A typical Routine check-up will include a review of your medical history – the past and present medical problems, medications, surgeries, hospitalizations, allergies, and family history. It’s important to come prepared with this information as well as a list of any questions or concerns. This will enable the physician to order any needed tests, prescribe treatment, or give further medical advice.
Routine physicals will also include measuring your height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate. The comprehensive nature of the exam and any additional testing will depend on your age and symptoms.
