What are some common health concerns for senior citizens?

I received this in a WhatsApp forward and felt it should be widely shared.

The following information is passed on by a doctor who is still active in the medical field. It is worth referencing, especially if you or your relatives or friends have become elderly.

1. Use a straw, if possible, while drinking water, and keep your head down when swallowing.

Please Note:

When drinking water -

A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells senior citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:

And the other is to prevent choking.

Pneumonia caused by choking on drinking water, milk, soup, etc., which is a common problem among the elderly.

2. Please eat thick soup instead of clear soup. Clear soup flows quickly, and it is easy to choke when breathing is not smooth.

If liquid or food enters the trachea and is coughed out, the face will turn red and the blood pressure will soar. Sometimes choking can be fatal.

After 60 and beyond, one has to begin to train themselves.

The elderly are prone to choking because the throat and swallowing muscles have degenerated and lack muscle strength.

Take care and share with other elderly.

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

3. Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth or while chewing. If the water stays in the mouth for too long, it will flow into the trachea and cause choking if you are not careful.

If there are elderly people at home.

As we get older, we must drink water slowly, attentively, and cautiously.

Do not speak or turn your head when there is food or water in your mouth.

Stop everything and concentrate on drinking water carefully and slowly.

5. Old people do not have the same physical strength and endurance as young people.
