Geriatric care focuses on the health and well-being of elderly patients, addressing their unique medical and lifestyle needs.

Services include routine check-ups, chronic disease management, medication management, mental health support, and physical therapy.

Elderly individuals experiencing age-related health issues or those needing comprehensive care for chronic conditions should consider geriatric care.

Look for providers with specialised training in geriatrics, experience with elderly patients, and a comprehensive approach to care.

Benefits include improved quality of life, better management of chronic conditions, preventive care, and support for mental and emotional health.

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to identify heart rhythm issues, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.

No special preparation is usually required. You may be asked to remove any metal objects or wear a hospital gown for ease of access to the chest area.

You can eat and drink normally before the test. However, avoid consuming large amounts of caffeine or alcohol as they might affect the results.

ECGs are very safe and non-invasive. There are no known risks or side effects associated with the test.

In most cases, you can continue taking your medications as prescribed. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking.

Risks include infection, bleeding, changes in hormone levels, and potential impacts on sexual health and urinary function.
