Do you regularly check your blood pressure, your colesterol, diabetes etc. Apparently even very healthy people should test at least every three years or so. I do now but never bothered much when younger but I do think people shpuld. |

"My GP tests at least once a year diabetes, thyroid, blood pressure etc.
Any hospital appointments routinely check blood pressure and some do blood work too.
"
Sure but is that something they do for everyone? Also, would you seek tp have it done if you were absolutely healthy. I agree it should be done. I just don't think many healthy people bother to do it unless a reason comes to it. |

I have to do my BP regularly as I'm on a fair bit of medication to try and control it.
I would get pretty unwell if I didn't take it, but sadly it doesn't always work and needs tweaking so they like to keep an eye on my numbers. |

"I never did ever. Now have to have yearly review at go since heart attack last year but still try not to worry or think too much about those things "
Thats what I meant realy. Most of us don't do it routinely unless something happens. Early detection of something is always better. Also true tjat should not worry constantly about these things or that in itself can be very unhealthy. I hope all is well with you.  |
