Scheduling an early appointment with your primary care physician should be considered whenever there is something that’s worrying you.

• High, persistent fever

• Unexplained weight loss

• Difficulty breathing (a.k.a dyspnea)· Severe pain (anywhere)

• Mental confusion

These are a few of the symptoms that may need to be addressed by your physician; however, if you have any other unusual symptoms, a visit to your doctor may be warranted.

What questions should you ask your doctor?

During the check-up, you can ask your doctor whatever you want, but here are some interesting questions to keep in mind:

· What is the goal of this test?

· What results should I expect from this test?

· Are there any adverse effects to this therapy/drug?

· How will I know if the treatment is working or not?

· Should I continue taking the treatment even after my symptoms improve?

What to expect from the visit?

After your check-up, your doctor should have explained everything about the reason you came to visit, how it should be treated, and when you should expect your symptoms to get better.
