Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Manohar Reddy 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:
- Mineral Metabolism Disorders: If your body isn't processing minerals correctly, it can affect your bones, muscles, and even your heart. Working with your doctor to find the right treatment plan—often involving diet and medication—can help you stay active and healthy.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT) is a concerning decline in older adults marked by unintentional weight loss, decreased activity, and sadness. Working with a healthcare team to uncover and address the root causes can help restore their health and improve their enjoyment of life.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Imagine a blood clot forming in a deep leg vein—that's a DVT; early detection is key, and with appropriate medical care such as medication and compression stockings, you can significantly reduce the risk of dangerous complications and improve your overall comfort and ability to move around.
- ADHD and-or ADD: Untreated ADHD or ADD in later life can lead to difficulties managing daily tasks and impacting social interactions; however, a comprehensive approach involving medication, therapy, and support groups can greatly enhance a senior's ability to live independently and enjoy life to the fullest.
- Acute Upper Respiratory Infection: An acute upper respiratory infection is a short-lived infection in your upper airways that can cause symptoms like a cough, sneezing, and congestion. While it can be uncomfortable, focusing on rest and hydration will usually help your body fight it off quickly, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Acute Venous Embolism Thrombosis: An acute venous embolism thrombosis means a blood clot has formed in a deep vein and may travel to your lungs, causing breathing difficulties; early diagnosis and treatment with blood thinners are crucial to reduce risks and maintain your independence.
- 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.
- Diverticulosis: Diverticulosis involves tiny pockets forming in your large intestine. While often symptom-free, it's manageable with adjustments to your diet and, if needed, medication to prevent complications and keep you feeling your best.
- Asphyxia and Hypoxemia: Asphyxia and hypoxemia refer to a lack of oxygen in the body, which can be caused by breathing problems or other medical conditions; prompt medical attention is crucial to restore oxygen levels and prevent serious complications, improving quality of life and maintaining independence.
- Limb Pain: Persistent limb pain can be a symptom of an underlying condition. Consulting your doctor will help determine the cause, ensuring you receive the most appropriate treatment and support to stay comfortable and mobile.
- Abnormal Thyroid: If your thyroid is abnormal, it might be producing too much or too little of important hormones; treatment, often medication, helps restore balance, reducing symptoms and improving your energy levels and quality of life.
- Malaise and Fatigue: Feeling constantly tired and unwell is common as we age, but it's important to understand that underlying medical conditions or medication side effects can be the cause, and these can often be managed to improve your energy levels and overall well-being.
