Why you need a physical – even if you feel healthy.
Your yearly visit can catch problems before they get serious – and may unlock new ways to manage chronic conditions. It can be easy to miss an appointment if you feel healthy. But here’s why this visit with your primary care provider matters so much.

If you’ve let your annual physical go by the wayside for a year or more, you’re not alone. Stewart Trimble, MD, an internal medicine doctor with Novant Health Sewee Family Medicine in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, explained why it’s crucial to see your primary care provider yearly.

Cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other problems don’t always show up in a dramatic, obvious way. An annual physical can catch those things early when they are still treatable. We’re also able to address mental health concerns you may have.

Your primary care provider will ask you health questions, measure your vitals, take labs and examine you to make sure you’re not living with a treatable condition. I’ve had patients come in with wildly uncontrolled diabetes who had no idea they had developed the disease. A patient just like that was here recently for his annual physical. His pressure was sky-high, and he had no idea. He thought he'd always been strong and healthy. He had no symptoms. Another patient hadn’t been to a doctor in many years. His lab results showed he had diabetes.

Your meds need a regular review. You should review every medication you take and discuss why each one is necessary. It’s always good to ask if you might be able to take less or even safely discontinue some of your medications if you have a heavy pill burden.

You need to establish a baseline for your health. That way, you have some basis for comparison. If you and your doctor see any variation, any degradation, anything that's getting worse, you can address it. In America, I should add, our cholesterol will almost always get worse.

If you have an established primary care doctor, schedule your annual checkup through MyChart.
