Are spring showers triggering your migraines? You’re not alone. As many as one in three people with chronic migraines say that weather changes affect their symptoms.
For some people, weather changes can cause imbalances in brain chemicals like serotonin, that can bring on a migraine. Changes in barometric pressure and windy or stormy weather can also be triggers.
For many, spring weather can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Pollen is a common trigger, but did you know that asthma symptoms can also be triggered by temperature changes, insect repellants and yard fertilizers?
Now is a great time to check the expiry date of your inhalers—or if you can’t find them, call the pharmacy to request a refill.
If you have questions or any concerns about your mental health, talk to our pharmacist.

If you celebrate Easter (or just like to enjoy all the extra sweet treats on the store shelves), you’ll probably find yourself nibbling on some chocolate eggs and other festive treats. It’s okay to indulge now and then, but regularly consuming an excess of sweetened foods and beverages can have a negative impact on the health of you and your family.
If you are concerned about your sugar intake, or have other questions about maintaining a healthy, well-balanced diet, be sure to stop by and talk to our pharmacist.
The pharmacy team wishes a great holiday weekend!

• Using a humidifier to add moisture to your bedroom
