Could information overload be keeping your nervous system on constant alert? Dr. Chi-Ming Chow examines helicopter brain, its physical symptoms, and ways to interrupt patterns of stress and anxiety. Also covered: rising heart failure among adults under 65, with an estimated 56 million people affected worldwide in 2023, planned surgery for an early-stage lung nodule, climate liability, and colonoscopy follow-up.
Key Points
- Information overload can keep the nervous system in a constant state of alert, causing symptoms like headaches, fatigue, sleep problems, dizziness, and gastrointestinal distress.
- Heart failure is rising, especially in adults under 65, making early control of blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, sleep apnea, and other cardiovascular risks more important than ever.
- After a positive stool test for colorectal cancer screening, patient navigation, reminders, and automated referral systems can meaningfully improve colonoscopy follow-through, though completion rates still fall short of the target.
