Heatwave Warning for Med Users
Description
With scorching heatwaves hitting, millions on beta blockers and metformin face hidden dangers: these meds can impair your body’s cooling ability, worsen dehydration, and mask heat symptoms. Beta blockers may spike heart risk in heat by 65%, while metformin can lead to kidney or brain damage if ignored. Don’t stop meds—just watch for thirst, dizziness, dark urine. Seniors on these drugs need extra care. Check your meds or consult your pharmacist. The Met Office issued its most serious heat warning in four years—stay cool, hydrate, and heed your body’s signals.
