Chronic Illness

Asthma: Asthma is a chronic lung condition that makes breathing difficult due to inflamed airways. It often begins in childhood, but adults can have it too. Asthma symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath tend to flare up with triggers (dust, pollen, exercise, etc.). We help patients identify their triggers and manage asthma with proper inhaler use and medications. With a personalized asthma action plan, you can keep symptoms under control and breathe easier.

Diabetes: Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot regulate blood sugar properly. It is very common in the UAE and can lead to serious complications if not managed. Our clinic supports patients with both Type 1 diabetes (often starting in childhood) and Type 2 diabetes (usually developing in adults). We guide you on controlling blood glucose through medication (like insulin or tablets), healthy meal plans, exercise, and regular monitoring. This comprehensive care helps prevent major diabetes-related problems and keeps you living a healthy life.

Heart Disease: Heart disease (such as coronary artery disease) often develops silently over time. Our doctors focus on preventive care – we monitor and manage your risk factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar to protect your heart. If you already have a heart condition, we provide continuous treatment, adjust medications as needed, and advise on heart-healthy lifestyle changes. We also coordinate with cardiology specialists when required to ensure you receive comprehensive cardiac care.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Hypertension is called a “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms while quietly damaging the body. It’s very common – about one-third of adults in our region have high blood pressure. If not controlled, hypertension greatly raises the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. With lifestyle changes and medications, blood pressure can be managed. We create a tailored plan that may include a low-salt diet, weight management, exercise, and proper medication. Regular check-ups and home monitoring help ensure your blood pressure stays in a healthy range.

Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol): High cholesterol means excess fatty deposits in your blood, which can clog arteries and lead to heart disease or stroke. It typically has no signs until a serious event occurs, so routine blood tests are important to detect it early. Our doctors check your lipid levels and, if they’re elevated, advise you on diet changes (for example, cutting down on fried foods and sugar), increasing physical activity, and possibly starting a cholesterol-lowering medication. Keeping cholesterol under control significantly reduces your risk of cardiovascular complications.

Arthritis: Arthritis refers to chronic joint diseases that cause pain and stiffness in the joints. Common types include osteoarthritis (age-related joint wear-and-tear) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition). Arthritis isn’t just an older person’s issue – it can affect younger adults as well. Living with constant joint pain is challenging, but our team helps you manage it. We provide medications to ease pain and inflammation and refer patients to physiotherapy for exercises that improve joint strength and flexibility. We also advise on lifestyle adjustments like weight management to reduce stress on joints. With the right approach, arthritis patients can stay active and maintain a good quality of life.
