the scan as a full bladder creates a convenient path for the ultrasonic waves in the scan.
