How to Prepare for Your General Physician Visit

Before Your Visit

  • Write down your symptoms — when they started, how often, what makes them better/worse
  • Bring a list of all current medications (including vitamins and supplements)
  • Carry any previous reports — blood tests, X-rays, discharge summaries
  • Note your family medical history (diabetes, heart disease, cancer in parents/siblings)
  • If getting blood tests, ask beforehand whether fasting is required

During the Appointment

  • Be honest about all symptoms, even if they seem embarrassing
  • Mention if you smoke, drink alcohol, or have dietary restrictions
  • The doctor will check vitals: blood pressure, temperature, pulse, weight
  • Ask the doctor to explain the diagnosis in simple terms
  • Request a written prescription and clear dosage instructions

After the Visit

  • Take medicines exactly as prescribed — complete the full course of antibiotics
  • Get recommended tests done within the suggested timeframe
  • Watch for warning signs the doctor mentions and come back if they appear
  • Keep your prescription and reports filed for future visits
  • Schedule follow-up if symptoms persist beyond the expected recovery time

  • Fever lasting more than 3 days
  • Persistent cough, cold, or sore throat
  • Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
  • Recurring headaches or body aches
  • Digestive issues — acidity, loose motions, constipation

If you experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden severe headache, or loss of consciousness, visit an emergency department immediately.
