I go to the doctor all the time. Literally every couple of weeks. Tomorrow in fact I have to have a hearing test, and the day after go to see the ear, nose and throat specialist.
I have a lot of serious health problems, and the most recent prognosis is that I have lost quite a bit of my hearing because of my Meniere's disease. I hope that tomorrow my test comes up better, as sometimes hearing loss from Meniere's can be temporary and other times permanent. However, the real reason I am going to the doctor is that I have had continous vertigo all week, and had to miss work all week so far.
If I were healthy, I think I would get regular checkups just in case, to be careful. Since I'm not, I go to the doctor very often in order to try to manage my illnesses as well as possible.

no,I do not check my health regularly because it always spends too much money checking up in any hospital.sometimes although I feel that maybe there is something wrong in my health,in order to save money,I just try to pass it away.

hi, angela. i don't agree u about that. our health is very important for ourselves. so don't mind the money spending for ur health. pls do a health checkup for yourself regularly. that's good for u. and pls see the doctor when u are ill. the money we spending can be earned later. if we have a bad health we almost lose everything including money.

I know health checkup regularly is necessary. But I don't want to check it so often. As some bad news will make you worried all the time. Sometimes you can't change anything, but knowing it earliy probably make you feel bad and somewhat it will be much more dangerous for your health.

hi, youless. I agree u that don't check it so often. but i think the rusult of checkup is just to give our advice not to make us warring about it. huh. just like me, the checkup tells me that i have a light fatty liver, then i'd better to change my food habit. doing that early can prevent me from deteriorating my health.

I undergo regular health checkups, through my office.
It helsp us in knowing the current status of our body. This is especially helpful for people who have crossed 30.
All teh routing checks like blood sugar level, cholestrol level etc itself helps us a lot in knowing whether we are fit or not.

Whenever I wan to that's for sure..it could once a year, once a month...depend on how I feel...but I have gone any medical check-up for the past 2 years already but thats ok I do no think I really it for now or the coming months becasue I do not feel anything suspicious that I already have a terible desease.

I usually have a regular medical check up at least once a year because it is a company policy where I work for. Its good to check the status of our health for us to be able to know if we are healthy or not.
