Short-term strategies to deal with a panic attack

Read more about Short-term strategies to deal with a panic attack

Panic attacks can be overwhelming and frightening. They often come with symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating and a sense of impending doom. However, there are immediate steps you can take to manage a panic attack and long-term strategies to help reduce their frequency. Let’s start with short-term strategies.

Short-term strategies to handle a panic attack

When a panic attack hits, it can feel like it will never end. Here are some quick techniques to help you through the moment:

1. Deep breathing

Focus on taking slow, deep breaths. Inhale for four seconds, hold for four and exhale for four. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce anxiety.

2. Ground yourself

According to the Headington Institution, use the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. Name five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell and one you can taste. Grounding yourself in the present moment can help distract your mind from panic.

3. Repeat a calming phrase

Remind yourself that you are safe and that this will pass. Phrases like “This feeling is temporary” or “I am in control” can be soothing.

4. Use visualization

Imagine a peaceful place where you feel safe and calm. Visualizing yourself there can help shift your focus away from panic.

5. Stay where you are

If you feel the urge to flee, try to stay put. Removing yourself from the situation can sometimes reinforce panic, so work on calming yourself where you are.

If you have had a panic attack, please contact your doctor for thorough care.

How often should you wash bathroom towels?

Read more about How often should you wash bathroom towels?

The answer might surprise you.

Let’s talk towels. They’re the unsung heroes of your bathroom routine, drying you off day after day and giving you that cozy post-shower hug. But the big question is how often should you wash them?

If you’ve been riding the "I’ll wash it when it starts to smell" train, we’ve got news for you. There’s a recommended towel-washing schedule that’ll keep you and your towels fresh and clean. Spoiler, it’s more frequent than you figure.

Why it matters

You might think, "I’m clean when I use my towel, so why wash it so often?" Good question. Even though towels dry you off after a shower, they still collect dead skin cells, natural oils and moisture. And guess what loves moisture? Bacteria and mildew. The longer your towel stays damp, the more it becomes a breeding ground for the not-so-great stuff, like:

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA): According to the Centers for Disease Control, sharing personal items, such as a bath towel, may increase someone’s risk of contracting MRSA.

Escherichia Coli (E. Coli): Washing a towel every few uses may decrease the risk of getting sick with E. Coli.

Mold: A towel may retain mold if it doesn’t fully dry between uses.

According to the Cleaning Institute, experts suggest washing towels after every three to five uses. That means if you shower daily, your towel should hit the laundry every three to four days. This frequency helps prevent bacterial buildup and keeps things feeling and smelling fresh. Plus, it keeps that soft, fluffy feeling intact.

What about hand towels?

Hand towels get a lot more action than your bath towels. They’re used multiple times a day by multiple people, which means they’re prone to bacteria even quicker. Ideally, swap out your hand towels every one to two days. If you have guests over or kids who seem to forget how to use a towel properly, you might want to change them even more often.

Best practices for washing

Now that you know when to wash, let’s talk about how. First, don’t overload the washer. Towels need space to get thoroughly clean and cramming them in won’t do the trick. Wash them in warm water with a regular detergent and skip the fabric softener. While softener might sound like a good idea, it can make towels less absorbent over time. For that extra fluffiness, toss in a couple of dryer balls or clean tennis balls with your towels.

Special towels, special care

Do you have fancy towels you use for décor more than drying? Sure, you don’t have to wash those as often, but make sure they still get some regular love. Dust and moisture in the air can still collect on them, even if they’re just there to look pretty.

The bottom line

When it comes to towel hygiene, err on the side of washing more often. After all, your towel does a lot of hard work. Stick to a schedule of every three to four uses for bath towels and one to two days for hand towels, and you’ll stay fresh, dry and free of any unwanted bacteria or musty smells. So, the next time you're doing laundry, give those trusty towels the care they deserve, and you’ll thank yourself later.

Coshocton native values high-quality, local surgical care

Read more about Coshocton native values high-quality, local surgical care

Matt Colvin enjoys his active lifestyle, including spending time with his family, traveling to Cleveland Browns’ games and taking walks at Coshocton’s Lake Park.

When he became self-conscious about his umbilical hernia, he wanted to talk to a local physician who could help.

Matt called the Genesis Coshocton Medical Center. Following an appointment with David M. Barbara, M.D., a Fellowship-trained and Board-certified General Surgeon, Matt was relieved that his hernia procedure could be taken care of without leaving town.

“Everyone at Genesis was so welcoming and informative,” said Matt. “You can tell that they have careers they love.”

Hernia development

Umbilical hernias are caused by the thin layer of tissue surrounding the navel pushing through the weakened muscle opening near the bellybutton. When the umbilical cord opening closes after birth, sometimes the muscles in the abdomen don’t come together, leaving a small hole.

This opening often closes by the time a child is a few years old. But if it doesn’t close, the possibility of an umbilical hernia increases as we move and stretch our bodies throughout daily life.

Although common in young children, adults can develop umbilical hernias from frequent lifting and tightening of the abdominal muscles.

“Think of umbilical hernias as the result of the body’s way of remodeling,” said Dr. Barbara. “Every person has thinness in the umbilical region. The area is strong, but it gets more fragile over time.”

Timely care

As the superintendent of a local career center and an engaged member of the Coshocton community, it was important for Matt to receive effective and prompt treatment so he could return to his routine as soon as possible.

“I enjoyed meeting Dr. Barbara,” said Matt. “He took time to explain what he would do before, during and after the procedure.”

A small 1 ½ inch circular surgical mesh was used to repair Matt’s hernia.

Requiring only a 4-centimeter incision for placement, the abdominal wall grows into the outer side of the mesh material. The smooth silicone inner side easily bends without attaching to the intestine.

Speedy recovery

Dr. Barbara said the majority of umbilical hernia surgeries like Matt’s are completed as outpatient procedures

“Umbilical hernias are very fixable,” said Dr. Barbara. “Recovery is quick. Patients can return to their regular lives soon after surgery.”

Matt’s recovery included a few days of rest and a follow-up appointment with Dr. Barbara. He highly recommends the Genesis Coshocton Medical Center to his friends and family.

“I feel perfect. Having Genesis in Coshocton and what they have brought to the community has been great.” – Matt Colvin

Umbilical hernia symptoms

Not all hernias are visible and painful. While abdominal strain from lifting is a common sign of an umbilical hernia, watch for these symptoms and know when to talk to your doctor.

• Swelling near the bellybutton

• Redness or discoloration around the abdomen

• Chronic coughing

• Constipation or trouble urinating

• Fever

• Vomiting

Coordinated cancer care close to home

Read more about Coordinated cancer care close to home

Halle Schoener Randles had no symptoms of cancer. In fact, she wouldn’t have known about the critical care she needed if she hadn’t sought treatment for a kidney stone.

A concerning spot was found on Halle’s liver. Following a biopsy and PET scan, she was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in November 2023.

“You get nervous fast,” said Halle. “It’s intimidating to navigate when your head is spinning from the diagnosis.”

Neuroendocrine cancer is rare and can form in any part of the body. Tumors grow at varying rates. Some tumors result in extra hormones, while others don’t produce any hormones or enough hormones to result in symptoms.

Halle soon had surgery. Two 1-centimeter tumors were removed from her small intestine. Her gallbladder, appendix, half of her liver and over 3 feet of her small intestine were also removed. Her doctors estimated the tumors had been slowly growing over the last 7 to 10 years.

The road to recovery

Following surgery, Halle began treatment at the Genesis Cancer Care Center with Scott Wegner, M.D., Fellowship-trained and Board-certified Hematologist/Oncologist and Chief Medical Officer, and Andrew Espenlaub, D.O., Fellowship-trained and Board-certified Palliative Care Specialist.

Halle’s treatment plan did not require chemotherapy or radiation. However, when she learned that palliative care was recommended, she was concerned that palliative care meant the same as hospice.

“Palliative care differs from hospice as hospice is for patients with less than six months of life,” said Dr. Espenlaub. “Palliative care can help manage pain after major surgery for patients like Halle.”

Multiple doctors work together in palliative care to treat patients with symptoms of long-term illnesses. Palliative care involves physical and emotional treatment, including options for medication management, counseling, and social and spiritual support.

“The Genesis doctors answered all my questions,” said Halle. “Everyone was encouraging and supportive.”

Local treatment

Halle values the coordinated treatment she has received from the Genesis Cancer Care Center. She currently has check-ups every three months, which include a CT scan and meetings with Drs. Wegner and Espenlaub. Halle also receives monthly injections to manage hormones.

“I see everyone on my medical team during each visit,” said Halle. “You get personal care at Genesis.” – Halle Schoener Randles

Dr. Espenlaub said the oncology and palliative care teams have a close relationship. “We try to see patients the same day,” said Dr. Espenlaub. “We were one of the first programs in the state to have an embedded palliative care program in our Cancer Care Center.”

Halle appreciates that her appointments are completed within a few hours. “Genesis is a mile from my home,” said Halle. “It’s wonderful that I only need to take a half-day off work for treatment.”

A positive outlook

Dr. Espenlaub says listening to patients throughout their treatment is an important part of healing. “Genesis is a personal experience,” said Dr. Espenlaub. “Patients realize we care and they’re part of a family.”

As a proud middle school principal, Halle said returning to work has also helped her recovery. She currently doesn’t have any evidence of cancer but is continuing monthly injections and ongoing check-ups.

Halle is thankful for the Genesis Cancer Care Center.

“To offer neuroendocrine cancer treatment in Southeastern Ohio is amazing,” said Halle. “I’m beyond grateful for the care I’ve received.”

• Working with your physicians to ensure you’re getting the best care.

• Providing emotional and spiritual support for you and your family.

Palliative care is available for these conditions:

• Advanced heart disease

• Advanced liver or kidney disease

• Advanced lung diseases

Seven tips for a heart-healthy life

Read more about Seven tips for a heart-healthy life

Heart disease is the biggest obstacle to a long life. Follow LiveWell and our social media for frequent tips that can prevent or delay heart disease.

Heart arrhythmias

Have you ever felt your heart racing? Or maybe you noticed your heart beating extremely slow or irregularly through a tracking device.

A heart arrhythmia is when an unusual beating pattern occurs. Not all heart arrhythmias are bad. Your heart will often beat faster when you are nervous, excited or have too much caffeine.

However, if you have an untreated heart arrhythmia caused by a heart malfunction, it can lead to severe problems, including stroke.

Tips to reduce risk factors

Some risk factors you can’t do anything about. People over 60 years of age, who have heart defects or have a family history of heart disease, are more likely to have a heart arrhythmia.

However, follow the tips below to reduce your other risk factors:

• Lower your blood pressure.

• Maintain a healthy cholesterol level.

• Eat a heart-healthy diet.

• Exercise for 150 minutes a week at a moderate aerobic level.

• Talk to your doctor about medications that might cause heart arrhythmias and discuss alternatives.

• Don’t use alcohol, tobacco or recreational drugs.

• Manage stress appropriately.

Symptoms

Having a symptom doesn’t mean you have a heart arrhythmia. If you have more than one, contact your doctor. Symptoms:

• Chest pain

• Dizziness

• Fainting or near fainting

• Fatigue

• Fluttering in the chest

• Racing or slow heartbeat

• Shortness of breath

• Sweating

Smart devices

In addition to watching for symptoms, multiple smart devices, including watches, can alert you to an irregular heartbeat. An article on the American Heart Association website references a study in which smartwatches and fitness trackers detected irregular heart rhythms and undiagnosed atrial fibrillation with 98% accuracy.

Keep your heart beating regularly

Most people can take action to avoid or prolong developing a heart arrhythmia. If you notice symptoms or your smart device notifies you that you have a concern, call for medical help immediately.

Choosing a good multivitamin

Read more about Choosing a good multivitamin

The National Institute of Health reports that one-third of adults in the United States take a multivitamin/mineral (MVM) supplement. Whether starting a new regimen or planning for a repeated purchase, it’s easy to wonder which multivitamin may be for you.

Adults take supplements for a variety of reasons, including:

Increased consumption of nutrients.

Improvement of overall health.

Cancer prevention and outcomes.

Prevention of chronic disease.

Pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Taken in conjunction with dieting.

Comparing options

Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t require the review of supplements, there are no regulations for the nutrients that need to be in them. As a result, many products are available to the public.

The NIH outlines three types of MVMs:

Basic: Taken once a day that includes “all or most vitamins and minerals” that do not surpass recommended daily nutrient levels.

High potency: These MVMs sometimes come in daily packs of two or more. They contain some vitamins and minerals that are higher than the recommended daily nutrient levels.

Specialized: Includes vitamins for “energy, enhanced athletic performance, weight control, improved immune function or eye health.” They are commonly combined with other vitamins and minerals with specialty ingredients that are much higher than the recommended daily nutrient levels.

The Nebraska Medicine University Health Center says that aside from price, there isn’t much variation between brand-name and generic over-the-counter supplements. A general multivitamin can be equally effective as gender or age-specific options. Pregnant women should take prenatal vitamins, which have more folic acid to help prevent birth defects.

Gummy vitamins have become popular supplement choices. Although tasty, be sure to review the label, as some contain around 20% of our daily sugar intake. According to Nebraska Medicine, go with the pill version when possible.

USP evaluation

Consider checking that your supplements are verified through the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). The USP symbol means that the manufacturer has voluntarily had their product evaluated to meet four quality standards:

Product includes the strength and amounts of ingredients that match the label.

Is void of harmful levels of contaminants.

Follows FDA Good Manufacturing Practices for safety.

Ingredients break down and dissolve within a specific timeframe so the body can absorb them.

Use these tips when choosing your next multivitamin. Remember that taking supplements should not replace eating healthy foods. It’s always good to talk with your doctor about which product is best for you.

Genesis Hospice Care builds for the future

Read more about Genesis Hospice Care builds for the future

For the past 35 years, the Genesis Hospice Care program has served thousands of families through the Morrison House, the region’s only dedicated inpatient hospice facility.

For anyone who has ever had a loved one at the Morrison House, you know the lasting impact this program has for families during the most difficult of times.

As a reflection of our commitment to providing you and your loved ones with exceptional care, Genesis Hospice Care received a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) based on family and caregiver experiences.

We are also the only hospice in our area with a dedicated inpatient facility, the Morrison House, to provide symptom management or respite care.

Morrison House opened in 1987 after the land was donated by Dr. Robert Morrison, a local physician. It was built by donations from the community and employees. It has served this community for over 35 years, providing a destination for families and patients to have comforting, compassionate, end-of-life care.

Morrison House is aging

The current Morrison House building has reached the very end of its useful life and must be replaced. We have decided to build a new replacement inpatient facility to serve our patients and families for decades to come.

We are committed to continuing to provide hospice services both at home and in a dedicated inpatient facility. The new building will be constructed on the greenspace across from the current Morrison House on Forest Avenue in Zanesville.

The building will have all private rooms with private bathrooms and access to the garden from each room. We plan to keep all current amenities, such as the Reflection Room, as well as some upgrades, such as larger patient rooms to accommodate family.

Making it possible

We are kicking off a $6 million capital campaign to raise the necessary funds to construct and equip the new facility. We are immensely grateful to the J.W. & M.H. Straker Charitable Foundation for its naming-level donation. Our thanks also go to the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity for their donation of the land.

Every donation, small or large, will help us reach our $6 million goal to make the new facility a reality. Donations can be pledged to pay over 5 years. Thank you for your support as we build for our community’s future.
