If you suspect a health problem, it is normal that the idea of ??going to the doctor cause you anxiety. It would be easier to ask questions of your friends, family or even strangers, is not it? But the truth is that the only person qualified to diagnose what you have is your doctor. It’s your body, your health and your right to ask questions. (The most important thing is to ensure that you are asking the questions the right person!)
5 sample questions are:
1. if you are prescribed a medication, ask about possible side effects. Each person is different and it is natural to ask questions about the reactions.
2. If your doctor tells you to get tested, ask what is it exactly and what it is.
3. If given a diagnosis, ask what changes have to do in their daily lives.
4. If your doctor recommends treatment, ask if there are other options or what would happen if you decide not to have treatment.
5. If your doctor recommends surgery, ask why you need it, and what are the risks and benefits for your health.
