Doctor Appointments for Seniors

 To maintain good health into your golden years, it's important to see your doctor regularly.  Individuals in their 50s should schedule an appointment every two years, while those in their 60s and older should see the doctor annually.  Prepare for appointments by tracking any allergies, your personal and family medical history, medications and immunizations.  Symptoms that should be discussed with the doctor include chest pain, changes in a mole or other skin marking, blood in the stool, vomiting or coughing up blood, dizziness or fainting, confusion, unexplained weight loss, tingling sensation or numbness, vision loss or shortness of breath.  Ask your doctor about your risks for heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.

If you're reading this column, we know that you are interested in positive measures for your health. It's very likely that you're physically active and you watch what you eat.  We also want to strongly encourage you to have regular medical checkups.  When you know your lifestyle is healthy and you're feeling great, it's so easy to postpone a routine physical exam. 

P.S. - Discuss any concerns about your medications, including doses and side effects with your doctor.
