🧠 FAQ Friday: "How Do I Know If My Symptoms Are Stress or Something Else?"

Stress can affect both your mind and body. While headaches, fatigue, stomach issues, and trouble sleeping are often linked to stress, they can also be signs of an underlying medical condition.

Common symptoms that may be related to stress include:

• Frequent headaches or muscle tension
• Ongoing fatigue or low energy
• Stomach pain, nausea, or digestive changes
• Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
• Difficulty concentrating or feeling overwhelmed

🩺 It’s time to talk with a healthcare provider if your symptoms:

• Last for several weeks or continue getting worse
• Interfere with your daily life or sleep
• Are accompanied by fever, chest pain, weight loss, severe pain, or other concerning symptoms
• Don't improve despite reducing stress and practicing healthy habits

💜 You don't have to guess whether your symptoms are "just stress." A conversation with your provider can help determine what's causing them and whether additional evaluation is needed.

Women’s Health Associates and Table Rock Medicine are here to support your physical and emotional well-being.

💧 Signs You May Be Dehydrated (It's Not Just Thirst)

When you think of dehydration, thirst probably comes to mind first—but your body often gives you several other warning signs before you realize you need more fluids.

🚩 Common signs of dehydration include:

• Fatigue or low energy 😴
• Frequent headaches 🤕
• Dizziness or feeling lightheaded
• Dry mouth or dry lips 👄
• Difficulty concentrating or feeling "foggy" 🧠
• Dark yellow urine or urinating less often

☀️ During the summer months, dehydration can happen more quickly—especially if you're spending time outdoors, exercising, traveling, or working in the heat.

💙 The best way to stay ahead of dehydration is to drink water consistently throughout the day instead of waiting until you feel thirsty.

If your symptoms are severe, don't improve after drinking fluids, or are accompanied by confusion, fainting, or persistent vomiting, seek medical attention promptly.

Women’s Health Associates and Table Rock Medicine are here to help you stay healthy, hydrated, and feeling your best all summer long.

❤️ Understanding High Blood Pressure: The Silent Condition

High blood pressure is often called the "silent condition" because it usually doesn't cause noticeable symptoms—but it can quietly damage your heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels over time.

That's why routine blood pressure checks are so important, even if you feel perfectly healthy.

🩺 Regular blood pressure screenings can help:

• Detect high blood pressure before symptoms develop
• Lower your risk of heart attack and stroke ❤️
• Monitor changes over time
• Guide healthy lifestyle changes or treatment when needed
• Protect your long-term heart and kidney health

💡 Risk factors for high blood pressure can include:

• Family history
• Being overweight
• Physical inactivity
• High sodium intake
• Chronic stress
• Increasing age

💜 The good news? High blood pressure is often manageable when it's identified early. Routine wellness visits give you the opportunity to monitor your numbers and take proactive steps to protect your health.

Women’s Health Associates and Table Rock Medicine are here to help you stay healthy through preventive care and personalized primary care.

🩺 Common Reasons Adults Put Off Seeing a Doctor

Life gets busy, and it's easy to push your own health to the bottom of the to-do list. But delaying routine care can allow small health concerns to become bigger problems over time.

Some of the most common reasons people postpone medical care include:

• "I feel fine, so I don't need a checkup."
• "I'm too busy to schedule an appointment." ⏰
• "I don't want to hear bad news."
• "I'll wait and see if it gets better."
• "It's probably nothing."

💜 The truth is, preventive care is about keeping you healthy—not just treating illness.

Routine visits can help:

• Detect health concerns before symptoms develop
• Monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar ❤️
• Keep recommended screenings up to date
• Answer questions and address concerns before they become more serious

Taking an hour for your health today could make a big difference for your future.

Women’s Health Associates and Table Rock Medicine are here to provide compassionate, preventive care for every stage of life.

🩺 FAQ Friday: "Do I Really Need Routine Blood Work Every Year?"

Routine blood work can provide valuable information about your overall health—even if you're feeling perfectly fine. While not everyone needs the same tests every year, your healthcare provider can recommend lab work based on your age, health history, medications, and risk factors.

🧪 Routine blood work may help:

• Detect health conditions before symptoms develop
• Monitor cholesterol, blood sugar, and kidney function
• Evaluate liver health and thyroid function when appropriate
• Identify vitamin deficiencies or anemia
• Track chronic health conditions and medication effectiveness

Your provider will determine which tests are appropriate for you, so routine blood work is personalized—not one-size-fits-all.

💜 Preventive care is one of the best ways to stay ahead of potential health concerns. Annual wellness visits and recommended lab work can help you make informed decisions about your health.

😴 Don't Ignore Persistent Fatigue

Everyone feels tired from time to time—but if you're constantly exhausted despite getting enough rest, it may be your body's way of telling you something more is going on.

Persistent fatigue can be linked to a variety of medical conditions, including:

• Iron deficiency or anemia 🩸
• Thyroid disorders
• Sleep disorders, including sleep apnea 😴
• Chronic stress or anxiety
• Vitamin deficiencies, such as vitamin D or B12
• Other underlying medical conditions

🩺 It's time to talk with your healthcare provider if:

• Fatigue lasts for several weeks
• Rest doesn't improve your energy levels
• You're having trouble keeping up with daily activities
• Fatigue is accompanied by weight changes, shortness of breath, dizziness, or other concerning symptoms

💜 You don't have to accept feeling tired as your "new normal." Identifying the cause of persistent fatigue is the first step toward feeling your best.

Women’s Health Associates and Table Rock Medicine are here to help you find answers and support your long-term health.

🌡️ When Is a Fever Something to Worry About?

A fever is often a sign that your body is fighting an infection. While many fevers improve on their own, there are times when both adults and children should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.

🤒 For adults, seek medical care if a fever:

• Lasts more than 2–3 days
• Reaches 103°F (39.4°C) or higher
• Is accompanied by severe headache, difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, or persistent vomiting
• Returns after initially going away

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For children, contact a healthcare provider if:

• An infant under 3 months has a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher
• A fever lasts longer than expected or continues to worsen
• Your child is unusually sleepy, difficult to wake, dehydrated, or having trouble breathing
• You're concerned about how your child is acting, even if the fever isn't very high

💜 While a fever itself isn't always dangerous, the symptoms that accompany it—and how long it lasts—can help determine whether medical evaluation is needed.

Women’s Health Associates and Table Rock Medicine are here to care for your entire family with compassionate primary care and preventive services.
