When your thyroid hormone is low, it can make you feel tired, sad, gain weight, and have dry skin. This video explains how this tiny butterfly-shaped gland, called the thyroid, can make you feel this way when it's not working well. When it's not working right, your body slows down, which can make you feel weak, tired, constipated, cold, and more.
Headaches are pretty common and usually fade away with time or simple pain meds like Advil or Tylenol. But really bad or frequent headaches might mess with your daily life. Sometimes, trying to fix it yourself might not be the best idea, as they could signal something more serious.
Hypertension is often termed the silent killer because it has few symptoms but can cause fatal complications like heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
Carfentanil, a strong opioid, is mixing with drugs like heroin and cocaine, making them even more dangerous. This has led to a big increase in overdose deaths, becoming a public health emergency. Programs offering free naloxone kits and other options like methadone and Suboxone are trying to reduce the harm caused by carfentanil.
More Canadians are dying from overdoses than from car crashes and homicides combined. Because of this spike in overdoses, naloxone doesn't need a prescription in Ontario pharmacies for emergency opioid overdose use. Overdoses often happen with prescription meds at home where doctors or nurses aren't nearby. You can help someone having an opioid overdose even without special training.
