Checkup Time

Saturday January 28, 2006
Is it time for your annual checkup? No matter how well you may feel it is a good idea to make that annual trip to your physician. There are several simple examinations your doctor will do that can help assess your state of health. Some health problems may go unnoticed until they cause big problems - you may not know you have high blood pressure, but if left untreated it could lead to a stroke.
Remember to include a visit to your dentist for a cleaning and exam - especially if you have diabetes, and then wind it up with an eye exam.
