need to know

My racing heart
I’m 50 years old and recently started running. It can certainly get the heart pounding very quickly! Should I be worried?

Allergen effects
I have allergic asthma and can’t always avoid exposure to allergens. What can I do to reduce the effects?

Pre-diabetes
My doctor just told me I had “pre-diabetes.” What does that mean?
