Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Mousa Hanna 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:
- 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.
- Hypertension: Having hypertension means your heart has to work harder to pump blood, increasing the risk of strokes and heart attacks; however, with proper treatment and monitoring, you can significantly reduce these risks and maintain a good quality of life.
- Hyperlipidemia: High cholesterol, also known as hyperlipidemia, can put you at risk for heart disease, but it's manageable! By making healthy lifestyle changes and/or taking medication as prescribed, you can reduce your risk and continue enjoying your favorite activities.
- Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis, or a sore throat, is a common infection or irritation of the throat that can cause pain, difficulty swallowing, and sometimes fever, but it's usually treatable with rest and over-the-counter remedies.
- High Cholesterol: High cholesterol levels in your blood can silently damage your blood vessels, but with a doctor's guidance, dietary changes, exercise, and potentially medication, you can greatly reduce your risk of heart problems and maintain your overall well-being.
- Asthma: Asthma is a lung condition causing wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, often managed with inhalers to help you breathe easier and live more comfortably.
- Sleep Apnea: Sleep apnea disrupts your sleep cycle by causing pauses in breathing, but with proper medical attention and potentially a simple device used at night, you can experience better sleep and more energy during the day.
- Depression: Feeling persistently down or hopeless is a sign that you might be experiencing depression, a treatable condition that often responds well to professional help, enabling you to regain your joy and energy.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT) reflects a decline in an older adult's overall health, often involving physical symptoms like weight loss and weakness, along with decreased social engagement. Addressing the underlying causes, whether medical, social, or environmental, can significantly improve their well-being and quality of life.
- Diabetes: Diabetes is a condition where your body doesn't use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar, but with careful management, like diet and medication, you can keep your blood sugar levels stable and live a full life.
- Nausea: Experiencing nausea can be distressing, but thankfully there are many ways to manage it and improve your comfort.
