Thanks. But what do you mean by "do". Did you mean "ask"?

"I am just used to asking questions about health." is grammatical. The meaning is that you habitually ask questions about health, which may start to annoy people, which is why this sentence is said. For example:

A: That's the third question about health issues that you've asked in the last 5 minutes. What are you trying to do?
B: I'm just used to asking questions about health.

The use of "used to ask" would not work in 'I am used to ask....' but would work in the 'I version' (I used to ask questions..), which is about the past.

'I am used to asking questions..' is in the present and something I constantly do.

Correct. I used to enjoy very hot weather. (customary habitual action in the past) Now, I am used to a cooler climate. (I can accept it)
