FAQs
General Medicine is a medical speciality that is concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of acute as well as chronic diseases affecting any part of the body. Doctors who specialize in General Medicine are called Physicians or General Internists.
While a General Physician’s scope of services is very extensive, some common examples of care they provide include:
- Routine screenings
- Treating illness and injuries
- Mental health checks
- Managing long-term (chronic) illness
- References to specialists
- Follow-up care
During your appointment, a Physician would typically:
- Assess your health
- Discuss medical history and symptoms
- Run diagnostic tests
- Develop a treatment plan
- Advise you about any lifestyle changes
- Give you thorough information about your condition and treatment
- Prescribe medication
- Refer you to a specialist or arrange a follow-up appointment
The common standbys are always true: Diet and exercise are key ingredients in a healthy lifestyle. But did you realize that getting a good night’s sleep is also vital for good health? Your Physician will help you identify positive behaviors you may have overlooked that are pertinent to your well-being.
- Avoid aerated beverages.
- Exercise regularly and lead an active lifestyle.
- Eat nuts that are good for your heart, such as walnuts, almonds and unsalted peanuts.
- Don’t skip breakfast. Make sure you have a serving of whole grains or fruit.
- Wash your hands often to avoid infections.
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Find ways to beat stress and lower your blood pressure. Relax with deep breathing, yoga or meditation.
- Regular health checkups & doctor visits.
- Exercise for at least 45 minutes every day( at least 5 days in a week)
- Maintain proper meal timings
- Have small and frequent meals
- Have lots of vegetables in each meal
- Include sprouted grains everyday as a pre-meal salad/ intermediary snack
- Prefer food preparation methods like steaming/pressure cooking/ boiling to frying
- Prefer wheat/ jowar / ragi / maize-based preparations and whole legumes like chana, moong, rajma, soya, green peas to rice or maida-based preparations and dals because of their high in fiber content.
Apart from medication, lifestyle changes can help you in lowering blood pressure.
- Eat a healthier diet with less salt. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables prevent narrowing of blood vessels.

- Quit smoking

Always remember the 3 key words – SMS (Sanitizing , Masking, Social Distancing).
Just as eating, drinking and breathing, sleep is vital for maintaining good mental health and for our physical well-being. It also helps us to recover mentally from physical exertion.
