Personalized treatment options for chronic diseases using precision cohort analytics by Dr. Saumya Rathi.
What is Chronic illness?
Chronic disease is a long-term ailment that might last months or years. It has the potential to inflict discomfort, incapacity, and even death. Cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis are just some chronic conditions.
People with a chronic disease may find it difficult to characterize their condition. Epilepsy, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis are some of the most frequent chronic diseases. We discuss these diseases with our friends and family members. Someone may have them for the rest of their lives. These illnesses do not imply that there is nothing you can do to treat them.
Chronic illness people frequently get many types of medical services to control their discomfort and delay the progression of their disease.
Different Types of Chronic Conditions Treated by Dr. Saumya in New Delhi
Blood pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps it throughout the body. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and recorded as two numbers: systolic pressure (when the heart beats) over diastolic pressure (when the heart rests between beats). Maintaining normal blood pressure is essential for healthy blood flow and organ function.
Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a collection of chronic illnesses that affect how the body utilizes glucose (blood sugar). Glucose is a vital source of energy for the muscles and tissues’ cells. It is also the primary source of fuel for the brain. The primary cause of diabetes varies depending on the kind. However, diabetes, regardless of the kind, can result in an excess of sugar in the blood.
Thyroid
Thyroid disorders are common medical conditions that affect the function of the thyroid gland—a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. This gland plays a vital role in regulating the body’s metabolism by producing hormones that influence heart rate, energy levels, and temperature control.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure abnormalities often show no clear symptoms in early stages. When symptoms do occur, they may include dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, or fatigue, depending on the severity and cause.
Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
Headaches
Breathing difficulty
Nosebleeds
Symptoms of Low Blood Pressure
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fainting (syncope)
Blurred vision
Nausea
Fatigue or lack of concentration
These symptoms can be more noticeable when standing up quickly or after long periods of standing, and they may indicate an underlying medical condition requiring evaluation.
Treatment
Changing your lifestyle can play a key role in managing blood pressure effectively. In some cases, medications may also be prescribed depending on your overall health and how much your blood pressure needs to be lowered.
Medicines used to treat high blood pressure include:
Water pills (diuretics).
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
Calcium channel blockers.
Alpha blockers.
Alpha-beta blockers.
Beta blockers.
Aldosterone antagonists.
Renin inhibitors.
Vasodilators.
Central-acting agents.
Medicines used to treat low blood pressure include:
Fludrocortisone
Midodrine
Erythropoietin (for anemia-related hypotension)
Vasopressors
Pyridostigmine (used in certain types of autonomic dysfunction)
Droxidopa (for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension)
Caffeine (used to raise blood pressure temporarily)
IV fluids (for acute drops in BP)
DIABETES
Symptoms
Diabetes symptoms are determined by your blood sugar level. Some people may not experience symptoms, especially if they have prediabetes, gestational diabetes, or type 2 diabetes. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes tend to appear rapidly and are more severe.
Type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetic symptoms include:
I’m feeling thirstier than normal.
Urinating often.
Losing weight without making an effort.
Ketones are present in the urine.
Feeling irritated or experiencing other mood swings.
Having hazy eyesight.
I’m suffering with slow-healing sores.
Infections such as gum, skin, and vaginal infections are common.
Diabetes type 1
Diabetes type 1 can strike at any age. However, it frequently begins in infancy or adolescence. The more prevalent kind of diabetes,
Diabetes type 2
type 2, can occur at any age. People over the age of 40 are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. However, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in youngsters is rising.
Treatments
Healthy eating
Physical activity
Insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump, regular blood sugar tests, and carbohydrate counting are all part of type 1 diabetes treatment. Pancreas or islet cell transplantation may be a possibility for certain persons with type 1 diabetes.
Treatment for type 2 diabetes consists mostly on lifestyle adjustments, blood sugar monitoring, and the use of oral diabetic medications, insulin, or both.
THYROID
Thyroid disorders often develop slowly, and many people may not notice symptoms until hormone levels become significantly imbalanced. In some cases, signs may be subtle or mistaken for other health issues.
Symptoms
A few common symptoms of thyroid dysfunction include:
Fatigue or weakness
Weight gain or loss without changes in diet
Changes in heart rate (too fast or too slow)
Hair thinning or dry skin
Mood changes such as anxiety or depression
Constipation
Puffy Face
Hoarse Voice
Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness.
Menstrual cycles that are heavier than usual or irregular.
Slowed heart rate, also called bradycardia
Memory Problems
These symptoms are not always specific and can vary depending on whether the thyroid is overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). Proper testing is essential for diagnosis.
Anyone, even newborns, can develop hypothyroidism. Most newborns born without a thyroid gland or with a thyroid gland that does not function properly do not exhibit symptoms immediately away. However, if hypothyroidism is not detected and treated, symptoms emerge.
Treatments
Thyroid disorder treatment depends on whether it’s underactive or overactive. Hypothyroidism is usually treated with hormone replacement, while hyperthyroidism may require antithyroid medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery. Regular monitoring ensures proper hormone balance and effective management.
Antithyroid medications (e.g., Methimazole, Propylthiouracil)
Radioactive iodine therapy
Surgery (thyroidectomy)

Frequently Asked Questions.
What is the difference between chronic and acute conditions?
Acute conditions develop suddenly and are typically short-term, like the flu or a broken bone. Chronic conditions develop gradually, last longer, and often require ongoing management, such as diabetes or hypertension.
What are invisible illnesses?
Invisible illnesses are chronic conditions that aren’t immediately apparent to others. Examples include fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and mental health disorders. Despite the lack of visible symptoms, these conditions can significantly impact a person’s life.
What role does mental health play in chronic illness management?
Mental health is crucial in managing chronic illnesses. Conditions like depression and anxiety can exacerbate physical symptoms and hinder treatment adherence. Addressing mental health through counseling, support groups, and, if necessary, medication can improve overall health outcomes.
Are there support groups for individuals with chronic illnesses?
Yes, many organizations offer support groups for people with chronic conditions. These groups provide a platform to share experiences, coping strategies, and emotional support, which can be beneficial in managing the challenges of chronic illnesses.
