COMMON GP CONCERNS
A GP is often the right place to start when you feel unwell, have a new symptom, or need help with a common everyday health problem. You do not need to know the diagnosis before you book.
Have a fever, chills, or feel unusually hot or cold? A GP can review your symptoms, history, and other signs to help decide what should happen next.
Coughing, congestion, runny nose, body aches, or feeling generally unwell? Book a GP visit for an assessment of your symptoms.
Pain when swallowing, throat irritation, or a sore throat that is not improving? A GP can assess whether further treatment or testing is needed.

Dealing with stomach pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or other digestive symptoms? A GP can help decide the next step.
Muscle aches, joint discomfort, back pain, or general body pain? Discuss the symptoms and how long they have affected you.

WHY AAMC FOR GP CARE
When you have a fever, cough, sore throat, stomach problem, headache, or another common health concern, you usually do not want to spend time trying to work out which specialist you need. A GP gives you a practical place to start.
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis. Tell the doctor what you are experiencing, when it started, what has changed, and whether you have any other symptoms.
Some problems can be managed after a GP assessment. Others may need testing, medication, monitoring, follow-up, a specialist opinion, or more urgent care.
If you take medication, have recent test results, or have already tried treatment elsewhere, bring that information with you.
AAMC’s GP service is for everyday adult medical needs, including new symptoms, minor illnesses, medication questions, and general health concerns.

FEVER, COUGH, COLD & FLU-TYPE SYMPTOMS
Fever, cough, congestion, sore throat, body aches, chills, and tiredness are common reasons people book a GP appointment. The symptoms may feel familiar, but the right next step depends on the full picture.
A fever can happen alongside many illnesses. The doctor can review how high it has been, how long it has lasted, other symptoms, current medications, and relevant history.
Tell the doctor when it started, whether it is improving, whether you have fever, shortness of breath or chest discomfort, and what medication you have tried.
You may want a GP review for a combination of blocked or runny nose, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills, headache, tiredness, fever, or feeling unwell.
If symptoms have continued longer than expected, changed, or become harder to manage, bring details of how they developed and any treatment already tried.
Fever, cough, and flu-like symptoms are common. Your treatment should still be based on your individual assessment.


STOMACH & DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMS
Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, and other digestive symptoms are common reasons to see a GP. Some settle quickly. Others need a closer look, especially if they are persistent, recurring, or happening alongside other symptoms.
The doctor may review where the pain is, when it started, whether eating affects it, any nausea or vomiting, changes in bowel habits, fever, or other symptoms.
These symptoms can be short-lived, but can also lead to dehydration or signal a problem that needs medical attention.
The consultation can review the pattern, possible food-related triggers, medications, previous history, and whether further investigation should be considered.
Bring previous test results, prescriptions, or reports if symptoms keep returning. You do not need to work out the cause before booking.
HEADACHE, BODY ACHES & MINOR PAIN
Headaches, muscle aches, back pain, and other minor pain concerns are common reasons to book a GP visit. The doctor may need to look at the pattern, other symptoms, medications, and your history before deciding what should happen next.

The doctor may ask when the headache started, where the pain is, how often it happens, possible triggers, other symptoms, and medication already taken.
Body aches may happen with illness, physical strain, poor sleep, or other health concerns. Persistent or recurring discomfort can be reviewed in context.
A GP can review how the pain started, what movements affect it, whether there are other symptoms, and whether further assessment is needed.
Common pain involving shoulders, knees, wrists, ankles, muscles, or general aches after activity or strain can be reviewed.
Tell the doctor if you also have fever, weakness, dizziness, numbness, swelling, recent injury, or new or worsening symptoms.
OTHER COMMON GP CONCERNS
Not every GP visit starts with a fever, cough, or stomach problem. You can also book for urinary symptoms, minor skin concerns, medication questions, or other everyday adult health issues that need a doctor’s review.
Burning or discomfort when passing urine, increased frequency, urgency, lower abdominal discomfort, changes in urine, or other new urinary symptoms can be assessed.
A GP can be a practical first step for a new rash, itching, irritation, minor allergic-type skin reactions, localised redness, or other new skin changes.
Bring the medication or an up-to-date list if you have questions about side effects, how you take it, several medications, or concerns after starting treatment.
A GP can review minor strains, small cuts or wounds, minor swelling, everyday aches after activity, or other non-emergency concerns.
If you feel weak, achy, tired, feverish, or generally unwell, you do not need to identify the cause yourself. Start by describing what has changed.

YOUR GP VISIT
A GP visit starts with the problem you have today. The doctor reviews your symptoms, relevant medical history, medications, and any other information that may help explain what is going on.
Start with the main concern. You do not need to know the diagnosis before the consultation begins.
The doctor may ask when symptoms started, how they changed, other symptoms, medications, existing conditions, and treatment already tried.
The doctor may perform a relevant physical examination depending on your symptoms. The exact assessment depends on the reason for your visit.
The next step may include advice, medication where appropriate, testing, monitoring, follow-up, referral, or more urgent care.
The aim is to make the plan clear: what was reviewed, the recommended next step, what to monitor, and whether follow-up is needed.
TESTS, PRESCRIPTIONS & REFERRALS
Not every GP visit ends with the same plan. Depending on your symptoms, medical history, examination, and any results you already have, the doctor may recommend treatment, testing, follow-up, or referral to another service.
Further tests may be considered when they help answer a clinical question. The exact test depends on the reason for the visit.
Medication may be considered based on your symptoms, current medicines, allergies, conditions, previous treatment, and relevant results.
Bring names or photos of prescription and over-the-counter medicines so the doctor can understand what you use or have tried.
If the problem falls outside routine GP management, the next step may involve referral for a more focused assessment.
Some problems need another review after treatment starts or test results become available. The doctor can explain what and when to review.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARE
A GP is a practical starting point for many common adult health problems. But some concerns may be better suited to Internal Medicine, another specialist, or urgent emergency care.
Start with a GP for common everyday problems such as fever, cough, sore throat, headache, stomach symptoms, urinary symptoms, minor skin concerns, body aches, medication questions, minor injuries, or feeling unwell.
Internal Medicine may suit broader or more complex concerns, several symptoms together, ongoing conditions, multiple medications, repeated abnormal results, long-term unexplained symptoms, or preventive adult health review.
Explore Internal MedicineSome symptoms should not wait for routine GP care, including severe breathing difficulty, sudden chest pain, loss of consciousness, stroke signs, severe bleeding, serious injury, a sudden severe allergic reaction, or rapidly worsening symptoms.
