🥵 😬 Sunburned? Here's how to relieve your symptoms until your skin heals:

▪️ Cool down: Take frequent cool baths or showers to relieve the heat.
▪️ Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover.
▪️ Pain relief: Over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help ease discomfort.
▪️ Protect your skin: Wear loose clothing and avoid further sun exposure until healed.

Your nearest pharmacist can advise you on the best treatment if you have sunburn.

With more hot weather expected in the next few days, prevention is better than cure:

▪️ Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.
▪️ Dress appropriately: Wear loose, light-colored clothing and a wide-brimmed hat.
▪️ Seek shade: Avoid direct sun exposure between 11am and 3pm.
▪️ Use sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and reapply every two hours.

Community support service available to anyone with any chest, heart or stroke condition

Today is Helplines Awareness Day. ☎️

Last year, our incredible Advice Line team answered almost 3,000 calls, providing support and guidance when it’s needed most. 🤝📞

We supported people like Rosie from Glasgow.

She had to retire through ill-health in 2009. With a known history of heart problems in the family, Rosie had growing concerns about her own heart health. She got in touch with our Advice Line.

Over the course of several weeks and a series of supportive telephone calls, Rosie got the confidence to speak again to her GP, armed with more knowledge about what tests she might need to allay her fears.

Now Rosie is living confidently again and credits our Advice Line for getting her to a better place mentally and physically. 💛

No question or topic is too big or too small. Call our Advice Line on freephone 0808 801 0899 or email adviceline@chss.org.uk

Here’s an example of just some of the things we can help you with:
