Family Medical Records

It is always beneficial for a household to jot down a history of diseases their family of origin has. For example, if one of your family members have tachycardia, then you have to put that in writing, alongside all the other diseases.

First, this could help your family pinpoint some physiological weaknesses and susceptibility. Second, now that you have a list, you wouldn’t have to wonder what to write in your next doctor’s appointment (they usually require this kind of list on the initial visit). You might want to save this file with the rest of your medical records, make sure to make a copy that you can bring along during an appointment with the doctor.
