April is Oral, Head & Neck Cancer Awareness Month.
These cancers are often treatable when caught early. Knowing the signs and risk factors can save lives. Know the signs – don't ignore:
1.A sore that doesn't heal – any mouth sore lasting more than 2 weeks
2.Red or white patches – inside the mouth, on gums, or tongue
3.Lump or thickening – in the cheek, neck, or throat
4.Persistent sore throat or hoarseness
5.Difficulty chewing or swallowing
6.Numbness or pain in the mouth or lips

Risk factors
• To***co use (smoking, chewing)
• Heavy alcohol use
• HPV infection (human papillomavirus)
• Sun exposure (lip cancer)

HPV Testing at Crystal Lab:
HPV (human papillomavirus) is linked to a growing number of oral and throat cancers. A simple blood or swab test can detect highrisk HPV strains, helping you and your doctor understand your risk.

If you notice any of these signs, don't wait. Early detection saves lives.

When you are under chronic stress, your body stays in "fight or flight" mode. Over time, that takes a toll on your cardiovascular system.

How stress affects your heart
1.Raises blood pressure – Stress hormones make your heart beat faster and narrow blood vessels.
2.Increases cholesterol – Stress can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides.
3.Triggers inflammation – Chronic inflammation damages artery walls, leading to plaque buildu
4.Changes behaviors – Stress often leads to poor sleep, unhealthy eating, smoking, or less exercise – all heart risks.

Know your heart numbers
1.Blood Pressure– Should be below 120/80
2.Lipid Profile – Cholesterol levels
3.hsCRP– Measures hidden inflammation
4.ECG – Checks heart rhythm (if indicated)
Managing stress helps your heart. Simple steps like regular exercise, good sleep, and social connection make a difference.

This April, take a moment to check in with your heart

Chronic stress doesn't just affect your mood , it leaves a trail in your body. When you are under constant stress, your hormones, metabolism, heart, and immune system can all be impacted.
Lab tests can help uncover what's going on inside.

Key tests for stressrelated health:
1.Cortisol – Your primary stress hormone. Too high or too low can cause fatigue, anxiety, weight changes.
2.HbA1c – Measures average blood sugar over 3 months. Stress can raise blood sugar and increase diabetes risk.
3.Lipid Profile – Cholesterol and triglycerides. Stress raises "bad" cholesterol and heart disease risk.
4.Thyroid Panel – TSH, T3, T4. Chronic stress can disrupt thyroid function, leading to fatigue and weight issues.
5.Vitamin D – Low levels are linked to stress, depression, and poor immunity.
6.CRP (CReactive Protein) – A marker of inflammation. Chronic stress keeps inflammation high, harming your heart and joints.

Why test?
1.Understand what stress is doing to your body
2.Catch problems early
3.Guide lifestyle changes
4.Work with your doctor to find balance
This Stress Awareness Month, take a closer look at what your body is telling you.

Cortisol is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands. It helps you:
• Wake up in the morning
• Respond to stress (fight or flight)
• Regulate metabolism and blood sugar
• Control inflammation

When cortisol is balanced, you feel energetic, focused, and resilient.
When cortisol is too high (chronic stress):
-Anxiety, irritability
-Weight gain (especially belly fat)
- High blood pressure
-Sleep problems
-Weakened immune system

When cortisol is too low (adrenal fatigue):
-Constant fatigue
-Brain fog, poor memory
-Low blood pressure
-Frequent infections
-Depression

Testing cortisol, can help uncover hidden hormonal imbalances. A simple blood or saliva test can show whether your cortisol rhythm is healthy, and guide treatment if it's not.
This Stress Awareness Month, learn about the hormone that affects your mood, energy, and longterm health.
