Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jean Lamour 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:
- Animal Allergies: Animal allergies happen when your immune system mistakenly reacts to pet dander, saliva, or other animal substances, causing symptoms like sneezing, itching, or rash, but these can often be managed with medication and avoiding triggers to improve your comfort.
- Chest Pain: Chest pain can signal a heart problem, requiring prompt medical attention for diagnosis and treatment to improve your heart health and reduce future risks.
- Sickle Cell Disease: Sickle cell disease affects how your body makes red blood cells, potentially leading to painful episodes and other health challenges, however, regular check-ups and treatments can significantly reduce symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
- Cough: Chronic coughing can significantly impact your quality of life, but with proper diagnosis and treatment, such as medication or lifestyle changes, you can regain control and enjoy your daily activities.
- Polyuria: Experiencing excessive urination (polyuria)? This can be a sign of several medical issues but don't worry—with proper diagnosis and treatment from your physician, you can find ways to manage it and improve your quality of life.

Careful monitoring of blood sugar, medication as prescribed, and regular checkups are essential to minimize discomfort and protect your overall health.

- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): Living with COPD means your airways are narrowed, making it challenging to breathe comfortably, yet managing this condition through proper medication and therapies helps maintain independence and mobility.
