Stress Caused My Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

In December 2022, I was walking back from the bathroom to my office when I felt a tug in my chest and an odd sensation — like I’d smeared Icy Hot on my heart. My initial reaction was that I might have a cold, or the flu or worse — Covid. I started having a hard time breathing, so I asked my husband, Mark, to drive me home. By the time Healthy

As told to Jacquelyne Froeber May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. How many days a year do you think you were tanning?” my oncologist asked me. I fidgeted in my seat. Should I tell him the truth? “Maybe 300,” I said rounding down. He nearly fell out of his chair. I didn’t blame him. I knew it was bad. In my defense, I didn’t even know the word melanoma when I was hitting the tanning booths hard in 2012. I Healthy

Is Hydrogen Water a Hoax?
Medically reviewed by Emily Callahan, MPH, RDN Contrary to popular belief, the most epic coupling of all time isn’t peanut butter and jelly. It’s not even peanut butter and chocolate.
