Why Do Seniors Get Heartburn (Acid Reflux)?
A burning sensation in the chest or throat. Although there are many common acid reflux triggers, such as smoking, having a large or late-night meal, eating fatty or fried foods, drinking coffee or alcohol, or even aspirin, everybody is different. Watch and hear more from Dr. Victoria Chang.
Why Do Seniors Get Hernias?
As we age, our core muscles get much weaker, and it doesn’t take much for soft tissue to push through the abdominal wall. When a hernia is left untreated, it can result in serious health complications, including debilitating pain, infections, and blood loss. Hear more from Dr. Victoria Chang.
Obesity and Seniors
Obesity puts people at risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and some types of cancer. Hear more from Dr. Victoria Chang.
