Im 46 year old male. do i need a physical?

Should have it: It is recommended that you should have a physical evry one-two years after hitting 40....If you have not done so in recent years, getting done is a good idea. Simple things like ekg, tetanus booster, urine test and some basic labs are done as part of your physical...Painless... Good luck.

It depends: When did you last have one? Do you have risk factors like smoking, overweight, family history of heart disease, diabetes, or cancer? Do you get enough physical activity (150 minutes/week)? Have you ever had high blood pressure or high cholesterol? If you've had normal blood pressure and haven't had it checked in a couple years, it's time to see your doctor.
