Admittedly, I have not had a physical in quite a few yearsâ?¦.but I need to go in as cholesterol runs high in my family. So im going to go in to get standard blood work and a physical done and I was curious about what test I should be asking for. I have a feeling that the general doc might do the minimum and not tell me what I really need to know. And since Im ignorant about what to ask for, some test might get over looked. So, what are the primary test I should ask for in a physical?
