Medical exam (possible problem)

[danvil101 0]

Hello everyone. I have my appointment at the end of this month and I'm planning to take the medical exam some time next week, running out of time. I'm just a bit worried coz I am having a cough (not much phlegm but sometimes irritating) for like more than a week now. My question is, isn't this going to be a problem since I'll be having a chest x-ray or some other test that might involve my respiratory system? Anyone who have been thru the same situation? I have already come this far so I don't want to get screwed on my medical. Thanks in advance.

I wasn't exactly coughing when I took my medical exam but I had white phlegm. I passed the medical exam sweetly. Others have their own X-ray and general exam taken before the medical exam at St. Luke's but still get delayed sometimes. The usual line is that their lungs have a scar.

Rather than worrying about it, you better keep your mind positive.

Hakuna matata.

God bless us all.

Thanks for the quick reply. Actually I'm in Saudi Arabia right now and having my visa application and medical test done here.

That's what I'm doing right now, trying to be positive. Tho this time I'm hoping that it will turn negative on my x-ray or ppd test.

God bless you too.
