View allI'm currently taking valprol CR300 twice a day and I'm 59 years old, weighing about 70kgs. I just got my blood tests back and my triglyceride levels are at 260. I'm wondering if this could be because of the medication? What other side effects should I be aware of? Is it safe for me to stop taking this medicine? I've had two epilepsy attacks, one in August 2014 and another in March 2015. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really worried because he's been having these severe headaches, almost like migraines, for the past 2 to 3 years. They often come with vomiting too. Could you suggest any medication that might help or recommend some tests we should consider? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms are indicative of migraine. You should visit a physician to determine the type of migraine. Only then can the appropriate medication be prescribed. Commonly used medication include, Naxdom (Naproxen + Domperidone), Sumatriptan, Celecoxib etc.

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been in the habit of masturbating about three to five times a week. It used to be fine, but last year I started getting this weird needle and pin sensation and numbness in my hands. I stopped for about 10-12 days and the sensations eased up in about a week. But the moment I started again, the sensations came back the very first day. Can you help me understand what's going on with my sexual health? Are there any home remedies you'd suggest?
Your symptoms of needle-like sensations, numbness, and rapid relapse after resuming masturbation suggest a possible condition known as "neurogenic shock" or "over-stimulation neuropathy," which may be related to excessive masturbation, pelvic floor muscle tension, or peripheral nerve compression; consider home remedies like taking regular breaks from masturbation, practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation), engaging in physical exercise, and applying warm compresses to the genital area to relieve tension; however, consult a urologist, or a neurologist for personalized guidance and to rule out underlying medical conditions.
