Female | 25
TBT means tension-type headache. This is a common type of headache that often seems like a tight band around the head. The cause might be anxiety, incorrect posture, or not enough sleep. To improve, try to relax more often, sit up straighter, get more rest, and find ways to reduce or cope with stress. These kinds of headaches can be stopped by doing regular physical activity and making sure you drink plenty of water.

If you consumed pink cotton candy and your urine turned pink, it is likely that the food coloring is responsible for the color change.

When these coils are burned, they release toxic chemicals. This can cause unpleasant symptoms like fever, headaches, and eye irritation. If you've been near burning coils, it's crucial to get fresh air right away. Open windows to improve ventilation. Drink lots of water to help flush out the toxins from your body. It's wise to rest and avoid the room with burning coils until you recover. However, if symptoms persist, seeking medical attention is advisable.

Why there was discharge before peing after taking termin injection
Male | 22
Regular pre-pee discharge after terminal injection is common. The shot sometimes aggravates the bladder, which results in this. There is some likelihood that it will also evoke a slight feeling of burning or a soft, dull pain. However, do not panic, as this symptom will normally resolve. Water is necessary to dilute the toxins in your body. If the problem lasts longer or becomes more severe, consult your physician.
