Everything you need to know about Hypertension

by Guest Blogger
written by Guest Blogger

Hypertension is a state when there are consistent high blood pressure levels. Notably, there are no visible symptoms of hypertension. It could happen to anyone, irrespective of age, and can cause several health issues if not treated timely.

For identifying if you have hypertension, start having regular blood pressure checkups either at a clinic or your home. Hypertension or high blood pressure levels reduce the heart’s efficiency and make it work more rigorously than regular. Furthermore, delicate tissues that are present in the arteries also get affected by the impact of high blood pressure.

The below-depicted infographic gives us an overview of the following:

  • Hypertension around the globe
  • Possible causes of Hypertension
  • How Hypertension affects humans?
  • Potential signs and precautionary measures of Hypertension
  • Hypertension Treatment.

Hypertension affects all of us at some point in our lives. Hence, it is critical to take the necessary steps to manage our blood pressure levels both in terms of our physical and mental health. Thus, take enough care of yourself and your loved ones, and work hard to overcome the high blood pressure levels.

Treating Chafes & Bedsores

by Guest Blogger
written by Guest Blogger

Constant exposure to urine, a higher temperature inside the brief, and remaining in one position for a long time may quickly lead to skin irritation.

Symptoms of irritation

symptoms of irritation

  • burning sensation
  • itching
  • stinging sensation
  • feeling of tense skin
  • redness
  • exfoliation

 

In the case of people with limited mobility, and those who are bedridden (especially the people using briefs), the skin should be under constant observation, because its irritation may lead to dangerous chafes and bedsores.

Chafe Bedsore
Chafes develop when something (for example artificial materials) rubs against the skin, or when the folds of skin stick to each other for a long time causing an unpleasant skin condition. Raised temperature, moisture (urine, sweat), and blocked air supply make chafe development quicker. It is skin damage preceded by redness – it is an effect of prolonged pressure on the skin causing skin tissue ischemia. It can affect all the layers of the skin – from the epidermis to the hypodermis, and even down to the bone in the final stage of development.

What to keep in mind?

  • Proper skin care and following the basic rules of hygiene are absolutely crucial when looking after an ill or disabled person.
  • Using absorbent products that are vapor permeable allows the skin to breathe, what diminishes the risk of skin irritation.
  • It is worth to wear breathable underwear and put on clothing made of natural materials which ensure air circulation and reduce the risk of skin irritation.
  • Do not belittle the presence of any signs of irritation – they can soon turn into painful skin conditions which are difficult to cure.

 

Employing bedsore preventive treatment is crucial in the case of people who use absorbent products to manage their urinary/fecal incontinence – it is really important if the person is bedridden. Skincare and observation of its condition play a crucial role.

Medications affecting your oral health

by Guest Blogger
written by Guest Blogger

When patients think about the factors that affect the overall health of their mouth and teeth they tend to think about the obvious things such as the food they eat and how frequently they brush their teeth and floss. However, most patients do not consider the effect that their prescription medication has on their oral health.

According to the American Dental Association, nearly half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug. This number is even more pronounced with older adults with 90 percent of adults over 65 taking at least one prescription medication.

Understanding how prescription drugs can hurt the inside of our mouths is important. Here are a few ways that medications can negatively affect your oral health.

Surgical Risk

Patients who are taking medicines that treat bone diseases such as osteoporosis are at higher risk for complications during oral surgery. These drugs help prevent the loss of bone density; however, these drugs known as Bisphosphonates can cause complications during any type of dental surgery such as installing implants or extracting teeth.

Bisphosphonates block the bone’s ability to break down and build up, preventing it from healing properly. Patients on bone density medication are more prone to having bone necrosis of the jaw after oral surgery, meaning parts of the jaw bone are dying from lack of blood. This is more likely to occur with elderly patients because they are more likely to be on bone density medication.

It is important to let your dentist know if you are currently on any bisphosphonates in order to avoid any complications that can arise from oral surgery. If your dentist is aware that you have a history of bone disease, then you can discuss if surgery is even the best option.

Blood Thinners

People who are on blood thinners and anticoagulant medications need to tell their dentist that they are on these types of medications before surgery. These medications are great at preventing heart disease and stroke, but they can cause bleeding issues during oral surgery.

The best way to prevent oral health issues due to medication is to talk with your doctor and your dentist about the effects prescription medication can have on your mouth.

How our medications affect our mouths is not the first thing on anyone’s mind, but if you take the time to discuss your medications with your dentist it will do a world of difference.

Dry Mouth

The biggest concern regarding prescription medication and oral health is the fact that many medications cause dry mouth which in turn makes a person more likely to suffer from tooth decay, mouth sores and oral infections. Elderly individuals are more likely to deal with these issues because they are more likely to take multiple prescription drugs

According to the American Pharmacists Association, more than 500 medications can contribute to dry mouth. These medications include anti-hypertensive drugs for high blood pressure, urological medications that improve urinary flow, anxiety medications such as Lorazepam and antidepressants such as Zoloft.

Saliva is crucial for our body. It breaks down food and has a filtering effect on bacteria in the mouth. Saliva gets rid of plaque and bathes your teeth in a mineral-rich solution that maintains your teeth’s resistance to decay.

It is important for patients to understand the medications they use and alert their dentist and physician if any of the medications they use are causing severe and consistent dry mouth.

A dentist can prescribe substitute saliva sprays or toothpaste that can alleviate dry mouth. There are even over the counter saliva sprays. There over the counter products also come in rinse, swab, gel and tablet forms.

Improving Posture Improves Health

by Victor Marchione
written by Victor Marchione

The importance of a good posture and how it does not limit to just having an impressive gait. Well, it does take some self-effort and attitude to improve your poor posture so you could live healthier and longer. Improving your posture improves health

It’s pretty saddening to see back and leg pain not only a senior’s complaint today but even the young guns suffer from it. Internet addiction, mobile phones, junk food, late night or insufficient sleep and various other reasons could be blamed. However, the question is whether our young children are ever going to change their posture and be the ideal generation for the future one. If not, we’re soon going to have the biggest killer of our population, putting behind cancer and smoking. Improving Posture Improves Health

What’s the big deal if I have a poor posture?

Seriously? Sure it will not kill you or something, but can your body really handle this…? And what if it does kill you? Improving Posture Improves Health

  • Repetitive pressure on your muscles can cause muscle spasms. Chronic stress on your ligaments and tendons can give birth to painful trigger points.
  • Joint degeneration and soft tissue injury (STI) are a surefire if weak posture is forcing other parts of your body to compensate.
  • If you’re not a fan of the Quasimodo character in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, you will want to avoid abnormal spine curvatures, such as kyphosis, which comes with poor posture. By the way, the condition is actually named as “Quasimodo back”.
  • Chronic headache and jaw or neck pain are common.
  • You don’t want to look dejected or pessimistic by slouching or stooping forward all the time. Having a negative self-image can also lead to depression and other mental problems.
  • Do you lean on your computer screen or hunch while typing? The way you sit and walk can really affect your digestion, blood circulation and breathing.

 

Okay, so how do I improve my posture?

That’s like it! If you don’t want to blow your desire to enjoy independent living in your older days, you’d especially monitor your “posture muscles” and “head alignment”. Keep your posture muscles on the rear of your legs active and strengthened with leg or lower back exercises. Also, keep your head up and shoulders back as you walk or sit straight enough to imitate the posture of someone who’s proud of his achievements the entire life.

First, accept you have a bad posture

Do you need to be told you have it? If yes, this is your confirmation: Improve your posture for Christ’s sake! Regularly check your posture by trial walking or sitting in front of a mirror or have someone observe you in your daily, natural posture when you’re not aware.

Move it!

The human body is designed to move, walk, jump and enjoy, not to sit for 8 hours in front of a computer screen. But you can’t help, that’s your bread and butter, and we doctors understand it. That’s why we recommend practicing simple stretches and exercises while taking short breaks in your work shift. It’s also not a bad idea to approach a physiotherapist to learn some good posture changes to manage pain.

Use an ergonomic work chair:

New things always come up in the market, but not all are good. However, ergonomic equipment such as this will help to maintain a good sitting posture as mentioned by physiotherapist Joanne Gough. Don’t forget to align the ‘G’ button of your keyboard with your belly button, sit right back filling the whole chair and adjust the chair height to have your knees somewhat lower than your buttocks. Improving Posture Improves Health

30 minutes, 5 days a week:

There’s a lot of hype around this. But it’s worth taking the challenge. The challenge? Improve your heart rate with a cardiovascular routine, which could be anything from Zumba to quick jog, of 30 minutes for 5 days in a week. Improving Posture Improves Health

Try a sports massage:

This will relieve pain in your neck and back due to years of incorrect posturing. Besides, it will help to determine the source of the pain so you could bring changes to your lifestyle and your posture. You need not be a sportsperson to be qualified for it, just find an experienced sports massage therapist to do the job. Improving Posture Improves Health
Leaving you with a tip:

Stronger muscles is key to enjoying a good posture. Invest in weight training, it will pay you off healthily and healthfully in the long run. Improving Posture Improves Health

Personal Story about Parkinson’s Disease

by Guest Blogger
written by Guest Blogger

Seeing What is Not There

Is it possible to see what is not there? For people with Parkinson’s disease, the answer may be yes! It is estimated that nearly half of all people with Parkinson’s disease may experience hallucinations, or seeing things that others do not, or delusions, which are fixed, false beliefs over the course of their disease. Over time, it can be hard for some to understand what is real and what is not.

Dan Sees the World and More

Dan M., 61, spent his life serving his community. He was stationed all over the United States and in Germany as a U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sergeant, and upon retirement served as a city police commissioner, graduate school professor, and, eventually, director of a highly regarded retirement community in Medford, OR. Here, he helped implement programming for those with movement disorders to improve their mobility. Little did he know, at the time, that he would soon be diagnosed with a movement disorder himself.

Around five years ago, Dan began to experience symptoms that made day-to-day tasks more challenging. Among other things, he experienced rigidity, problems with writing and balance, loss of speech, anxiety attacks, and memory loss. His symptoms sent him from specialist to specialist, until finally a neurologist identified them as motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The diagnosis surprised Dan and his wife.

Dan’s movement disorder specialist prescribed a common Parkinson’s disease medication, which he was excited to find improved his mobility. For about 18 months Dan enjoyed fewer movement related challenges, but eventually started to experience new symptoms that neither he nor his wife had anticipated.

Dan started to have paranoid thoughts about trusted neighbors and friends. Soon after, he started to see small rodents that no one else could see and what he believed to be ghosts. A news story about a sinkhole triggered Dan to believe that the world was ending and that he had to save everyone from an impending doomsday. He even accused his loving and supportive wife of being unfaithful without any evidence whatsoever. Dan could not control his fears and those close to him became worried. Though Dan noticed they were troubled by his behavior, he could not understand how his behavior was out of the ordinary.

Managing Hallucinations and Delusions

After six months of experiencing these troubling symptoms, Dan brought them to the attention of his movement disorder specialist, who immediately recognized that the small rodents he was seeing were hallucinations. These hallucinations coupled with false beliefs (delusions) were non-motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. The onset of such symptoms is common in Parkinson’s, but only 10-20 percent of patients volunteer this information to their doctor.

Dan and his doctor worked together to find a treatment plan that was right for him. Dan reports that this approach has helped, and he realizes that his beliefs were not in-line with the normal, mentally-healthy thinking he had always enjoyed. Dan also benefits from on-going psychiatric and counseling appointments to help manage anxiety and depression, which are additional non-motor symptoms commonly seen in Parkinson’s.

Dan and his wife hope to help others understand non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and how to identify them. They are active in their local Parkinson’s support group, and have found comfort knowing their story may help others who are going through similar challenges.

Living with Essential Tremor: 3 Important Pieces of Advice

by Guest Blogger
written by Guest Blogger

My journey with essential tremor is unique, just like every person living with this condition. My tremors developed and progressed over a number of years. Gradually, everyday tasks, such as using the trackpad on my laptop, became harder to do. Logging onto my computer and clicking on boxes on the screen was very difficult and drove not just me but my husband crazy! I also experienced what I called a tsunami in my cup from the beverage splashing out of the cup or having food fall off the fork, onto my plate in the middle of a restaurant. My son, noticing my tremors were getting worse, encouraged me to speak to my doctor about treating my tremors.

With my son’s encouragement, I spoke to my doctor about treatment options for essential tremor. In general, I tend to react poorly to medication – and brain stimulation or surgery were not options with which I was comfortable. Following my doctor’s appointment, I did research and found a local support group, where I was able to connect with others living with essential tremor and to learn about their experiences and management methods, which I found extremely helpful.

Through my involvement in the San Ramon Essential Tremor Support Group, I was introduced to many people who were living with essential tremor, as well as interesting speakers who came to talk to the group about treatment options and advances in the essential tremor arena. One of the guest presentations was from Cala Trio; two individuals came to our group to speak about a new medical device and wanted to know if anybody would like to participate in a study. They said that Cala Trio™ was a non-invasive, wrist-worn, targeted therapy device. It works by providing gentle stimulation to the nerves in the wrist. That stimulation interferes with the area of the brain where the tremors originate. This instantly piqued my interest, and I volunteered right away. It has been a few years since that initial meeting, and I’m thrilled to say that Cala Trio has greatly improved my life.

For those impacted by essential tremor, here are three pieces of advice:

  1. Find a support group: It can be easy to feel isolated and frustrated with yourself quickly, but a support group is an excellent way to meet with others sharing the same struggles as you and will connect you with numerous resources to aid in your everyday life. You may even learn some helpful techniques from your fellow members, like the importance of lids and straws for drinks, asking a waiter to have your meal pre-cut in the kitchen, and even the new technology offered on your smartphone to assist with dialing a phone number or writing a text message. Through my local support group, I have found additional materials that have been helpful such as the International Essential Tremor Foundation’s
  2. Be an advocate for yourself and talk to your doctor about what kind of treatment plan works best for you: I have always been a huge advocate for myself and encourage you all to do the same. What saddens me the most is how many people don’t realize what essential tremor is, including physicians. I did my own research and participated in a trial with Cala Trio. After my participation in the study, I took all my information on Cala Trio to my primary care physician to discuss getting a prescription for the device, as I found this treatment option worked the best for me. I can honestly say the results I have seen with Cala Trio have been remarkable.
  3. Listen to your body: Pay attention to what factors might be making your tremors worse, such as caffeine consumption or fatigue, as both exacerbate tremors. Get plenty of rest, and don’t push yourself too hard. Essential tremor can be triggered by stress, so in addition to plentiful amounts of rest, take time to check in with yourself mentally, and make time for activities that relax you. Go for daily walks with a loved one, work on a passion project, do whatever you need to do to ensure your stress levels are at a minimum every day.

Living with essential tremor is challenging, but there are numerous ways to improve your quality of life without surgical treatment. Bolster your support system, talk to your physician about treatment plans that work for you, and listen to what your body needs; you just might find these steps will make all the difference.

What’s the difference between Alzheimer’s and Dementia?

by Silverado
written by Silverado

One of the most commonly asked questions in memory care is the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Though they are quite often (and mistakenly) used interchangeably, there are key differences that will help distinguish the two. Since approaches to Alzheimer’s and dementia care can also vary, it’s even more crucial for medical professionals, patients, and families to understand the differences. Dr. Richard London, Medical Director of Silverado Oak Village Community explains how they differ: What’s the difference between Alzheimer’s and Dementia?
Dementia is an umbrella term for the group of symptoms in which the human brain no longer processes information like it used to. Symptoms can include impaired memory, forgetfulness, or difficulty carrying out day-to-day tasks like driving. If a person is diagnosed with dementia, they are not diagnosed with a disease, but a set of symptoms.
Alzheimer’s disease is a very specific kind of dementia, and also the most common. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s include impaired thought, speech, or extreme disorientation. At this time, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, as it is degenerative and incurable.

Guide to Addiction Prevention for Seniors

by Kimberly Johnson
written by Kimberly Johnson

Alcohol and drug addiction is a growing problem for seniors, and it’s extremely dangerous. As we get older, our metabolisms change, and it becomes more difficult to process things. This can lead to higher intoxication levels and health complications. Guide to Addiction Prevention for Seniors
One of the biggest challenges with senior addiction is that its symptoms mimic those of many other conditions associated with aging, such as diabetes, dementia, and vertigo.
There’s also a commonly-held belief that fuels the fires. Many people believe that addiction is a disease for the young; seniors have long since passed the age for addiction. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Guide to Addiction Prevention for Seniors

Reasons for Senior Addiction

Each person is different, but many seniors become addicted for similar reasons. When you’ve reached senior status, loss and grief are inevitable. It can be a very lonely and isolating experience that leads some people to self-medicate.
We all know the aches and pains that seem to come naturally with aging. Whether it’s arthritis or injuries, the pain can be unbearable. When it really becomes too much to bear, many seniors turn to prescription medications. These are a completely legal and acceptable way to handle pain, but it can lead to prescription drug addiction.

How to Prevent Addiction for Seniors

Addiction can be dangerous and even deadly for seniors, so it’s important not to walk that path. And although many seniors use addiction as a way to deal with loneliness, it will only isolate you further. Here are a few tips for preventing addiction in your senior years.

  1. Keep track of your medications – It’s easy to lose track of the pills you’ve taken, even if your memory is sharp as a tack. One day blends with another, and you can’t remember whether you took your last pill this morning or yesterday morning. It happens. But if you’re taking addictive substances, this can lead you down the path of addiction. Keep your pills in a daily pill dispenser or task someone else to keep track of them for you.
  2. Take painkillers only when you really need them – If you’ve been prescribed a prescription painkiller, use it only when your pain is exceptionally high. If your pain is always exceptionally high, talk to your doctor about other pain relief options. Injections or surgery may be a better option for you.
  3. Drink alcohol sparingly – If you do drink alcohol, try to keep it as a social thing. When you drink alone, it’s easy to drink more than you should. It can also become a habit that leads to alcoholism.
  4. Learn about senior addiction – Read more about senior addiction. You can start with this article from the National Council for Alcoholism and Drug Dependence.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, it’s important to get help right away. Senior addiction can be very dangerous, and every day that goes by, the problem gets worse. The conversations may not be the most comfortable, but they are extremely necessary. Start talking about addiction to everyone you think needs to hear. Guide to Addiction Prevention for Seniors

Managing Diabetes in Older Adults

Managing Diabetes in Older Adults as a Caregiver

If you provide care for an older family member, there’s a good chance you need to help them manage diabetes or their risk of becoming diabetic. More than 29 million Americans are diabetics, and another 86 million are at risk of developing diabetes due to high blood sugar. Diabetes is especially common in older adults – more than a quarter of American seniors are currently managing diabetes. Managing Caregiving Shortcuts to Make Life EasierDiabetes in Older Adults
The good news for caregivers is that by educating yourself on diabetes, you can play an active role in managing your loved one’s blood sugar and their risk of a diabetic episode. Managing Diabetes in Older Adults

Start with Self-Education

The first thing to do when caring for a diabetic parent is to teach yourself all that you can about your parent’s condition. While your parent may be used to caring for their diabetes, you may find there’s a steep learning curve to helping them manage this condition.
Luckily, there are plenty of resources available for those who care for older adults with diabetes. Start by speaking with your loved one’s physician, who will be able to talk you through their specific diabetes concerns. After that, you’ll be able to find practically everything you need to know online. We suggest starting with the American Diabetes Association, who offer a number of invaluable resources for those learning about diabetes. Managing Diabetes in Older Adults

Blood Sugar Tests & Medications

If your family member is managing diabetes, they are likely testing their blood sugar one or more times each day. But old age can make testing blood sugar difficult, or can trigger memory difficulties that cause seniors to forget to test their sugar levels. Because of this, you may be called on to assist your loved one with blood sugar testing.
Once again, we recommend speaking with your loved one’s doctor first. Your loved one’s personal physician should be familiar with the type of blood testing equipment your loved one uses and will be able to give you tips on how to test and record blood sugar levels.
Medications are commonly used to manage diabetes in older adults. Some seniors with diabetes are prescribed oral medications, while others use injectable insulin. As a caregiver, you should know which medications your loved one takes, what dosages they are prescribed, and what their medication schedule is. If they require assistance with their medications, your loved one’s doctor or pharmacist can instruct you in how you can help. Managing Diabetes in Older Adults

Encouraging a Healthy Lifestyle

Managing diabetes in older adults ultimately comes down to lifestyle. Seniors with diabetes need to treat their bodies right to keep blood glucose within a healthy range. You can help an elderly loved one manage their diabetes by assisting and encouraging them in healthy lifestyle choices.
Lifestyle choices that help manage diabetes in older adults include:

  • Monitoring for low or high blood glucose levels. This not only includes regular blood sugar testing, but also monitoring your loved one for the symptoms of unhealthy blood sugar fluctuations.
  • Healthy diet. Your loved one’s diet will have the biggest impact on his or her blood sugar levels. You can help by planning and preparing healthy, balanced meals and ensuring they have healthy food options around them.
  • Regular Exercise. Light aerobic exercise can help control diabetes in older adults. Encourage your loved one to garden, talk walks, or participate in aquatic fitness classes.
  • Check Feet Regularly. Feet are the most vulnerable areas for a diabetic infection. But older adults with mobility and flexibility issues can find it hard to check their feet properly. You can assist your loved one by checking their feet for them each day, or as often as possible.

Of course, managing diabetes in older adults can be difficult, especially on your own. If you’re concerned that your loved one needs additional care and monitoring, ask other family members if they can help.
Alternatively, you can hire a care professional. Home nurses can help manage diabetes in older adults by assisting with medications and blood sugar monitoring. If your loved one doesn’t need assistance with medications or blood sugar testing, you might a consider a non-medical home care provider, who can help with meal planning, meal preparation, encouraging exercise, and other aspects of a healthy lifestyle.
