Dimensions of Wellness

There are five main aspects of personal health: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual. In order to be considered "well," it is imperative for none of these areas to be neglected. Roger Williams University Health and Wellness Educators (HAWES) want to inform you of ways to maximize your personal wellness.

Physical

Exercise! Even walking 30 minutes a day three times a week will greatly improve your health. Eat Healthy. Avoid fried foods, soft drinks, processed meats, and sweets. Try to include 5 servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet everyday. Don't skip meals. Especially breakfast, it slows down your metabolic rate and can cause weight gain. Avoid heavy episodic drinking and drug use. No more than five drinks in one sitting for men and four for women. Don't play drinking games and space drinks over time alternating with a glass of water.

Get at least 6-8 hours of sleep every night.

Emotional

Try to maintain a positive attitude even when problems arise.

Discover your personal stress reliever. Manage your time wisely because it will help lower stress. Find someone that you trust who you can openly share your feelings with.

Need to talk? Go see your PEER, HAWE, or RA.

Seek professional help when you need it.

Smile even when you don't feel like it.

Social

Get involved. There are a variety of clubs and organized on campus; you're bound to find something that interests you.

Know who your best friends are.

Recognize when you are in an unhealthy relationship.

Balance your social life with your academic responsibility.

Spiritual

Find a quiet place and spend time there every day.

Contemplate the meaning of your life.

If you have a religion, study and practice it.

Spend time appreciating the natural world around you.

Intellectual

Keep abreast of current affairs.

Take your school work seriously and spend time in the library.

Seek academic help if you need it.

Become a life-long learner.

How long after taking Flomax Can I take Viagra?

Tell a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking medicines for erectile dysfunction (impotence) such as sildenafil, tadalafil or vardenafil, you may find that tamsulosin makes you feel dizzy or lightheaded. The doctor may tell you to leave a 6-hour gap between tamsulosin and medicines for erectile dysfunction.

Tamsulosin comes as slow-release tablets and capsules (also called modified release, prolonged release, MR or XL).

This means the medicine is released into your body gradually.

How much will I take?

The usual dose of tamsulosin for enlarged prostate and kidney stone is 400 micrograms, once a day. The word microgram is sometimes written with the Greek symbol μ followed by the letter g (μg). A microgram is 1,000 times smaller than a milligram (mg).

How to take it

Swallow your tamsulosin capsules or tablets whole with a glass of water.

Do not break, chew or crush them.

If you can, take tamsulosin in the morning, after breakfast or the first meal or snack of the day. This is so the highest levels of medicine are in your body during the day and gives you the most benefit when you are most likely trying to pee.

It's best to take it at about the same time each day.

What if I forget to take it?

If you miss a dose of tamsulosin, and you remember within 6 hours, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it's more than 6 hours, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time the next day. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you. You could also ask your pharmacist for advice on other ways to help you remember to take your medicine.

What if I take too much?

Taking too much tamsulosin can lead to a decrease in your blood pressure and an increase in your heart rate. You may feel drowsy, faint and lightheaded.
