โ˜€๏ธ Sun Safety Tips for Everyone ๐ŸŒž

Whether you're in the UK or abroad, sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer. Remember, itโ€™s not just on holiday that you can get burntโ€”you can burn even when it's cloudy! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

๐Ÿšซ Thereโ€™s no safe or healthy way to get a tan. A tan won't protect your skin from the sunโ€™s harmful effects.

โœจ Itโ€™s important to strike a balance between protecting yourself from the sun and getting enough vitamin D.

๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Spend time in the shade when the sun is at its strongest, which in the UK is between 11am and 3pm from March to October. ๐Ÿ•’

Speak to our pharmacy team for advice on the most suitable products to protect your skin. Stay safe under the sun! ๐ŸŒค๏ธ

๐Ÿšฉ Heatwave Advice โ˜€๏ธ

โ€ข Breathlessness ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
โ€ข Chest pain ๐Ÿ’”

Your heart is more than just a muscle that pumps blood; it is the lifeline to every cell in the body. Despite its ceaseless work, it can face its share of challenges โค๏ธ
Here are five signs that might require medical attention:

#1 โ€“ Unexplained Fatigue ๐Ÿ’ค
Ongoing fatigue that isn't eased by rest can be a sign of an underlying heart issue and can occur at odd times and with relatively little activity. But remember, recognizing this early means youโ€™re one step closer to feeling better!

#2 โ€“ Shortness of Breath ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
Shortness of breath could indicate a problem with the heart's ability to pump blood, or how well the lungs are able to transfer oxygen to your red blood cells. If even doing simple tasks like making your bed or climbing stairs leaves you gasping for air, it might be time to investigate further. Knowing this can help you breathe easier!

#3 โ€“ Chest Discomfort ๐Ÿ˜–
While heartburn and indigestion can certainly cause pain in the chest, it's vital to recognise chest pain related to the heart. Angina often presents as pressure sometimes moving into your neck or down your arm. Identifying this early gives you the power to seek help promptly!

#4 โ€“ Dizziness or Lightheadedness ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
This symptom, associated with a drop in blood pressure, often indicates that the heart is struggling to maintain sufficient circulation. It's time for a check-up! Remember, taking action now leads to better days ahead.

#5 โ€“ Irregular Heartbeat ๐Ÿ’“
Checking your pulse regularly and noting any significant changes or sensations can be a vital part of staying tuned in to your heart's health. Staying aware helps keep your heart strong and steady!

If you're worried about anyhting unusual with your health, your pharmacist is here to listen and advise ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€โš•๏ธ

๐Ÿšจโค๏ธ Don't Ignore the Signs! Recognize the Symptoms of a Heart Attack โค๏ธ๐Ÿšจ

Your heart health matters, and knowing the signs of a heart attack could save a life, maybe even your own! Here are some crucial symptoms to look out for:

1๏ธโƒฃ Chest discomfort: This could feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the centre of your chest that lasts more than a few minutes or comes and goes.

2๏ธโƒฃ Pain or discomfort in other areas of the upper body: This could include one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

3๏ธโƒฃ Shortness of breath: Feeling out of breath, with or without chest discomfort.

If you or someone around you experiences these symptoms, don't hesitate โ€“ call emergency services immediately. Time is of the essence when it comes to treating a heart attack.

Remember, prevention is key! Keep up with regular check-ups, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and listen to your body.

UTI (or wee infection) symptoms usually include pain or burning when you p*e, needing to p*e more often especially at night, pain in your lower tummy or back, a high temperature or sometimes even a very low temperature. ๐Ÿšฝ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Weโ€™re here to help you feel better as soon as possible with advice on the most suitable treatment including prescription medication if our pharmacist feels it is needed on medical grounds. It's all part of our Pharmacy First service provided free on the NHS. ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿฉบ
Of course, we'll tell you if we think your symptoms are more serious and you need to see your GP. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ

In the meantime, here are some useful tips from our pharmacist:
โœ… Take paracetamol up to 4 times a day to reduce pain and high temperature
โœ… A hot water bottle can help ease discomfort ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ›
โœ… Drink lots of fluids throughout the day ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿฅค
โœ… Avoid having s*x until you feel better (you canโ€™t pass on a UTI to a partner but it may be uncomfortable) ๐Ÿšซโค๏ธ
โŒ Donโ€™t use scented soap ๐Ÿงผ๐Ÿšซ
โŒ Donโ€™t hold your p*e in if you feel the urge to go and try to empty your bladder completely ๐Ÿšฝ๐Ÿ’ฆ
โŒ Donโ€™t wear tight, synthetic underwear ๐Ÿ‘™๐Ÿšซ
โŒ Avoid alcohol and sugary food or drinks ๐Ÿท๐Ÿญ๐Ÿšซ.

โ— IMPORTANT โ—
Always follow the instructions on the packet when taking medication.
Taking cystitis or cranberry products hasn't been clinically shown to ease UTI symptoms.
Remember, with the right care and attention, you'll be back to feeling great in no time! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ’Šโฒ

โš ๏ธ The high pollen count coupled with the recent wet weather, followed by sun especially in a polluted area create a 'pollen bomb' which is hay fever sufferer's worst nightmare ๐Ÿซฃ

The pollen count usually peaks in the late morning when particles rise with the warming air into the atmosphere, so itโ€™s best to avoid walking outside at these times of the day โ›…๏ธ Over the course of the day and by early evening, the pollen particles tend to fall back to nose level.
There isnโ€™t a cure for hay fever, but you can try to prevent the worst of the problem with advice and treatment from our pharmacy. This may include anti-histamines, eyedrops or nasal sprays which work by reducing your bodyโ€™s allergic reaction to pollen ๐Ÿ’Š

There are also some lifestyle changes you could try:
๐Ÿ˜Ž Wearing wraparound sunglasses to prevent pollen getting into your eyes
๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿผ Putting Vaseline around your nose to trap pollen
๐Ÿ  Stay inside, and keep windows and doors shut where possible
๐Ÿ€ Avoid walking on cut grass
๐Ÿ’ Donโ€™t keep cut flowers in the house
๐ŸšฆAvoid Polluted Streets - pollution and pollen is an eye-watering combination if you suffer from hay fever.

Think you might have impetigo. Get treated at our pharmacy

Impetigo is a skin infection that's very contagious but not usually serious. It often gets better in 7 to 10 days if you get treatment. Anyone can get it, but it's very common in young children.

Check if you have impetigo:
Impetigo starts with red sores or blisters, but the redness may be harder to see in brown and black skin. The sores or blisters quickly burst and leave crusty, golden-brown patches.

The patches can:
- look a bit like cornflakes stuck to your skin
- get bigger
- spread to other parts of your body
- be itchy
- sometimes be painful

We can no provide the same treatments on the NHS as you'd get at the GP. So stop by the pharmacy for a quick consultation.
