We know it can be hard to acknowledge or recognize the negative effects of social media on your mental & physical health. Take this opportunity to stop scrolling & ask yourself these questions! If you find yourself answering "yes" maybe it's time for a social media break. #OSTPM

Cardiac arrest vs. heart attack.
⚡️Cardiac arrest is an "electrical" problem: the heart goes into an erratic rhythm, cannot pump blood and stops beating entirely.
💧A heart attack is a "plumbing" problem: the heart’s blood flow is slowed/ blocked, but keeps beating.
