How to use your Member Health Partnerships Health Organizer
The Member Health PartnershipsSM1 Health Organizer is a one-stop reference for your personal health information. In addition to providing valuable health-related information, the organizer has health management tools you can use to track your medical history, medications, routine health and other health services. It also contains tips on how to communicate with your health care provider and how to take prescription medications as well as preventive health plans and health maintenance records. Keeping a record of your personal health information will help you work more effectively with your health care providers. We encourage you to take your organizer with you to all of your visits with your health care provider to review the information.
NOTE: The information contained in this Organizer was consolidated for your convenience from various health resources. The information should not be viewed as medical advice from BCBSNC. If you have any questions concerning your medical condition or any drugs, treatment plan, or new symptoms, consult your health care provider.
The relationship you have with your health care provider is the key to obtaining the best health care that you can. Ask your health care provider how to be an active partner in making decisions about your health. Use the Member Health Partnerships Health Organizer to help build that partnership. Good communication, shared goals and informed decision-making will help you and your health care provider achieve the healthy outcomes you both desire.
Communication is not always easy. During a visit to your health care provider, everyone’s time is limited. You may forget to tell your provider important facts, and he or she may not address the issues you think are important. At times, you may not know the provider well, and he or she may not have your complete medical history. There may be times you feel embarrassed and are not straightforward and honest about your symptoms, lifestyle or habits.
Taking charge of your health means asking questions when explanations or instructions given by your health care provider are unclear, bringing up problems or questions even if he or she does not ask, and letting him or her know when a treatment does not seem to be working.
Keeping a personal health organizer is one step to building a good relationship with your health care provider. Whether you are dealing with a health crisis, managing your condition or documenting routine health care, the Member Health Partnerships Health Organizer will help you record and plan for a healthy future.

What you say to your health care provider plays a big role in how he or she diagnoses and treats your medical problems.

Making the most of your visit to your health care provider
Health Organizer
Here are some ways you can get the most out of visits with your health care provider:
• Before your appointment, make a list of health concerns and questions
Bring the list of questions with you to your appointment.
• Bring a list of all of your medications Your list should include prescriptions, over-
the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal products or other supplements; also include the dosage you take and how often you take the medication. Be sure to tell your health care provider if you have any allergies.
• Do not be afraid to ask questions about your diagnosis and treatment plan
Ask about your treatment options and how each option will benefit your health. Let your health care provider know if you are seeing or being treated by any other health care professionals. It is OK to say, “I do not understand.”
• Be honest about your personal health habits
Talk with your health care provider about your diet, physical activity level, sexual history, smoking or alcohol use. Ask what diet or lifestyle changes you can make to help improve your health.
• Be sure your questions are answered before you leave
It is easy to forget what your health care provider tells you. Take notes, or bring a family member or friend with you. Sometimes, an extra set of eyes and ears can help you remember the questions you have and the answers you are given.

Nutrition and healthy eating
Healthy nutrition does not mean going on a diet — it is a way of life. Healthy nutrition means choosing healthful foods every day. Learn about the foods that you like to eat and make it a habit to make nutritious choices. Eating well will help you maintain or lose weight, reduce your risk for heart disease and other chronic conditions, give you more energy and can make you feel good about yourself.
What is a healthy diet?The U.S.D.A.’s dietary guidelines describe a healthy diet as one that:• Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains,
and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products• Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs
and nuts• Is low in saturated fats, trans-fats, cholesterol,
salt (sodium) and added sugars
How should I eat each day?There is no simple answer that is right for everyone. Every person’s body is different, so learning what is the right amount of food for you is important. Talk with your health care provider about how many calories you should eat each day.
You can get a personalized nutrition guide called the My Pyramid Plan, which is based on your age, gender and activity level. Visit mypyramid.gov , or call 1-800-687-2258, Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST, to request your copy of the guide. The My Pyramid Plan can help you choose the foods and amounts that are right for you.
At least half of the grains that you eat should be whole wheat Try whole-wheat pastas and brown rice. Buy cereals that have at least five grams of fiber. When buying foods, look for the words “whole wheat” on the package and on the ingredient list. When eating out, ask for wheat bread on sandwiches and brown rice at restaurants.
Eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables each day Fresh, frozen, and canned foods all count. Add dark, green vegetables to soups and stews. When eating out, order dishes that include vegetables or a salad. Use fruit as toppings on cereals, pancakes and other foods. Choose whole fruit instead of just juice as it is more filling and contains more fiber.
Choose low-fat or lean meats, fish and poultryBuy meats and poultry that are at least 90 percent lean. Trim any fat that you can see and take off the skin from chicken and turkey. Choose fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon or trout. One serving of meat or poultry is about the size of a deck of cards.
Get three cups of milk or three servings of milk, yogurt or cheese each dayOne serving of yogurt is one cup. One serving of cheese is about the size of your thumb. Choose nonfat or low-fat milk, cheese and yogurt. If you are lactose intolerant, lactose-free and lactose-reduced products are available at most supermarkets. These include hard cheeses and yogurt. Also, enzyme preparations can be added to milk, which makes it more digestible for people who are lactose intolerant.
Avoid foods that are high in sugar or salt Choose water, fat-free milk or unsweetened tea instead of soft drinks with sugar. Enjoy desserts or sweets occasionally, but not every day.
Pack healthy snacks like fruit, low-fat yogurt or a granola bar
Eat out less When you do eat out, choose meals with lots of vegetables. Watch out for big portions — save half of your meal for later. Cut down on fried foods like fried meats or French fries. Ask for substitutes like a fruit cup or tomato slices instead.
Set small goals that you can achieveMaking too many changes to your diet at once can be overwhelming. Start with little steps and set specific goals. For example, a goal might be to eat one serving of vegetables every day at lunch. Write down your goal and how you achieved it each day. At the end of the week give yourself a small reward (not food!) if you reached your goal. Once the goal becomes a habit, set another small goal. Slowly make your goals healthy habits that you can keep for life.

Visualizing serving sizes
Healthy eating includes making healthy food choices and understanding serving sizes. It can be difficult to visualize a half-cup or three ounces, let alone one serving. Here are some everyday comparisons to help you better understand serving sizes:
Here’s what the My Pyramid plan suggests based on a 2,000-calorie daily diet:
Food group Daily requirements and measurements VisualGrainsIn general, 1 serving equals1 ounce
This group should provide 6 one-ounce-equivalents (one-ounce-equivalent means 1 serving), half of which should be whole grains.
A large handful is the size of one serving of whole grains or an ounce of snack food.
1 slice of bread or 1/2 of a bagel the size of a hockey puck.
VegetablesIn general, 1 serving equals1/2 cup
This group should provide 5 servings, which is 2.5 cups.
One-half cup of chopped, cooked or raw vegetables is the size of a light bulb.
FruitIn general, 1 serving equals1/2 cup or a mediumsized fruit
This group should provide 4 daily servings, which is 2 cups.
A medium apple or peach is about the size of a baseball.
OilIn general, 1 serving equals 1 teaspoon
This group should provide 24g or 6 teaspoons.
A teaspoon of margarine is the size of the tip of your thumb to the first joint.
MilkIn general, 1 serving equals 1 cup
This group should provide 3 cups/servings.
One serving of yogurt is one cup or 8 ounces. One ounce of cheese is equal to about four dice.
MeatIn general, 1 serving equals 2-3 ounces
This group should provide 5.5 ounce-equivalents or servings.
Three ounces of meat is the size of a deck of cards or a checkbook.

Physical activity can be both fun and energizing. The good news is that it is never too late to start an active lifestyle. Living an active lifestyle can help improve your overall health. Incorporating physical activity into your life does not have to be exhausting or boring. There are many ways you can get moving by doing activities you enjoy. Reap the health benefits of exercising while you are working toward and maintaining an active way of life.
Becoming more physically activeIncreasing your physical activity helps you feel your best and decreases your risk for stroke, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. If you are not very active or have health problems, be sure to consult your health care provider first and start out slowly. Find an activity that you enjoy and feel that you can stick with, and then vary it with other activities so that you do not get bored. In order to prevent injury, keep safety in mind and learn about the risks of any new activity.
Examples of physical activity
• Walking or hiking• Jogging• Bicycling• Gardening or yard work• Swimming or water aerobics• Walking on a treadmill• Stair climbing• Dancing
Take the following steps to make physical activity a regular part of your day:
• Make exercise a routine Make an appointment with yourself to
exercise and pick a time each day when you are most likely to keep it.
• Get support from others By having the support of friends and family,
you are more likely to stick with your physical activity plan and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Schedule time to exercise with a friend.
• Set fitness goals By developing and following a specific
program, you are more likely to succeed. You can start by setting a one-month goal that you can reach.
• Monitor your progress Keep a record of what you do. Recording
your physical activity makes you more aware of your progress.
• Reward yourself When you meet your goal, celebrate your
accomplishment. If it is helpful, you can build on your successes week by week.

Physical activity
A physical activity routine does not need to be strenuous or costly to be beneficial. Regular, moderate-intensity physical activity, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking five or more times a week, can be helpful to people of all ages. Try to spread it out through the week. If you do not have time to take a 30-minute walk, break it up into three 10-minute walks. Every other day might work best for you.
Benefits of physical activity• Helps to control your weight, blood
pressure and cholesterol
• Strengthens your heart, lungs, muscles and bones
• Helps to increase your energy and strength
• Helps you look and feel better
• Helps you to sleep better and manage stress
• Helps to reduce your risk of heart attack
For the best health results, work up to 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Before beginning any kind of physical activity plan, be sure to talk with your health care provider about what activities are safe for you.

What is stress?Stress is a part of life. Our reaction to stress is the way that our body responds to change or tense situations. Often, the stress we feel comes as much from how we react to things as from the things themselves. Our reaction is related to our mind’s perception of our ability to cope with an event or situation. Some stress can be positive; it can motivate us and help us to focus. While some stress is normal, too much stress can negatively affect your health. Also, if you do not cope with stress very well, it can lead to harmful symptoms.
What causes stress?Events that provoke stress are called stressors. Becoming more aware of your stressors and what you can change can help you better respond to stressful events. There are many causes of stress, whether it is a difficult situation or an ongoing problem that lingers over a period of time. Things that may cause stress include:
• Minor problems like being late for work
• Major life-changing events such as getting married, having a baby, moving or experiencing a change in employment
• Ongoing concerns like health problems, finances, family or relationship problems or job-related stress
Understanding what types of situations trigger stress is important in thinking about how to manage stress.
What are the symptoms of stress?We each respond differently to stressful situations. You may experience tension in your neck or muscle strain as your first signal of stress. Below are some common symptoms that we often feel when we experience stress:
• Headache• Pain in neck, shoulders and back• Anger or irritability• Unable to concentrate • Fatigue • Upset stomach, nausea diarrhea• Overeating • Rapid breathing/heart rate• Sweating and sweaty palms
Lifestyle tips to relieve stressStress is a normal response that everyone feels from time to time. However, there are a few things that you can do to decrease or prevent stressful incidents:
• Prioritize and manage your time – plan ahead• Engage in moderate exercise most days
of the week• Balance personal, work and family needs• Eat a healthy diet• Get a good night’s sleep• Build healthy coping strategies• Limit your alcohol consumption • Do not smoke• Build a social support system • Avoid or limit caffeine

Stress management
What can I do to better manage stress?Stress often occurs when the demands in your life exceed your ability to cope with them. Here are some important measures to take in order to help your body effectively handle stress:
• Change your thinking Your outlook, attitude and thoughts greatly
influence the way you see things. A healthy dose of optimism can help you make the best of stressful circumstances. Try to think of challenges as opportunities and stressors as temporary problems—not disasters.
• Practice healthy coping strategies By picking up an enjoyable or relaxing
leisure activity, you can lower your stress level. To be sure you stay relaxed, build time into your schedule to enjoy these activities that are pleasurable and calming.
Healthy coping strategies
• Listen to music• Take a bath or shower• Exercise – go for a walk or bike ride• Write in a journal • Read a book or a magazine
• Learn to relax Practice techniques such as deep-breathing,
imagery and other methods of relaxation to help alleviate stress and tension from your body. Getting a good night’s sleep also helps your body feel more refreshed, so you can have a clear mind to tackle the challenges of the day.
• Be realistic Balance your obligations. Placing too many
demands on yourself can potentially add to your stress level. No one is perfect—ask for help when you need it. Plan ahead and allow yourself adequate time to get things done. Prioritize the important things and manage your time wisely.
• Treat your body well Engage in regular physical activity and eat
a well-balanced diet. Exercise is one of the most effective ways to handle your stress.
• Solve the small problems You can maintain a sense of control by
solving everyday problems. Develop your skills at approaching problems in a calm manner, figuring out possible solutions and taking action. Improving this skill can also help you build your confidence to move on to life’s bigger challenges.
• Get the support you need Support systems can be your family, friends
or even coworkers. Getting their help during stressful times can help you better handle stressful situations. Express your feelings in a positive manner – emotions are normal responses to stress.

If you are having a hard time stopping smoking or chewing tobacco, there are programs and treatments that can help you. Talk to your doctor or health care provider about treatment options that can help you quit.
People quit using tobacco every day, and you can, too! Here are some tips to help you quit:
• Be clear on why you want to quit Some common reasons include not wanting
to be a slave to addiction, the way cigarettes make your hair and clothes smell, and the prospect of saving money. Some people recognize the health benefits of being tobacco-free. In addition to increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and lung cancer, smoking can harm nearly every organ in your body, reducing your health in general. Quitting tobacco has immediate and long-term health benefits.
• Keep track of when and why you use tobacco
Discovering your triggers can help you to prepare for them and/or avoid them. Common triggers are driving in your car, finishing a meal, feeling stressed or being with others who use tobacco. Be prepared for your triggers so you can stay away from situations that may tempt you.
• Pick an official Quit Day Get out a calendar and pick a day in the next
few weeks to be your official Quit Day. Do not pick a day when you know you will be highly stressed, and do not pick a holiday.
• Come up with a plan Decide how you want to quit. Do you want to
go cold turkey, or do you want to use nicotine replacement therapy? Are you interested in joining a support group in your community, or would you prefer to participate in an online quit program?
• Get motivated Tell people you are going to quit and ask
them for their help and support. Give yourself something to look forward to and set up a series of rewards for your milestones, such as your first day tobacco-free, your first week, and your first month free of tobacco.
• Plan ahead Get yourself ready for situations that may
trigger you to use tobacco and make a plan. Stay away from those situations and be ready for the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Get through your cravings by doing other things, like taking a walk, going places that are smoke-free, talking to a supportive friend or using stress management techniques.
• Do not quit quitting If you do slip and use tobacco again, do not
give up. Pick up where you left off. You quit once, you can do it again.
If you need help, call 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800-784-8669) anytime between 8 a.m. and midnight, seven days a week, to talk to a tobacco-cessation specialist. You can also visit their Web site at quitl inenc.com .

How to stay tobacco free
You quit using tobacco—congratulations! The following tips will provide you with additional tools and resources to help you maintain your tobacco-free lifestyle.
• Plan ahead for times that may lead you to smoke again
Remember your triggers and be prepared for them. If you used tobacco after a meal, brush your teeth directly after your meal or do the dishes. If you used to use tobacco when you were hungry, make sure not to skip meals and have healthy snacks on hand. If you used tobacco when you were stressed, use stress reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, physical activity or talking to a friend.
• Stay positive Challenge negative thoughts such as, “Just
one cigarette will not hurt.” Remember all that you have gained through quitting: more energy, easier breathing, more money in your pocket and better health. Do not let negativity ruin all of your hard work. Stay strong and review your reasons for quitting.
• Continue to reward yourself Rewarding yourself reinforces your decision
to stay tobacco-free. Give yourself a reward for every milestone you reach, such as your birthday or the anniversary of your quit date. Rewards do not have to be big or cost much; they can be anything you enjoy doing, such as going to a movie, spending extra time on a hobby, or getting tickets to a concert or sporting event.
• Keep your guard up The key to staying tobacco-free over
the long-term is to keep your guard up. It is common for tobacco users to feel overconfident after making it through a few days or weeks. Some people even purposely put themselves in potential trigger situations to test their resolve. Do not tempt yourself. Until you no longer have any withdrawal symptoms and notice that your urges to use tobacco have become less frequent, it is a good idea to be cautious.
• Seek support when you need it There may be times when you feel tempted
to use tobacco again. If this does happen, call someone. Tell them you are thinking about using tobacco and ask them to help you through it. Talk to friends who have successfully quit and ask for their support. North Carolina has a free Quit Line that is available 8 a.m. – midnight, seven days a week: 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800-784-8669).
Take pride in your tobacco-free life. Since you have stopped using tobacco, you have added healthy, full days to each year of your life. If you used cigarettes, you have cut back on dangerous second-hand smoke for your loved ones. Finally, by quitting, you have set a good example to others by showing that life without tobacco is a longer, healthier and happier life.

What is high blood pressure?High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a condition in which the force of blood against artery walls is too strong. If left untreated, high blood pressure can damage the arteries, heart and kidneys and can lead to heart disease and stroke.
A blood pressure reading consists of an upper number and a lower number and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). The upper number is referred to as systolic blood pressure, which is the pressure in the artery when the heart beats and fills with blood. The lower number is diastolic blood pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
What is considered a normal blood pressure reading?
Are you at risk for high blood pressure?Little is known about what causes most cases of high blood pressure, although there are several risk factors related to its development. Some risk factors are beyond your control, such as race, family history of high blood pressure and your age. However, several factors that are in your control may contribute to high blood pressure and raise your risk for heart attack and stroke. These risk factors include:
• Being overweight or obese • High sodium (salt) intake in some people• Drinking three or more alcoholic
beverages a day• Lack of physical activity

High blood pressure
While high blood pressure usually cannot be cured, it can be prevented and controlled in most cases. Talk with your health care provider about lifestyle changes that you can make to help lower your risk of developing high blood pressure.
Controlling your blood pressureBy making certain lifestyle or behavioral changes, you can help control your high blood pressure and reduce your risk of developing complications. Here are some tips to help you:
• Know what your blood pressure should be and work with your health care provider to keep it at that level.
• Lose weight if you are overweight or maintain a healthy weight.
• Be more physically active.
• Eat a healthy diet that is low in saturated fats and cholesterol.
• Avoid using too much salt (sodium). Healthy adults need no more than 2,300 mg of sodium a day (Roughly 1 teaspoon of salt).Your health care provider may say you need less.
• Take your medication as prescribed by your health care provider.
• Limit alcohol use. That means no more than one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men.
• Reduce stress.
• Stop smoking.
Thirty minutes of physical activity most days of the week can help you improve your health. Before beginning any kind of physical activity plan, be sure to talk with your health care provider about what activities are safe for you.

Cholesterol is a type of fat (lipid) that is found in all cells of the body. Your body makes cholesterol and uses it to perform important functions like producing new cells. It also comes from eating foods high in fat, such as meat, eggs and milk products. These foods can increase the amount of cholesterol in your body.
High cholesterolToo much cholesterol in the blood, or high cholesterol, can be serious. If excess cholesterol is in your blood, it can build up in the wall of your arteries and can cause them to narrow. Over time, this buildup of cholesterol, called plaque, can decrease the blood flow to your heart and other parts of your body. This condition is referred to as atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. People with high cholesterol have a greater chance of heart disease and stroke.
Total cholesterolA total cholesterol test measures if your cholesterol is high or low. A total cholesterol test can be performed at anytime, regardless of when you last had anything to eat or drink.
Bad cholesterolLDL (low-density lipoproteins) is considered “bad” cholesterol. This kind of cholesterol leads to a buildup of cholesterol in arteries. High LDL can raise your risk of getting heart disease.
Good cholesterolHDL (high-density lipoprotein) is sometimes called “good” cholesterol because it helps prevent cholesterol from building up in the arteries. High levels of HDL appear to help protect against heart disease.
TriglyceridesTriglycerides are the most common type of fat found in the blood and are a major source of energy. However, having high triglyceride levels may increase your risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD).

High cholesterol
High cholesterol itself does not cause symptoms, so many people are unaware that their cholesterol level is too high. Make sure you discuss this test with your health care provider so he or she can advise you about what is right for you.

High cholesterol
How is high cholesterol diagnosed?You will need to have your blood tested to see if you have high cholesterol. The lipoprotein profile (or lipid panel) measures your total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides levels. This is the preferred test for measuring cholesterol levels. This test requires that you avoid eating or drinking anything for 9 to 12 hours before your blood is drawn for the test.
Are you at risk for high cholesterol?High cholesterol may run in your family, and if people in your family have it, your risk is higher. As we age, our body’s cholesterol levels tend to increase. Some risk factors such as age, gender and family history are outside of our control. However, the factors below can also lead to high cholesterol levels and are ones we can control:
• Being overweight or obese• Lack of physical activity• Eating foods high in fat
Lowering your cholesterolThere are some ways you can help to reduce your cholesterol:
• Lose weight if you are overweight• Be more physically active• Quit smoking• Drink alcohol in moderation• Eat a healthy diet that is low in saturated
fats and cholesterol
Sometimes, lifestyle changes may not be enough to get your cholesterol levels under control. If a more healthy diet and an increase in exercise do not lower your cholesterol, then your health care provider may prescribe drug therapy. If that is the case, it is important to take your medication as prescribed by your health care provider.
Working with your health care provider can help you design a treatment plan for reducing your cholesterol and keeping your heart healthy.

Do you need to take prescription medicine every day?If so, then be sure that you know what you are taking. If you are taking many different medications, the first thing you should do is keep an up-to-date list of all the medications you take: prescription medications, nonprescription medications, vitamins, herbals and dietary supplements. You can use the log on the following page to track your medications. You can download additional logs from in the Member Health Partnerships section of our Web site at bcbsnc.com , or you can photocopy the enclosed logs.
Take this list with you when you visit your health care provider. Better yet, place all of your medications (in their original containers) in a bag and take them with you to your provider appointments. Make sure that your provider knows exactly what you are taking so he or she can be sure that your medications are appropriate for your medical condition(s) and he or she can check for possible drug interactions.
Also, it is important to let your pharmacist know about all the medications you take as well. They may not know about medications you may be taking that do not require a prescription or that were filled at another pharmacy.
Do any of the following statements apply to you?
I often forget to take my medication• Keep your medicine out in the open where
you will see it every day. However, be sure to store it in a dry place and away from small children.
• Make it a habit to take your medicine every day at the same time that you do something
else that is routine, such as brushing your teeth, doing the dishes or putting on your pajamas.
• Give yourself reminders to take your medication: set an alarm or leave yourself a note on the bathroom mirror or kitchen counter.
• If you are taking a medicine that needs to be taken several times a day, ask your health care provider if there is a once-a-day medicine or dose that will work just as well for you.
I do not refill my medications right away when I run out• Figure out how long the medicine in your
container will last or ask your pharmacist. Make plans to get your refill five days before the medicine runs out. Put the refill date on your calendar or on your list of errands.
I am having side effects from a medication, or I am afraid that I will have side effects• Share your concerns about side effects with
your health care provider or pharmacist right away. He or she will be able to tell you how likely it is that any side effects you may be experiencing are coming from your medicine, as well as what you might be able to do to decrease the side effects, or if certain side effects might mean it is time to consider a different treatment.
• Your provider or pharmacist can give you information that may help you weigh the benefits and risks of taking a particular medication.
• In some cases, it is more dangerous to stop a medication suddenly because you are afraid of possible side effects than the side effects themselves.

Medication adherence
I have trouble opening the childproof cap on the medicine container• If you are in a household with no risk of
small children accidentally getting into your medicines, ask your pharmacist for a non-childproof cap.
• Do not transfer your medication into another container.
I have trouble paying for my medications• Let your health care provider know that you
have a problem with the high cost of your medicines.
• Ask your provider if lower-cost generic versions, generic alternatives or other lower-cost therapy options are available in place of your most expensive medicines, and if they might be right for you.
I do not think my medication is working• Ask your health care provider or pharmacist
how to know if your medicine is or is not working. Many times, medicines improve your medical condition even though you may not feel any different.
• It is important to take your medicines exactly as your health care provider has ordered. Do not stop taking your medicine until you have talked about your thoughts or concerns.
I do not think my medical condition is serious enough that I need medications• Again, have an honest discussion with your
health care provider about his or her opinion about the seriousness of your condition. Find out what the risks might be if you do not take the medication.
• To control most chronic medical conditions, you must take your medication regularly in order for it to help. This means taking medication on days you feel bad and on days you feel good.
• Ask for printed material about your medical condition if you want to learn more about it.
I am unsure how to take my medication correctly, and I have questions about it• Ask your health care provider or pharmacist
any questions you might have about your medicine. You should never feel embarrassed to ask questions.
• Read any printed material that comes with your prescription.
Talk to your doctor and pharmacistTell your health care provider or pharmacist if you are having any problems with your medications. Health care professionals want you to get as much benefit from your medications as possible and want you to be as healthy as you can be. Be sure to take advantage of their expert advice.

Health Organizer – Medical history - 27
Medical history
Your personal medical history, as well as the medical history of your family members, is perhaps the most important information you can give to your health care provider. This information will help your provider avoid potential adverse interactions with the medications you may be taking and can help build on treatments you know have worked for you in the past. Your family history can also be used to plan preventive health measures for the future. Keeping a written health history can improve the health care that you receive and help you stay well.
Medical history
Diagnosis historyTo the best of your ability, write down your personal health history. Begin with the earliest diagnosis you can remember. Do not be concerned if you cannot remember the exact date or name of the health care provider who treated you. It is important to record childhood illnesses such as chicken pox, scarlet fever, measles or mumps and any surgeries you may have had, such as having your tonsils removed. Record your current health status, as well as any treatments you may be receiving to treat your current condition(s). Continue this process as your health status changes in order to stay up-to-date with your personal health history.
Medication historyConsider calling your pharmacy or pharmacies for a list of all the medications you have had filled to help you complete this section. Your medication history can start with the medications you are currently taking. This would include any conditions for which you either take medication on a daily basis or medication you take only occasionally. Be sure to include any over-the-counter medications you may be taking such as pain relievers, antacids or allergy medications. Continue to add and update this list as your medications change or as you begin new medications.

For example:
For example:
Vitamins, supplements and herbal productsRecord any vitamins, supplements or herbal products you are currently taking. Many over-the-counter supplements can interact with prescription medications and cause unwanted side effects. That is why it is very important to let your health care provider know about any supplements you may be taking. If a provider suggests you take an over-the-counter vitamin, supplement or herbal product, be sure to record the name of that provider.
Adverse allergic reactionsRecord any allergies you now have or had in the past and the type of reaction you had or have had to the allergen. If you can recall the first time you reacted to the allergen, record that date and any treatment you had to deal with the reaction. You may also include in this section any drug allergies you have.

Family historyYour family medical history may be the most important information you have for your health care provider to review regarding possible hereditary illnesses. Record in this list as much information as you can about the medical conditions of both your mother’s and father’s sides of the family. Include sisters, brothers, grandparents, aunts and uncles. If the family member is deceased, record his or her age at the time of death. You can make additional notes about your family history on the back of the family history form.

Health maintenance records
Maintaining healthy practices and getting preventive health screenings is key to detecting illnesses early. Simple things like keeping track of your height, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol will enable you to note small changes early, so you can take preventive action before you potentially develop a chronic illness. You should discuss with your health care provider the advantages of lifestyle changes that can both improve and protect your health.
Health Maintenance RecordThe Health Maintenance Record lists a number of general tests, exams or vaccinations your health care provider may recommend. Record the date you had the test or exam and the result. Additional space is available to include other tests that your provider may order.
For example:
Health maintenance and preventive screening
Date 2/2004 3/2005 10/2006
Blood pressure 120/82 116/72
Total cholesterol 220 152
HDL 55 60
LDL 120 100

Health Organizer – Personal heatlh diary - 65
Personal health diary
Keeping a health diary can be helpful in many ways. By using the health diary, you can track your health and wellness, any symptoms you may have, learn what works best for you, as well as understand what makes your condition worse. You will be able to provide your health care provider with much more accurate and complete information. It may also help you spot habits that need improvement such as diet and physical activity. Keep each sheet and review them with your health care provider for patterns.
Additional copies are available on the Member Health Partnerships Web site at bcbsnc.com .
Filling out your personal health diary:
• Note when the first symptoms of condition begin, changes in intensity, and when pain/symptoms end.
• List all medications taken and food eaten each day.
• List any stressors that you experience, such as rushing to work, relationship issues, money problems, etc.
• Note when you were sleeping, including all naps.
• The Other Comments column is for any other factor that you feel has affected your health on a particular day. If you are required to take your blood pressure or sugar level each day, you may use this section to record that information. You may also record your weight here as well.
• Keep a diary for a minimum of one week.
