Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Sonia Daryanani 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:
- Mastodynia: Breast pain (mastodynia) can be uncomfortable, but with proper diagnosis and management strategies from your physician, such as medication or supportive bras, many women find significant relief, allowing them to maintain their independence.
- Hives: Hives, characterized by itchy welts, can be effectively managed with various treatments, ranging from over-the-counter remedies to prescription medications, thereby improving comfort, reducing discomfort, and maintaining one's ability to participate in social events and hobbies.
- Hyperkalemia: Having too much potassium (hyperkalemia) in your blood can sometimes cause heart problems, but with careful monitoring and treatment from your doctor, you can feel better and stay active.
- Tonsillitis: A tonsil infection, or tonsillitis, can make it hard to eat and sleep comfortably, but treatment, such as antibiotics and pain relievers as directed by your physician, can help alleviate symptoms and get you back to your daily activities more quickly.
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Noticing blood in your urine can be concerning, but it's important to know that many causes are treatable, helping you maintain your daily activities and overall well-being.
- Dyslipidemia: If you have dyslipidemia, it means your blood has an unhealthy balance of fats; thankfully, through diet, exercise, and sometimes medication, you can keep your heart healthy and enjoy life to the fullest.

- Viral Hepatitis: Viral hepatitis is a liver infection caused by a virus, often manageable with medication and lifestyle changes that can help you feel better and maintain your independence.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): A transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a mini-stroke, is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain that causes stroke-like symptoms, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly without lasting damage, highlighting the importance of seeking immediate medical attention to prevent a more serious stroke.
- Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, can be a serious concern, especially for those with diabetes; it's crucial to promptly treat it with glucose sources to prevent more serious health issues and allow you to remain active.
- Nasopharyngitis: A simple cold (nasopharyngitis) is a common viral infection that causes uncomfortable symptoms like runny nose and cough, but usually gets better on its own within a week or two with supportive care to maintain your daily routine.
- Hypotension (Excluding Maternal): Hypotension, or low blood pressure, can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, but with careful monitoring and treatment, we can help you manage it and stay safe.
