Suffering From Obesity And Stress. Family History Of Cerebral Hemorrhage And Heart Attack So Check Up Required?

My sister is 54 yrs of age and obese. Has not been to a doctor for a number of years. Has had detached retina surgery around the age of 40. Is under a great deal of stress with her job. Father and older sister died of cerebral hemorrhage, other parent of obdominal annyorism, and an older brother of a heart attack. Should we head to the doctors or hospital?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
yes, it is good to take her to your Doctor. Your Doctor will do clinical examinations, Investigations specific to her need. If there would be any warning symptoms or Signs, he or she will refer her to the specialist or Hospital. If everything comes out normal, her stress level will reduce, and will have to concentrate on healthy way to reduce weight by diet and regular exercises. Her retinal detachment at early age indicates also some chronic disease like Diabetes, hypertension or vascular disease, specially Aneurysm.
Better to be proactive, rather then stay in fear.
Wish her good health
