After 80, Serious Problems May Look Mild: 5 Quiet Changes to Watch

After 80, serious problems may look mild. Learn the five quiet changes to watch, from a pneumonia or urinary infection with no fever to a heart attack without chest pain, and when to call the doctor or emergency services. In this video you will learn how the body's alarm signals can turn down with age, and what to look for in yourself or in someone you care for. We cover infection without fever, dehydration that shows up as confusion, medicine side effects mistaken for getting older, and new confusion or an unexplained fall as the only sign. You will also get a simple temperature and breathing check, a three-minute daily routine, a medicine list habit, and clear rules for when to call the doctor the same day and when to call emergency services right away. Along the way we answer common questions such as warning signs in the elderly, signs of delirium, atypical heart attack symptoms and what to say when you phone for help. This is for adults over 80, for anyone over 60 who wants to plan ahead, and for family members and caregivers.
