Emergency Insights: Your Resource for Urgent Care Awareness

As temperatures rise in Texas throughout May, insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and bees become more active. Knowing how to prevent and treat bites and stings can help you avoid complications.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to shine a spotlight on the importance of mental health and its connection to neurological well-being. For those living with neurological conditions, mental health challenges can be particularly prominent.

“Many neurological conditions are closely intertwined with mental health,” says Dr. Suprina Dorai. “Symptoms like chronic migraines, cognitive fog, and even mood changes can often be exacerbated by stress or anxiety.”

As the Texas heat starts ramping up in May, it's essential to be mindful of how high temperatures can impact cardiovascular health. With rising temperatures and higher humidity levels, heat can place extra stress on your heart, especially if you have pre-existing conditions like hypertension or heart disease.

"Heat can be particularly harsh on individuals with cardiovascular conditions," says Dr. Archit Gulati. "When the body is exposed to high temperatures, the heart works harder to keep you cool. This added stress can be risky for people with heart disease or high blood pressure."

As spring temperatures start climbing, it’s more important than ever to keep your body properly hydrated. Dehydration can sneak up on you during warmer days, especially when you’re spending more time outdoors or engaging in physical activities.

While spring brings beautiful blooms and pleasant weather, it also creates the perfect environment for certain illnesses to thrive. Knowing what to watch for can help you stay healthy and enjoy the season to its fullest.
