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.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a serious eating disorder that goes beyond typical picky eating. It involves a persistent disturbance in eating habits—such as avoiding certain foods due to their texture, color, or smell, or a fear of choking or vomiting—that leads to inadequate nutrition. Unlike other eating disorders, ARFID is not driven by concerns about body image or weight. Instead, it often stems from sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or a lack of interest in food altogether.

ARFID can result in significant health issues, including weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, and impaired growth in children. It may also interfere with daily life, making social situations involving food stressful or isolating. This condition can affect individuals of all ages and often requires a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, including nutritional support and behavioral therapy.

If you or someone you know is struggling with disordered eating, our pharmacists can help guide you toward the right resources and support.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that affects the large intestine. It’s characterized by a group of symptoms including abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation, or both. IBS is considered a functional disorder, meaning the digestive tract appears normal but doesn’t function properly.

Yes—IBS is a chronic condition, which means it can persist for months or even years. While it doesn’t cause permanent damage to the intestines or increase the risk of more serious diseases like colon cancer, it can significantly impact quality of life. Symptoms often come and go in flare-ups, and managing IBS typically involves long-term lifestyle and dietary adjustments.

Disseminated shingles is a severe form of shingles where the rash spreads beyond a single area, affecting multiple parts of the body. Caused by the varicella-zoster virus—the same virus responsible for chickenpox—this condition primarily affects individuals with weakened immune systems. Early detection is crucial to prevent complications and ensure timely treatment.

Common symptoms of disseminated shingles include a painful rash that may itch or tingle, often appearing across multiple areas of the body. Before the rash develops, individuals may experience itching, tingling, or pain, along with a general feeling of being unwell. Other symptoms can include headache, fever, and sensitivity to bright light, making daily activities more challenging.

If you suspect disseminated shingles, seeking medical attention promptly is essential. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we provide expert guidance and support to help you manage symptoms and find the right treatment options.

Green tea is more than just a soothing beverage—it’s packed with powerful compounds that can support weight loss and overall wellness. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we encourage incorporating green tea into your routine to help boost metabolism and burn fat more efficiently. Green tea contains catechins and caffeine, which work together to enhance fat oxidation and increase energy expenditure, making it a great natural aid for weight management.

Drinking green tea regularly can also help regulate appetite and improve digestion, reducing bloating and promoting a healthier gut. Studies suggest that green tea may specifically target visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat linked to various health risks. While green tea alone won’t replace a balanced diet and exercise, it can complement a healthy lifestyle and support your weight loss goals.
