Medical Confession

The next time you’re due for a checkup – tell your doctor these three things...

There is some important information a lot of us forget to tell our doctor about. Make sure to tell them if…



• You’re taking any vitamins or supplements. They can pose serious health risks when taken with certain medications.

• You’ve skipped your medication, diet or exercise. That could throw off any tests they order – and subsequent doses they prescribe.

• You’re going through a bad time. Life traumas like a death, layoff, divorce or loss of job will most likely have an effect on your vitals.

A shocking 25% of us lie or withhold information from our doctors. If you feel uncomfortable being completely honest with your doctor – it’s time to fess up or find one you can talk to.
