Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness. If you have vertigo, you may feel like you are spinning or falling when you are still. Or you may feel like your surroundings are spinning around you. The most common cause of vertigo is benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV), which is caused by crystals in the balance centre of your inner ear moving out of place.

Vertigo can be very distressing. Ongoing vertigo can stop you from doing your usual activities, and it may put you off exercising or make it unsafe for you to drive.

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. Every two hours an Australian woman is diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. These are cancers that involve the female reproductive organs – the v***a, va**na, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and placenta.

The most common gynae cancer is uterine or endometrial cancer. In 2020, the estimated number of new cases diagnosed in Australia was 3,224 women. The second most common is ovarian cancer, which is often referred to as the silent killer as there are often no symptoms of the disease until it is at an advanced stage.

Alcohol can interact with many medicines. This can change how both the alcohol and the medicine affect you. Alcohol also depresses your central nervous system (CNS). This means that it slows down your brain activity and the messages your brain sends to your body. When combined with medicines that also depress your CNS, the effect is stronger and can be very dangerous.

Always check with your doctor before you combine medicines and alcohol.

Your phone carries a dirty secret… 🦠

From the morning commute to the dinner table (and even the toilet in between), we don’t give much thought to where we use our phones and the dirt and germs we pick up along the way.

Make sure you wash your hands regularly to help stop the spread of germs.

It’s a good idea to clean your phone regularly too – make sure you use products that won’t damage it.

Plantar fasciitis happens when your plantar fascia becomes damaged. The plantar fascia is a piece of strong, thick tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It connects your heel bone to the toes, creating the arch of the foot.

The main symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain under your heel. This pain can be dull or sharp. If you have plantar fasciitis, you may also notice aching or burning on the sole of your foot and swelling in your heel.
