Answered on 2nd July '24

Some changes to your body ne­ed attention. Losing weight rapidly, without e­ffort, isn't normal. It might result from thyroid issues, diabete­s, or even stress. Tire­dness, dizziness, freque­nt hunger - these symptoms re­quire caution. To ensure safe­ty, it's wise to consult a healthcare provide­r and determine the­ underlying cause.

I can't sleep well I just sleep for 2 3 hours

Female | 17

You might be experiencing difficulty in sleeping. Sleeping only for 2-3 hours is not enough. Do you feel tired, irritable, or have difficulty concentrating during the day? It may be due to stress, caffeine, or electronic devices before going to bed. Try relaxation before bedtime, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable sleeping space.

I got scratched under my right foot by a random cat on 12/02/24 at approximate 5:10PM at the Masjid while praying. I immediately washed the affected area with soap for about 5 minutes. The cat didn't seem rabid (No hypersalivation, itching, photophobia or visible scar or bite mark). I took an anti titenus serum afterwards as a precaution. Do I need to take Rabivax? If so, why, how, where and when?

Male | 19

It is advised that you should see a doctor who deals in infectious diseases and also get tested. The doctor will decide on the next steps depending on the scratch severity, the location, and the overall health state. A doctor may recommend a rabies vaccine based on the case.

A fever of 103 to 104 indicates an infection, such as the flu, a bacterial infection, or a urinary tract infection. Taking Calpol can help, but if it doesn't, you might need a different medication. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, rest, and stay cool. If the fever doesn't decrease, seek medical help.

You need to take your child to the pediatrician right away if he is having fever and seizures. These may be a sign of a serious underlying condition that needs medical assistance. A pediatric neurologist could be also required in the management of seizures.

Hello doctor, I was injured through blade, on the 11 October timing around 3 PM, i forgot to take tatnus shot, today in the morning I taken shot of tetnus, I think I had been more than 30 hours of little injury, did I delayed to taken tetnus shot? As of now I don't have any symptoms. If I delayed then now what should I do?

Male | 27

Tetanus can take place if bacteria invade the injured area. Even if you took it a bit late, it's not too late to fix that. Symptoms such as muscle stiffness and spasms may show up. Don't forget to look for this. Now that you've got the vaccination, you're safe. Keep an eye on your wound and if you notice something strange or feel sick, it's a good idea to call your doctor.

I was prescribed lamictal a mood stablizer two weeks ago. My doctor just increased my dosage to 50mg from 25mg. I went to the doctor Wednesday for an ear infection and my blood pressure was high : 150/90. I have been checking it ever since and It has been the same. I checked it today and it was 160/100. I have never had high blood pressure, and its always been 120/80 or lower. I am pretty sure this medication is causing my blood pressure to be high because it wont go down. I cant talk to my doctor till next Wednesday thats when shes in the office. I cant stop taking the medication because its an anti-seizure medication and if i stop cold turkey I may have a seizure, but I dont want to keep taking it because its making my blood pressure dangerously high and idk

Female | 23

It could be that the boost in the dosage of the stabilizer, Lamictal, is causing your hypertension. It is vital you tell your doctor when you noticed the change in your blood pressure readings. Please do not alter your medication without consulting the doctor. In the meantime, it is crucial to keep an eye on your blood pressure by doing regular monitoring and looking for medical help if it remains high. You may contact a specialist for advanced evaluation and management.

Hello sir My name is kazmi khan age 24 height 5.9 inch Weight 58kh please say how to increase weight

Male | 24

If you want to gain weight, you will need to actively increase calorie consumption by consuming more calories than your body burns in a regular day. Additionally, you can add calories by consuming nutrient dense whole foods like nuts, avocados, and lean proteins. In fact, you can reach out to a registered dietitian or a nutritionist to get a plan suited to your personal needs. In cases of underlying diseases that are contributing to your weight gain, it is a good idea to have a consultation with an endocrinologist to conduct more thorough analysis.

The very corners of my eyes are slightly yellow after smoking cannabis with my friend and we are smoking hash joints which has like a mix of tobacco in it. Im a 20 year old girl and i smoke weed pretty regularly for the past like 6 months or so. I almost never drink and the last time i drank was well over a momth ago. I also never smoke cigarette but did that a month ago too. I saw someone here saw this guy had jaundice because he smoked weed and had hepititus B but i dont have that. Its just the corners and its not that pigmented but its scaring me please help

Female | 20

Yellowing of the eyes may suggest liver problems and hepatitis. Smoking cannabis and tobacco may aggravate liver infection. The issue is that it's hard to pinpoint the cause without thorough examination. An additional evaluation and liver function tests are advised to be conducted by your doctor.
