🔎 SKIN CHECKS: KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Your skin can change over time, but knowing what to look out for can help you recognise when something deserves a closer look.

When checking your skin, pay attention to:

🔹 Moles that change in size, shape or colour
🔹 Irregular or blurred borders
🔹 Moles that itch, bleed or crust
🔹 New growths, spots or marks
🔹 Lesions that appear suddenly or continue to grow
🔹 Areas that don't heal
🔹 Persistent itching, pain or bleeding

Not every change means something is wrong, but new, unusual or persistent changes shouldn't be ignored.

Regularly becoming familiar with your skin can make it easier to notice when something has changed.

🩺 Concerned about a mole, lesion or unusual skin change? Book a consultation with Dr. Esti-Mari Knipe & Associates to have it professionally assessed.

🏥 EMERGENCY ROOM OR YOUR GP?

When you're unwell or injured, knowing where to seek medical care isn't always obvious. Understanding the difference can help you get the right level of care when you need it.

🩺 When to see your GP

Your GP is often the right starting point for non-life-threatening concerns, including:

• Persistent cold or flu symptoms
• Minor infections
• Rashes and skin concerns
• Ongoing headaches
• Minor injuries
• Unexplained fatigue
• Routine health concerns and check-ups

🚨 When to seek emergency medical care

Some symptoms require urgent attention and should not wait for a GP appointment. These may include:

• Severe or persistent chest pain
• Severe difficulty breathing
• Signs of a stroke, such as sudden facial drooping, arm weakness or difficulty speaking
• Severe or uncontrolled bleeding
• Loss of consciousness
• Severe allergic reactions affecting breathing
• Serious head injuries
• Certain seizures

Not sure where to go? If you believe the situation may be serious or life-threatening, don't delay - seek emergency medical care immediately.

For non-emergency concerns, your GP can assess your symptoms, investigate the cause and recommend the appropriate treatment or next steps.

❤️ WHAT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE NUMBERS ACTUALLY MEAN

Have you ever had your blood pressure checked but weren't quite sure what the numbers meant?

A blood pressure reading is made up of two numbers, and each tells an important part of the story about your heart and circulatory health.

🩺 The top number (Systolic) measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart contracts and pumps blood around your body.

🩺 The bottom number (Diastolic) measures the pressure in your arteries while your heart relaxes between beats.

In general:

✅ Below 120/80 mmHg – Healthy blood pressure

🟡 120–129 / Below 80 – Elevated blood pressure. Healthy lifestyle changes may help reduce your risk of developing high blood pressure.

🟠 130–139 / 80–89 – High Blood Pressure (Stage 1). A medical assessment may be recommended.

🔴 140/90 mmHg or higher – High Blood Pressure. Further evaluation and treatment may be needed.

🚨 180/120 mmHg or higher – This may be a medical emergency and requires urgent medical attention.

High blood pressure often develops without noticeable symptoms, making regular health checks one of the best ways to detect it early and protect your long-term health.

Can vitamin supplements replace a healthy diet?

❌ Myth.

Vitamin supplements can be beneficial in certain situations and may be recommended by your healthcare provider to address specific deficiencies. However, they cannot replace the wide variety of nutrients, fibre and other beneficial compounds found in a balanced, nutritious diet.

For most people, healthy eating remains the foundation of good health, with supplements serving as an addition—not a substitute—when appropriate.

🥗 Aim for a diet rich in:
• Fruits and vegetables
• Whole grains
• Lean proteins
• Healthy fats

If you're unsure whether you need a vitamin supplement, speak to your healthcare provider before starting one.
