I had a general check up. vs I had a medical check up.

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I had a general check-up' implies a routine examination without specifying the type of check-up. 'I had a medical check-up' specifies that the examination was related to medical issues. The choice between the two depends on the level of detail you want to provide.
