Have annual physical this week. Nervous!

Relax, breathe,....keep trying to think positively. Stay in the present moment so your mind won't have a chance to go to that dark place. It'll be over before you know it, and I'm sure everything is just fine. Think how good it's gonna feel when you get a clean bill of health!

General Practitioners have to deal with all kinds of gruesome issues on a regular basis - but many of these people are completely inactive, elderly, etc. I can assure you they won't be looking you over with a magnifying glass. Many, many people have high cholesterol. For someone like you, the purpose of a physical is often just to address small issues that prevent bigger problems. Skin abnormalities are a great example. Have a weird mole? These days, they're routinely removed and aren't a problem again for the overwhelming majority of people. So no reason to stress, the exam can only help.
