How often should you get your cholestorol check?
and by whom should you get it check?
I got it last checked in may of 07… but i also got checked for diabeties exct… should i redo all the tests again once a year?
also my nurse practisioner does my medical issues….. ( i’m in college and my family can’t afford insurance, so the doctors at the school do this for free for full time students…)
there are also doctor there ( not only nhurse practisioners, i just use her becuase she’s a female and i’m more comfortable with her and we already have a “trust connection”…) But should i use the school doctors now instead….
i’ve been gets tired, getting sharp chest pain, anxiety, and its loss of breath… espcially when i walk four flights of stairs….
also i don’t eat alot but i eat bad ( college greasy food) and i’m not fat but could lose a few lbs….. i should be 125 and weight 140….. but the doc says i’m avergae and don’t have any health problems ( this is in may 07)

If you are a female of college age once a year is more than enough. Your tests and results can be ordered and interpreted by a qualified NP without difficulty. Everybody gets a little short of breath after 4 flights.

Every over heard a conversation between a Doc and a Vet? The Doc says ‘I wish Humans needed a annual injection like dogs, because I get to see them once a year for a check up and can head off any health problems’. The Vet replies ‘Yes I have no problem with my Patients, they turn up 12 months to the precise hour. However I do not earn as much as you, because my patients never get any serious illness’.
Therefore once a year can keep you healthy for life.
Best of Luck
