I know I should get an annual checkup with my Dr but I am terrified to do it. It's been way way to long. The thought of picking up the phone to call makes me panic. I don't know what to do. Has anyone been through this? I'm terrified of bad news or having to follow up because of an odd test result. I physically feel fine. I exercise every day, not overweight and do a decent job with my diet. I don't know how to get passed this fear. I thought about going to a pharmacy for some basic tests (blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol) as a way to take "baby steps" to making an appointment with my Dr for a real checkup.
Anyone else go through this?
