Many people suffer from somatic disease, which is an umbrella term that refers to any number of physical disorders or diseases. These conditions can be extremely debilitating and difficult to manage, so it’s important to know what you’re up against if you’re living with one of them. In this article, we’ll discuss the different types of somatic diseases and how they can affect your life, as well as some of the common symptoms.
Cardiovascular Disease.
Multiple chronic conditions are often seen as a single entity, which can lead to significant misunderstandings and poor treatment outcomes. Many people with multiple chronic conditions are unaware that they have the cardiopulmonary disease (CVD) and vice versa. As a result, these individuals may not receive the appropriate treatment for their health condition and may even develop additional complications.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for more than one-third of all deaths each year. CVD can be caused by a variety of factors, including smoking, diet, and physical activity. However, many people with CVD don’t know they have it because it doesn’t typically manifest itself until later in life.
People with CVD often experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeats. If left untreated, CVD can lead to heart attack or stroke. In some cases, CVD may be mild and go undetected for years; in others, it may be severe and require immediate treatment.
It’s important for people with multiple chronic conditions to be aware of their risk for CVD and to seek out early detection and treatment. By workingtogether, we can help these individuals lead healthier lives and reduce their risk of developing this deadly disease.
Cancer
Cancer is the most common fatal disease in the United States. It affects both men and women, regardless of age, race or ethnicity. Cancer diagnosis rates are increasing every year and it is estimated that by 2020, one out of two Americans will develop cancer.
Cancer is caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the body. The most common types of cancer are lung, breast, colorectal, ovarian and prostate cancer. Cancer can also be caused by exposure to environmental or lifestyle hazards such as smoking, radiation or asbestos.
There is no known cure for cancer but there are a number of treatments available that can prolong a person’s life. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy and targeted therapy. Some people choose to receive a combination of treatments to maximize their chances of success.
There is no one cause for any type of cancer and no one treatment works for everyone. It is important to consult with a qualified health care provider to discuss your individualized treatment plan.
Hypertension
Hypertension is a common condition that affects blood pressure. It can lead to heart disease and other complications. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than a third of adults in the United States have hypertension.
There are many different types of hypertension, but the most common is high blood pressure caused by an increased heart rate or workload. Other causes of hypertension include obesity, diabetes, age, and smoking.
If you have hypertension, it’s important to know what to do about it. You can try to lower your blood pressure with lifestyle changes, medications, or a combination of both. If these measures don’t work, your doctor may refer you to a hypertension specialist for further treatment.
Osteoarthritis
One of the most common diseases is osteoarthritis, which is caused by the wear and tears on the joints. The cartilage that covers the ends of bones can deteriorate, leading to pain and inflammation in the joint. There are many causes of osteoarthritis, including age, weight gain, occupation, genetics, and trauma. Treatment typically involves medications and surgery to restore function and relieve pain.
Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that results from the body’s inability to produce or use insulin. The most common type of diabetes, type II diabetes, is caused by the body’s inability to produce enough insulin. Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss. Diabetes can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and blindness. There is now a blood test available that can help identify if someone has diabetes early in the disease process.
Multiple Chronic Disease
Multiple chronic conditions are a growing problem in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the number of Americans living with at least one chronic condition has increased by 60 percent since 1990. In addition, the Institute of Medicine has identified multiple chronic conditions as a public health crisis.
The causes of multiple chronic conditions are unknown, but they are associated with a high prevalence of diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Multiple chronic conditions also lead to an increased risk of premature death.
There is no Cure for Multiple Chronic Conditions, but there are treatments that can improve the symptoms and/or prolong life. Treatment typically includes medication and/or surgery. Many people require both types of treatment to achieve optimal results.
If you are suffering from one or more multiple chronic conditions, it is important to seek out treatment from a qualified health care provider. There is no shame in seeking help, and the treatments available are powerful tools that can improve your quality of life.
