These are some vital signs checked by your health practitioner

• Blood pressure: Less than 120 over 80 is a normal blood pressure. Doctors define high blood pressure (hypertension) as 140 over 90 or higher.
• Heart rate: Values between 60 and 100 are considered normal. However, healthy people can have heart rates slower than 60.
• Respiration rate: 12 to 16 breaths per minute is normal for a healthy adult. Breathing more than 20 times per minute can suggest heart or lung problems.
• Temperature: 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is the average, but healthy people can have resting temperatures slightly higher or lower.
• Heart Exam: Checks for an irregular heartbeat, a heart murmur, or other clues to heart disease.
• Lung Exam: Checks for breath sounds including crackles, wheezes, or decreased breath. These and other clues indicate heart or lung disease.
• Head and Neck Exam: Checks your throat and tonsils, teeth and gums, ears, nose, sinuses, eyes, lymph nodes, thyroid, and carotid arteries.
• Abdominal Exam: Tapping your abdomen can detect liver size and presence of abdominal fluid; the health practitioner will also listen for bowel sounds with a stethoscope, and palpate for tenderness.
• Neurological Exam: Nerves, muscle strength, reflexes, balance, and mental state may be assessed.
• Dermatological Exam: Skin and nail exam could indicate a dermatological or other health problem.
• Extremities Exam: Pulses can be checked in arms and legs.
• Female physical exam: Breast and pelvic exam.
• Laboratory tests: Blood count, chemistry panel, urinalysis.
• Screening tests: Cholesterol and blood glucose tests.
