## Resource

With scorching temperatures expected—especially in Wales, hitting up to 38°C—millions on high blood pressure meds are being warned: your medication might be working against you in the heat. Beta-blockers and diuretics, commonly prescribed for hypertension and heart conditions, can impair your body’s ability to cool down, putting extra strain on your heart. With over 50 million beta-blocker prescriptions issued annually, this is a serious concern for millions. Experts urge extra hydration, avoiding direct sun, wearing hats, and monitoring blood pressure closely. If you experience extreme fatigue, confusion, rapid pulse, or nausea, seek help immediately. Also, those using GTN spray for angina must be extra cautious, as heat can trigger dangerous drops in blood pressure. Recognize heat stroke symptoms—sweating, clammy skin, dizziness, vomiting—and act fast. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
