26 years and have been feeling tired and weak and also my heartbeat is faster
Male | 26
It looks like you could have a condition named anemia. Anemia might give you a sense of being tired, weak and having a fast heartbeat. This may occur when the body doesn’t have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. To start feeling better, you might need to consume more iron-rich foods such as spinach and beans. In addition, make sure that you rest enough and stay hydrated. If these signs persist, seek medical attention promptly.

My toe nail is completely ripping off it is barely on connected to my long toe. It is not currently bleeding and does not hurt either. From when I'm writing this it had been an hour.
Male | 13
if YOUR toenail IS completely FALLING off DON'T panic. IT'S quite common AND usually NOT serious. Just keep the area clean and dry. If it starts to hurt or bleed, cover with a bandage. Avoid tight shoes and socks. Don't pull the nail.. IT WILL likely grow back in a few months.. See a doctor if you have diabetes or poor circulation. REMEMBER to TAKE CARE of YOURSELF!

The doctor prescribed me a medicine (megapin) of 500mg but the megapin I got has a label 250/250 mg does that mean the medicine is total 500mg?
Male | 60
When medicine labels show 250/250 mg, it means there are two ingredients, each with 250 mg. One tablet contains 500 mg (250 + 250 = 500 mg). You're getting the correct dose your doctor prescribed. Follow the instructions for how many tablets to take.
