It’s important to visit your PCP annually for a routine checkup to ensure you are healthy and to keep an eye on any chronic illnesses. As a PCP sees you over time, updates your records and learns about your health habits and history, personality and lifestyle, it’s easier to spot possible changes in your health. You should also visit your PCP if you notice any changes in your health, such as new pain, discomfort or fatigue. Your PCP can run tests to determine any lifestyle changes or treatments you may need to feel whole again.
