Health Tip of the Week

 

Facts About Atrial Fibrillation

 

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a heart condition where the upper chambers of the heart beat too rapidly and cause the lower chambers to pump the blood abnormally and ineffectively throughout the body.  If you notice the symptoms of AF (heart fluttering or pounding, fainting or dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety) you need to contact your physician - even if your symptoms go away.

 

Medication is most often prescribed to control heart rate and rhythm.  Whereas you generally don't die from an episode of AF, you can die from complications that result from having AF, such as stroke and heart failure. 

 

Sometimes AF symptoms are continual and occasionally the symptoms go away on their own.  I you experience AF, get regular checkups.

We have responded to several calls for "bonfires" lately. Many of those calls have been cooking fires. The rules regarding open burning for the City of Portland are strict. You cannot have an open fire within the City of Portland-but you may have a small cooking fire -within an 3' enclosed circle and no higher than 2'. You need to have a water source when you have a cooking fire and you MUST extinguish the fire before you leave the area. A 5 gallon bucket is ideal for this if you do not have a charged garden hose. Please be aware of the area where you may choose to have your cooking fire-there are several homes on back shore that have become the victim of smoke from these fires regardless of their size-even a small fire can make it unbearable on a warm summer night when they open up their windows to catch a breeze and fill up with smoke.

HAVING PASSENGERS "SITTING" IN THE BED OF A PICK UP TRUCK CAN BE A REASONABLE ACTIVITY (WHEN THE CAB IS FULL)

HAVING ONE OF YOUR PASSENGERS LAYING ACROSS THE TOOLBOX AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD IS NOT!!!
