𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 "𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁"? 🕰️

We all know a good night's sleep makes us less cranky the next day. But did you know it’s actually a vital part of your heart health?

When you sleep, your blood pressure goes down, giving your heart and blood vessels a much-needed break.

If you aren't getting those recommended 7–8 hours, your blood pressure stays elevated for a longer period of time.

Over time, chronically poor sleep can increase your risk for heart disease, even if you exercise and eat right!

𝐒𝐨...
Turn off the screens 30 minutes earlier, drop the AC down a couple of degrees, and give your heart the rest it deserves. 🌙

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭.
Think about that for a sec.

When you are constantly stressed, your body is flooded with cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, this chronic stress can:
⚠️ Raise your blood pressure
⚠️ Increase inflammation
⚠️ Lower your "good" cholesterol

𝐌𝐢𝐝-𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Take 5 minutes today to step away from your desk, put your phone on 'Do Not Disturb', and just breathe. Your heart will thank you. 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

How do you de-stress after a long day? Let us know below! 👇

Happy Friday the 13th! 👻

We aren't superstitious at Noorani Medical Center. We don't worry about black cats or walking under ladders.

Why? Because we believe in prevention, not luck.

The best way to avoid "bad luck" with your health is to stay ahead of it.
✓ Know your numbers.
✓ Eat your veggies.
✓ Move your body.

Make your own luck this weekend! (And maybe avoid the ladders... just in case. 😉)

3am Google search: "headache + fatigue + nausea" 😰
Google's diagnosis: Brain tumor, meningitis, or carbon monoxide poisoning
The likely diagnosis: Dehydration, stress, or you need glasses.

The algorithm is designed for clicks, not accuracy.

It can't examine you.

Physical findings change everything - and Google can't see or touch you.

It doesn't know YOUR history. Chest pain might be anxiety for a healthy 25-year-old, but a heart issue for someone with diabetes.

Google can't factor in your age, medications, or risk factors.

It creates anxiety, not knowledge.

Reading 50 articles about what MIGHT be wrong doesn't make you informed - it makes you terrified. Medical school is years of training for a reason.

WHEN GOOGLE HELPS:
✅ Learning about a diagnosis your doctor gave you
✅ Understanding prescribed medications
✅ Researching questions to ASK your doctor

WHEN GOOGLE HURTS:
❌ Self-diagnosing before seeing a doctor
❌ Convincing yourself you have rare diseases
❌ Stopping medications based on internet forums

If something's worrying you enough to Google it at 3am, call your doctor instead.

It’s not always like the movies. 🎬🚫

When we think of a heart attack, we picture what we see in Hollywood: A man clutching his chest and collapsing.

But for women, the signs can be much subtler.

Did you know women are more likely to experience "silent" symptoms?
🚩 Extreme fatigue
🚩 Nausea or indigestion
🚩 Pain in the jaw, neck, or back
🚩 Shortness of breath (without chest pain)

Don't wait for the "Hollywood moment." If something feels wrong, listen to your body.

Share this post with the women in your life. You might just save a heart. ❤️

If we could put the benefits of walking into a pill, it would be the most prescribed medication in the world. 💊

Walking just 30 minutes a day can:
✅ Lower your blood pressure
✅ Reduce stress (Monday feels, anyone?)
✅ Strengthen your heart muscle

Your Mission Today: Don't overthink it. Put on your shoes. Walk for 15 minutes away from your house, then turn around and walk back. That’s it. You’re done.

The #1 thing hiding in your lunch right now.

If you're watching your blood pressure, you probably know to put down the salt shaker.

But did you know that 70% of the sodium we eat comes from packaged and restaurant foods? 😲

Common Sodium Bombs:
❌ Deli meats (Turkey isn't always "healthy"!)
❌ Canned soups
❌ Salad dressings
❌ Bread & rolls

The Fix: Read the label. Look for "Low Sodium" options and try seasoning with garlic, lemon, or herbs instead of salt.

Your heart will thank you!

Welcome to February—American Heart Month. ❤️

We are dedicating the next 28 days to the most hardworking muscle in your body.

High blood pressure is often called "The Silent Killer" because it rarely has obvious symptoms... until it’s too late. The only way to know if you are at risk is to check.

Your challenge this week: Stop by a pharmacy or come see us to get your blood pressure checked.

Let’s keep hearts beating strong in Riverview this month!
