What are some common health concerns for senior citizens?

I received this in a WhatsApp forward and felt it should be widely shared.

A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells senior citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:

If liquid or food enters the trachea and is coughed out, the face will turn red and the blood pressure will soar. Sometimes choking can be fatal.

Take care and share with other elderly.
