How often should you get your blood work? And to look at cholesterol now, if you're over 60, you should do it every year. If you are 60 and under, you can get away with about every three years or so. Have a family history of heart disease, you should definitely get it every year if you're over 40. And if you're under 40, at least get it once every five years to check your cholesterol level, because cholesterol level can be high and you don't even know it. And all these effects are happening invisibly. You don't even feel, you don't even know it.
