For a complete physical, there is usually bloodwork done. When you eat something, or drink something besides water, this affects the chemistry of your blood. Therefore, the physician will want to get a pure sample of your blood to examine.
If you eat something with a lot of sugar, for example, your blood will show high sugar concentration and the physician will diagnose accordingly.
If you have eat or drink before the physical exam, your blood pressure will increase so that you can not perform well in physical exam.

Can you drink coffee before a thyroid test?
If you are only being tested for thyroid function, and your doctor has not asked you to do otherwise, you do not need to fast. If you are undergoing a physical exam for your hyperthyroidism, it is allowed, although unwise to indulge in coffee before the exam, as caffeine can make your hyperthyroid symptoms seem much worse. This would potentially lead the physician to get an unclear impression of the impact of the dysfunction to your system. With an altered impression, it is possible you could end up over-treated for your condition.
