What are my medical history?
Do you ever wonder why it matters whether your grandmother had diabetes or high blood pressure when you fill out paperwork at the doctor's office? Similar questions are also posed to you by your doctor. Why is it crucial?

Your personal and family medical histories are included in your medical history. Your personal health history contains information about any health issues you have had in the past. Information about health issues that your blood relatives experienced during their lifetimes can be found in a family health history.
