Has anyone had a private health assessment/MOT?

Are they worth the money?

I have several health issues and also feel unwell most days and not quite sure what is causing me to feel this way, I am not getting too far with the NHS, everything is so long-winded and no one will look at me holistically or connect the dots (I am sure some of my symptoms are connected).

I have been looking at health mot's and wonder if they are worth the money.

Has anyone had one of these and been able to get to the bottom of their health issues?

Don't have any health issues, but curious about health MOTs.

What do you think is related health wise to your issues?

I realise I have e not been that helpful

I imagine most health mots will be quite generic, it seems like you need to be your own expert these days and figure out your own results.

I have one done every year through work - the cost would be about £900. It includes full blood count, smear test, mammogram (I'm under 50), stool sample for bowel cancer, eyesight, hearing, lung capacity, VO2 max, blood pressure etc.

It is vaguely a comfort but tbh the worst I've ever felt was when I was starting peri-menopause - insomnia, fatigue levels off the scale of any prior experience, constant sense of doom, anxiety, rage. And none of the health test stuff would have flagged early peri-menopause. Could you be peri-menopausal? If so, I'd see the GP first.
