How can I protect myself from getting an Achy Breaky Heart?

By Katie Prater, ONU PharmD Candidate 2025 and Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist

In 1992, Billy Ray Cyrus released his song Achy Breaky Heart. Originally, this song was written by Don Von Tress in 1990 and initially released as Don’t Tell my Heart by the Marcy Brothers in 1991. Billy’s version of this song talks about protecting his heart from a romantic perspective, but how could this apply to the overall health of our heart? Many of us do not want any type of ‘achy breaky heart,’ whether it be from heart break or illness. So what can you do to help protect your heart health?

We often hear all about the things that can negatively impact our heart health, but what can we do to help protect our heart? Recent research has found the shingles vaccine may help. 

Many diseases can impact our heart health and research is showing shingles may be one that does. Shingles occurs when the virus causing chickenpox reactivates in the body, causing a painful rash along a nerve. Commonly the rash presents around the side of the body and can potentially lead to serious complications like long-term nerve pain.
