The pattern
"I have" plus a noun is how you say what belongs to you, what is wrong with you and what is on your schedule. "I have a sister" is family. "I have a headache" is your body. "I have a meeting at ten" is your calendar. One verb covers all three, which is why it is among the first sentences worth making automatic.
In American speech "I've got" means the same thing and is just as common: "I've got a meeting at ten." Both are correct. The question form is "Do you have...?", not "Have you...?", in American English.
