Q. Is there a distinction between sunstroke and heatstroke, and are there any specific indications or symptoms I should watch for?
A. These are two different words for the same illness. Heatstroke (or sunstroke) occurs when the body can no longer keep its temperature below 105° F when exposed to extreme heat. Although people almost always have warning symptoms prior to heatstroke, they frequently ignore them or are unable to act.
Why do I get a salty aftertaste?
Q. For several months, I've experienced a salty taste on my tongue. What can I do to fix this problem?
A. The salty taste could be caused by your taste buds becoming far more sensitive to salt (which is frequently a side effect of medicine) or by high salt concentration in your saliva, which can occur if you get dehydrated. Other possible causes of a salty taste include the following:
● Excessive tears that leak from the lower eyelids down the nose and back of the throat via the tear ducts
● A disease of the salivary glands that can result in decreased saliva production and a salty taste
● Acid reflux frequently results in a sour, bitter, or salty tongue taste.
A metallic or salty taste in your mouth may indicate oral bleeding. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including eating sharp foods such as chips or brushing your gums too vigorously. If your gums bleed frequently after flossing or brushing your teeth, you may have gum disease (gingivitis).
Q. Recently, my eyes have been scratchy and itchy. Is there anything that can be done to assist?
While only a physician can determine the exact origin of your symptoms, you may be suffering from dry eye syndrome, a condition caused by decreased tear production. Without enough of this natural lubricant, eyes may get irritated, be sensitive to light-sensitive, or have a fuzzy vision. Additionally, some people report feeling sticky or having fewer tears when they cry.

A. Yes, dehydration can result in headaches. Certain individuals are far more sensitive than others to dehydration-related headaches, and those who are more susceptible can avoid the headaches by drinking adequate fluids everyday. A water-deprivation headache might be widespread or more confined to the front or rear of the head. Occasionally, it is one-sided. When you bend your head forward or do other head movements, the discomfort tends to get worse. Even walking can aggravate headaches.
It is uncertain why dehydration causes headaches. The brain lacks pain receptors. A dehydration headache may be induced by pain receptors in the meninges, the lining that surrounds the brain. When a person is dehydrated, fluid can escape the brain, putting traction on the meninges and activating the pain receptors. Another probable cause is the increased response you could feel to any form of discomfort when you are thirsty.
While it may appear to be a simple question, what is constipation? The term can refer to a variety of different forms of issues with bowel movement. Constipation can manifest itself in the form of hard, pellet-like stools or a decrease in stool volume. Additionally, it can refer to excessive straining, not having a daily bowel movement, or feeling as if you are unable to eliminate all of the stool. Although all of these are descriptions of constipation, the symptoms vary.

Q. I take hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic) and long-acting metoprolol to control my high blood pressure (a beta-blocker). I'm alright, but my heart rate hasn't increased as much as it did before I started taking the metoprolol. Does this suggest that when I exercise, I am not receiving as much health benefit as I may be?
A. All beta-blockers cause a decrease in heart rate. The slower pace occurs both at rest and during exertion. To gain the maximum benefit from aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be in the moderate-intensity zone for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Moderate-intensity exercise is defined as exercising at a heart rate of 60% to 75% of your maximum.
220 minus your age is a simple calculation for determining your maximal heart rate. As an example, if you are 60 years old, your maximum heart rate is 160. Thus, moderate-intensity exercise is defined as a pulse rate of 96 to 120 beats per minute. While this method is often effective at determining the aerobic intensity of exercise, it does not work for individuals who use a beta-blocker. And, sadly, there is no straightforward solution to compensate for the drug's slower rate.
Rather than that, you can assess your effort by monitoring your respiration. You should be able to speak after moderate-intensity exercise, but with pauses to regain your breath. If you are having difficulty breathing and are unable to speak during exercise, you are performing at a high intensity.
Can beta-blockers have an effect on your capacity to exercise? The studies that have been conducted on your subject have not yielded a conclusive response. A beta-blocker is likely to impair a competitive athlete's performance. However, for the majority of us who exercise to maintain our health, the data points to no loss of benefit, even if we do not meet the typical heart rate standards.
The month of February has been filled with birthday celebrations. From close relatives to friends and family. I've attended 2 birthdays and celebrated 2 from afar, including my mother's birthday, which was on February 20th. Another close friend of mine will be having her birthday on the 26th, and I am completely prepared to look lovely and celebrate with her. This weekend, one of the things I did was rent a venue for a friend's birthday celebration. I truly appreciate the restaurant's design and can't wait to wear another dress from Femme Luxe.
