Do you protect your heart as well as you protect yourself against COVID-19? Although you're right to take precautions against viruses big and small, it's heart disease that remains the #1 cause of death in America. Dr. Monique May, a board-certified physician, and founder of Physician in the Kitchen, based in Charlotte, NC, helps her patients make sure they have the healthiest hearts possible. Read on for her free and essential 5-point plan for making sure yours is as healthy as it can be—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise. 1 Control the Risk Factors for Heart Disease That You Can Control Dr, May lists the factors you can control, and advises how to get a handle on them:"If you smoke, stop. If you have high blood pressure, work with your doctor to make sure your blood pressure remains < 120/80. If you have high cholesterol, discuss with your doctor ways to lower your bad cholesterol and raise your good cholesterol through diet, exercise, and medication. If you have diabetes, aim for a target HgbA1c of less than 6.5%. Try to maintain an ideal weight for your height. If you are obese (BMI >30), then try to lose at least 10% of your current weight. Speak with your doctor about the best way to achieve this." For the next four steps, read on. 2 Sleep Your Best "Get adequate amounts of sleep and reduce your stress levels as well," says Dr. May. She's right. "Researchers found that the risk of heart attack increased the further that people's habitual night sleep diverged from 6–9 hours. Individuals who slept 5 hours each night, for example, had a 52% higher risk of a first heart attack than those who slept 7–8 hours," reports Medical News Daily. 3 Reduce Your Stress It's almost a cliché out of a movie—some guy gets a stressful phone call with bad news and drops dead of a heart attack. But it can happen. And the wear and tear of constant stress can also hurt your heart, especially if you're a woman. "Women's hearts are affected by stress and depression more than men's," says the Mayo Clinic. "Depression makes it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow recommended treatment, so talk to your doctor if you're having symptoms of depression." 4 Eat a Diet Rich in Fruits and Vegetables May says to eat a diet "rich in fruits and vegetables. They contain antioxidants and plant chemicals that can prevent and reverse heart disease," says May. "Try to eat 5-13 servings per day, including nuts, grains, and seeds."RELATED: The Easiest Way to Avoid a Heart Attack, Say Doctors 5 Watch for Any Signs of a Heart Attack If you feel chest pain, weak or lightheaded, or pain in your jaw, neck, back, arms or shoulders, you may be having a heart attack. Also watch for shortness of breath while lying down. It can be described as having difficulty laying down and breathing simultaneously. "People with this condition often have to prop themselves up with pillows in order to sleep at night because when they lie flat they may feel like they are being suffocated or drowning," explains May. "If you are having to use two or more pillows to prop your head up so that you can breathe and lie down at the same time, it may be a sign that your heart is failing and you should see a doctor immediately."

Once you've been vaccinated against the coronavirus, you can act like everything is basically normal, and go where you want to go, right? Well…Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says not so fast. Cases are still too high. "Yesterday there were close to 80,000 new infections and we've been hanging around 60, 70, 75,000," he said on MSNBC. As for yourself, he says there are some places you shouldn't go even if they're open. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise. 1 Dr. Fauci Says Avoid Eating Indoors The CDC considers "on-site dining with indoor seating, where seating capacity is not reduced and tables not spaced at least 6 feet apart" to be the highest risk dining scenario. Fauci would agree. Since the pandemic started, he has ordered takeout and delivery only, calling restaurants a danger due to being possibly poorly ventilated, and you have to take your mask off to eat, thus spraying droplets. It "may take several months into the second half and beyond 2021," until you can eat in one safely again, he said in an interview with MSNBC. When asked on MSNBC Sunday night if it was safe to go out to eat indoors after vaccination, Dr. Fauci said flat out: "No, it's still not." 2 Dr. Fauci Says Avoid Congregate Gatherings Just because you're vaccinated doesn't mean you should enter a large crowd, take off your mask and feel safe. In fact, you might be endangering others. "A vaccine right now is not a substitute for the normal standard public health measures of wearing a mask, keeping your distance, avoiding congregate, crowded sections, and particularly indoors," Fauci says. "It's not a substitute. It compliments it only when you get the level of infection in society so low that it's no longer a public health threat." 3 Dr. Fauci Says Avoid Bars The CDC says: "The risk of COVID-19 spread increases in a restaurant or bar setting as interactions within 6 feet of others increase" and Fauci agrees. "Avoid bars," he has said bluntly. Most are indoors, you are likely to lose your inhibitions there, and thus forget to follow public health measures—not to mention, you can't drink a beer while wearing a mask.RELATED: This COVID Vaccine Has the Most Side Effects, Study Says 4 Dr. Fauci Says Use Caution in Houses of Worship "You always have to take into account what the dynamic of the outbreak is in your particular region," Dr. Fauci has said about religious gatherings. "Having said that, when you're dealing with a nationwide outbreak like we have right now, you've really got to take precautions…The people who are within 6, 10 feet of each other really need to" wear masks, he says.Churches should "limit the number of people, so that you don't have people in the pews right next to each other," he said. 5 How to Stay Healthy During the Pandemic Follow Fauci's fundamentals and help end this surge, no matter where you live—wear a face mask, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.
Blood clots have been reported in a small minority of people after receiving COVID-19 vaccines by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
The siblings are the best of friends.
The ceremony will take place on Saturday, April 17.
In a (perhaps temporary) blow to the fight against the coronavirus, the FDA and CDC just recommended the United States pause distribution of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine "out of an abundance of caution" as the agencies investigate links to blood clots. The US has taken the recommendation; if you have signed up to get a J&J vaccine for today, you will not be able to get one. Read on to see what you should do next—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise. 1 The FDA Says 6 Cases of a "Rare and Severe" Blood Clot Were Discovered Tweeted the FDA: "Today FDA and @CDCgov issued a statement regarding the Johnson&Johnson #COVID19 vaccine. We are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution.As of 4/12, 6.8m+ doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S. CDC&FDA are reviewing data involving 6 reported U.S. cases of a rare&severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the vaccine. Right now, these adverse events appear to be extremely rareTreatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered." Read on to see who was affected, and if it could happen to you. 2 Those Affected Were All Woman—and One Died, With Another in Critical Condition "All six recipients were women between the ages of 18 and 48," reports the New York Times. "One woman died and a second woman in Nebraska has been hospitalized in critical condition, the officials said. Nearly seven million people in the United States have received Johnson&Johnson shots so far, and roughly nine million more doses have been shipped out to the states, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." 3 The FDA Will Announce More at 10 am Today and the CDC Will Be Reviewing These Cases Says the FDA, which will be holding a press conference at 10 am: "CDC will convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on Wednesday to further review these cases and assess their potential significance. FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases.Until that process is complete, we are recommending this pause. This is important to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot." 4 The CDC Says Blood Clots in General are Not Uncommon Vaccine aside, "Blood clots can affect anyone, and blood clots can be prevented," says the CDC. "On average, one American dies of a blood clot every 6 minutes." What are they? "A blood clot in one of the large veins, usually in a person's leg or arm, is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. When a blood clot like this forms, it can partly or completely block the flow of blood through the vein. If a DVT is not treated, it can move or break off and travel to the lungs. A blood clot in the lung is called pulmonary embolism or PE, and can cause death and requires immediate medical attention."RELATED: This COVID Vaccine Has the Most Side Effects, Study Says 5 Know the Signs of a Blood Clot "Recognize the signs and symptoms, and normal blood clots can be safely treated," says the CDC:"DVT (Arm or Leg) – if you experience any of these, call your doctor as soon as possible.Swelling of your leg or armPain or tenderness not caused by an injurySkin that is warm to the touch, with swelling or painRedness of the skin, with swelling or painPE (Lung) – if you experience any of these, seek medical attention immediately.Difficulty breathingChest pain that worsens with a deep breathCoughing up bloodFaster than normal or irregular heartbeat"How concerned should you be, if you had the J&J vaccine or want one? That is unclear at this time. "It is common for regulators to investigate so-called 'safety signals' in new vaccines and other medical products. Very often, the signals prove not to be of concern," says the Times. "But the concerns about Johnson&Johnson's vaccine mirror concerns about AstraZeneca's, which European regulators began investigating last month after some recipients developed blood clots."

After getting your COVID-19 vaccine, you might feel something before you even leave the site—namely, the desire to tear off your mask and start your "normal" life again. But slow down. Right after getting the shot, you are not fully vaccinated or protected—it takes at least two weeks after your final dose to be so—and there are other things you should never do. Read on to see 5 things you should never do, counting down to #1—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Signs Your Illness is Actually Coronavirus in Disguise. 5 Don't Take These Medications After Vaccination Unless You're Sure It's OK, Says CDC "Talk to your doctor about taking over-the-counter medicine, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin, or antihistamines, for any pain and discomfort you may experience after getting vaccinated," says the CDC. "You can take these medications to relieve post-vaccination side effects if you have no other medical reasons that prevent you from taking these medications normally." 4 Don't Worry if You Feel This After Your Vaccine, Says CDC "After COVID-19 vaccination, you may have some side effects," says the CDC. "These are normal signs that your body is building protection. The side effects from COVID-19 vaccination, such as chills or tiredness, may affect your ability to do daily activities, and they should go away in a few days." They add: "Side effects after your second shot may be more intense than the ones you experienced after your first shot. These side effects are normal signs that your body is building protection and should go away within a few days." 3 Don't Hesitate to Contact Your Doctor if You Have the Following Side Effects, Says CDC "In most cases, discomfort from pain or fever is a normal sign that your body is building protection. Contact your doctor or healthcare provider:If the redness or tenderness where you got the shot gets worse after 24 hoursIf your side effects are worrying you or do not seem to be going away after a few days" 2 Don't Stop Following Public Safety Precautions, Says CDC "We're still learning how vaccines will affect the spread of COVID-19," says the CDC. "After you've been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you should keep taking precautions—like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces—in public places until we know more."RELATED: This COVID Vaccine Has the Most Side Effects, Study Says 1 Don't Leave the Vaccination Site Until After at Least 15 Minutes, Says CDC The CDC advises all people to wait at least 15 minutes at the vaccination site after getting vaccinated to remain under observation, to make sure you don't experience an allergic reaction. "Wait 30 minutes if you qualify for the following:History of an immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a vaccine or injectable therapyPeople with a contraindication to a different type of COVID-19 vaccine (for example, people with a contraindication to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines who receive Janssen viral vector vaccine should be observed for 30 minutes following Janssen vaccination).History of anaphylaxis due to any cause15 minutes: All other people."So with that in mind, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.
