I am 40 years old male. I am a heavy smoker and usually take alcohol almost everyday. I want to quit smoking and drinking. Also I think my cholesterol is high as there are tiny mark near both of my eyes. Also I am experiencing cramps in my muscles frequently. Can you please suggest what are the tests required to be done for a proper health check up?

High cholesterol regular smoking and drinking put you in a very high risk for a lot of diseases specially heart disease so I would strongly advise you to quit smoking if not both and you can take alcohol the moderate amount occasionally your muscle problems can be a result of nutritional deficiency or a sign of developing under lyme disease so you need to get evaluated for them as well as for other risk factors so I would advise you to undergo a routine health checkup with all routine blood test urine test and Cardiac evaluation like Eco cardiography and ECG then we can pinpoint what is causing you problems and what respect is you have also if your cholesterol is high then you should take medications for the same something which you should start doing is avoid all kind of junk and fatty foods and do a regular 45 minutes of workout any kind of workout at least 5 days a week regularly keep a record of your blood pressure and blood sugar and regular health checkups every six months to 1 year.
