Annual Exams Q&A

What are annual exams?

 

Annual exams are physical exams you have once a year. Health monitoring is important at every stage of life, and annual exams are one of the best ways to do that. 

 

The Primary Medical Physicians, LLC team assesses your general health, notes changes, and screens for early indicators of chronic disease during your annual exams. They provide annual exams at every stage of life, from adolescence to the geriatric years. 

What can I expect during annual exams?

 

During annual exams, the team takes a medical history, evaluates your disease risk factors, and asks about any health issues or symptoms you’ve experienced lately. They’ll also discuss your current medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbs. 

 

The physical exam portion of your visit involves checking:

 

  • Height and weight
  • Body mass index (BMI)
  • Body temperature
  • Blood pressure
  • Eyes
  • Ears
  • Nose
  • Throat
  • Abdomen
  • Heart
  • Lungs

 

Based on your risk factors and the results of your initial assessment, the team may perform other tests. 

 

Primary Medical Physicians, LLC offers blood draws and other specimen collection on site, and they send specimens to a leading facility for lab testing. For example, many patients need blood testing to check their cholesterol and blood sugar levels. 

 

EKG, which checks the rhythm, speed, strength, and timing of your heart’s electrical impulses, is available in the office as well. You might need an EKG to establish a baseline of your heart function, evaluate symptoms like chest pain, or screen for heart conditions.

 

After your physical exam, the team explains their findings and recommendations. You might need to take some steps to improve your health and prevent serious problems like diabetes or heart disease. For example, the team might recommend medical weight loss and a cholesterol management plan. 

 

If you have a chronic medical condition, the team provides detailed guidance to help you control your symptoms and improve your health. For example, you may need help managing asthma, chronic pain, arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other issues effectively.
