This is the time of year when people start scheduling their annual checkups. It's advisable for you to do certain things before going for an annual checkup such as making lists of medical complaints and all your medications. If the doctor is new to you, get your medical records in order, including your family medical history. It's easy to give a doctor a quick rundown of how you're feeling. Detailed medical histories can help a doctor decide what tests are most worth doing. Quite a few medical conditions run in families. The more the doctor knows about your family's history, the better chance there is of finding something early, before symptoms even begin. There are also things you write down ahead of time, including questions for the doctor. If you're not sure what certain symptoms or pains or marks on your body might mean, ask. You also should ask if you're not completely sure how to take your medicines. And you should be prepared to ask how you will learn the results of the tests you're given. Some are ready instantly, but others need to be analyzed by a lab. Will the doctor send you the results, or should you call the doctor?
