Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Grace Imson 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:
- Insomnia: Experiencing insomnia means struggling to get enough restful sleep, which can leave you feeling tired and irritable during the day; however, many effective strategies and medical interventions are available to help improve your sleep.
- Hypotension: Managing hypotension involves identifying the underlying cause and working with your doctor to adjust medications or lifestyle factors to maintain a healthy blood pressure, thus enhancing your quality of life.
- Viral Hepatitis: Viral hepatitis, a liver infection from viruses like Hepatitis A, B, or C, can be treated with antiviral medications to reduce liver damage and improve your overall health.
- Cough: A cough may signal a minor illness or something more serious, so don't hesitate to discuss it with your doctor to receive the right treatment and maintain your independence.
- Gait Abnormality: A gait abnormality is a change in the way you walk, which can make it harder to move around safely and comfortably, but with the right assessment and plan, it can be managed and often improved.
- Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland, meaning it doesn't produce enough hormones to keep your body functioning at its best, but with medication, you can feel more energetic and manage your symptoms effectively.
- Tension Headache: If you're dealing with persistent head tightness or pressure, it could be a tension headache. Thankfully, these headaches are usually manageable with self-care strategies such as regular exercise and mindfulness techniques, promoting a better quality of life.
- Yeast Infections: If you suspect a yeast infection, don't hesitate to contact your doctor. With appropriate diagnosis and treatment, you can experience a quick resolution and improved comfort levels, enabling you to maintain your independence.
- Atrophic Vaginitis: As we age, the vagina can become thinner and drier, leading to atrophic vaginitis, a condition causing irritation and discomfort; however, simple treatments like moisturizers and hormone therapy can greatly alleviate these symptoms.
- Acute Sinusitis: Experiencing sinus pain, congestion, and headaches may indicate acute sinusitis, a common infection easily managed with a doctor's guidance using medication or home remedies to promote healing and maintain comfort.
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Blood in your urine is a sign that needs a medical check-up. Early detection and proper care can ease your concerns and maintain your quality of life.
- Reflux Esophagitis: Managing reflux esophagitis often involves lifestyle changes like dietary adjustments and avoiding late-night eating, helping you feel more comfortable and maintain your daily activities.
