sudden weakness, swelling in one leg, severe headache, vision changes, or a new irregular heartbeat.
What seniors should do
Do not stop prescribed medication suddenly. Instead, bring a full medication list to your doctor or pharmacist and ask for a review. Mention any swelling, fatigue, dizziness, breathing changes, or heart rhythm symptoms. A small adjustment made safely by a professional can sometimes make a big difference.
Awareness is not about fear. It is about protecting your heart, asking better questions, and making sure every medicine you take is still helping more than it harms.
