There are several steps that you can take before a physical exam. Here are the top seven tips recommended before your physical to get the best results: 1. Before your exam, it is important that you get a good, full night’s sleep so that your blood pressure is as low as possible 2. It is important that you keep your blood pressure down, so avoid caffeine or other caffeinated drinks before your physical exam 3. If you need to provide a urine sample as part of your exam, it is recommended that you drink water two hours before your exam 4. If you take any medication – be it prescription or over the counter – bring a list of the medication names for your physician or provider to record 5.
