gressive treatments. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a question that I’d love to see answered in your column sometime. My husband recently had major surgery. Before the surgery, they asked if he has ever smoked. (Husband is 77.) He answered that when he was 9, he once smoked a cigarette. He is now in their computer records as an ex-smoker, and the nurse told us she is “required by law” to provide him with information on quitting.
M.D.
Is There a Connection Between Snoring and Sleep Apnea? DEAR DR. ROACH: I took a sleep study and slept on my back all night because I was wired up and couldn’t sleep on my side. After a couple of hours, I was told that I have moderate sleep apnea. I snore when I’m on my back, but not when I’m on my side. Do you think I really have sleep apnea? -- T.M.
When physicians ask, “Have you ever smoked?” do they really want to hear about one cigarette, smoked almost 70 years ago? Is this meaningful information, in medical terms? -- S.S.
Vol. XVI Issue 20
smoking because a significant history of smoking increases heart disease risk, so I might be more likely to recommend treatment to reduce that risk (for example, in a person with elevated blood pressure or cholesterol who otherwise doesn’t quite meet criteria for drug treatment). Also, people who smoked more than 1 pack per day for 30 years, or the equivalent, should have a discussion about whether screening for lung cancer is appropriate. Finally, it’s easier to answer if you have never been a smoker. Some people who smoke socially don’t consider themselves smokers but would still benefit from advice to stop. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

Do Pneumonia Vaccines Protect Seniors from Coronavirus? DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Do vaccines against pneumonia that are currently offered provide seniors any protection against coronavirus? I’ve generally been lax about getting vaccinated, but this pandemic has me thinking I should probably do this. --Procrastinating Patty
Flu vaccine: While annual flu shots are recommended each fall to everyone, they are more important for older adults because seniors have a much greater risk of developing dangerous flu complications. According to the CDC, last year up to 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died because of the flu – most of whom were age 65 and older. To improve your chances of escaping the seasonal flu, consider a vaccine this September or October specifically designed for people 65 and older. The Fluzone High Dose or FLUAD are the two options that provide extra protection beyond what a standard flu shot offers. And all flu shots are covered under Medicare Part B.
chicken pox, shingles is a painful, blistering skin rash that affects more than 1 million Americans every year. All people over age 50 should get the new Shingrix vaccine, which is given in two doses, two to six months apart. Even if you’ve already had shingles, you should still get this vaccination because reoccurring cases are possible. The CDC also recommends that anyone previously vaccinated with Zostavax be revaccinated with Shingrix because it’s significantly more effective. All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover shingles vaccinations, but coverage amounts, and reimbursement rules vary depending on where the shot is given. Check your plan. Tdap vaccine: A one-time dose of the Tdap vaccine, which covers tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) is recommended to all adults. If you’ve already had a Tdap shot, you should get a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster shot every 10 years. All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover these vaccinations.

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau
Virus Means More Work for Me! Just ask me if I’m getting weary of the coronavirus! And I’m not coming at my dislike for the pandemic for any of the normal reasons: the social distancing, the masks, the confusing signals from our governors, etc. etc. What really makes me dislike the disease is that folks must be getting tired of watching “Tiger King” and “Ozark” and other streaming options and are instead thinking up Social Security questions to send me. Lately, I’ve been getting about 50 emails every day. And yesterday, you helped me break a record. I got 122 emails from my readers! In just one day! Oh, I guess I shouldn’t complain. I mean, how many games of Scrabble can I play with my wife before we really get on each other’s nerves? So, answering your questions gives me something to do to help fill these “stay at home” days. But before I get to some of these questions, let me make this point. Because of the high volume of emails I get, I simply do not have time to get into complicated issues. Some readers send me emails that go on and on and on. I understand. I know you think you should give me as much background information as possible to preface your question. But remember that your email is just one of hundreds of emails I have to deal with each week. So, please: Keep your questions as short as possible. Now, here are some of the short and sweet emails I got yesterday.
