The risks of developing peripheral artery disease, or PAD, go up as you age, especially if you’re over 65. It can have serious consequences, including amputation. If you have pain in your hips, legs, thighs or butt, ask your doctor about PAD. Alrighty then!

It's not #BratSummer unless you're bumpin' the beat of “360” by Charli to remember the tempo for Hands-Only CPR. If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest. #NationofLifesavers #BRAT 💚

If your doctor has prescribed medication to help manage your type 2 diabetes, ask if the generics equivalent would be right for you. Generics have the same active ingredients and potency as originals and are FDA approved, but can cost significantly less. spr.ly/6012lrljg

Susan didn't think her shoulder pain and intense nausea were heart-related. But as she continued to feel worse, she remembered that when her father had a heart attack, he couldn't articulate what exactly was wrong, just that he felt terrible. spr.ly/6017lsjoB

Most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, but many of us don’t get nearly enough. 😩 💡 Tip: For better sleep, try setting an alarm for 1 hour before bedtime as a reminder to start your nighttime routine.

Wishing Queen guitarist Brian May the best as he recovers from a recent stroke. When he couldn’t use his arm -- a common sign of stroke – he called emergency services, exactly the right thing. Remember FAST: Face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, time to call 911.

If you have diabetes, you're twice as likely to have heart disease or a stroke than someone who doesn't. You can lower your risk by eating a healthy diet, moving more, managing weight and not smoking.
