- 3. Essential Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- 4. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
- 5. Chronic Low Back Pain
- 6. Chronic Pain Syndrome
- 7. Chronic Shoulder Pain (both shoulders)
- 8. Mild Cognitive Impairment with Memory Loss
- 9. Prostate Cancer
- 10. Aneurysm of Ascending Aorta (without rupture)
- 11. Thoracic Aortic Atherosclerosis
- 12. Coronary Arteriosclerosis
- 13. Multiple Pulmonary Nodules
- 14. Radiation Cystitis
- 15. Chronic Lumbar Radiculopathy
- 16. Psittacosis (a rare lung infection)
- 17. Renal Artery Stenosis (narrowing of arteries in the kidneys)
