Cold and flu season brings a lot of over-the-counter choices. And if you’re on blood thinners, some of them matter more than you might expect. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to watch for.

Blood thinners are sensitive to changes in routine🩸 Seasonal travel, dehydration, and certain cold medications can interfere with how they work or increase side effects.

Knowing what to watch for, and when to ask questions, is an important part of staying safe this winter.

Obesity isn’t just about a number on the scale. It influences inflammation, blood pressure, and how your blood vessels function, often years before symptoms appear.

Understanding what’s happening inside your arteries isn’t about blame or shame.
It’s about physiology, risk, and giving people the information they need to protect their long-term vascular health.

A blood clot is often treated in the hospital — but many people leave with more questions than answers.
Questions about symptoms, medications, activity, and what’s normal moving forward.

Our Blood Clot Support Group is a space to ask those questions, learn from experts, and connect with others who understand what you’re navigating.

❤️ The holidays ask a lot of your heart.
Travel, big emotions, salty meals, disrupted routines — it’s the perfect storm that makes December a peak month for heart attacks.

Know the warning signs: shortness of breath, unusual pressure or discomfort, nausea, or fatigue that doesn’t match the moment. If something feels “off,” trust that instinct.

Taking care of your heart helps you stay present for the moments that matter most.

Postpartum is supposed to be about bonding with your baby — not fighting for your life. ❤️‍🩹

Holiday Heart Syndrome happens when alcohol triggers an abnormal heart rhythm — usually AFib — even in people with no history of heart problems. And it spikes every holiday season.

Alcohol increases adrenaline levels, dehydrates you, and disrupts your heart’s electrical signals. Combine that with stress, salty foods, and poor sleep… and your heart can flip into AFib fast.

⚠️ Symptoms to watch for:
• racing or fluttering heartbeat
• chest discomfort
• shortness of breath
• dizziness or feeling faint

Enjoy the holidays — just listen to your heart and pace the drinks.

Share this to keep someone safe this season. ❤️
