Get ready at least RM500. Charges should be reasonable since you're seeing a specialist.

Just to share my case.

I have sinus problem since years back and getting worst day by day with included Nasal discharge backflow into throat and coughing non stop.

Went to Dr Gan Tong Nee@Sunmed, tried few types of sprays(Mar, Afrin, Nasonex) and it wont helps and he decided to do FESS(8k+) on me.
Did First time, after few weeks my problem and my problem back again.
Did CT scan, found that got infection and mucal tissues building up, and he did second time of FESS(7K+) on me.
Problem came back after few weeks again, this time he gave me antibiotics and ask me consider for Balloon sinuplasty which costing 12K++.
I keep telling him my throat is not feeling well but he just ignore it and keep focus on my nasal part.
I then gave up on him and stop visiting.

My backflow and coughing continues for next few months until my GP doc told me to try Dr Megat@ColumbiaAsia Puchong.
Dr Megat did some basic checks on my nasal and my throat and shown me some of the images.
The sinus points is good condition which thanks to FESS, no infections, no blockage except one side of it kinda narrow.

He gave me tried Nasacort & Nasonex but the result is not good too and he found my coughing problem was due to acid reflux.
Dr Megat refer me to Dr Jurina(Physician) to get second opinions.

Dr Jurina really damn good and she sent me to do few test and confirmed my problem was due to acid reflux.
She gave me controloc and few other medicine which I can feel the different after that but she told me that I need to control my stress level too which it did contribute to this problem.
Last few weeks, my problem getting serious, and she put me into ward.
She get Dr Yong Chun Woon to do stomach scoping to make sure everything is ok.
She get Dr Megat to continue treat my nasal part.
She put controloc into my body for 48 hours.

after 3D2N of treatment(7K++ included 3 specialist charges), now I feel better and my coughing is fixed!
and now I know what is the real problem.
Nasal discharge backflow can't be fix easily, that will need to depends on environment, weather but I'm a lot better now.
Acid reflux, Now I know how to handle it properly.

But once I over ate too much, then I can feel the relux again...LOL

Just to share my experiences , in case anyone of you having same problem as mine.
Hope everyone stay healthy smile.gif

Are all these treatments covered by medical insurance?

With Dr Gan Tong Nee, RM8k + 7k + 12k = RM27k+

With Dr Megat, Dr Jurina, Dr Yong Chun Woon = RM7k+

Altogether RM35k+. Quite a hefty sum there.

Okay, good to know. Well, if your company doesn't have medical insurance policy for employees, or the lack of it, you can always use your own medical coverage either to cover or top up on the maximum amount that has been used up by the company's insurance(say the maximum cap of the company's medical insurance is up to RM100k, and you are claiming RM130k. Your own medical insurance will top up the RM30k).

If without medical insurance coverage, one will have no choice but to use up his/her own savings account to pay for the medical expenses. Specialist treatments are not cheap, so insurance is usually useful to cater for some of these unforeseen treatments that may be required in future.
