I probably should go but I feel like it is such an invasion of my privacy...nor do I like to be touched by strangers.

And in the nicest way, I'd recommend you consider getting an appointment with a doctor for a complete work up.

I know way too many families (mine included) that have suffered the loss of a loved one from some ailment that could have been treated or cured had it only been caught sooner. One friend lost a spouse to lung cancer who like you, saw medical care as an invasion of privacy. It was at stage four by the time it became obvious something was wrong and it was discovered during a visit to the ER.

Please do yourself and those who love you a favor and get a physical.
