Question:
Any Doctors, nurses or anyone in the healthcare area that can help me?
What are some things I should ask my Pediatrician to check me for? I'm 19, obese [5'11 - 270 pounds] and I'm scared to have anything like Diabetes and high cholesterol etc. I only get checked by her once in a blue moon.. it has been 4 years since I last got checked and in those 4 years i've gained over 150 pounds. I have gotten stretchmarks that are still pink/reddish.. all over my body.. what should I ask her to help me with my skin?
I'm already asking her for
things like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.
anything else? Please help me I want to get checked for everything...
