For women with epilepsy (WWE) who are breastfeeding, the decision balances the benefits of nursing with the generally low level of anti-seizure medication (ASM) exposure in breast milk, which is considered safe for most. A collaborative healthcare team must optimize ASMs to maintain seizure control while minimizing infant risk; mothers may be advised to take medications immediately after feeding to reduce peak drug concentration, and the baby should be monitored.

Given that the postpartum period and sleep deprivation increase seizure risk, new mothers must prioritize uninterrupted sleep.

Women With Epilepsy (WWE) experience distinct challenges influenced by hormonal changes throughout life, affecting seizure frequency, Severity, and medication efficacy (including hormonal OCPs). Preconception planning with specialized medical teams is essential for optimizing anti-seizure medications (ASMs) and supplementing with folic acid before pregnancy.
However, mothers must prioritize uninterrupted sleep to prevent postpartum seizures and adhere to strict safety precautions.

Manage Your Tension-Type Headache at the Office:
[Take a Micro-Break].

When we say "work-stress headache," the most likely diagnosis is a Tension-Type Headache (TTH). It is the most common type of headache globally—with around two billion people living with it, and where stress is its primary trigger.

That tight, band-like pressure around your head is often a direct result of your muscles clenching in response to stress. Taking a Five-Minute MICRO-BREAK to step away and close your eyes is a direct counter-attack that helps your clenched jaw and tight shoulder muscles to relax and gives your overworked brain a moment of quiet. The simplest act interrupts the stress-headache cycle, dialing down the tension before the pain can build up.

Step away from Your Desk.
Close Your Eyes for Five Minutes.

বিশ্ব স্ট্রোক দিবস,
সারা পৃথিবীতে, বিভিন্নভাবে পালিত হচ্ছে,
একেক দেশে একেক রকমভাবে,

EVERY M1MUTE COUNTS.
স্ট্রোকের সময় প্রতিটি মিনিটই জীবন-মৃত্যুর প্রশ্ন।
প্রতি মিনিটে পরিবর্তন আনা যায়—জীবন বাঁচানো যায়।

LEARN THE SIGNS OF STROKE TODAY.
CHANGE A LIFE TOMORROW.
আজ স্ট্রোকের লক্ষণ শেখা মানেই আগামীকাল একটি জীবন রক্ষার সুযোগ তৈরি করা।

Time is not just BRAIN; It is Someone You Love.
It is not just about rescuing Brain cells — it is about saving someone’s Father, Mother, Friend, or loved one.

SEE STROKE.. ACTFAST. STAR THE CHAIN THAT SAVES LIVES.

2 out of every 3 stroke survivors live with long-
lasting complications or disabilities.

স্ট্রোক হলে প্রতিটা মিনিট মূল্যবান, যদি খুব দ্রুত স্ট্রোকের চিকিৎসা আরম্ভ না করা হয়- তাহলে প্রতি মিনিটে ১.৯ মিলিয়ন ব্রেইন কোষ মারা যাই! মস্তিষ্কের কোনো একটা অংশে হটাৎ করে রক্ত চলাচল বন্ধ হয়ে গেলে- মস্তিষ্কের কোষের কাজ বন্ধ হয়ে যাই, এবং মস্তিষ্কের কোষ মারা যাই.

মস্তিষ্কের এই ক্ষতির ফলে একজন মানুষ : কথা বলার/ কথা বোঝার অসুবিধা হবে, চলাচলে অসুবিধা/ এমনকি কেউ কেউ হাটতে নাও পারে, খাবার খেতে/ পানি গিলতে অসুবিধা হবে, এমনকি প্রাত্যহিক সব কাজেই অসুবিধা হতে পারে, অন্য জনের সাহায্য ছাড়া কিছুই করা যাই না, দ্রুত, খুব দ্রুত চিকিৎসা, মস্তিষ্কের কোষের মরে যাওয়া কমাবে- তাতে দীর্ঘ স্থায়ী সমস্যাগুলো অনেকাংশে কম হবে

There is no safe form of To***co.

Smoking—including ci******es, ci**rs, pipes, and shisha—delivers harmful chemicals that cause both immediate and long-term damage. These toxins severely harm the heart and blood vessels, dramatically increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease. They also cause lung cancer, emphysema, and many other cancers.

The negative health impacts extend beyond the individual; secondhand smoke poses a serious risk to those around to***co users, including family members.

Quitting is one of the most powerful actions
an individual can take for their health. Doing so alone is often difficult and discouraging; however, effective support through counseling, ni****ne replacement therapies such as patches or gum, and prescription medications can ease the journey of quitting to***co.
