Why You Should Consider an Asthma Action Plan
In this article, Jawahar Thomas explains the importance of being prepared in the event of an asthma attack.
Asthma is a disease that often causes coughing fits and shortness of breath, depending on the severity of the condition. To prevent these frustrating symptoms, or at least manage them, we generally recommend quick-relief preventers so that you can be reasonably active in your daily routines. We have medication for short-term relief as well as long-term preventers. If you think it is time to review your asthma action plan, get in touch with Jawahar Thomas.
Be Prepared for Triggers
In many cases, an event like the common cold or pollutants in the air can trigger a severe asthma attack that has the potential to aggravate typical asthma symptoms. Do you know what to do when this happens? If you have a good asthma treatment plan in place you and or your family, friends, colleagues and peers should be able to assist when urgent attention is required. In these situations, you can potentially avoid a trip to the hospital by following these guidelines.
Be Proactive About Your Health Needs
Ideally, you shouldn’t wait for an asthmatic episode and then react. You should be aware of your asthma triggers so that you can adjust your lifestyle accordingly. If physical exertion, for instance, is your asthma trigger, check in with a doctor like Jawahar Thomas for a health assessment.

Diabetes Symptoms and How to Manage Your Health
In this article, Jawahar Thomas discusses common diabetic issues and what you can do if your affected by diabetes.
Diabetes is a serious condition that has the potential to affect your entire body and can lead to detrimental health issues. If you are diabetic, it is important to understand your situation so that you can treat it accordingly and get on with your day-to-day routine. This often involves self-care activities every day to manage your glucose and insulin levels.
Typically, diabetes affects your capacity to naturally produce insulin, which is needed to control your sugar/glucose levels. Without a proper control of glucose in your bloodstream, you can be adversely affected.
Type 1 diabetes is when the pancreas does not produce insulin. To manage this issue, you will require insulin injections possibly several times a day. There are also insulin pumps available to assist with administering insulin. Type 1 diabetes symptoms include weakness, fatigue, blurred vision, thirst and urination.
Type 2 diabetes is when your body becomes resistant to the normal effects of insulin. Also, your pancreas may not be able to produce enough insulin to regular your glucose levels. This is the more common type of the condition and some of the symptoms include:
Slow healing cuts
Gradual weight gain
Mood swings
Headaches
Leg cramps
Dizziness
Hunger pains
Potential Causes and Risks
If you have a family history of diabetes, are over 45 years-old and are obese or have high blood pressure, you are more susceptible to developing diabetes symptoms. If you think you could be at risk and want to be proactive about your health, get in touch with Jawahar Thomas today.

Men’s Health in Sydney—Jawahar Thomas’ Checklist
In this article, Jawahar Thomas discusses men’s health in Sydney, specifically: the top tests and screenings you should be organising to stay on top of your health.
Guys have a tendency to ignore their health needs. ‘I’ll get that checked tomorrow’, they’ll say, or ‘I won’t worry about that lump until it gets bigger’. The problem with this mentality is that not all men’s health issues are as simple as check-the-bump-and-get-it-fixed. Men’s health in Sydney is important to be proactive about because too many people leave things until it is too late to treat or manage properly.
You should be looking after yourself, which is why Jawahar Thomas recommends that you read his checklist and give yourself a perfectly good reason to check in for a consultation.
General Health Assessment
When was the last time you visited a doctor just to say hello? A proper physical exam is a good idea for comparing your overall health with state metrics. Also, if you have a family history with certain medical issues, we can work together to develop a care plan to ensure that you are doing everything you can to be proactive.
Mental Health Review
Feeling low? Not sure why? Jawahar Thomas is a general practitioner in Sydney who can assess you for depression, anxiety and a number of other mental health conditions.
Prostate Cancer Screening
Has there been a history of prostate cancer in your family? Are you considered to be high-risk for prostate cancer? Visit one of our medical clinics for screening. For more information, contact us .
Blood Pressure Test
How is your cholesterol? We can arrange for a blood test to check your cholesterol levels and also check your cardiovascular system.
Skin Cancer Screening
Odd pigments in your skin may be more than just a freckle. Patients over the age of 40 are recommended to request skin cancer screenings if they are concerned about a spot on their skin that has odd shape or colour.
Diabetes Screening
Testing for diabetes is important, especially if you think are at risk. There are preventative actions that you can take in your lifestyle to stop diabetes from being a major issue in your life. For more information,contact Jawahar Thomas.
