Shingles Risks in Seniors
Two specialists warned that shingles, caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, can lead older adults and people with chronic illnesses to experience persistent nerve pain after the rash has cleared, as well as complications affecting the eyes, ears, and brain. The risk of developing shingles is 15% higher among people with heart disease and may rise to 27% among those with two or more chronic conditions. Research has also found an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications during the year after infection. The specialists stressed the importance of raising awareness about symptoms and prevention, ensuring early diagnosis, and seeking medical care—particularly for those at higher risk.
