Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Moeen Khalil 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:
- Hypotension (Excluding Maternal): Experiencing dizziness or faintness might be a sign of low blood pressure, a condition we can effectively treat to improve your overall well-being.
- Difficulty With Walking: Experiencing trouble walking can make everyday tasks harder, but with a doctor's help, we can find ways to improve your mobility and independence.
- Trigeminal Neuralgia: Trigeminal neuralgia is a nerve disorder causing intense, sudden facial pain, often treated with medication to help manage the pain and improve quality of life.
- Hypoglycemia: Experiencing symptoms like sweating, heart palpitations, or blurred vision may indicate hypoglycemia, where your blood sugar is dangerously low; working with your doctor to create a personalized management plan keeps you safe and comfortable.
- Alkalosis: Alkalosis, a disruption in your body's pH balance, can lead to unpleasant symptoms, but thankfully, it's often manageable with adjustments to medication or lifestyle under your doctor's guidance, enhancing your comfort and independence.
- Muscle Cramping: Experiencing muscle cramps? These are often temporary and treatable, helping you stay active and independent.

- Mood Disorders (Dysthymia and Cyclothymia): While persistent sadness (dysthymia) or unpredictable mood shifts (cyclothymia) can be challenging, many older adults find relief through a combination of talk therapy and, when needed, medication, enabling them to maintain independence and enjoy life's simple pleasures.
- Constipation: Managing constipation involves increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of fluids, and regular exercise, all of which can help maintain independence and comfort.
- Iodine Deficiency: If your body isn't getting enough iodine, your thyroid hormone production can be affected, potentially resulting in tiredness, weight changes, and other health problems; however, your doctor can help you find effective ways to increase your iodine intake through diet or supplements.
- Anemia: Feeling unusually tired or weak? Anemia might be the cause, as it involves a deficiency of red blood cells; your doctor can help determine the underlying reason and develop a treatment plan to improve your strength and daily functioning.
- Viral Enteritis: Viral enteritis is a stomach bug caused by a virus, leading to diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, often resolving on its own with supportive care.
