General Medicine
జనరల్ మెడిసిన్
General medicine is the right place to start when you are unwell and unsure which specialist to see. A physician assesses your symptoms, treats common illnesses, manages long-term conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and refers you to a specialist within the hospital when needed.
When to consider a consultation
- Fever, cough, cold or infections that do not settle
- Diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid problems that need regular review
- Persistent tiredness, weakness or unexplained weight change
- Breathlessness or swelling in the legs
- Abnormal blood test results you want explained
- A general health check-up
These are common reasons people seek care. They do not diagnose a condition. Your doctor decides what applies to you.
Seek emergency care if
- Chest pain or pressure
- Severe difficulty in breathing
- Fainting or confusion
- Very high fever with drowsiness, stiff neck or a rash
- Very high or very low blood sugar with drowsiness
