This is even more true if there are underlying medical conditions. If you don’t know you have the problem, it can come as something of a surprise. What to do? Time for a checkup. Here is what you should do before, during and after your visit.

* Make a list of symptoms: These can be minor things such as muscle pain after activities or major things such as chest pain or pressure. Think about them, write them down and bring them with you. These can provide important clues.
* Make a list of supplements and medications: Your doctor needs to know everything you take, whether it’s an herbal preparation, over the counter or prescription medications. There are times when these products can have interactions or side effects that are harmful to you.
* List major physical activities: The doctor doesn’t need to know everything you do during the day, but if you play sports, exercise regularly or do a lot of garden or yard work, the doctor should be told. Some activities may have to be moderated, depending on the results of your checkup.
* Write down your questions: It’s hard to remember everything when you go to see your doctor. Writing it down helps. Don’t bring a three page list, keep them to the most important two or three questions you have. If the questions are all on the same topic, you can add a few more to the list.
* Doctor speak: Sometimes your doctor may use a term you are unfamiliar with. It does neither of you good if you can’t understand what’s being said, so don’t be shy about asking for it to be explained.
* Follow instructions: One of the most frustrating things for doctors has to be the patients that don’t do what is recommended. If blood tests are ordered, please do it. If something’s been bandaged, follow instructions about leaving it on or changing it. It’s not always easy, but there is usually a very good reason for these instructions.
