Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello There seems to be a direct relationship between a man's waist size and his chance of getting diabetes. If your waist size is more than 40 inches, consider doing something to reduce it. Nobody wants diabetes and this is another lifestyle choice that could prevent disease. Have you ever gotten up suddenly and felt dizzy? You probably experienced orthostatic hypotension when blood pressure drops quickly due to a change in physical positioning. It can be prevented by getting up slowly, sit for a minute or two then get up. Other ways to help: eat smaller, more frequent meals, drink 8 glasses of water per day and don't overexert in the morning. If you have a sleep disorder (untreated sleep apnea, insomnia) and drive a car, you might be at as great a risk as if you drink alcohol and drive. Sleep disorders can affect your concentration and judgment and make driving safely a problem. Don't take sleep disorders for granted. Seek professional help. Narcotics like morphine are an important part of the doctor's drug therapy to keep pain in control. The source of these drugs, opium, was first cultivated in Lower Mesopotamia in 3400 B.C. Back then it was called the "joy plant". Besides knowing about the older products in pharmacy and medicine, we work hard to keep current on all the new medications and therapies. Use our knowledge.
