No, you do NOT need to do frequent blood checks. Find yourself a doctor that you feel comfortable with, do yearly physicals and consult with them for anything in-between. Excessive testing will needlessly lead you into a spiral of health anxiety.
- blitzar 5y agoEvery 3-6 months tested and annual physical. Every physical I have ever had has included bloods - so it seems we agree on that frequency. Done it for 10 years and 0 spirals of health anxiety, reduced medications and improved health. Annecdotal perhaps, but every person I know that undertakes a similar regime suffers far far less from health anxiety than those that dont. However, the health anxious tend to be sure they have cancer/diabetes/brain tumors based on their google searches but refuse to go to a doctor and get a checkup.
