🫀Did you know that heart attacks are more common during the winter?

When you’re cold, blood vessels narrow, raising blood pressure and heart rate. This is a normal response, but if you have a heart condition, it can increase your risk of a heart attack - especially during exercise.

Look after your heart this winter by:

👕 Layering up with thin layers to trap heat

🍲 Enjoying warming meals & hot drinks for energy

🧤 In very cold weather, adding a hat, scarf & gloves when heading out

Make sure you know the warning signs of a heart attack, and if you think you or someone else might be having one, call 999 for an ambulance immediately.

There is currently a national shortage of co codamol 30/500 tablets, affecting supplies across Wales and the rest of the UK. Our healthcare teams have been advised on how to manage this so that patients continue to receive safe and appropriate pain relief.

To help us manage supply safely, we are asking patients to:
• Only request your medication when it is due – please do not order early or ask for extra supplies.
• Use up any tablets you already have at home before requesting more.
• Be aware that your prescriber may make changes to your prescription so that your treatment can continue safely.
• Check the instructions on your medication, as your dose or product may change.
• Let your healthcare team know if you have recently changed what you take for pain relief.

Stockpiling reduces availability for people who need treatment now. Thank you for helping us to use medicines responsibly during this disruption.

If you have concerns about your pain management or your prescription, please speak with your healthcare team.

I have just left the surgery and saw a white dog on its own without any owner nearby. It was opposite the library, I saw it as I was about to turn into the A467. I could not stop safely. Just in case anyone is missing their dog 🐶
