Getting Ready for Your Annual Check-up

Your annual check-up is scheduled and you will be meeting with your doctor in short order.  Have you ever left an appointment and had that moment where you realized there were things you wanted to ask the doctor, but forgot?  We at Health Karma suggest that you make a list ahead of time and have it with you when you meet with the doctor.  Here are some of the things we thought of to get you started.

Start compiling a list of specific questions to go with these, well ahead of your visit.

• How do I know if I need to see a dermatologist?

• Do I need to be concerned about the amount of stress I have been experiencing at work?

• What  lab work do I need based on my age and health history?

• What vaccines should I be considering?

• Tetanus

• Flu

• Shingles

• Pneumonia

• Covid

• Other _______________________________________

• Unless my health status changes, in what year should I schedule my next checkup?

• What changes in my health or life should inspire me to schedule one before that?

• Based on what we've learned today, what are the two or three things I should focus on?
