I am sick alot, any suggestions?

Question:

I have a cold, and I was sick two weeks ago. I have probably been sick already maybe 5 or 6 times already this year. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't feel bad I go to the gym alot, party have fun I am 20 years old. My grandmother thinks that I should have blood work done? I think maybe I should just start taking vitamins. I am normally sick maybe like for a week at a time, and when I am not sick I feel great... and ideas?

Answers:
Go to your doctor and ask him/her to run a few blood tests...good luck!

echenaceia tea and lycopene in tomatoes are supposed to strengthen the immune system (I don't think I spelt those right)

Go to the doctor.

i think that you immune system is not functioning PERFECTLY. meaning it still works just not perfectly right. yeah u should get blood work done because then you can know what is wrong. u have been sick too many times i think it would be better if you got some tests done. good luck!

Definitely go see the doctor. It could be just that you're tired, or something worse.

Your condition could be a wide rage of problems just starting you should listen to your grandmother,Always remember older people have more life experiences.We do know more then the younger ones because we have already been there and done that many times over.
Vitamins are a good idea but without the blood work done first you just don't know what to take for what good reason...Go to see the Doc. It doesn't hurt that much....

If you are sick with the flu or a cold, AIRBORN really does help the immune system. Take more vitamin C, which helps with the immune system. There are also multi-vitamins that may be beneficial to you.

You still may want to see a doctor though because often times when your body is not fighting off illnesses, it can be due to the immune system having to fight off something else, like a virus or something you don't know about.

It may be allergies, which are often confused for a cold or virus.

listen to granny .you have a virus and stay in bed, gramdma is worried and sleep. you are better geting rest. Sleep and rest

Everyone should have a physical check up at least once a yr. You should also. Don't party so much and rest more. If you over do and go too much, don't sleep enough you can get mono from being run down. Is not just a kissing disease. Your system is probably run down. Do the vitamins and all that others have recommended. Go get a check up also.
