16th (siting) 10.30am P 193 119 60
16th (siting) 10.30am K 130 80 N/A
16th (supine) 10.30am K 146 97 N/A
16th (siting) 10.30am K 153 103 N/A

Readings are in the Normal, High Normal, High - Stage 1 (Mild), High - Stage 2 (Moderate) and Hypertension range. The Pharmacy readings are generally higher than the Kruger Medical Centre readings.

* 17 February 2026 - visit doctor. Told that the 24/hr test average was 151/90 (High Blood Pressure - Stage 1 (Mild)). The doctor prescribed 4mg Perindopril-Arginine tablets to relax the arteries. The patient also investigated natural methods to deal with this, including change of diet and enhanced physical activity, also in association with Scoliosis (see below).

2. Blood analysis - 7 January 2026

Tests undertaken as part of annual check up.

* Haematology

* C-Reactive Protein

------------------;

3. Scoliosis 

* 7 January 2026 - Attended Kruger Harden to assess a mild pain in the right leg and right side, perhaps associated with scholiosis of the spine. A spinal digital x-ray scan was undertaken by Scanoptics, operating as Hilltops Radiology Pty Ltd at the Kruger Medical Centre, Harden. Nine images were sent to the patient, and a report to the attending doctor. Copies of the digital scans are presented below. Report as follows:

This report is for Dr. A.S.U. Amarasinge Arachchige. X-ray whole spine.

Test: Cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbo-sacral spine. 

Clinical notes: Past history of scholiosis needing follow-up.

Findings:

There is cervical scoliosis having convexity towards left. The vertebrae are normal in height. Alignment of the vertebrae is relatively well maintained. Disc spaces at C6/7 and C7/11 levels are narrowed with endplate osteophytes. There is facetal arthropathy.

There is marked S-shaped scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine. There is an associated rotational component. No paravertebral masses are seen. No segmentation anomalies are seen. The Cobb's angle measures 30 degrees.

Dr Alok Gupta.

#1 Top of neck, part of skull

#2 Upper spine from the side

#3 Lower spine from the front

#4 Lower spine from the side

#5 Neck from the side

#6 Neck from the side

#7 Neck from the side

#8 Face from the front

#9 Upper spine from the rear

The x-rays reveal the levels of Scoliosis present in the spine. The following is a combination of both #3 and #9 to provide an approximate overview of the complete spine from the rear.

Complete spine from rear

This reveals the typical S shape of the scoliosis. The doctor referred the patient to a physiotherapist.

* 28 January 2026: The patient attended a physiotherapy session to analyse this condition and suggest preliminary treatment to (1) minimise the 30 degree rotation of the spine; and (2) ensure that the spinal impacts do not deteriorate.

4. Psychologist

* 22 October 2025: The patient visited a doctor in Harden to obtain a referral to psychologist Sorubi Thavaratnam. Seeking advice on Asperger's Syndrome / Autism Spectrum placement. 

* 2 November 2025: Consultation takes place with psychologist in Borowa.
