Welcome
to February & Winter Weather Countdown in Silver Spring! February
is known as Black History Month and American Heart Month but this year, we’re
starting the month preparing for more winter weather! Last week, many residents of Silver Spring
lost power during the snow storm and several residents were stuck on the
roads during the commute home. This
time, be prepared! Go to SilverSpringCenter.com for up-to-date
information on winter storms including street plowing, power outages, traffic
cameras, snow preparation, closings and more. Most
of all, be safe out there! Francene M. D.

Silver
Spring Health: American Heart Month |
||||
|
Cardiovascular
diseases, including stroke, are our nation's No. 1 killer. To urge Americans
to join the battle against these diseases, since 1963 Congress has required
the president to proclaim February "American Heart Month." The
American Heart Association works with the administration to draft and sign
this annual proclamation. |

Heart Attack Warning Signs Some heart attacks are sudden and intense — the
"movie heart attack," where no one doubts what's happening. But
most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people
affected aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here
are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening: ·
Chest discomfort. Most heart
attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a
few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable
pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
·
Discomfort in other areas of
the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms,
the back, neck, jaw or stomach. For more information on Heart Awareness, visit
