ON ANOTHER MATTER …

What Your Doctor Needs to Know

Some researchers posit that we may be more honest with health apps on our phones than with our doctors. So be frank about these issues — even if your doc doesn’t ask.

You’ve been using over-the-counter meds or supplements or “borrowing” a friend’s Rx drug: Non-prescription and “natural” remedies, as well as Rx ones, can interact with other treatments.

You’ve had a cosmetic surgery-a tummy tuck, breast implants, an eye lift or something else: If you’ve had an adverse reaction to general anesthesia (or even IV sedation) or another issue, such as a bleeding or clotting problem, your primary-care doctor should note this on your chart.

How much you really drink: For women with certain risk factors, even one drink a day could up the chances of breast cancer. Also, if your lab results reveal elevated liver enzymes and your doctor doesn’t know you drink, she may chalk up your issues to the wrong causes, which could lead to unnecessary tests or treatment. And, of course, alcohol doesn’t mix with many meds.

Hyundai 2017 Santa Fe Sport

The affected vehicles have a tire pressure monitoring system that may not have been set in the correct mode during vehicle assembly, and therefore will not provide an appropriate warning in the event of an underinflated tire. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.” An underinflated tire can increase the risk of a crash. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS sensors for free. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at (800) 633-5151. Hyundai’s number for the recall is 159.
