Your risk of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other chronic diseases increases if you’re age 40-plus. When you choose concierge medicine at Premium Healthcare, we focus on prevention to achieve your health goals.
Consider the following health screenings as you approach 40 and beyond.
Half of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, which is why getting screened routinely is important. If your blood pressure is high, you can take steps to lower it and reduce the risk of heart disease, a heart attack, and other complications.
Concierge medicine at Premium Healthcare offers convenient remote patient monitoring to track your blood pressure.
High cholesterol affects about 71 million people in the United States, which is why routine cholesterol screenings are essential. Dr. Felzer might check your cholesterol levels every five years or more often, if necessary.
Lifestyle changes and/or medications can keep your cholesterol levels in check, minimizing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
If you haven’t yet been screened for prediabetes or diabetes, now is the time. Diabetes affects almost 12% of the US population. Type 2 diabetes is common over 40 due to weight gain, poor diet, lack of exercise, or other lifestyle habits.
Early detection and treatment helps you avoid diabetes-related complications like nerve damage, heart problems, and foot issues.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease. Examples of important cancer screenings over 40 include those that detect cervical, breast, prostate, colorectal, skin, and lung cancers.
Dr. Felzer determines which screenings you may need based on your age, personal and family medical histories, lifestyle, and gender.
Eye exams and vision screenings at Premium Healthcare are important over 40. If Dr. Felzer detects a potential problem, he can refer you to an eye care specialist for further evaluation.
Being 40 or older increases your risk of low bone density and osteoporosis. Early detection helps you undergo the lifestyle changes and/or medical interventions needed to maximize bone strength.
As you approach 40 and beyond, you may develop changes in hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, testosterone, and others. Hormone fluctuations could lead to:
Dr. Felzer offers treatments that help restore balance.
In addition to physicals and screenings at Premium Healthcare, Dr. Felzer provides medication management, vaccinations, birth control for women, and other preventive care options based on your specific needs. He follows up to ensure superior health outcomes.
