Medical:10 Things you should ask your doctor

You know important things about your symptoms and your health history. Tell your doctor what you think he or she needs to know.
It is important to tell your doctor personal information—even if it makes you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.
Bring a “health history” list with you, and keep it up to date. You might want to make a copy of the form for each member of your family.
Always bring any medicines you are taking, or a list of those medicines (include when and how often you take them) and what strength. Talk about any allergies or reactions you have had to your medicines.
Tell your doctor about any herbal products you use or alternative medicines or treatments you receive.
Bring other medical information, such as x-ray films, test results, and medical records.
