- Analyzing your breathing and checking for wheezing, shortness of breath, and so on.
- Doing a checkup of your ears, eyes, throat, nose, etc.

Your doctor may also order screening tests (think: lipid panel, bone density test, etc.) or more specific tests such as urinalysis, imaging testing, etc. In most cases, the internist might ask you to come back for a follow-up visit or may suggest another specialist.
