Heatwave Warning for Med Patients

Heatwave Warning for Med Patients

Published 1 day, 1 hour ago
Description

With scorching heatwaves hitting places like Wales—where temps could soar past 30°C—millions on blood pressure meds like beta blockers or diuretics need to take extra precautions. These drugs can impair your body’s natural cooling mechanisms, making heat exhaustion more likely and straining your heart, lungs, and kidneys. Stay safe by hydrating well, avoiding direct sun, wearing a hat, and monitoring your blood pressure. If you feel dizzy, confused, or notice a racing pulse, seek medical help immediately. This isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a serious health risk for those on certain meds.
