Know B.E. F.A.S.T. for stroke: Balance loss, Eye or vision change, Face droop, Arm weakness, Speech trouble, Time to call 911. Note when symptoms started. Don't drive yourself—call emergency services. Every minute counts. #Stroke

[PrimaryMD @PrimaryMD07m]

Heart attack symptoms are not always dramatic chest pain. Watch for pressure or discomfort in the chest, shortness of breath, pain in the arm, shoulder, jaw, neck or back, cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness. If you suspect a heart attack, call 911. #HeartAttack

A better home blood pressure reading: avoid food, caffeine, smoking, and exercise for 30 minutes. Sit quietly for 5 minutes, feet flat, back supported, arm at heart level, cuff on bare skin. Don't talk. Take 2 readings, 1–2 minutes apart. #Hypertension

Something I tell patients every week: high blood pressure almost never causes headaches, nosebleeds, or dizziness. Waiting to "feel it" is exactly how it silently damages your heart, kidneys, and brain for years. Don't wait for a symptom — check the number. #BloodPressure

Name one realistic activity that you can repeat this week.

[PrimaryMD @PrimaryMD07m]

Prediabetes is a chance to act—not a verdict. In the Diabetes Prevention Program, losing 5–7% of body weight and reaching at least 150 minutes of activity weekly reduced type 2 diabetes incidence by 58% in high-risk adults. Small steps count. #Prediabetes

Was A1c ever explained to you this simply?

[PrimaryMD @PrimaryMD07m]

A1C is a snapshot of your average blood sugar over about 3 months. General ranges: normal below 5.7%, prediabetes 5.7–6.4%, diabetes 6.5% or above. An abnormal result without clear symptoms usually needs confirmation.

[PrimaryMD @PrimaryMD07m]

More than 2 in 5 American adults have prediabetes. 8 in 10 don't know it. The good news: in a major trial, losing 5–7% of body weight plus 150 minutes of activity a week cut diabetes risk by 58%. Prediabetes isn't a verdict — it's a window.

@jonathanwstokes Nice work!

The speed of Tesla's Robotaxi expansion fascinates me. I'm not sure anyone is tracking the progress of all 18 cities in one place, so I compiled a chart this weekend in a fit of OCD...

New video reportedly shows the gunman who shot Charlie Kirk running on the rooftop.

HERE SHE IS.
