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 Your Visit
- 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 Your 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
Health Tips from a General Physician's Perspective
Get annual health check-ups after age 30
Basic blood work (CBC, sugar, lipids, thyroid) can catch problems early when they're easiest to treat.
Stay hydrated — drink 2-3 litres of water daily
Dehydration causes headaches, fatigue, and kidney problems. Increase intake during summer and exercise.
Don't self-medicate with antibiotics
Antibiotic resistance is a growing crisis in India. Always consult a doctor before taking antibiotics.
Get 7-8 hours of sleep nightly
Poor sleep increases risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and weakens immunity.
Eat a balanced diet with seasonal fruits and vegetables
Indian diets often lack protein and fibre. Include dal, eggs, green vegetables, and whole grains daily.
Exercise at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week
Brisk walking, cycling, or yoga reduces risk of heart disease, diabetes, and depression by 30-40%.
Manage stress through meditation or hobbies
Chronic stress raises cortisol, leading to weight gain, high BP, and weakened immunity.
