Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the brain’s pineal gland. It plays a key role in regulating your circadian rhythm, or sleep-wake cycle. As daylight fades, melatonin levels rise, signaling to your body that it’s time to wind down. Melatonin supplements mimic this effect and are commonly used to help with insomnia, jet lag, and delayed sleep phase disorder. They’re especially helpful for shift workers or anyone adjusting to a new sleep schedule.

So, are melatonin supplements safe? For most adults, short-term use is considered safe and non-addictive. However, side effects can occur, including headache, dizziness, nausea, daytime drowsiness, and vivid dreams or nightmares. Less common effects include mood changes, stomach cramps, and reduced alertness. Melatonin may also interact with medications for blood pressure, diabetes, seizures, and birth control.

That’s why it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting melatonin—especially if you’re taking other medications or have underlying health conditions.

Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a common condition that affects the bladder’s ability to store urine properly. It’s characterized by a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate—even when the bladder isn’t full. This urgency can lead to frequent bathroom trips, disrupted sleep, and in some cases, urinary incontinence. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we believe that understanding the symptoms is the first step toward effective management.

Common symptoms of OAB include:

- Urgency: A strong, sudden need to urinate that’s difficult to control

- Frequency: Needing to urinate more than eight times in 24 hours

- Nocturia: Waking up more than once during the night to urinate

- Urge incontinence: Involuntary leakage of urine following a strong urge

OAB can affect people of all ages and often impacts quality of life. The good news is that it’s manageable with lifestyle changes, bladder training, and medications.

Yes—ni****ne can increase your risk of headaches. Whether through smoking, va**ng, chewing to***co, or ni****ne replacement therapies, this stimulant affects your central nervous system and blood vessels in ways that may trigger headache pain. Ni****ne acts as a vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows blood vessels, which can reduce blood flow to the brain and lead to tension-type or even cluster headaches.

Additionally, ni****ne may heighten your brain’s sensitivity to pain signals and interfere with the effectiveness of headache medications. Withdrawal from ni****ne can also cause headaches, especially in the first few days of quitting, as your body adjusts to changes in blood flow and neurotransmitter levels. If you’re experiencing frequent headaches and use ni****ne products, it may be worth discussing alternatives or support options with a healthcare professional.

Anxiety can trigger a cascade of physical symptoms—and one of the most unsettling is shortness of breath. When you're anxious, your body enters “fight or flight” mode, causing rapid, shallow breathing that can make you feel like you're not getting enough air. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we want to help you understand how to manage this response and regain control of your breath.

To prevent breathlessness during anxious moments, try diaphragmatic breathing—also known as belly breathing. Sit or lie down comfortably, place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Inhale slowly through your nose, allowing your belly to rise while keeping your chest still. Exhale gently through your mouth. Repeat this for a few minutes to calm your nervous system and restore steady breathing. Pairing this with mindful grounding techniques, like focusing on your surroundings or counting backward from 100, can further reduce anxiety.

Queen Peoples Pharmacy offers wellness support and products that can help you manage anxiety naturally and effectively.

Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. It occurs when abnormal white blood cells begin to multiply uncontrollably, crowding out healthy cells and impairing the body's ability to fight infections, carry oxygen, and stop bleeding. There are several types of leukemia, including acute and chronic forms, which are classified based on how quickly the disease progresses and which blood cells are affected—either myeloid or lymphoid cells.

Symptoms of leukemia can vary but often include fatigue, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, swollen lymph nodes, and bone pain. Because these symptoms can resemble other illnesses, accurate diagnosis is essential. Diagnosis typically begins with a physical exam and blood tests such as a complete blood count (CBC), which can reveal abnormal levels of white or red blood cells and platelets. If leukemia is suspected, a bone marrow biopsy may be performed to confirm the presence of leukemia cells and determine the specific type.

New research reveals a concerning connection: chronic stress may significantly increase the risk of stroke in adults aged 18 to 49. In one study, young women experiencing moderate stress were found to have a 78% higher risk of stroke compared to their less-stressed peers. While stroke is often associated with older age, this data shows that stress-related health risks are becoming more relevant for younger populations—especially those juggling work, family, and financial pressures.

Chronic stress affects the body in many ways. It can elevate blood pressure, increase inflammation, and disrupt sleep—all of which are known contributors to stroke risk. What’s more, stress can lead to unhealthy coping habits like smoking, poor diet, and alcohol use, compounding the danger. For young adults, especially women, the cumulative effect of stress may be more potent than previously understood.

At Queen Peoples Pharmacy, we believe prevention starts with awareness. Your brain health matters—no matter your age.

Struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep? Magnesium might be the missing piece in your nighttime routine. This essential mineral plays a key role in calming the nervous system by regulating neurotransmitters like GABA, which helps slow brain activity and promote relaxation. Magnesium also supports the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for managing your sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to drift off naturally.

Low magnesium levels have been linked to poor sleep quality, anxiety, and even restless leg syndrome—all common contributors to insomnia. Supplementing with magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate may help improve sleep duration and reduce nighttime awakenings. However, it’s important to choose the right form and dosage, typically between 200–500 mg before bed, and consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider to ensure it’s safe for you.

At Queen Peoples Pharmacy, we’re here to help you sleep better and live healthier. Visit us to explore magnesium supplements and get personalized advice from our knowledgeable team. Let’s make restful nights a reality—naturally.

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a medication commonly prescribed for type 2 diabetes and weight management. While it offers powerful benefits, some users report experiencing heartburn or acid reflux during treatment. This discomfort—often described as a burning sensation in the chest or throat—can be linked to how Ozempic slows digestion, causing food to remain in the stomach longer and increasing pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter. This pressure can allow stomach acid to rise into the esophagus, triggering heartburn.

Symptoms may include burping, indigestion, chest discomfort, and sour taste, especially after meals or when lying down. Though not listed as a common side effect in clinical trials, many users have reported it anecdotally. Fortunately, heartburn can often be managed with lifestyle changes such as eating smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods (like spicy or greasy items), and staying upright after eating. Over-the-counter remedies like antacids or H2 blockers may also help, but always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that temporarily affects brain function. It’s commonly caused by a direct blow to the head, but did you know you can get a concussion without hitting your head? Sudden movements—like whiplash from a car accident or a hard fall—can cause your brain to jolt or twist inside your skull, leading to symptoms such as headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound.

This type of injury can happen during sports, vehicle collisions, or even intense amusement park rides. The key factor is rapid acceleration or deceleration of the head, which causes the brain to shift and stretch within its protective fluid. If you experience symptoms like memory issues, fatigue, or mood changes after a jarring incident—even without a visible head injury—it’s important to seek medical attention.
