USAPANG KALUSUGAN LOLO AND LOLA

Dr. Federick Cheng and Dr. Geraldine Zamora (@ging.md) discussed on how to care for the elderly especially this pandemic this is applicable to all ages. Here are my takes on last week's webinar Prevention is better than cure. Online consultation is the new normal. There are several reasons why the elderly are somewhat more vulnerable - they have more chronic conditions than younger people, their aging immune system makes it harder to fight off diseases, infections and viruses. Recoveries are usually slower and more complicated. Hypertension is a silent killer because many it can be symptom free. Many people that have it don't know they do. . . Symptoms are based on each individual and can include headaches and nosebleeds. Here are effective remedies at home that can lower Blood Pressure ☑ Walk and exercise regularly. ☑ Reduce your sodium intake. ☑ Less alcohol. ☑ Cut back on caffeine. ☑ Learn to manage stress. Most important of all: Inform them that if they develop symptoms such as fever with cough, fever and / or shortness of breath, to call their family doctor, helpline or nearest hospital.
