  1. 5 Reasons To Pay Your Doctor A Visit

  2. Most of us prefer not to be accused of hypochondria, and will only pay a visit to our doctor if we really feel it necessary. There is nothing wrong with this, but there may also be advantages to going to the doctors more often, such as for vaccinations or for general health check-ups. Here are the five of the top reasons for paying your doctor a visit on a more regular basis: 1.Vaccinations:These are vital not only for preventing you from contracting some serious diseases, such as polio, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella and even cervical cancer, but for those who are unable to be vaccinated or who have weak immune systems, it provides ‘herd immunity’.

  3. 2.Blood pressure and cholesterol:It is estimated that less than a fifth of the population have their blood pressure or cholesterol checked regularly, and many of us have no clue whether we are at risk of having a heart attack, a stroke or from developing kidney disease. Getting your blood pressure and cholesterol checked at least once a year is recommended, if only to show you that you’re healthy and have nothing to worry about. 3.Medical record: Visiting your doctor at least once a year gives them a chance to create a personal medical record for you, which can be instantly accessed in the case of an emergency. While none of us expect to end up in hospital either very

  4. sick or injured, there is always a chance, and if the medical team can access your up to date medical records, then it may prevent them from giving unnecessary treatment or testing, and can help to prevent allergic reactions to medication. 4.Patient/doctor relationship:For your doctor to really get to know you and understand you and your health issues, they need to see you more regularly, whether you are sick or healthy. When your doctor feels as if they know you quite well, they may feel better advised over what treatments to give you in the event of sickness or injury, and you will feel more of a connection with a doctor who knows more about you.

  5. 5.Free check-ups:The most basic of health insurance packages will usually cover you to have an annual preventative care visit. Even if your healthcare package doesn’t provide you with this, there are many clinics and hospitals all around the country that provide discounted check-ups and health care. I guess there is a distinction to be made, between those who visit the doctor so often that the clinic feels like their second home, and those who don’t go at all, no matter how sick they feel or how worried they may be. If you are genuinely concerned about an issue with your health, you would be strongly advised to see your doctor as soon as possible.

  6. However, even if you look and feel healthy, your blood pressure or cholesterol for example, may tell a different story, so an annual or biannual trip to the doctor, could end up saving your life.
