Holiday weekends are supposed to be fun.
Cookouts.
Family.
Music.
Travel.
Food.
Drinks.
Late nights.
But Dr. P Says…
your blood pressure does NOT clock out because it’s a holiday weekend.
Every summer in Queens and across New York City, emergency rooms see spikes in:
- Elevated blood pressure
- Dehydration
- Chest pain
- Stroke symptoms
- Heat exhaustion
- Blood sugar emergencies
And honestly?
Sometimes it starts with:
🚩 Too much sodium
🚩 Too much alcohol
🚩 Skipped medications
🚩 Not enough water
🚩 Heat + stress + exhaustion
Dr. P Says:
Please enjoy yourself…
but do not completely abandon your health in the process.
Especially if you already have:
✔️ High blood pressure
✔️ Diabetes
✔️ Heart disease
✔️ Kidney disease
✔️ Asthma
Dr. P’s Holiday Weekend Tips:
✔️ Stay hydrated
✔️ Take your medications
✔️ Pace yourself in the heat
✔️ Be mindful of alcohol intake
✔️ Do not ignore chest pain or dizziness
✔️ Get some actual rest
You deserve to enjoy the holiday AND protect your health at the same time.
