Live Longer: 20 Tips That May Save Your Life
Many people die prematurely just because of their own or another persons stupidity and carelessness. Here are some tips that may save your life one day based on my own personal experiences and observations of others. The first 10 tips are medical and the last 10 tips are general common sense.
1. Each time you go to the Doctor, read a print out of what medicines the Doctor has you taking. This is important because they may very easily omit a prescription written by a specialist that they did not prescribe. The end result is, if they are not aware you are taking a drug, you could have serious and life threatening side effects on any new prescription they write. Most pharmacies as far as I know, if they have all your prescriptions in their data base will catch this but why take a chance?
2. If you have any kind of chest pain, strain or tightening of the chest unless you know for certain it was caused by some direct sports activity, go straight to the emergency room of a hospital and stay overnight for observation. Do not go to Urgent Care as they will not as far as I know check you out for anything related to chest pain.
3. If your urine is a pink or reddish color or any other unusual color, I would go to your Doctor or Urgent Care that day.
4. Get Health insurance.
5. If you have a bad cold or cough, etc., go to your Doctor or Urgent Care right away.
6. If you have high blood pressure, go to your doctor and get a prescription for Blood Pressure medication right away and use it. Try not to eat items with a high sodium content.
7. Error on the side of caution and see your Doctor or go to Urgent Care right away rather than say your going to give something a few days to go away if its really bad, or isn’t going away.
8. Do not mix prescription drugs with alcohol.
9. Wash your hands and shower regularly.
10. Follow your prescriptions as written and do not stop taking them until your doctor tells you to.
11. Avoid getting into confrontations with people you don’t know even if you’re right. Being right won’t prevent someone from blowing your brains away.
12. Do not walk by yourself late at night in areas that aren’t heavily populated.
13. Try to avoid going into bad areas at all costs. Do not go into these areas alone.
14. If someone stops you late at night and asks you for money, have a loose $5 bill in your pocket ready and give it to them without looking up and just keep walking. Do not say no and do not lecture the person.
15. If a woman you’re attracted too, has a thug for a boyfriend, forget about her.
16. Do not start smoking or go out with someone who smokes.
17. Do not drink and drive.
18. Try to get a decent night’s sleep because the less sleep you have, the more susceptible you are to catching something.
19. If someone is robbing you, do not resist. If someone is robbing a store, do not play hero.
20. Always carry a cell phone on you for emergencies.
