And she's responded, and she's fine. I love when complaining about things on the internet makes them happen.

Steph, I would have expected them to mention retesting to you when they gave you the results if a 3 month check was really needed.

Me, too. And they definitely didn't.
They were recently acquired by a huge healthcare organization, and I'm wondering if that organization just has more stringent test result-based standards.
I'm just not too fussed by my cholesterol being a little high (despite my family history of OMG heart disease). At least, not fussed to the point of testing it every 3 months. Plus I just don't think that cholesterol levels could change that much in 3 months.

Steph, I am on Statins and HBP meds (both are in high-normal range w. drugs) and I am supposed to get bloodwork done every six months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm just wondering how much change they would see after only 3 months. That seems too soon. Does 3 months seem too soon to you guys? I would think MAYBE 6 months if my cholesterol was 400 or something, but 3 months when it's 210 seems like a massive overreaction.
I have no idea (see below), but was there any kind of concerted intervention? Meds or whatever? If so, maybe a 3-mo checkin? Otherwise, it sounds crazy to me as well.
I have a check up for the first time in years next week, and am scared about how many followup tests I'm going to need, since I am now 40. A

No, and that's what makes it extra weird. If I started meds, I could see it making a difference, but my doctor didn't even mention meds.
Weird.

I have totally-my-fault barely controlled diabetes and high blood pressure and a doctor's visit every three months, but they only ask for blood maybe every six months. Oh, and high cholesterol--hello, meat, my old friend--but I don't worry about that one, either. They can only get so much health-related worry out of me at any given time.
