Question: What kind of test would you recommend if the heart and lungs are to be checked
Answer: Hello there and thanks for using Wellvis

There are various tests that can be done to check on the health of the lungs and heart and this usually depends on the reason for the check Some tests can give an idea of both the lungs and heart while there may be some specific to each of them 
For example
 A Chest Xray will view both heart and lungs as well as well as a computerized tomography or CT scan and a Magnetic Resonance Image MRI
 An electrocardiogram or ECG testing the electrical activity of the heart and echocardiogram looking at the flow of blood through the heart will test just the heart
 Spirometry assessing the lung capacity will test just the lungs
 There are blood tests too that can give an idea of heart and lungs functions by means of markers like troponins

These are just a few that exist out there Their costs vary and as such it is best to have a sit down with your doctor to see which is best for you

Hope this helps
