Annual checkup
Discussion
I am interested to know if anyone goes for an annual checkup at their doctors, being only 24 I have only ever been to the doctor when I am ill, but having not been to the doctor now for over 4 years, I am wondering if I should pay my local GP a visit and make sure everything is hunky dory.
My only complaint would be that I am finding myself tired a lot of the time, so I am not sure if I should really bother my GP or not.

Try not being online at 02:11. 
Are you getting 8 hours' sleep a day (give or take a bit)? Do you exercise? Do you eat healthily?
Yeah I get around 8 hours of sleep each day, usually go to bed at a sensible time. I exercise a little, probably not as much as I should most of my exercise is walking to and from uni and the occasional set of pressups.
I try to make sure I have 5 veg a day, and I seem to be doing pretty well with that, I usually have a vitamin tab each day as well just to keep me ticking over.

Do you eat enough carbohydrates, preferably whole grain eg brown bread, brown pasta?Yeah I get around 8 hours of sleep each day, usually go to bed at a sensible time.

Probably not to be honest, as a student, if it's 30p i'll have it.

Well, if it were me, that's what I'd look at (eating unprocessed foods and doing more exercise) however I wouldn't be taking advice from a stranger over the internet with no medical qualifications. Although I do get best of both bread!
