Dr. Krunal Gajjar’s consultant physician services centre on adult medicine, where the aim is to understand the whole patient rather than a single symptom. Physicians evaluate symptoms such as fever, fatigue, breathlessness, pain, or unexplained weight change, order the right investigations, and treat the condition or direct patients to the right specialist when needed. With more than 17 years in the field, Dr. Gajjar manages both short-term illnesses and long-term conditions that need regular follow-up.
Diabetes is a long-term condition in which blood sugar levels stay higher than normal. Common warning signs include increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, blurred vision and slow-healing wounds, although some people have no symptoms at first. Management usually combines medicines, healthy eating, regular physical activity and periodic tests of blood sugar and related markers. Regular review helps keep sugar levels in range and lowers the risk of complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart.
High blood pressure often causes no symptoms, which is why it is sometimes called a silent condition. Over time, uncontrolled blood pressure can strain the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and eyes. Management includes regular monitoring, reducing salt intake, staying active, maintaining a healthy weight and, when needed, medicines taken as prescribed. Do not stop or change blood pressure medicines without speaking to your doctor.
The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that helps regulate metabolism. In hypothyroidism, the gland produces too little thyroid hormone, which can cause tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, dry skin, constipation, and low mood. A blood test confirms the diagnosis, and treatment commonly involves daily thyroid hormone replacement with periodic tests to adjust the dose. Because these symptoms overlap with other conditions, testing is the only reliable way to know.
Preventive healthcare focuses on catching problems early and reducing risk before illness develops. It includes regular health check-ups, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol checks, vaccinations as advised, and guidance on diet, exercise, sleep and stress. Adults with a family history of diabetes, heart disease or thyroid problems, and those over 40, benefit from regular screening. A routine review can detect conditions early, when they are easiest to manage.
Carry your previous reports, prescriptions, and a list of all the medicines and supplements you take. Note your symptoms, when they began and what affects them. If you have been advised fasting tests, follow the instructions provided. Mention any allergies, past surgeries and family history of illness.
