Top Conditions Treated in Internal Medicine

Below are the most common conditions managed by our Internal Medicine team. Each links to a detailed clinical patient journey page that explains the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment process for that condition.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
A common and often silent condition that increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Diagnosis requires repeated blood pressure readings. Treatment includes lifestyle modification and medications to control long-term cardiovascular risk.

Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2 and Prediabetes)
A chronic disease of insulin resistance and high blood sugar that can lead to neuropathy, nephropathy, and heart disease. Managed through diet, exercise, oral agents, and insulin therapy, with close monitoring for complications.

Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol)
Elevated LDL and triglycerides raise cardiovascular risk even without symptoms. Diagnosed via lipid panel and managed with statins, dietary changes, and long-term lipid monitoring.

Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
Defined by a BMI ≥30, obesity contributes to diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Comprehensive management includes nutrition counseling, behavioral therapy, weight-loss medication, and bariatric surgery if indicated.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Chronic acid reflux that causes heartburn and may lead to Barrett’s esophagus. Diagnosed clinically or with pH testing/endoscopy. Managed with diet modification, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and surgical options if needed.

COPD and Asthma
Chronic airway diseases that cause cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Diagnosed with spirometry and treated using inhalers, pulmonary rehabilitation, and smoking cessation support.

Depression and Anxiety Disorders
Common mental health conditions in primary care, often linked with chronic illness. Diagnosed through screening and managed with counseling, medication (SSRIs/SNRIs), and behavioral interventions.

Osteoarthritis and Back Pain
Degenerative joint and spine conditions that cause pain and functional limitation. Diagnosis is clinical or imaging-based. Management includes physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, injections, and surgical referral when necessary.

Thyroid Disorders
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism cause fatigue, weight change, and palpitations. Diagnosed via TSH and T4 testing and managed with medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery depending on cause and severity.
