Question 1

I'm 17 years old and my height is 5'6". I've heard about growth hormones like HGH, and I'm curiouswhat kind would be appropriate for someone like me? How does it work, and would it really help me get taller? I'm a bit worried about not growing any more at my age. Any advice on this would be great.

Accepted Answer

As a 17-year-old, your growth plates are still open, and you may naturally grow taller; to support growth, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins D and K, regular exercise like stretching and strength training, and adequate sleep; regarding HGH, it's essential to consult an endocrinologist  , as HGH supplements are not recommended for non-medical use, and prescription HGH therapy is only approved for growth hormone deficiency or specific medical conditions.

Question 2

I'm dealing with constant giddiness but my BP seems fine. I've also been having neck muscle pain. Could my dizziness be linked to my neck issues?

Accepted Answer

it can be due to Cervical vertigo
Also known as cervicogenic dizziness, this condition can be caused by inflammation, joint issues, or trauma. Other symptoms include vision issues, nausea, and lack of coordination. Poor posture, such as "text neck", can also contribute to cervical vertigo. 
Neck muscle spasms
Strong neck muscle contractions can cause dizziness, balance issues, vision changes, and fatigue. 
Cervical disc herniation
When a disc in the neck herniates, the gel inside can irritate a nearby nerve, causing pain in the neck, head, upper back, or arm. Other symptoms include weakness, numbness, and tingling. 
Stress and anxiety
Less common symptoms of anxiety include neck pain, dizziness, or light-headedness. 
Low blood sugar so consult general physician
A sharp drop in blood sugar can cause dizziness, especially when waking up

Sounds like you may be dealing with a muscle knot in your back. To help relieve the pain and swelling, you can try using a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (Cyclobenzaprine) along with a topical pain relief cream like Voltaren Gel (Diclofenac). Additionally, applying a heating pad to the affected area and gently massaging the muscle knot can also help to alleviate the discomfort. Make sure to avoid sleeping on the right side to prevent further aggravating the muscle. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to follow up with your GP for further evaluation and treatment.
