Four Tips to Reduce the Chances of a Repeat Heart Issue

July 24, 2020 by Robert D'Arienzo

Issues with your senior’s heart health sound vague, but they can include uncontrolled blood pressure, cardiac failure, and other problems. Compromised heart health can cumulatively add up and become a serious problem for your senior.

Avoid Adding to the Stress of All of This

You and you’re senior both are experiencing stress related to her heart issues, but if you allow that to keep you both upset that’s going to contribute to the problem. Finding ways to reduce stress, both for you and for your senior, is really important. In your senior’s case, handing over tasks to you and to home care providers can make life easier and safer for her. For you, knowing that you can take respite time and that elder care providers are there with your seniors can make a huge difference.

Her Doctor Is a Crucial Part of This Process

Your senior’s doctor is a big part of helping her to avoid future heart troubles. She may be adding some doctors to her team, too, often in the form of a cardiologist, but possibly other specialists, too. These doctors are going to work together to help you’re senior to formulate a care plan, both for now and in the future.

She Needs to Follow Recommendations, Especially with Medications

All of these medical advisors are going to have recommendations for your elderly family member. They may want her to start taking certain medications or stop doing certain things, like pushing herself too hard when she’s feeling lousy. With medications, there may be some specific ways that she needs to take those medications, particularly in terms of when she needs to take them and what types of foods or drinks she needs to avoid because of those medicines.

Some of Those Recommendations Might Mean Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle changes are extremely common recommendations for people with heart issues because these can give your senior big results with far fewer side effects than other treatments. She may need to consider doing things like changing how and what she eats or starting an exercise program with her doctor’s blessing. These changes may make her grumble at first, but when she sees health improvements, that can make her more enthusiastic about them.

Repeat issues with your senior’s heart are much more likely if she doesn’t make any adjustments to what she’s doing right now. Even small changes in the right direction can make a big difference for her overall health.

Owner at Helping Hands Home Care
Robert D’Arienzo
After graduating from Seton Hall University with a BS in finance Helping Hands Homecare’s Owner / President, Robert D’Arienzo, went to work on Wall St. for six years. However, after Robert’s grandmother became ill with stomach cancer Robert and his family needed to find assistance in the home for her. After many trials and tribulations Robert could see that there was a great need for quality home care services here in NJ and loved the idea of being able to assist other families who were going through what his family went through with his beloved grandmother.

Thus, Robert had found his passion. After almost a year of preparation Robert opened Helping Hands Homecare in 2003. Robert wanted Helping Hands Homecare to focus on providing the highest quality of caregivers, exceptional customer service, and providing a service that familys could depend on in their time of need. Since then Helping Hands has assisted hundreds of individuals with the simplest of needs to more complex cases while preserving those standards set out many years ago.
