🚨 Gout Raises Heart Attack Risk: What You Should Know ❤️🦶

At Lukner Medical Clinic in Pampa, we want to share something important: people with gout have a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Why can gout raise heart risk?

Gout isn’t just “a sore toe.” It happens when uric acid builds up and forms tiny crystals in the joints. This can cause painful gout flares (attacks).

During a flare, your body has high inflammation. Inflammation can:
• stress your heart
• irritate blood vessels
• raise blood pressure
• increase the chance of heart attack or stroke

Also, many people with gout also have high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, or extra weight—and those can also raise heart risk.

The good news: you can lower the risk ✅

Here are simple steps that help protect your heart and reduce gout flares:

1) Control uric acid long-term

If gout keeps coming back, or if you have kidney disease or very high uric acid, your provider may recommend a daily medicine to lower uric acid (urate-lowering therapy).

A common goal is a uric acid level below 6.0. Over time, this can help prevent flares and protect your joints. Fewer flares may also mean less stress on your heart.

2) Don’t stop gout medicine on your own

Stopping and starting can trigger more flares. If you have questions, call us; we’ll help.

3) Protect your kidneys

Kidney disease and gout often travel together. Healthier kidneys can help with uric acid control—and heart health too.

4) Heart-healthy habits that also help gout

• Drink plenty of water
• Limit sugary drinks (sweet tea and soda)
• Cut back on alcohol (especially beer)
• Limit organ meats and large amounts of red meat
• Choose more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins
• Work toward a healthy weight (small changes help)
• Move your body most days (walks count!)

5) Know your numbers

Ask about: blood pressure, cholesterol, A1c (blood sugar), kidney labs, and uric acid.

When to call us 📞

If you have gout and also have:
• chest pain or shortness of breath
• swelling in your legs
• frequent gout flares
• kidney disease
• very high uric acid
…please reach out. We can make a plan to lower flare risk and protect your heart.

We’re here for you, Pampa and the Texas Panhandle.

Is it a Vitamin… or a Hormone? ☀️🧬

Most people think of Vitamin D as just a nutrient for strong bones. But technically? It’s actually a prohormone—and it does so much more than build bone.

Recent data highlights that Vitamin D acts like a master key for your body, regulating hundreds of different processes.

Once activated by your liver and kidneys, this "sunshine hormone" gets to work:

🛡️ Strengthening your Immune System (crucial during flu season!)
🧠 Supporting Mood & Brain Health
💪 Regulating Muscle Function
🧬 Influencing Gene Expression throughout your body

Why does this matter right now?
Here in the Panhandle, as the days get shorter and we spend more time indoors, our natural Vitamin D production drops significantly. Deficiency doesn’t just mean weak bones It can look like low energy, "winter blues," or a sluggish immune response.

📉 If you have been feeling fatigued or just “off,” your Vitamin D levels might be the culprit.

We can check your levels with a simple lab test and get you on the right path to feeling your best.

Stay healthy, Pampa!

— Dr. Ralf B. Lukner

🤰 Expecting a Baby, But Feeling Queasy?

Here is What the Science Says.

"Morning sickness" doesn't always happen in the morning, and it can make a joyful time feel incredibly difficult. At Lukner Medical Clinic, we believe in treatments backed by reliable medical research data.

If you are struggling with nausea during pregnancy, here are three evidence-based options to discuss with your provider:

1. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 💊
This is often considered the first-line treatment. It has strong safety data regarding use in pregnancy and is effective for reducing mild to moderate nausea.
* Common Recommendation: 10–25 mg, 3 times daily.

2. Doxylamine + Vitamin B6 (Diclegis®, Bonjesta®) 👩‍⚕️
When Vitamin B6 alone isn't doing the trick, this combination is often the next step. It combines B6 with Doxylamine (an antihistamine also found in OTC Unisom SleepTabs).
* Note: This combination is FDA-approved specifically for treating nausea in pregnancy.

3. Ginger 🍵
For those looking for a natural approach, evidence supports using ginger for mild nausea.
* Options: Ginger capsules (250 mg, 3–4 times daily), ginger tea, or ginger chews.

We are here to help.

Every pregnancy is different. If nausea is preventing you from eating or drinking, please reach out to us.

🌿 From Pain to Peace: Healing is Possible 🌿

Sometimes the heaviest stories are the ones no one sees the quiet battles carried beneath a smile. At Lukner Medical Clinic, we’ve witnessed again and again how hope, science, and compassion can help rewrite those stories.

This is one of them. 💛

✨ Healing & Thriving: A Story of Transformation ✨

At Lukner Medical Clinic, we believe in the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassionate, evidence-based care to unlock healing.

While this story is fictional (we always honor client privacy), it reflects the real transformations we see in our work every day.

Meet “Sarah” 💫
“Sarah” came to us carrying the quiet, heavy burden of childhood trauma and the lingering impact of PTSD.

Work stress felt overwhelming every deadline brought waves of anxiety.

The beautiful chaos of motherhood sometimes tipped into panic, making it hard to stay present.

And friendships, though deeply wanted, were shadowed by fear of rejection and self-doubt.

For Sarah, the world often felt unpredictable… unsafe… exhausting.

A Path Toward Healing 🌱
Sarah began her therapeutic journey with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) a specialized, research-backed therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

In simple terms, EMDR allows the mind to heal itself just as the body knows how to recover from a physical wound.

Over time, Sarah began to notice subtle but powerful shifts.
The sharp edges of her past began to soften.
What once felt like an emotional landmine now felt manageable, distant, and safe to explore.

Step by Step, She Reclaimed Her Life 💪

She learned to:

• Rediscover confidence at work: Deadlines became tasks, not threats. Focus and energy returned.

• Find balance in motherhood: The everyday ups and downs felt less overwhelming, and moments of joy became easier to embrace.

• Build healthy, trusting connections: She learned to communicate openly, set boundaries, and nurture real friendships free from constant fear.

The Heart of Transformation ❤️
Sarah’s story reminds us that with the right guidance, healing is absolutely possible.
The pain of the past doesn’t have to define the future.

With time, care, and support, the empty spaces left by trauma can be filled with peace, confidence, and connection.

If you or someone you love is struggling with the echoes of trauma, please know this:

🌼 Hope and healing are within reach.
