The 3 top leading causes of death in males are 1 - Heart Attack - so lets make sure that you have a cholesterol below 200 and an HDL about 40 - have a full lipid chemistry panel completed- Drink at least 2 glasses of either wine or beer 4 or 5 times a week. The moderate drinker out lives the non-drinker and the alcoholic 2. Cancer - Does your family have a history of cancer if so then we need to have the colon checked and the prostate examined and you need PSA chemistry done for base line. Finally the number 3 killer of men is Stokes. Do you have high blood pressure - if so lets get you on some anti-hypertensive medicine.
With out seeing you I think I have covered the major big issues for you. If you have spent a lot of time in the sun check your skin for skin cancer and review your family history - then will help you identify genetic issues that will lead your physician to look at other possible health concerns.
Next lets get you a real thorough physical and a bright primary care Dr with a lot of expeirience

You need to be sure to get your eyes examined routinely if you don't wear glasses as anytime after about age 40 is when your near vision begins to fade making it hard to read small print. Your doctor will also start checking your prostate about this time to monitor that. If you haven't had blood work done recently that is also something that needs to be done to monitor for such things as your cholesterol level, PSA and check for signs of diabetes.
