Chronic Conditions Q&A

What are chronic conditions?

The term “chronic conditions” describes diseases and disorders that last longer than a year and affect your long-term health.

Many chronic conditions are caused by aging, unhealthy behaviors, and genetics. These conditions usually require ongoing medical care to prevent additional complications. Some untreated conditions can lead to disability and/or premature death.

  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • Cardiac conditions
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Asthma and other respiratory diseases

You can also receive comprehensive care for chronic mood disorders like anxiety and depression. Mental health problems affect not only your emotional health but can also interfere with your physical health and quality of life.

How are chronic conditions diagnosed?

Nu Pathway Healthcare and Wellness offers on-site diagnostic testing for respiratory diseases. This includes rapid COVID-19 testing.

They also offer cardiac testing, X-rays, and other diagnostic imaging. Once they confirm your diagnosis, the team works closely with you to manage your condition.

You should schedule diagnostic testing if you have unusual symptoms that aren’t getting better. Preventive screenings are also available if you have risk factors that include a family history of chronic diseases.
