Use Mnemonics
You can use mnemonics like LIQOR AAA for pain.
Location,
Intensity,
Quality,
Onset,
Radiation,
Associated Sx,
Aggravating and
Alleviating factors.
Actually you can the same LIQOR AAA for few other symptoms with a few changes.
The same way - you can use PAM HUGS FOSS for a brief Overview of what to cover.

You can actually jot down on your sheet of paper in Vertical Direction like this so that - in a hurry - you do not miss to ask a question about each of these. This is what I did-
I wrote like this this vertically on the sheet so that I can ask one question and note down any important things if I need to write in the appropriate column. Do not write too much while in the room just a few things to aid in memory.
