• Pneumonia: Managing chronic conditions like asthma or COPD effectively helps to reduce your susceptibility to pneumonia and minimize the severity of symptoms should you develop it.

• Heart Palpitations: Regular check-ups with your internist, especially if you experience heart palpitations, are crucial for early detection of cardiovascular disease and timely intervention.

• Muscle Weakness: Preventative care, including regular exercise and balanced nutrition, can significantly reduce the risk of developing muscle weakness associated with age or chronic conditions.
• Polyuria: Don't ignore excessive urination – it could signal an imbalance in your body's fluid regulation that needs attention to prevent more serious problems down the road.
• Arthritis: Regular visits with your physician for preventive care, including monitoring for arthritis, allow for early intervention and better long-term health outcomes.
• Influenza (Flu): Getting a flu vaccine is key to preventing infection and reducing the severity of illness, protecting you from potential complications like pneumonia.
• ADHD and-or ADD: Untreated ADHD or ADD can increase the risk of accidents, substance abuse, and mental health issues; proactive care can help mitigate these risks.
