Should you get blood tests done annualy?
Question:
Answers:
No. Only get a blood test (or any medical test) on the advice of a doctor. Medical tests are not cheap. And unless you're a doctor yourself, you can't tell the technician what to test for, nor how to interpret the test. The doctor will also tell you how to prepare yourself for the test (if you must refrain from taking certain foods or medicines before hand, or if there is a particular time of day to do it). Without the proper preparation, you may spoil the test results and have to repeat it.
When I was feeling chronically tired, I suggested to my doctor that I be retested for anaemia, because I had had it before and it made me feel tired. The doctor agreed with me, and we did it. I would not have had the test if the doctor disagreed with me.
Well it depends, if your sick ussualy or have diabetes then yes. but if your not sick then you dont have to take them annualy.
