Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Marta Klisinska 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:
- Shortness of Breath: Experiencing shortness of breath? It's a signal that something may need attention, and through proper medical care and lifestyle changes, you can regain your breath and energy.
- Ringworm: Ringworm, despite its name, isn't caused by a worm but a fungus that creates a ring-shaped rash on your skin; prompt treatment with medication from your physician can clear up the rash and prevent discomfort.
- Yeast Infections: Yeast infections, though sometimes embarrassing, are common and manageable health concerns, particularly for older adults. Prompt medical attention ensures effective treatment and a return to your normal activities.
- Sleep-Related Leg Cramp: Managing nighttime leg cramps involves simple stretches before bed, staying hydrated, and addressing potential underlying medical conditions to improve your sleep and overall well-being.
- Malaise and Fatigue: Experiencing persistent tiredness and a general feeling of being unwell shouldn't be dismissed; it could signal an underlying health concern that your doctor can address, potentially leading to improved energy and a better quality of life.
- Chronic Depression (Dysthymia): Chronic depression, or dysthymia, is a condition where feelings of sadness and hopelessness last for a long time, but working with a healthcare professional can help you find the right treatment to alleviate these symptoms and lead a more fulfilling life.
- Sickle Cell Disease: Sickle cell disease is a blood disorder where abnormal red blood cells can block blood flow, causing pain and organ damage, but with proper medical care, many individuals can live long and fulfilling lives.
- Tension Headache: Tension headaches, characterized by a mild to moderate pain across the forehead and temples, can be effectively managed with relaxation exercises, proper hydration, and over-the-counter medications to improve your overall well-being and independence.
- Hives: If you experience hives, it's important to identify and avoid triggers if possible; however, treatment options are readily available to effectively manage symptoms and minimize disruption to your daily activities and social interactions.
- Acute Lower Respiratory Infection: An acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) is a sudden infection in your lungs or airways, which might cause you to cough, feel tired, or have trouble breathing; with the right care, you can effectively manage symptoms and maintain your overall well-being.
- Hypertension: Hypertension, often called high blood pressure, is a condition where your blood pressure is consistently too high, but regular checkups and the right medications can help keep it under control and prevent serious health problems.
- Obesity: While obesity means having more body fat than is healthy, leading to various health concerns, it is manageable through a personalized approach with your doctor, improving your health and quality of life.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.
