Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Nabil Itani 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:
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): While a TIA doesn't cause permanent brain damage, it's a serious warning sign of a possible stroke. Acting quickly with medical attention after experiencing TIA symptoms can significantly reduce your risk of future strokes and help you maintain your active lifestyle.
- Lyme Disease: Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread through tick bites, and early diagnosis with antibiotics can significantly reduce its long-term effects.
- Throat Pain: A sore throat, often characterized by scratchiness or pain, can be managed with rest, fluids, and over-the-counter pain relievers, helping you feel more comfortable and maintain your daily activities.
- Swine Flu: While swine flu can be concerning, proper care and treatment can greatly reduce its impact on your health and day-to-day activities, helping you maintain your independence and quality of life.
- Osteoporosis: If you have osteoporosis, your bones lose density, making them more likely to fracture; regular exercise, a healthy diet rich in calcium, and medications can help prevent fractures and improve your quality of life.
- Sleep Apnea: Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to daytime sleepiness and impacting overall health, but thankfully, treatment like CPAP machines can significantly improve sleep quality and daily life.
- Bronchospasm: A bronchospasm is like a sudden narrowing of the breathing tubes in your lungs, causing wheezing or coughing, but medications can help relax these muscles and improve your comfort.
- Nausea: Experiencing nausea can be distressing, but thankfully there are many ways to manage it and improve your comfort.
- Acute Bronchitis: Characterized by a cough, sometimes accompanied by fever or shortness of breath, acute bronchitis is a temporary condition that typically improves with home care strategies and possibly medication prescribed by your doctor, enabling you to feel better and participate in everyday life.
- Nightmare Disorder: Experiencing repeated nightmares can be distressing, but effective treatments, like therapy and sometimes medication, are available to help manage this condition and improve your sleep quality and overall mood.
- Herpes Simplex Infection: While herpes simplex infections can be uncomfortable, antiviral medications are available to control symptoms and reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Tinnitus: Tinnitus, the phantom noise in your ears, can make it challenging to relax and sleep. Fortunately, there are effective strategies to help manage it and improve your peace of mind, allowing you to maintain your independence and enjoy life more fully.
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.
