Unsung Heroes—Caregivers
Supporting and caring for someone you love takes up a lot of time, energy, and resources. As our population ages, the need for caregivers continues to grow. Today, more attention is being given to those who support family members and friends.
Most of those who are providing support are partners or children of the people they care for. Often, the role of caregiver happens unexpectedly and requires a period of adjustment.
Caregiving Can Be Rewarding
Caregiving can be very rewarding, but it can be hard work and cause stress. Sometimes there are emotional or financial challenges, such as extra visits to the doctor, additional medications that cost more, or special dietary needs that require more preparation time. Often caregiving involves sacrifices, restrictions, and competing responsibilities.
Ways to Take Care of Yourself
Because caregiving can be stressful, it's important that the person providing the support stays fit and well. Caregivers tend to ignore their own needs, and this can lead to frustration later on. Here are some ways to help you avoid this:
- Make sure you are taking care of yourself
- Schedule your own doctor appointments and don't miss any screenings or tests you may need
- Refill your own prescriptions, and take them as prescribed
- Exercise regularly; even stepping out for a 20-minute walk is beneficial
- Plan your week, and schedule time for yourself on a regular basis
- Remember your close friends, and take time to catch up
- Do something that gives you pleasure, like visiting a museum, or seeing a movie or a play
- Delegate responsibilities by asking other family members, friends, or neighbors for help if you're feeling overwhelmed
- Discuss your feelings and experiences with others, either informally in a conversation, or through a support group—especially if you feel anxious

Important Safety Information
Nitrolingual Pumpspray should not be used if you are allergic to nitroglycerin or if you are using medications for erectile dysfunction such as sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil. Using Nitrolingual Pumpspray with these products may cause low blood pressure, known as hypotension, due to widening of blood vessels.
You should use Nitroglycerin with caution in the early days after a heart attack and it may aggravate the angina caused by a condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Increased hypotension, mainly when standing upright, may occur even with small doses of nitroglycerin and may result in slow heart beat and increased angina. It should be used with caution if you are dehydrated due to drug therapy or if you have low blood pressure.
You might develop a tolerance to this drug or to other nitrates and nitrites.
Headache is the most reported side-effect and may be severe and persistent. Other side effects that may have been reported are headache, dizziness, or numbness and tingling of the skin.
