1st follow-up checkup:
Clinic J (Doc Low TingTing):
Liver test result: shows Normal.

Doc take further checks on dad and discovered that he is Blood Pressure is slight HIGH. Doc Low recommend to use diet to tune down the High Blood Pressure. She also mention that, it could be due to anxiety and worrying too much that causes the Blood Pressure to be HIGH.

Dad also surfaced another problem: There is a lump at the Right Groin area. Doc checked and identified that its known as Igunial Hernia. Doc explained that, this is a situation where the intestines were pushed outwards together with the stomach mucles skin. This situation could be caused by various reasons. Some common ones are: pregnant lady using too much strength on their stomach muscles during giving birth, and, people who are suffering from constipation, uses too much strength to trying to "dispose" their waste.

For this condition, Doc strongly advised that, Dad should undergo an ops to push the stomahc muscles & the intestines back. Dad was rather reluctant of medical operations, moreover, he does not feel any pain in the region. However, Doc advised that the Ops got to be done asap and if not, when the pain arises, the situation will be much difficult to salvage.
