Answers:

It'll just be common stuff.
They'll probably ask you things like: do you drink? do you smoke? do your parents smoke? are you sexually active? how much sleep do you get at night? They'll most likely check your blood pressure, and your heart ( if it's your general practiontioner), listen to your lungs (if it's your general practiotiner), check your balance by having you walk a straight line (once again if you're at your GP's office), maybe do a breast exam since your 17 (that could be done at a GP or a GYN), perhaps order some bloodwork just to check levels. If you're going to your GYN, they'll ask a lot of the same questions, but also ask how your periods are, if they're regular or not, then they'll definately do a breast exam, maybe put you on the pill if you're periods have been weird lately, but that'll be about it. Nothing to worry about.
