Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Maryse Pedoussaut 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:
- Migraine: If you or a loved one struggles with migraines, know that effective management is achievable. A doctor can help identify triggers, prescribe appropriate medications, and suggest lifestyle changes to reduce headache frequency and severity, promoting better well-being.
- Dyslipidemia: Having high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) means you have too much fat in your blood, increasing your risk of heart problems; however, with proper diet, exercise, and possibly medication, you can significantly reduce this risk and enjoy a healthier, fuller life.
- Shortness of Breath: Difficulty catching your breath can impact your daily life, but with proper diagnosis and management, you can regain your energy and improve your quality of life.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): COPD affects your ability to breathe freely, but by following your doctor's advice and taking your medications as prescribed, you can reduce your symptoms and maintain a fulfilling life despite the condition.
- Anemia: Anemia means your blood has fewer red blood cells than it should, making you feel sluggish and tired. Fortunately, with your doctor's help, through simple blood tests and often with dietary changes or medication, anemia is treatable, helping you maintain your independence.
- Diabetes Type 2: Type 2 diabetes affects how your body processes sugar, but with regular check-ups, a balanced diet, and an active lifestyle, you can successfully control your blood sugar, preventing long-term health issues and preserving your quality of life.
- Cough: A cough is a reflex action that helps clear your airways, but persistent coughing can be uncomfortable and disruptive, making it harder to sleep and enjoy daily life; your doctor can help find the cause and suggest ways to manage it.
- Wheezing: Experiencing wheezing? This whistling sound during breathing can sometimes be relieved by medications that open your airways. Early diagnosis and treatment is important for managing your breathing and preserving your overall well-being.
- Vitamin D Deficiency: A lack of vitamin D, easily addressed through supplementation or dietary changes, can impact bone health and overall strength in seniors, potentially affecting your ability to do everyday tasks but with proper management, you can keep active and healthy.
- Obesity: Working with your healthcare provider to address obesity can improve your energy levels, mobility, and overall quality of life as you age.
- Yeast Infections: For seniors, yeast infections can be a source of discomfort, but simple treatments like creams or oral medications can effectively clear the infection, allowing you to feel better and more confident.
- Otitis Media: Dealing with ear pain and discomfort from a middle ear infection (otitis media)? Antibiotics and pain relief can help clear the infection quickly, restoring your hearing and improving your comfort levels.
