What happens when you go to your physician depends on your cause.   The doctor will check your vital signs. They will review your medical history and medication list. Your physician will ask about your symptoms and general health. Your doctor will usually do a physical examination of you. Doctors want to have a complete picture of your health.   As part of your physical exam, your physician will usually:   • Consider your general appearance, including your posture and movement • Listen to your heart to look for heart murmurs, irregular heartbeats, or other unusual sounds • Listen for crackles, wheezing, or shortness of breath • check your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and throat • Check your skin and nails.   For a health check, a doctor may order screening tests, such as a B. lipid panel or a bone density test. For specific concerns, the doctor will order the appropriate tests, whether it is a simple urinalysis or more complex tests such as imaging tests. You may be asked to come back for a follow-up appointment, or your doctor may recommend that you see another specialist.   If you see another specialist, your internist can consult with your other doctors, coordinate your treatment, and check for drug interactions. The best internists are proactive and can advise you on lifestyle changes and steps you can take to avoid future problems. They will also look for mental health issues, such as depression.   Call 9-1-1 immediately if you think you may need emergency medical treatment like if you passed out or lost consciousness. Watch closely for any changes in your health and contact your doctor if you start to see any negative changes in your health. Come to Mercy Medical Clinic today.
