Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Rene Reyes 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:
- Insomnia: For older adults, restful sleep is essential for maintaining independence and a high quality of life. If insomnia is affecting your ability to function, know that there are many safe and effective treatments available to help you get the sleep you need.
- Atherosclerosis: With atherosclerosis, your arteries become stiff and less flexible, affecting blood flow. By following your doctor's plan, including medication and healthy habits, you can lessen its impact and maintain your ability to enjoy everyday life.
- Cellulitis: Cellulitis is a common skin infection that can be treated successfully with antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, ensuring swift recovery and avoiding potential long-term health problems.
- Symptomatic Menopause: Symptomatic menopause is when a woman's transition into menopause causes noticeable and disruptive symptoms. Treatment focuses on alleviating these symptoms to restore comfort, improve sleep, and help women maintain their independence and enjoyment of life.
- Obesity: Carrying extra weight, known as obesity, can make daily activities harder, but working with a healthcare provider on a weight-management plan can help you maintain your independence.
- Sciatica: Sciatica, a painful condition affecting the nerve running down the leg, can be eased with treatments like physical therapy, medication, and sometimes even injections, helping you stay active and independent.
- Hypogonadism: Experiencing decreased energy, bone loss, or changes in mood? These could be symptoms of hypogonadism, a condition of low sex hormones. Working with your doctor to manage it can significantly improve your quality of life and independence.
- Hair Loss: Hair loss can have various underlying causes, and working with a healthcare professional to identify and address these causes can lead to improved hair growth and a better sense of self.
- Gastroptosis: If you have gastroptosis, it means your stomach has slipped down, which may lead to symptoms like bloating or indigestion; however, many people live with this condition without significant problems, and treatment focuses on relieving any troublesome symptoms.
- Folic Acid Deficiency: Folic acid is vital for healthy blood cell production, and a shortage can result in fatigue and weakness; thankfully, dietary changes or supplements can often correct this deficiency, helping you feel more vibrant.
- Fever: If you or a loved one has a fever, understanding the cause is vital for appropriate treatment. Early intervention can prevent serious problems and preserve your quality of life.
- Vertigo: If you experience vertigo, a feeling of intense dizziness or room spinning, don't worry; your doctor can work with you to find the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan that helps you regain your balance and stability.
