Hi people, i am in the ptp batch for 2 months plus now, during all my exercises , i had no problem except for the recent chin ups and route marches that i do. I've experienced chest pain from these 2 activities and my body went cold after route marches.
I've decided to consult the MO about this, however, i am afraid i would be mistaken as chao kenging. Also, will it do me any good to report this symptoms? or are they normal? For chin ups, sometimes, i feel really sharp pains at my chest. During my CGH checkup prior to enlistment, they diagnosed me with something called AV block stuff, i do not know if its serious or not. So should i consult the MO about this? And if i do, what should i say?

Visit the MO cos heart problems can be serious and should not play a fool with.
Just mentioned your symptoms and if u wan, u can highlight whatever condition that you had and see what the MO says.
I don't really know the actual procedure of reporting sick, can i report to MO at night during admin time? Becuz i am the platoon IC and i do not know if i can just leave my shift and report to MO.

It is your right to report sick when u feel unwell regardless what is your role in ur platoon.
Just sound out to ur PS/sec comm that u would like to report sick when you book in and they will tell u the time to report sick.
Nights are only for emergency so do not wait till at nights then go report sick.
Recommend you see the MO earlier in the morning. Altho Tekong medical centre is 24 hours, you wouldn't want to see them during your admin time - they are more interested in emergency cases then seeing someone who wants to see a MO for his opinion. Remember, the medical centre is run by NSFs after hours; they are not gonna be happy to see ur face at night, because they are on duty and have already been bombarbed by report sick personnel earlier in the day.
And yes, u should see the MO. This kind of thing cannot play around. Just get someone (make sure hes competent) to cover your platoon IC position for a few hours so u can report sick in peace. Your commanders will understand...
Please

Report Sick during first parade by indicating to your section instructor. If your SI or Platoon sergeant deems it serious, they will bring you to the COS who will take you to the medical centre. Otherwise, if they think it isnt, they would most likely ask you to go for a medical review after 1330hrs.
AV block is a very serious thing eh... so i suggest tt u get ur cardiac specialist to write a memo or something to ur MO in camp..
