I'm a Brit who's been living in Malaysia for 17 years now - our kid's paediatrician is based at SVMC, we've never had a bad experience, professional service and good prices!

[@hawaahmad8238]

Aww .. sorry that you're under the weather or else you would be having a good time here in Malaysia. Just for your information, as to why the locals said not to go there as it's "expensive" is because we, local Malaysians get almost free medical care at our public hospitals. It's heavily subsidized by the government. For any locals going to our government clinics will cost you RM1 (@ USD0.25¢) and government hospitals RM5 (@ USD1.25¢) being registration fees. Other than that everything else is almost free. Of course there's a difference in waiting time between public and private hospitals. But once you're registered in all other procedure comes in a breeze. In fact, you will be called and told off if you don't come in for your coming appointments as your appointment time could have been placed with others in need of medical attention. So there .. just a brief explanation from a Malaysian here 🇲🇾

[@mior1]

True,i incharge to ward at near 2 week in punlic gov hospital just charge in RM49 only from ward,for 10 day,the service i get see the eyes speacialist too

[@Ali_art]

Government servant and his wife have everything for free smiling in the corner🤣

[@areqkic320]

Hospital pun masih RM1. kalau gi hospital pakar baru akan di cas RM5

[@azwasaaidns3936]

Agreed, usually people with medical insurance can afford that. In my case, I had to go to private since I'm suffering non stop from the symptoms plus GP I'm seeing was giving no conclusive answers. Finally admitted, diagnosed as BPV & continuously had outpatient treatment for another 3 to 4 months. Total cost around RM7k (slightly USD 1.8k/ GB 1.5k) just for first treatment

[@nomorenews]

Foreigners can not go to government hospitals,si he had no choice

[@carolinacadabra8278]

I had similar symptoms while traveling in Texas. I went to the emergency ward and saw a Doctor who checked my ears, said I had fluid behind my eardrum and prescribed over the counter decongestants. The whole visit took 3 minutes and cost $1750.00. I should have gone to Malaysia!

[@lindanz7578]

Being able to get specialist appointments so promptly and being looked after so well, is such a comfort when travelling, and no language issues either. You get what you pay for and to get this level of service comes at a cost, but still seemed very reasonable. You have had a few suggestions of what the problem could be, and your symptoms are very similar to hubby's from a few years ago. Maybe check for Benign Positional Vertigo. Take care and hope you are back to your normal self very soon. Happy New Year from NZ.

[@kwangkwang3795]

This is a private, posh hospital in KL. With all that efficiency and attention, I personally think the price is reasonable.👍👍

[@snailtravelers]

Glad you had a good experience with Malaysia's fabulous health care system. We hope your health situation improves quickly.

[@MohdFarizudabinRosli]

I am a Malaysian here. I have been to Sunway Medical Centre (their HQ in Petaling Jaya) a number of times and i would say their service is top notch compared to other hospital I've been in Malaysia. Agreed with the hospital feeling like a hotel rather than a hospital 😆. Which i think is a good thing. The RM900+- charged to you is quite reasonable although many Malaysian would considered it expensive due to our almost free government medical services. The less than couple hours you took to see the specialists i must agree is phenomenal! Hope you get better soon and enjoy your stay in Malaysia 🇲🇾.

I am impressed with the medical care costs there! I will say, I have had similar symptoms and my doctor recommended a daily allergy pill. He said it helps keep the pressure regulated in the sinus which can make you feel the need to clear the pressure. Also having visited in humid Asian climates it can mess with your allergies. Hope you get some relief soon.

Take care, Neil. Sure sounds like inner ear-related. Very interesting to see the quality of service you received for a small cost.

[@Bloomscounty]

So sorry to hear (no pun intended- honestly!) about your current health problems Neil. It sounds like labyrintitis or vertigo to me (I'm not an expert but the symptoms similar to what a friend of mine had). On the positive side, you are certainly in the best place to get very fast and affordable healthcare right now as our fantastic NHS is sadly on the verge of collapse in my opinion (don't get me started on this!), and you would not be getting the same service level of care if you were here in the UK right now. Sarah - I'm sure he will be fine - it's just the joys of life but you'll both get through this together. Wishing you both good health and luck in 2023. You are both our retirement and travelling inspirations.

[@cbenson513]

Really hope to hear you are well again very soon Neil! Being sick when traveling, especially when you are not sure of the cause, is scary and stressful. Very good to see you had good care though and hoping you are bringing in 2023 feeling better.

I wish you the very best and a speedy recovery. Consider taking the next month easy and reduce any stress you may have. For your blood pressure, get a BP device and monitor your blood pressure daily and record the results. Share your BP measurement with your doctor during the next appointment. The BP devise are not very expensive in the USA. They cost about $50. I hope that 2023 brings you full health and joy. 🎉🥂

[@aej4510]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. It’s great to be able to get all those appointments in one visit, but shame you didn’t manage to get a proper diagnostic for what you have. I hope you’ll soon get the answer. Take good care of yourself. Happy New Year!!!

Of course it’s overpriced for locals, because we only need to pay Rm1 (0.20USD) 😂. Mostly free medicine included. So far I haven’t got any experience in hospitals thank god for my health. But last year I did remove my wisdom teeth. It cost me rm2 and very convenient. If I go to private, might have cost me rm250 for that.

[@omrouk]

So sorry to hear about all your troubles. We’ve been away so I’m just starting to catch up with your videos. I’m sure someone else has mentioned this, but in case they haven’t, I have a friend who has some vertigo related issues and it was discovered that the fluid inside the ear that is used for balance (essentially your internal spirit level) was starting to crystallize. He needs to see further specialists here in Canada, but I think they plan to try some way of breaking up the crystals. Hope you get a clearer diagnosis soon.

[@karenley7356]

Hope you get well soon Neil. I actually think this was very inexpensive!. I do think its important that you build healthy routines into your travels. Regular exercise, healthy eating etc. My sister had a similar thing and it was found to be vertigo, she was shown how to do the Epley manoeuvre which resolved it for her. Hoping you recover quickly and 2023 sees both Sarah and yourself with much health and happiness.

[@birdcreek1]

Good luck with your health problems this is not the time to worry about cost just get better 😊

[@shopgirl1231]

I think the consultation time and cost was exceptionally good. I hope they can sort out what’s happening with your dizziness. I have Ménière’s disease, thankfully I’ve not had many bad attacks but it can make me very dizzy and nauseous. The first big attack I had I thought I may have been having a stroke, it was awful! I don’t know if you’ve looked into that specifically, but a good ear exam should have diagnosed it.

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

Hi mate. Hopefully you are feeling better now, but I had the same issue a few years ago and it ended up being Vertigo. Mine was stress related from work together with planning a holiday extensively. It came good with a few tablets. All the best. Chat soon hey. Daz

[@doraioja7798]

Neil, hope at next doctor’s appointment it will be found the cause of your problem. Happy New Year! May 2023 be much better than the year before. Amazed by the service and cost. That fee is about the cost in Australia for a single appointment with a specialist ( less than 30 minutes consultatiin) for which you may have to wait for a month. Yes, Medicare refunds part, but still....

Sorry to hear about the health issues. I have no expertise in this area, but my immediate thought went to possible mold exposure. Not sure why you’d have symptoms and Sarah wouldn’t, but take it for what it’s worth. Also, $200 for all that service sounds like a dream. Would easily be multiple thousands of dollars in the US, even with insurance. Best of luck with the investigation! Hope you get some relief soon.

I suffer from severe tinnitus for a couple of years now, on and off pain in the right ear and a feeling of unrelenting pressure. Five years ago I was seeing an ENT consultant for the same ear. I have had private microsuction of the ear three times during the past couple of years. I recently went back to my GP here in the UK and have been referred back to the consultant. Due to a huge waiting list I am advised it will take in excess of 18 months. My wife is Chinese Malaysian living in the UK. I am now seriously considering a trip out to Kuala Lumpur later this year to visit this hospital and during the same period visit family on my wife's side.

[@lindabiegenwald5924]

I am sorry to read about your health concerns, as far as your symptoms, I thought at first a severe sinus infection.

Hi, just saw your video. Your symptoms sound similar to something my wife had a year ago. I will send you in an hour or two a detailed description how the condition was treated. Best regrds.

[@travelrefocused]

Hi Neil. First, hope you are feeling better. Sharing health care experiences like this is very valuable to others who may find themselves needing health care while in foreign countries. It can ease anxiety and make other travelers feel more prepared. I have also found the health care in Malaysia to be affordable. However, what is most impressive is how effeciently things get done. All of those consultations would have probably taken weeks in the U.S. to get sorted. So, thanks for sharing this personal experience. Now, take this with a grain of salt because I'm not a doctor and you still need to be properly diagnosed. Something we have come across in the clinic from time to time were patients experiencing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or BPPV. This is a result of calcium crystals ending up in the wrong place within the inner ear. These displaced crystals send confusing signals to the brain about your position and can cause vertigo and dizziness with certain head movements. We performed a maneuver called the Epley Maneuver with these patients which sometimes improved their symptoms. You could also have an ear infection, but I would think that would have been discovered by the ENT. Make sure you are staying well hydrated... and I don't mean with beer 🤣Keep us posted on how you are doing. Get well soon and safe travels. BTW... nice bag you got there 👍

[@cityliving-rainforestperson]

Malaysia's health system is similar to the UK's NHS. Although there are a number of private hospitals around, the government makes sure that they don't charge exorbitantly so that many more can afford their services. This would give room for public hospitals to cater to the ones who can't afford private health services. Public hospitals also deals with cases that private health services would not take or is too costly to continue. That helps with their record as well if the patient(s) die(s). There is some financial help for some treatment too (not everything is free but costs are kept low accordingly). Malaysia's public hospitals have many room for improvements and receives many complains but at the end of the day, they are the ones who gives basic health needs to the people. In Sarawak, there used to be what is known as the "flying doctor" services who would fly to the interior to give basic health services to the people who live in remote areas. It has been stopped for the time being. There is also the "water" ambulance too (rare). Another one is the mobile clinic (a bus renovated to give basic health services to remote areas) which are accessible by basic roads.

[@patnathan5013]

That cost is very reasonable. Please check out the comments of others who have had a similar issue and got it resolved in a different manner. Seems like it has something to do with the sinuses and allergies. Hope you get well very soon. In the meantime, enjoy Malaysia’s fabulous food and friendly locals.😊

[@abdullahzawawirifaie9373]

Medical services in the government hospital/ clinic is almost free for its citizen therefore the charges in private hospitals are a bit costly to the locals but not to citizens from neighbouring countries.

[@nutzhazel]

Malaysian here, sorry to hear about your health issue. As for me, I would usually go to several hospitals for consultation just to be sure, both government and private hospitals. If you find the cost is affordable, I hope you could also visit other medical centres for 2nd opinion. You can also Google what the other Malaysian said about the specialists from various hospital and see which one is the best, mine would be KPJ Damansara when I lived there and seek gynecology related consultation and treatment.

[@muhd7144]

7:53 Only about two weeks ago I had an appointment with a cardiologist at another medical centre, not too far from this particular Sunway Medical Centre : the cardiologist's consultation plus the usual blood test (for cholesterol, kidney, liver and glucose) cost about half this amount. So I would say the charges are very reasonable.

[@ahboonahboon8355]

Get well soon.

[@Mary-os4ct]

Hope your issues are soon resolved. If you were in the UK you would still be waiting for a GP appointment to be followed many months later by at least 3 spread out hospital visits and possibly no further forward. Maybe when we’re unwell in UK we should be looking to book a flight to Malaysia for a consultation.

[@andrewevans2174]

[@ibraheemali9541]

thanks for sharing

[@seabreeze8894]

Neil, so sorry you’re experiencing this unpleasantness. Sounds similar to benign positional vertigo symptoms which I have had and which can be mild or quite severe. Also can last awhile or subside quickly. Maybe do some research on this and see if it might fit? Glad you’re getting your BP meds right, also. Also, not a popular subject, but my DH and I lost 50 pounds each during the pandemic by going on the carnivore diet. I’ve been able to get off all meds (BP and auto immune) and hubby got off one of his BP meds. We’re 65 & 64 and are feeling better than we have in 30 yrs. Found out about it after a fatty liver diagnosis due to too many carbs. Blood tests are now normal! God bless and take good care. (Med costs there seemed great to us.)

[@paulware2138]

I’m poor and I can’t imagine travelling abroad and losing my life savings over health which is a basic right for every human..

Incredible price for such a lot of work . Thank you for uploading , it is appreciated as I am a 60 year old Englishman with no health insurance on my third month in Malaysia. Fair play to you though , you don’t let pre existing health issues stop you from seeing the world . The full health screen in Penang sounds interesting , I’m not sure I’d want to know . I hope you do feel better though , not easy for you . Getting older is a pain .

It is not a pain if you are getting older if you think are older then you are if you are young then you are the most happiest person on earth , enjoy your days don’t worry of anything cos thinking too much of nothing happen will make you sick and pain , just enjoy your life while still on earth , good lucks all the best year in year out

Wow! I'm sorry you're not feeling well but thank goodness this didn't happen in a country like the US. It could have cost tens of thousands of dollars and you would have had to wait several weeks or longer for specialists. Has anyone recommended an MRI? Sending healing, positive vibes. Wishing you and Sara, health, happiness, laughter and LOVE in 2023.

Look into “vestibular rehabilitation.” It’s often difficult to get an exact diagnosis for dizziness. You can start treating the symptoms even if you don’t know the exact cause. Vestibular rehabilitation is a type of physiotherapy that reduces or eliminates the dizziness and nausea. There should be this type of treatment in Malaysia

[@A-Beautiful-World]

Sorry to hear about your health issue Neil. I have sinus since young and my dizziness started in 1999. The first time was vertigo and the rest of the episodes were imbalance the whole day (no vertigo), making me nauseous if I turned my head around quickly. Not sure if your dizziness is of the same type. I went to the ENT in Singapore and New York City. In both countries, they did many checks (same tests) but could not find out why I was dizzy and told me its a viral infection. The doctors did not give me any medicine and told me that my body will compensate and adjust to the dizziness. In my case, I believe its to do with my sinus. Like you, they told me that my Eustachian tubes are clear when I can feel liquid in my ears. My dizziness was triggered mainly by my right ear, so to reduce my dizziness, I decided not to sleep on my right side and it has helped a lot. Once, I forgot and slept on my right and it came right back! What I discover is whenever I stay in temperate countries longer (more than 4 months), my sinus gets better and the dizziness goes away. Im also currently using Dymista spray, which has steroid and anti histamine in it. Its much better than the previous ones with steroid but no anti histamine. As for the dizziness, just like what the doctor said, I guess the body compensates for it. In the beginning, I still get dizzy spell once every month! OMG! Eventually it got better when I travelled to a temperate country with good air (England towns actually! haha) for about 4 months per year for a few years. My sinus was better and the dizziness disappeared after. Humidity is soooo bad for sinus. Many Singaporeans have bad sinuses. Hope you recover soon! Happy New Year to you and Sarah! :)

i guess it is not Vertigo, since it is not mentioned anywhere in this vlog. anyway, wishing you a speedy recovery and improvements in your health. take care.

[@BiswardiHasbi]

Hopefully you get well soon.

Sounds a lot like Meniere's disease. My M-I-L had it. medication at onset of episode which I believe she finally took daily (at 92!) hope they get to the end of it for you .

[@tbjdiamonddog]

Great value for money I say, I’m 66 now on high blood pressure tablets, the day I flew out I realised I didn’t have enough tablets for the month ! Amazingly a friend who lives here has some heath card, I showed her my Losartan 50mg box and brought a months worth over the counter !

[@suz1720]

Neil, hope you feel better and get a proper diagnosis very soon. Have you considered an MRI brain scan? Worth mentioning to your doctor. Best wishes.

[@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377]

Hope you get some relief! That has to be frustrating! When you describe your symptoms I immediately said “sounds like inner ear”. That being said.. no ideas what I’d do about that! Glad the costs and service were reasonable and it looks like great care too.

High Blood Pressure! Just had the same problem!
