General Physician in Jammu

What a general physician treats

An internal medicine physician looks after the health of adults as a whole rather than one organ. At this clinic that means fever and infections, respiratory problems such as cough and breathlessness, thyroid disorders, blood pressure, diabetes, heart-related risk, and the general complaints that do not fit a neat label: tiredness, weight change, poor sleep, aches that will not settle.

When one doctor sees you over time, a problem can be read in the context of your history, your reports and your other medicines, which is the advantage of having a physician rather than a different doctor for each complaint.

The general check-up

The clinic's general check-up costs ₹1,000 and includes a physical examination, blood pressure measurement, fasting and post-meal blood sugar testing, cholesterol screening and a detailed consultation with personalised advice. If you have not seen a doctor in a while, have a family history of diabetes or heart disease, or want a baseline, ask when you book whether the check-up is the right visit for you.

What to bring

Any previous medical reports, a list of the medicines you take (or the strips themselves), and, if you have them, recent blood test results. If your check-up includes a fasting blood sugar test, ask the clinic when you book how long to fast and what to do about any medicines you take that morning; do not stop a medicine on your own.

When not to wait for an appointment

Chest pain, sudden weakness or numbness on one side, difficulty speaking, severe breathlessness, or a very high fever with confusion are emergencies. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department rather than waiting for a clinic slot.
