What are the best questions to ask your doctor during your half-yearly checkup?

Answer 1

This is such a wide subject which needs specific situation description to give you the clear answer. By the way, in good health condition during the 20s, 30s and 40s, you only need a general checkup once every four to five years, and a yearly check up at around age 50 ; except in situations where health are at risk due to exposures. For example, health care workers do yearly check up.

Anyway, the best questions you should ask your doctor are those related to aspects which raised high concern in your mind prior to your visit. If you noticed any changes in your body or you sensed something strange recently or at any time in the past, then they are the best questions that would greatly help you to ease your worries even at the least extent. "Your checkup time is also the time to discuss any problems you are having. If you feel sad or lack energy, tell your doctor. Your emotional health is just as important as your physical health."

You go for check up to know your condition, so you will be eager to know what are the doctors' findings this time. Ifever the doctor found something during the check up, it will be revealed to you even without raising a question. So you should ask for the specifics of the findings and things you should do to keep yourself at the utmost healthy condition or to keep your condition improve by any way. You might be interested to ask what you can do to change your lifestyle habits and to be more healthy. Feel free to talk to your doctor.

Going for half-yearly check up means there is something you need to check on frequently, (might be a disease which had afflicted you) to know the extent of its severity or the progress it is having. More specifics is needed in this question to have more specific answer.

Anyway, maintain your weight, exercise and eat right that's the key to good health. Anyone who is healthy does not need half yearly check up and won't be worried of what to ask the doctor. Be healthy and stay healthy!☺

Ask him about anything that's been bothering you lately. Concerns about heart health? Ask him what your risk is and if there is anything you should do. Been having a nagging pain? See if there is a solution. Want to start exercising more? Ask if there is anything you should take into consideration first. Family history of high cholesterol? Cancer? High blood pressure? Ask if there is anything preventative you can do.
