Inquiry about hypertension and hyperlipidemia tests for an elderly person in their 80s

My mother is 80 years old this year.

 

I think I've been taking medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol for a little over 20 years.

 

Recently, fasting blood sugar has risen to a slightly dangerous level, so you should also be cautious about diabetes.

 

My blood pressure and high cholesterol are fortunately not very dangerous, but I can't stop taking the medication, so I continue to take it.

 

He also had thyroid cancer surgery 18 years ago, so he needs to take hormone medication~~

 

My teeth are not good, so I can't stop taking Tooth Tonic, and I really take more than a few medications;;;

 

You regularly have blood tests and take medication at the internal medicine department...

 

It's good to exercise, but since your joints are not in good condition, you can't comfortably do any exercise either.

 

You have been consistently managing your weight, so you haven't gained weight... but you probably have very little muscle mass, right?

 

By the way, I'm curious, how often do patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes get blood tests at the hospital?

 

Actually, it's not easy for elderly people to go to the hospital.

 

My mom goes to the internal medicine department every three months for blood tests, so she visits regularly.

 

They said they drew more blood than expected;;;;

 

I'm curious how often others get regular check-ups.

    검사하는 정도의 체혈은 괜찮아요
    3~4개월에 산번씩해보라고는 권하더라구요

    저희 아버지가 고혈압이랑 고지혈증 둘다 있으신데 
    주기적으로 피검사 하시고 약도 타오세요 
    3개월에서 길면 5개월에 한번씩 검사를 하시더라구요 
    정기적으로 받아야.. 아무래도 상태가 어찌 되어가고 있는지 아니까요ㅠㅠ 
    피를 얼마나 많이 뽑으시는지 모르겠지만 그래도 피검사만큼 정확한게 없지요

    고혈압이나 다른 내과질환 있을때 초기에는 1달에 한번 피검사하시기도 하는데 어느 정도 안정화(수치 변화가 없는시기)되면 3개월에 한번씩 검사하더라구요
    연세드시면 무릎 관절이 좋지 않아 운동도 맘껏 못하시는게 참 안타깝지요 
    그래서 고혈압 등 혈관질환 관리가 더 어려운거 같아요 
    앉아서나 누워서 하는 근력운동도 괜찮아요 조심조심 하시면 운동됩니다
