How to Read a Medical Chart?

No matter what Medical Chart you plan to use, here are several tips that will help you grasp the information you are about to see:

1. Only refer to the latest version of the instrument - and choose the diagram appropriate for your age group and level of fitness. For instance, professional athletes will have higher or lower readings in many areas of health which does not automatically mean they are ill.
2. Make sure you pay attention to the notes below the chart - it is possible the creator of the diagram did not want to overload the main image and the instructions you must follow when a certain symptom manifests or exceptions from the rule were written in small letters.
3. Do not treat the information on the Medical Chart as the ultimate truth - you cannot adjust your medication or go on a restrictive diet based on the specifics you have read on the diagram. Talk to your doctor once you believe something is wrong and tell them you have used a Patient Chart to figure that out.
