Why am I feeling constantly tired and sleepy?
I am an 18 year old female. I have been preparing for competitive exams for almost a year now. everything was going okay I used to feel a little sleepy while studying in the morning after 6 to 7 hours of sleep. But recently I have been sleeping 6 to 7 hours at night but feeling too tired all day especially when I am studying, I have my exam next month. I am unable to study I am trying so hard but I still feel so sleepy all day. I also missed my periods last month.

You are experiencing a lot of stress from exams. Feeling drained and missing periods could indicate stress-induced hormone imbalance. When stressed, your hormones get disrupted, causing fatigue and irregular menstruation. To manage this, rest adequately, maintain a nutritious diet, and consider counseling for stress-coping techniques. Remember to take study breaks periodically and prioritize self-care practices.

Having fever, cough, or headache may signify a cold or flu coming. Your body's battling infection - fever kills germs, coughing clears lungs, and headaches stem from congestion. Rest, hydrate well, and take OTC meds for relief.

Pain in hands and feet, headache along with nausea. High fever occurs when the pain becomes extreme. After taking medicine, it gets better for three or four days. But after five or six days, the fever comes again like this. It has been going on for months. Have seen doctor many times. But result is same. I suffered from typhoid fever like this for the past few years. It got cured after using high antibiotics. But after six months or a year it relapsed. What should I do in this situation? And please prescribe suitable madicine.
Male | 36
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is likely you are having a problem called chronic typhoid fever, where the infection keeps coming back. This might be the case if the initial infection was not completely treated or if there is a carrier state. You may need to take longer antibiotics or other medicines. It is necessary to consult a specialist for additional examination and medication adjustment.

Hello, I smoked meth today around 4:00pm. Since then, my heart rate has been between 125-150bpm. At 8:00pm, I felt a little bit of anxiety creeping up so I took my prescribed hydroxyzine. At midnight I took my prescribed trazodone for sleep. I’m wondering what I can do to get my heart rate back to baseline and what I can do regarding my sleep. I’m a bit worried from taking the hydroxyzine and trazodone so close together.
Male | 34
If you've recently used meth and are experiencing a high heart rate and anxiety, prioritize staying hydrated and finding a calm environment to relax in. Avoid any further stimulants like caffeine or nicotine. Consult a doctor about taking hydroxyzine and trazodone together, as they can advise on potential risks and interactions.

Hey, im 15 but one of my cats recently got sick and died, it was 34 days ago, i live in Tennessee kingsport, the cat recently doed and foamed at the mouth but 2 days before death he was drinking water and climbed into the water bowl, my grandother said it was because he was poisoned, shes seen poisoned cats before, amd ive not fwlt good for 5 weeks but my aunt said it was probably covid, shes a nurse and she asked a bunch if her doctor friends if they thought i had it and she said they laughed, so i can rule out rabies right? My indoor cat has been acting somewhat odd and he ate something feom me, but i only have 2 ranies symptoms that can also be caused by covid, fatigue and enlarged eyes, please give me good news, thank you
Female | 15
The foaming mouth sounds bad. Cats don't get rabies if they're inside. Poison may cause foaming. You should take your cat to the vet, to check what's wrong. I'm glad you're being careful about your health. If you feel unwell, you should see a doctor too. It's smart to be safe about illness.
