Lately I haven’t felt like myself. It’s small things like fatigue, lack of concentration, etc. But the little things are adding up. I made a resolution to be health conscious in 2010 and I’m sticking to it.
So in the next week or two I’ll be making an appointment with my doctor to get a physical and have some tests done. As a 23 year old with no history of health problems, a doctor’s visit is foreign to me. Of course I’ve been to the doctor before, but not enough to learn the language. Writing for LemakHealth has helped though.
The doctor will have a checklist: he’ll ask me questions about my family’s health history, take my pulse, check my temperature, weight and height. He’ll probably ask me some embarrassing questions, but, no matter how embarrassed I might get, I promise to be completely honest.
In addition to the doc’s checklist, I’m taking my own.
This is what I’m going to ask:
I think I’m being thorough, but I’ll take recommendations for other questions to ask. Later, I’ll post a follow-up.
