Over 40s/50s/60s/70s health checks?

BlueBella

Been for my health check - lasted 15mins

- weight and height checked

- bp checked

- bloods taken (apparently for liver, kidney, thyroid, cholesterol)

- asked if I smoked

- asked if I drank alcohol

- asked about family history of heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc

And that was that! I was told I should receive a letter with my blood test results within a week and if there was anything not quite right, the doc would be in touch.

I am in the middle of some tests for cancer and got a letter about breast screening, they said they are offering some breast screening as a trial to women under 50 and over 70 ie outside the time tests are normally done. If anyone has any interest/concerns it might be worth volunteering. A free test that could save your life is a real bargain in my book.
