Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Aurindom Narayan provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Dermatitis Due to Substances Taken Internally: Certain medications or even some foods can trigger a skin reaction, resulting in dermatitis from internal substances; working with your doctor to find the cause and adjust your intake will ease this discomfort and maintain your quality of life.
- Dry Skin: Dry skin can be a nuisance, but it’s often easily treated. With the right moisturizer and some simple lifestyle adjustments, you can maintain soft, healthy skin and feel better about yourself.
- Hernia: Sometimes, internal organs can push through a weak area in the muscle, creating a hernia, which can be corrected with surgery or other treatments to improve your comfort and prevent further issues.
- Acute Bronchitis: Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways in your lungs, leading to a cough and sometimes shortness of breath; with appropriate care, you can manage symptoms and quickly return to your normal activities.

- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): COPD involves ongoing damage to your lungs, making it difficult to take deep breaths, but medication, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes can significantly improve your breathing and quality of life.
- Reflux Esophagitis: Treatment for reflux esophagitis aims to reduce stomach acid and soothe the irritated esophagus, improving digestion and reducing painful symptoms.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): DVT, or a blood clot in a deep vein, can be uncomfortable and even dangerous, but it's treatable; by working closely with your doctor and following their recommendations for medication and lifestyle changes, you can greatly reduce your risk of serious issues and improve your quality of life.
- Acute Lower Respiratory Infection: ALRI, such as pneumonia or bronchitis, is a sudden lung infection causing symptoms like coughing and difficulty breathing; early diagnosis and treatment are key to speeding up recovery and preventing complications that could impact your independence.
