Check for covid - just return from travel

Hi, I have just recently travelled to Houston (transit at Doha). To be safe I would like to take test if I’m infected. May I know if it is recommended that I do the test immediately upon return or I should wait few days? Able to do test at private hospital, if yes which one in Klang Valley? Tq
