Is visiting the doctor when you have no real issue not acceptable? is it okay to go just to be checked out? doc's irritated when there's no issue.

That depends..: You should have a routine physical once a year. If your doctor is annoyed by this then it is time to find a new doctor. If, however, you are frequently going to the doctor just to be "checked out" for no particular reason, then this is not acceptable. If this is the case then you need to see a mental heath professional who can help you figure out why and how to deal with your feelings of concern.

The early detection!: If something is wrong with you, you need to know now because, if you find a problem in time, it can be treated effectively to prevent morbidity and mortality. See your PCP for routine physicals and screening tests once a year.
