💓 Does your heart ever feel like it’s pounding, racing, fluttering or skipping a beat? These sensations can be signs of heart palpitations.

Heart palpitations are common, but some may need medical attention. Seek medical care if palpitations keep coming back or occur with symptoms of chest pain, fainting, severe dizziness or shortness of breath.

Triggers can be different for everyone. Stress, caffeine, poor sleep, dehydration, certain medications and other factors may play a role.

🤢 Is it a stomach bug, food poisoning or something more serious?

Mild nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may improve with rest and fluids. But some digestive symptoms — like signs of dehydration, blood in your stool, vomit, a high fever or severe stomach pain — shouldn’t be ignored.

Understanding the warning signs can help you know when symptoms may be managed at home and when to seek urgent or emergency care.

Starting a fitness routine after 50 doesn’t have to be complicated. The key is to start gradually and choose movement you can sustain.

A balanced routine can include:
• Cardiovascular activity, such as walking or swimming
• Strength training with bodyweight exercises, resistance bands or light weights
• Balance and flexibility exercises, such as stretching, yoga or tai chi

You don’t need a gym to get moving. Short walks, chair squats, wall pushups or a few minutes of stretching at home can all help you build a consistent routine.

Pay attention to how your body feels. If you experience sharp pain, dizziness or joint discomfort, stop and adjust your activity. If you have a medical condition, talk with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.

Small steps can support strength, mobility and independence over time.

Texas heat is more than uncomfortable — it can put serious stress on your body.

Staying ahead of heat-related illness starts with recognizing the warning signs. Headache, unusual fatigue, dizziness, muscle cramps and nausea can be signs your body is struggling with the heat.

Physicians recommend making hydration part of your routine instead of waiting until you feel thirsty. When spending time outside, take breaks from the heat and pay attention to how you feel.

Heat can affect anyone, and older adults, young children and people with certain health conditions may have a harder time tolerating prolonged high temperatures.

Minor cuts and scrapes are common but knowing where to go for care can make all the difference in healing properly and avoiding complications.

Visit urgent care for wounds that may need stitches but have controlled bleeding, or when you're unsure if it's more serious. Go to the ER if bleeding won't stop, the cut is deep or contaminated, or you can see muscle or bone.

Not sure where to go? Our free, 24/7 Consult-A-Nurse® line is here to help. Call 844-70-NURSE (844-706-8773) anytime to speak with a licensed nurse for trusted advice.
