American Heart Month

Heart diseases, including stroke, is our nation's leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of disability.  To urge Americans to join the battle against these diseases, since 1963 Congress has required the president to proclaim February "American Heart Month." In support of American Heart month please WEAR RED on Sunday, February 12, 2012.

Almost 700,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. each year. That is about 29% of all U.S. deaths.  Heart disease is a term that includes several more specific heart conditions. The most common heart disease in the United States is coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attack. Other conditions that affect your heart or increase your risk of death or disability include arrhythmia (irregular heart rate), heart failure, and peripheral artery disease (partial or total blockage of an artery).  High cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, tobacco, family history, lack of physical activity, poor nutrition and secondhand smoke are also risk factors associated with heart disease.  Remember that many of these causes can be prevented!  Strive to keep your heart healthy while it works hard day and night to provide you with the essentials needed for daily activity. 

When blood supply to the heart is reduced or blocked, damage can occur including a heart attack.  Signs and symptoms of a heart attack include:

• Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or back

• Feeling weak, light-headed, or faint

• Chest pain or discomfort that lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back

• Pain or discomfort in arms or shoulder

• Shortness of breath

• Nausea

If you think that you or someone you know is having a heart attack, you should call 9–1–1 immediately. A person's chances of surviving a heart attack are increased if emergency treatment is given to the victim as soon as possible.  Remember these are hints to improve your life, always consult your physician for any and all medical questions.

Thank you,

Fannie W. Jones, Medical Ministry

Cervical Health Awareness Month 

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease. It infects 6.2 million men and women each year; 50% of all sexually active women will be infected with HPV in their lifetime. The most serious manifestation of HPV is cancer precursors, which can lead to cervical cancer in women. Cervical cancer is over 90% curable in women if caught early. The best defense against cervical cancer is regular pap screenings.

HPV is spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact and is most efficiently passed through sexual contact. Condom use can decrease the efficiency of transmission; however, they cannot offer complete protection from this particular STD because infection can occur on genital areas not covered by the condom.

HPV signs and symptoms:

• genital warts

• cellular abnormalities on the cervix through observation of a pap smear

Education is the key. Educate friends and loved ones about the risks associated with unprotected sex and teach abstinence.

Thank you,

Fannie W. Jones, Medical Ministry
