How often do you go for regular health check up?

i care to much aboute my helth and i try to go regular helth check and i think people should care about your helth they should take good think and peole should go on evening walke. i will try to keep my helth and good i will do ragular exercise its my thinking so try to adevice to people that all people should do regular exercise

I do check up but every after 6 months...but now a days i faced some problems and decided to check up every after 1-2 months.Its very good that to check up and take action on right time before it goes from certain situation.

It really good to know that you got yourself to go for a checkup and that your reports were normal. It sure is important to get oneself checked up at regular intervals. The need for this keeps increasing as we grow older especially considering our stressfull lives and the kind of food that we eat these days. At the same time i must admit that i have been guilty of procrastinating and delaying a regular health check up. It's not been the fear of knowing that has kept me away, only some past experiences. But i have to get that out of my head and get one scheduled very shortly. Thanks for bringing up this discussion Mimpi, it has most certainly made me determined to ahead and get one done.

This is the discussion that I was thinking of making when I went to bed a couple of days back and forgotten completely.I am shocked to see it here with the own words that I have coined. Well I get myself checked medically once in a year.

It is only an emergency that will take me to the doctor. In fact I have to literally be dragged there. I have not done a complete check up for many years now. I know I should be going but am just too lazy....

Ya, i planned the checkup every Dec of the year. I do also get my family member to go together for checkup. I have difficulties to get my parent initially as they will always mentioned that they know their health level, i really don't agree and doubt how can know that without checking on the blood test, only by feeling? But finally they still go for that and the result it shows normal. This at least give me some good feel that their still healthy. Strongly encourage to have regular checkup. Enjoy life and be healthy. =)

I don't go as often as I should. I tend to wait until I'm sick before I actually go to the doctor. In my case this is stupid because I have conditions which must be monitored. In fact, I am overdue for blood work right now. Yes, I'll be getting that dealt with tomorrow.

not really. i go to doctor only when there is emergency. it is the case where everyone should go for regular checkups. but i do not,.

Until I was diagnosed with diabetes about 2.5 years ago I did not go for regular checks at all. I had been to the doctors with the symptoms of diabetes and they had almost thrown me out of the office saying it must just be hormonal and made me feel like I was wasting their precious time which at the time really pissed me off. Then I was called in for routine checks for blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, heart problems, etc and that's when it came out that I had diabetes. I was furious with them when this came out as I had specifically been in to see them some time previously about those exact symptoms and they were quite apologetic. I have very little faith in my doctor’s surgery now. But I do have to go in every 6 months for regular check up because of my diabetics – I find this a real chore as they are not practical and don’t do early morning appointments – one can only see the diabetic nurse between 10 and 12 and this means I have to take almost the whole morning off work. Not that it’s an issue as my boss is very understanding but imagine I worked somewhere else? I would have to lose half a day’s holiday every time... I think my surgery seems to exist mostly to cater for unemployed people who have nothing to do all day and can go to the doctor’s when it suits them. Do I sound bitter? Well I’m sure I do and I have good reason to be. I have paid ridiculous sums of income tax and national insurance contributions since my late teens only to have to deal with a shoddy national health service which has no time and consideration for people who work full time! Even my local hospital where I’ve been for blood tests several times have messed up my results several times in the last 3 or 4 years! What can I do except complain to you guys here? LOL! As it is, I avoid going to the doctor as much as possible if I have aches and pains or colds which is not a good idea as my last cold turned into a chest infection which had to be treated with antibiotics because I tried to ignore it!

Hi Mou Glad to hear that all Test Results were good and ur health is Ok, But i wonder why u were expecting some problem in ur reports( is every thing Ok) . i do agree that unknown fear is allways there whhen u r waiting for any result, either its medical report, education result or some thing at office. Well, i am not that nice as u r , i hate clinics and only go there if got some problems Take care

mimpi yes I usually go every three months for a diabetic checkup and every six months for renal checkup as I am a diabetic, now I am overdue but am moving to another town so I must get a new doctor, probably doctorsand maybe new insurance.

I don't actually have regular check ups scheduled. but it is nice to have a medical check up once a year courtesy of our company. We had it last month covering blood test, x-ray, ecg and urine analysis. The results were fine. All within normal range. Have a nice day!

for me it does take some absolute kind of hazard to my health and even then I try my best to just handle it myself and if I cant then I would go to the emergency room or something. I do my best to not go to a doctor at all. I have not as far as I know ever just had a regular check up. Of course I have not been to a doctor in well over a year if not longer.

I don't usually go for regular check-up. I only seek treatment when i feel very ill, May be I'm not bothered about my health because I exercise regularly, I eat the right food. So I can say that I have a healthy lifestyle.

I have asthma, so I go for a yearly checkup related to that. I also make sure I get a flu jab each year.

Unfortunately I am required to go in and see my doctor every three months for a check up. I also have to have blood work every three months. I'm diabetic, among other things and they must monitor it frequently. However I think its been a while since my cholesterol was checked. I'm not sure I want to know what it is. LOL It often runs way too high.

the last checkup was before 2yearsth i think that if we go for checkup easily and unnecessarily Dr is going to charge Rs1000. so no Dr until i have some problem that can't be cured by self medicine.

Its been very long time i have gone to the hospital for.I usually dont go to the hospital until and unless if it is emergency.But i think we should go for a check up once in a while so we can be all the time.

I don't go health checkup unless i myself feel weird about my body. Especially i particularly observe my urine colour and where does it has bubbles. Cause it will be a sign of a health problem. You won't want to check up if you are raring to go.

well,i haven't been to health check up 2+ years maybe more,but i just started watching House M.D. the series(yes i kow i'm little late with that :D)and now i go visit my doctor as often as possible(i think he is kinda irritated of me :D )
