Not All Heart Attacks Start with Chest Pain: Quick Actions to Take

Heart attacks can present with signs beyond chest pain, including indigestion, fatigue, shortness of breath, or a general sense of being unwell. If you suspect a heart attack, call 911 immediately, avoid driving, and have emergency responders assess and treat you en route. If available, chew a full 325 mg aspirin to help dissolve clots. Be an active self-advocate if care seems delayed, and remember that prevention—healthy eating, regular exercise, blood pressure and cholesterol control—remains essential to reduce risk.

NYC Faces Surge in 'Super Flu' Cases Amid Changing Symptoms and Rising Trends

A new highly contagious flu strain called A/H3, dubbed 'super flu,' is causing the highest infection rates in 25 years in the U.S., particularly in NYC, with symptoms including cough, sore throat, and vomiting, especially in children. The strain shows some resistance to the current vaccine, and vaccination rates are low, increasing vulnerability. Hospitalizations are rising, and severe complications, especially in children, are a concern. Experts emphasize the importance of vaccination and early antiviral treatment.

Understanding Norovirus: Symptoms, Transmission, and Prevention

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus causing gastroenteritis, with symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea, peaking in winter. It spreads mainly through fecal-oral contact and contaminated surfaces, and is difficult to prevent due to its many strains and mutations. Good hand hygiene, surface disinfection, and avoiding shared food are key prevention measures. Most people recover within a few days, but high-risk groups should seek medical care to prevent severe dehydration. There is no vaccine yet, so vigilance and hygiene are essential.

Adenovirus: The Contagious, Untreatable Illness Spreading Globally

Adenovirus is a highly contagious virus causing cold-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and cough, which can last up to two weeks. It spreads through respiratory droplets, contact with contaminated surfaces, and the fecal-oral route. While most infections are mild and self-limiting, it can cause severe illness in immunocompromised individuals. Preventative measures include good hygiene, disinfecting surfaces, and avoiding close contact with infected persons. Treatment mainly involves symptom relief, as antibiotics are ineffective against viruses.

Global Spread of New Untreatable Virus with Flu and Covid-like Symptoms

Adenovirus, a highly contagious and more resilient virus than Covid and flu, is spreading rapidly with symptoms like sore throat, runny nose, and shortness of breath. It is untreatable with common disinfectants, and most cases are mild, but vulnerable groups should monitor symptoms closely, especially if fever exceeds 40°C or persists beyond three days. The rise in cases may be linked to fewer flu vaccinations and previous flu surges.
