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.
Female | 18
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.

I have gastritis. I had been prescribed Amoxicillin tablets and i purchased accidentally capsule and consumed it, will it have a wrong affect in the body
Male | 21
For gastritis, Amoxicillin consumption in capsule instead of tablet form should not significantly affect its value. If you have doubts about the dose or the form of medication that you've taken, it's good to consult your doctor for confirmation and more instructions.

Mere sir pain hota hai 24 ghante
Female | 16
It could be because you did not get as much water as needed, were stressed, or watched the screen for hours. Headaches can also result from sleep deprivation or too much noise. If you want to reduce your pain to a minimum, you must turn to a peaceful place to relax and drink water. Also, if it doesn't relieve the situation by then, do consider talking to a Neurologist to sort out the cause and receive an accurate diagnosis.

The main cause of numbness in the hands is hyperemia in the muscles of the hands. The hyperemia causes increased amount of blood flow.

Kya kaner ka ek fal khane se death ho sakti he
महिला | 23
No, I suppose that one accidentally eating a piece of a kaner (oleander) fruit is not very likely to kill. Yet, it is a very poisonous plant and any of its parts will cause very severe symptoms e.g. vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal heartbeat, or even death. If you or somebody associated with you accidentally partakes in the substance of the plant kaner, then first aid treatment is a must. Please see a gastroenterologist or go to the emergency room as early as possible.
