Senior Diseases

Just because someone’s old and retired, doesn’t mean he or she stops having fun! According to Dr. Graham Fry, a lecturer in tropical medicine, there are relatively few medical conditions that will hinder an elder person on going to a particular trip.

The problems start, when the elderly’s medical conditions are controlled by their environment’s temperature, climates, and altitude. Another problem would be the extreme humidity for the elderly with high blood pressure.

Here are some of the doctor’s tips:

Put all medication in original bottles for airport checks. Have a letter from your doctor.

Don’t put medication in checked-in luggage. The suitcase may get lost.

Carry sufficient supplies for the trip.

Explain any underlying medical condition to the tour operator before going.

Get the right vaccination

Ensure your health insurance is already taken care of

Have fun!!!
