Sunburns and Skin Cancer

School is out. The weather is hot and the sun is shining. Time for that family vacation. So why not soak up some rays at the beach? Sunlight is a great source of Vitamin D and can be beneficial for your body, but too much of it can be dangerous, especially if you have fair skin or are prone to sunburns. How much sun is too much? And when should you be concerned about sunburns or getting screened for skin cancer.

Common signs of overexposure to the sun include:

  • Blistering
  • Burning or irritation in the affected area
  • Peeling skin
  • Bright and constantly red skin

While minor sunburns can be easily treated by an over-the-counter ointment, you should monitor your sunburn and take care of it while healing. If you’re allergic to foreign chemicals and medicines, you can use aloe vera which can help reduce the irritation to a great extent. Also, cool baths are a great way to soothe your burnt skin, and cold compresses work too.

You should immediately contact your doctor or go to the ER if have the following signs or symptoms with your sunburn:

  • Dehydration
  • Fever
  • Vision problems
  • Severe pain or burning sensation
  • Infection in the blisters
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Confusion
  • Swelling

Too much exposure to the sun can even lead to medical conditions like cancer. With the changing climate, the sun’s impact on your skin can also change, thus you should always consult a doctor for any kind of skin condition before it gets worse and leads to cancerous results. Melanoma can spread to other parts of your body. Although many melanomas develop in areas exposed to the sun, they may also develop in areas that are usually hidden from the sun. In addition to examining the legs, trunk, arms, face, and neck, it is important to look at the areas between the toes, underneath fingernails and toenails, on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the genitals, and even the eyes.

According to the American Cancer Society, the ABCDE rule is another guide to the usual signs of melanoma. Be on the lookout and tell your doctor about spots that have any of the following features:

  • A is for Asymmetry: One half of a mole or birthmark does not match the other.
  • B is for Border: The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred.
  • C is for Color: The color is not the same all over and may include different shades of brown or black, or sometimes with patches of pink, red, white, or blue.
  • D is for Diameter: The spot is larger than 6 millimeters across (about ¼ inch – the size of a pencil eraser), although melanomas can sometimes be smaller than this.
  • E is for Evolving: The mole is changing in size, shape, or color.

Some melanomas don’t fit these rules, so it’s important to tell your doctor about any changes or new spots on the skin, or growths that look different from the rest of your moles.

 

 

 

Other warning signs of skin cancer are:

  • A sore that doesn’t heal
  • The spread of pigment from the border of a spot into the surrounding skin
  • Redness or a new swelling beyond the border of the mole
  • Change in sensation, such as itchiness, tenderness, or pain
  • Change in the surface of a mole – scaliness, oozing, bleeding, or the appearance of a lump or bump

Remember to always use sunscreen while going out in the sun to save yourself from possible dangerous effects. We recommend a minimum of 30 SPF on all exposed skin as well as your lips, ears, feet, and scalp. Remember that SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays, and SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays.

A dangerous sunburn can ruin your summer as well as your health. So, take care of your skin this summer.

Are You Stressed Out?

April 16, 2019, is National Stress Awareness Day. In fact, the whole month of April is National Stress Awareness Month. Why do you ask? Well for one, taxes are due in April… coincidence or not?!

Whether it’s rushing to finish your taxes or dealing with stresses such as your job, traffic, kids, or whatever else, it’s beneficial to relieve stress as often as possible.

  • Laughing
  • Relaxing alone or with family and friends

Figuring It Out

It may help to identify the root of your stress and either avoid it, learn to work around it, or to minimize it. Seeing a counselor or therapist may help you identify these stressors and teach you coping skills. Remember that you have the power to shape your life and control your reaction to others and situations. There is only one YOU and YOU need to take care of YOU.

Per mayoclinic.org, stress that’s left unchecked can contribute to many health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. It can also be in direct correlation with heart disease and depression and can affect your immune system. If you experience chest pain, especially if you also have shortness of breath, jaw or back pain, pain radiating into your shoulder and arm, sweating, dizziness, or nausea, seek emergency medical attention immediately. These may be warning signs of a heart attack and not simply stress symptoms.

So, for National Stress Awareness Day, we say RELAX and enjoy yourself. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Take everything with a grain of salt. Let it roll off your back. Wise old sayings that still ring true today. Especially in this fast-paced world in which we live.

Stay calm and carry on.

Reasons Kids Are Admitted to the Emergency Room

April 10, 2019

75% of kids’ visits to the ER happen after traditional hours. When your child is injured or sick, it’s natural to panic and go straight to the emergency room. The reasons why kids go to the emergency room range far and wide.

Head Injuries

Whether it is from falling off of their bike or scooter. Children taken to the emergency room are there for trauma-related injuries. Even though wearing adequate head protection can help to prevent these types of injuries, head trauma can still occur.

Sprains and Broken Bones

Musculoskeletal injuries, which include everything from ankle sprains to broken bones. These can happen from a variety of different accidents, such as falling from playground equipment or falling off a bike. The first thought may be to take a child with a broken bone to the local urgent care. It’s best to take them to the ER!

Respiratory Problems

Asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia are the most common respiratory problems that bring kids to the emergency room. Appropriately managing asthma is the best way to avoid a trip to the emergency room. If your child has asthma and can breathe without difficulty after using an inhaler, a visit to urgent care may be sufficient. However, if your child is struggling to breathe after using a rescue inhaler, their skin and/or lips are blue, or they are less active than usual after an attack, they should be seen in the emergency room.

Fever and Infections

It can be extremely scary not being able to control your child’s fever and the fear generally increases when a fever is accompanied by stiff joints, a rash, and/or difficulty breathing. Children can generally handle a higher fever than adults, but if your child’s temperature is 102, a trip to the emergency room is necessary. An infection or the flu can both raise a child’s temperature. If you suspect a serious infection, contact your doctor if possible to make sure an ER visit is best.

Digestive Disorders

Furthermore, diarrhea, vomiting, and/or stomach pains are also common reasons for children to visit the emergency room. If they are suffering from severe stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. It’s best to make a trip to the ER immediately.

If you aren’t sure if an ER visit is necessary, its best to contact your pediatrician first to make sure you should go to the ER instead of the doctor’s office. Depending on the symptoms, your doctor may recommend that you make an office appointment instead of going to the emergency room. But if you need us, Surepoint Emergency Center is here.

Allergies develop when your body reacts to a foreign substance called an allergen. These allergens can be something you breathe, touch, or taste. You could have symptoms like itchy or watery eyes, a scratchy or itchy throat, or a runny or stuffy nose. With a more severe allergic reaction, you could have hives, rashes, trouble breathing, or even death. There are over the counter medications, home remedies, and natural products that could help ease allergy symptoms. Use what works best for you and your family. Those with severe allergies may carry a dose of injectable epinephrine with them in case of an emergency.

What is a Stroke?

Uniquely, a stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery, or a blood vessel breaks and interrupts blood flow to the brain, causing cells in your brain to die. Furthermore, it can cause difficulties in speech, movement, and memory. In addition, strokes may cause death. According to the CDC, stroke is the 5th leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States. Therefore about 795,000 people in the US have a stroke each year.

Time to Spring Forward – How Time Change Affects Your Health

time change, clock
March 7, 2019

Time Change

Sunday, November 1, marks the beginning of Daylight-Saving Time in Texas, and unlike the transition in November when the clocks fall back an hour, in March you will lose an extra hour of time, as well as sleep. Although it’s only an hour, it can have a serious disruption on your body clock (the circadian rhythm). Here are a few ways the time change may affect your health.

Quality of Sleep

People naturally stay up late when the clocks turn back in November, thinking they will get an extra hour of sleep. But it eventually catches up with them because they are staying up later and sleeping less. So, when the time moves forward in the Spring and you lose an hour, you may struggle with an even greater decline in your sleep. For many people, this additional loss of sleep can affect their motor skills, leading to an increase in traffic accidents and more workplace injuries.

Triggers Depression

Daylight changes make some people susceptible to seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It is important to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing the symptoms of SAD, which may include fatigue, loss of interest in activities, change in appetite, and/or unhappiness. Other than SAD, time changes can trigger bipolar disorder and a variety of other mental illnesses. The symptoms of depression may include sleeping more than usual, change in appetite (eating more or less than usual), avoiding social activities, and not participating in the things you previously enjoyed.

Higher Risk of Heart Attacks

There is a significant connection between sleep and heart attacks. Studies have shown that there is an increase in heart attacks by about 5 percent, three days following the time change. Although there is no definitive reason why this occurs, it is thought that it’s due to the lack of sleep and a disruption of the chronobiological rhythms. Symptoms of a heart attack may include:

  • Tightness, pain, pressure, or an aching or squeezing feeling in your chest
  • Shortness of breath
  • Indigestion, nausea, heartburn, or abdominal pain
  • Fatigue
  • Cold sweat
  • Sudden dizziness or lightheaded

If you feel you are having a heart attack call 9-1-1 immediately.

Prepare Yourself

There are a few things you can do that may help you manage the effects of the time change:

  • Expose yourself to plenty of daylight when possible
  • Exercise later in the evening to help with circulation
  • Go to bed an hour early every night during the week leading up to the time change
  • Take naps when you can after the time change to catch up and give your body extra time to rejuvenate
  • Take vitamin C and D for energy and to help build your immune system
  • Eat well-balanced meals for proper nutrition and energy

If you have any questions or concerns about health-related problems that may be the result of the time change, visit Surepoint Emergency Center. We can treat cardiac issues, as well as injuries due to fatigue.

So if you have finished reading this, turn your phone off and go to bed. Sweet dreams.

Spring Break Safety Tips

It’s almost that time of the year when millions of high school and college students are planning a long-time tradition, Spring Break. If you are planning a spring break trip, one of the most important things is safety. Here are a few tips to help you have a safe and enjoyable spring break.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

If you are of legal drinking age and you are planning to include drinking alcohol as part of your spring break, it is extremely important to keep in mind that alcohol can impair your actions and your judgment. Every 31 minutes someone dies in an alcohol-related motor vehicle crash and non-fatal injuries occur every two minutes as a result of these accidents. Our advice? Don’t drink and drive. There are plenty of tasty non-alcoholic alternatives, so choose your beverages with safety in mind.

Every 31 minutes someone dies in an alcohol related motor vehicle crash and non-fatal injuries occur every two minutes as a result of motor alcohol related accidents.

Protect Skin from the Sun

After a cold winter, it can be extremely tempting to stay out in the warm sun longer than you should. Although getting some sun can be beneficial for you, excessive and unprotected sun exposure can lead to changes in your skin texture, premature aging, and even skin cancer. Remember to always wear sunscreen and reapply after getting in and out of the water. The ideal sunscreen is one with an SPF of 25-50. Also, protect your eyes from the sun by wearing wrap-around sunglasses that provide 100% UV ray protection. Hats are always good especially if you have thinning hair.

Drink Water & Eat Healthily

It requires a lot of fuel and energy to have fun, so be sure to eat a variety of healthy foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables. It’s also recommended that you include lean meats, fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy products in your diet. Be sure to drink plenty of water and try to limit the amount of salt, sugar, and saturated fats. Dehydration can come on quickly when you are outdoors all day.

Get Moving

If you’re like most high school and college students, the winter months typically include a lot of sitting in class working on the computer, and studying, so during your spring break take an opportunity to start a fitness program. While you’re away, participate in a variety of fun activities, such as dancing, playing volleyball, swimming, and walking. Remember activity doesn’t have to be strenuous to be beneficial. Part of spring break safety is to avoid getting an injury, so start all-new activities slowly and try to include ones that help to increase your breathing and heart rate as well as strengthen your muscles.

Stay safe. Have fun. And carry on. And remember your Spring Break Safety Tips!

February Is National Heart Month – Women Take Heart

women, health, heart, attack
February 7, 2019
National Heart Month

It’s also the month for love and fluttering hearts everywhere. But is the fluttering a symptom of love, or something else? Did you know that heart disease is the number one killer of American women over the age of 34? Many women are not aware of the life-threatening risk that even the mildest symptoms may have. Show your heart some love.

Common Heart Problems that Affect Women

Heart disease, also known as CVD, refers to a wide range of problems that affect the heart. Heart disease includes: stroke, coronary artery disease, and vascular disease. The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease. Common heart problems that affect women include:

  • Atherosclerosis
  • Heart failure
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Heart valve disease
  • Chest pain and discomfort (angina) (affects women more than men). There are two specific types of angina: stable angina and variant angina.
  • Cardiac syndrome X (affects women more than men).
Symptoms of a Heart Attack in Women

The most common cause of a heart attack is coronary artery disease, which is due to a buildup of plaque on the walls of the arteries that supply your blood to the heart. Atherosclerosis is when the blood flow is blocked, the heart muscle begins to die, which leads to a heart attack. Women who are having a heart attack are more likely than men to be misdiagnosed, which means women are less likely to get the necessary treatment before serious damages to their heart occurs. It is extremely important to keep in mind that women are more likely to have nontraditional symptoms of a heart attack and women are also more likely to have a silent heart attack, which is an event that doesn’t cause any obvious symptoms, such as pain in the chest.

Heart attack symptoms of women may include:
  • Pain and/or discomfort in the center of the chest.
  • Indigestion
  • Pain in the neck, back, throat, or jaw
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Heartburn
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Difficulty breathing

Furthermore, there are measures you can take that may help to reduce your risk of having a heart attack, including getting screenings and checkups from a doctor, staying active, eating healthy. Getting to the ER as quickly as possible is essential because the treatments for opening clogged arteries work best when administered within the first hour after a heart attack begins.

Remember, it’s never too late to get healthy. Take care of your heart and leave the fluttering to love! National Heart Month!

Surepoint Emergency Center Supports National Healthy Weight Week. Follow These 5 Tips to Make It Successful.

running, exercise
January 22, 2019
National Healthy Weight Week

Rather than succumbing to despair, you can use the week to refocus your mind and pursue healthy weight goals. Of course, it always helps to have an arsenal of tips and tricks, so consider these to make it successful.

 

  1. Rethinking Calorie Counting Is Essential.

This time of year is when counting calories and focusing on weight loss tend to become lower priorities. Instead, manage portions by switching to a smaller plate. It may not seem important, but a smaller plate may help prevent overeating by tricking the mind into thinking, “I’ve finished my meal.” Also, slow down when eating. It’s better for your digestion as well.

  1. Accept Your Body Type and Set Realistic Goals.

Not everyone will lose 10+ pounds on the best and latest diet craze. Body types differ, and those with more muscle mass may not see the pounds melt away as fast. Accepting body type is key to setting realistic weight goals. Set two or three small goals. Each goal should be specific, realistic, and less than perfect says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  Instead of planning to lose 10 pounds in two weeks, focus on losing 10 pounds over a month – provided your physician approves of such weight loss.

 

  1. Get Moving.

Exercise can sound like a bad word when trying to lose weight, so focus on changing your lifestyle. Plan a walk outdoors or spend 15 extra minutes vacuuming while dancing to your favorite song. Take the stairs when you can or park a little farther out when going to the grocery store. Any type of movement helps to achieve a healthy weight.

  1. Eat Breakfast.

It’s not called, “the most important meal of the day,” for no reason. Eating breakfast can help prevent “over-hungry” feelings, therefore, breakfast may help prevent overeating in the afternoon or evening, asserts the CDC.

  1. Give Yourself a Pat on the Back.

Weight loss is hard. If it were easy, everyone would be fit, healthy, and at the perfect weight. Remember to take time for yourself. Treat yourself with kindness, and forgive yourself when you miss a goal.

Use National Healthy Weight Week to jump start your goal to a healthier year… but be careful.

Eating right and exercising is the goal, but safety ALWAYS comes first. Take your time and ease into new exercises. And of course, if any exercise or routine results in a serious fall or even a bone fracture, Surepoint Emergency Center is here to help.

What You Should Know About Heat Strokes and Heat Rashes

What You Should Know About Heat Strokes and Heat Rashes

Summer brings with it sunny, beach days, and nights full of crickets and warm breezes. But one thing you should be aware of in the summers is the possibility of temperatures rising, causing it to be really hot in your neighborhood or state and resulting in dangerous, almost life-threatening conditions. This is what you should know about heat strokes and heat rashes! Heatstroke, which is considered to be a serious medical condition. If not taken care of, heat strokes can be fatal. But sometimes, heat strokes are confused with other, less serious concerns – for example, heat rashes. Heat rashes are a serious condition, but less so than a heat stroke. Let’s find out what the difference is between the two:

Heat Stroke:

During a heat stroke, the temperature of their body increases to an alarming degree, up to 106 degrees Fahrenheit, or more. Because of the rapid rise in their body temp. The heatstroke can be fatal for a person as soon as symptoms appear.

The symptoms of heatstroke include hot and dry skin, high body temp, migraines, and loss of consciousness. The riskiest age group prone to get heat stroke are children and adults over the age of 60 to 65.

Heatstroke patients should be taken to the nearest doctor immediately, so as to avoid any complications.

Heat Rash:

Are much less severe than heat strokes, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Heat rash is also called miliaria or more commonly, prickly heat. Which causes the skin to sting or feel prickly due to overheating. Normally, hot and humid environments are places where heat rash occurs the most.

Symptoms of heat rash are finding itchy, red bumps on your skin, and a stinging sensation. These rashes are usually more of a nuisance not fatal, but they should be tended to before they spread. Furthermore, medical attention should be sought in case of an infection.

We hope this blog has helped you know more about heat-related medical conditions, like heat strokes and heat-related injuries. And that you can take better care of yourself or your family after getting to know about these symptoms and their roots.
