Appointment for Health Check
My mom recently experienced shortness of breath twice after overeating, and she occasionally has a dry cough. We'd like to get her checked, may I know what kind of appointment we should make?

Answer:

Dear Sir/Madam,

We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Pantai Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements.

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your mother’s recent symptoms of shortness of breath after overeating and occasional dry cough.

Based on the information provided, we would recommend that your mother consult both a gastroenterologist and a respiratory specialist for a thorough evaluation.

  • The gastroenterologist will assess for gastrointestinal conditions such as hiatal hernia or other digestive issues that may be contributing to her shortness of breath following meals.

  • The respiratory specialist will investigate the cause of her dry cough and evaluate her respiratory system to rule out any underlying lung or airway conditions.

Please let us know if you would like us to assist with scheduling appointments for these consultations or if you require any further information.
