What does a doctor do check up?

During a checkup, a doctor will typically:

1. Review your medical history. This includes asking about your past illnesses, surgeries, medications, and family medical history.

2. Perform a physical exam. This involves checking your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature), listening to your heart and lungs, feeling your abdomen, and looking at your skin.

3. Order laboratory tests. These may include blood tests, urine tests, and imaging tests (such as X-rays).

4. Discuss your health concerns. This is an opportunity to talk to your doctor about any problems you've been having, such as pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue.

5. Develop a treatment plan. If you have any health problems, your doctor will recommend a treatment plan. This may include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes.

6. Schedule a follow-up appointment. Your doctor will recommend a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

The frequency of checkups will vary depending on your age, health, and risk factors. For most adults, it is recommended to have a checkup at least once a year.
