How can I ask my doctor if there is something wrong with me?

Question

I have a few symptoms and I am kind of weird about asking my doctor for some blood levels. The thing that bothers me the most is that I am tired all the time. I get enough sleep, I eat well, and I exercise three times a week. I just think he will just say "oh it's nothing" or "it will go away" but I have been feeling like this for over a year.

Answer 1

If you are worried about this, then maybe you should consider getting a new doctor. If you have a good doctor, he/she should make you feel comfortable no matter what the question is.

Answer 2

Ask him the same way you just asked a room full of strangers. I am sure your Dr. knows you better than us and you should be able to be honest with your Dr. and ask him anything.

Answer 3

Your Doctor will not say this.If you have been feeling abnormal for over a year, it is time to talk to him asap.A problem diagnosed early is easier to treat than a long term illness untreated
