I Feel Fine — So Why See a GP?
Many health problems give little warning at first — a check-up is about understanding your risks, noticing changes and knowing what is worth discussing.
Everyday Health
A calm, practical guide for anyone who feels well and hasn't booked anything: what a check-up actually involves, the risks you can't feel, which cancer checks are genuinely relevant, the changes that are easy to explain away, sex and sleep, distress that doesn't look like sadness, and how to make the appointment count.
