Wellness Card Smoking Cessation

Description:

• This package provides a snapshot of your body's respiratory health and systemic inflammation, helping doctors customize your path to quitting your smoking habit safely.

Benefits:

• Psychological Motivation: Seeing concrete biological data - such as your actual lung capacity or an estimation of your "lung age" - serves as a powerful, measurable incentive to quit and stay smoke-free
  


• Early Detection of Hidden Damages - Smoking risks affect both light and heavy smokers. These tests reveal early signs of airflow obstruction or tissue changes before severe physical symptoms develop
  


• A Visual Roadmap for Recovery - When you stop smoking, your body begins to heal. Having these baseline values allows your doctor to map out a clear timeline of your respiratory and metabolic improvements during follow-up visits

Who should consider this package?

• Long-Term or Heavy Smokers


• Individuals Planning to Quit


• Recent Quitters


• Smokers Experiencing Mild Symptoms


• Anyone with a history of tobacco use who is experiencing a chronic cough, occasional shortness of breath, chest tightness, or wheezing.


• Adults Over 40 with a Smoking History

Components of the Test:

• CBC : Evaluates overall oxygen-carrying capacity and detects signs of chronic inflammation or elevated white blood cell counts common in smokers.
  


• Chest X-Ray - A chest X-ray uses a focused beam of radiation to look at your heart, lungs and bones. Healthcare providers use chest X-rays to diagnose or treat conditions like pneumonia, emphysema or COPD. Chest X-rays are quick, noninvasive tests
  


• Spirometry (Pulmonary Function Test) - Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test. It determines how well your lungs work by measuring how much air goes into and out of your lungs when you breathe. Spirometry is safe, though you may feel lightheaded or dizzy from repeated deep breaths.

Fasting Requirements:

• No fasting is required for the included tests.

Dietary Restrictions:

• No specific dietary restrictions are required.

Medication Considerations:

• Continue your regular medications unless otherwise advised by your physician. Inform the physician about any medications or supplements you are taking.

Sample collection process:

• A blood sample will be collected by a qualified healthcare professional. The Chest X-ray and Spirometry Test will be performed at the designated facility.
