Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney problems. Management involves accurate blood pressure measurement, assessment of cardiovascular risk, lifestyle modification and medication when required. Regular follow-up helps evaluate blood pressure control and identify possible complications.
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic condition characterised by elevated blood glucose levels. Management includes blood sugar monitoring, nutritional guidance, physical activity, appropriate medication and screening for complications. Dr. Raghapriya Raghu lists diabetes-related care among her internal medicine services, with treatment decisions guided by the patient's clinical condition.
Fever may occur because of viral infections, bacterial illnesses, inflammatory conditions or other medical problems. Evaluation involves reviewing symptoms, duration of illness, examination findings and relevant investigations. Treatment depends on identifying the underlying cause. Persistent fever, breathing difficulty, confusion or signs of dehydration may require urgent medical assessment.
Infectious diseases may affect different organ systems and can result from bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Medical management involves clinical assessment, appropriate diagnostic investigations and treatment selected according to the identified or suspected infection. Dr. Raghapriya Raghu has documented clinical expertise in infectious diseases and emerging infections.
HIV is a viral infection that affects the immune system. Modern HIV care involves timely diagnosis, antiretroviral therapy, regular viral load monitoring and prevention or treatment of associated illnesses. Ongoing medical follow-up supports treatment adherence and long-term health. Dr. Raghapriya Raghu has a documented professional interest in HIV medicine.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, most commonly affecting the lungs. Symptoms may include persistent cough, fever, weight loss and night sweats. Diagnosis can involve sputum testing, molecular investigations and imaging. Treatment requires an appropriate multidrug regimen, careful follow-up and adherence to recommended protocols.
Respiratory infections affect the airways or lungs and may cause cough, fever, sore throat, breathing difficulty or chest discomfort. Assessment helps distinguish common self-limiting infections from more serious illnesses such as pneumonia. Treatment depends on the likely cause and severity, and antibiotics are prescribed only when clinically appropriate.
Adult vaccination helps protect against certain preventable infectious diseases. Recommended vaccines depend on age, medical history, pregnancy status, occupation and underlying health conditions. An internal medicine consultation can help review immunisation history and identify appropriate vaccinations, particularly for adults with chronic illnesses or specific infection risks.
Chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and certain cardiovascular disorders may require continuous medical care. Lifestyle and chronic disease management focuses on monitoring, medication review, nutrition, physical activity, sleep and risk-factor reduction. Regular assessment can help identify complications early and support informed long-term health decisions.
Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland produces too much or too little thyroid hormone. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight changes, temperature intolerance and altered heart rate. Evaluation may involve thyroid function tests and other investigations. Treatment depends on the specific condition and may require endocrine specialist involvement.
Headaches can occur because of primary headache disorders, infections, medication-related problems or other medical conditions. Clinical assessment considers headache pattern, severity, associated symptoms and warning signs. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis. Sudden severe headache or headache with neurological symptoms requires immediate medical attention.
Critical care medicine focuses on patients experiencing severe, potentially life-threatening illnesses that may require intensive monitoring and organ support. Conditions can include severe infections, respiratory failure and other serious medical complications. Dr. Raghapriya Raghu completed fellowship training in critical care medicine, supporting her clinical expertise in complex patient assessment.
Patients recovering from stroke may require ongoing management of blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and other risk factors. Long-term care can include medication review, prevention of recurrent stroke and coordination with neurology and rehabilitation teams. Sudden new weakness, speech difficulty or facial drooping requires emergency medical evaluation.
Non-interventional cardiac care involves medical assessment and management of selected cardiovascular conditions without catheter-based procedures or surgery. Internal medicine services may include follow-up for heart failure, cardiac risk factors and stable rhythm-related concerns, with specialist referral where necessary. Treatment depends on examination findings, investigations and the severity of symptoms.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a long-term respiratory condition that limits airflow, commonly causing breathlessness, cough and reduced exercise tolerance. Management may include inhaled medication, smoking cessation, vaccination, pulmonary rehabilitation and monitoring. Patients with severe breathing difficulty or worsening symptoms require prompt medical assessment.
Preventive healthcare focuses on identifying risk factors and medical conditions before complications develop. Screening may involve blood pressure measurement, diabetes testing, cholesterol assessment and age-appropriate health reviews. Recommendations should reflect the individual's medical history, symptoms, age and risk factors rather than unnecessary routine investigations.
