Best Answer

At a physical exam, the doctor will run a number of simple, non-intrusive tests for possible illnesses.

Almost always, the the exam will involve the doctor or nurse:

Blood pressure and heart rate measurement

Visually inspecting your eyes and ears with a magnifying glass

Visually inspecting your tongue

Visually inspecting your genitals

Testing your reflexes with a light tap

Testing for a hernia

Asking you questions about how you've been feeling

It's also common for the doctor or nurse to take a small blood sample for testing.

It can mean to have an exam of your body by the doctor to see if you are fit.
