Chronic illnesses are long-term health conditions that require ongoing care, monitoring, and lifestyle support. While conditions like diabetes, hypertension, COPD, asthma, and heart disease may not be curable, they are highly manageable with consistent medical follow-up, early detection of complications, and a personalized care plan. At Shenoy Primary Care, our goal is to help patients understand their conditions, stay in control of their health, and improve their quality of life through compassionate, evidence-based, and collaborative care.
An acute exacerbation occurs when a chronic condition suddenly worsens, leading to a rapid increase in symptoms and a higher risk of complications. Conditions such as asthma, COPD, heart failure, and diabetes can flare up due to infections, stress, medication changes, or environmental triggers. Early recognition and timely treatment are essential to prevent hospitalization and protect long-term health. At Shenoy Primary Care, we help patients identify warning signs, manage flare-ups quickly, and create personalized action plans to stay safe and stable.
