Until I started having chronic migraines, the only regular doctor visits I made were my once a year gyn exams. Other than that, I really only went if something was wrong (cold longer than a week, injury, etc.). I had a whole slew of visits with various specialists when we were trying to figure out my migraine issues. The last time I went to the doctor to check-in on how things were going on that front, we decided that a once a year check-in was fine unless or until something came up--recurrence of the migraines, a change in nature of the migraines, or some complication/problem related to the bp meds. Mostly he's worried about my pressure dropping too low, so I monitor every day at home. So far, I'm on track to not have to see him again for a while.
