Even if you’re feeling well, an annual physical can identify potential health issues before they become serious. Early detection is crucial for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease, which may not show symptoms until they’re advanced.
You should bring a list of any medications you’re currently taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. If you have any health concerns or symptoms, note those down to discuss with your provider. You should also have information about your family medical history if it’s changed.
Routine blood tests and screenings may be recommended depending on your age, risk factors, and health history. These could include cholesterol tests, blood sugar levels, or other diagnostic tests to evaluate your overall health.
The exam usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on any tests required or health concerns you may want to discuss. If additional screenings are needed, such as lab work or diagnostic imaging, those might be scheduled for another time.
If you have a chronic condition like diabetes or hypertension, an annual physical allows us to monitor how well the condition is being managed and adjust treatments as necessary. It also helps prevent complications by ensuring that your medications and management plan are effective.
If we identify any health issues that require specialized care during your annual physical, we will refer you to an appropriate specialist and help coordinate the next steps in your care.
