I'm a 28-year-old guy managing my blood pressure with amlodipine and nebicard 2.5. Lately, I've been dealing with vertigo, and after an MRI, the neurologist said I'm fine and just gave me some spinfree tabs. He also noted that my vitamin D level is 64 nmolL and recommended a mega dose of 600,000 IU intramuscularly once a month for three months. Prior to this, I was on a 60,000 IU weekly regimen for three months, then reduced to once a month for two months. Ever since starting the 600,000 IU injections, I've been feeling like my heart's racing and I'm getting sweaty all over. Is it safe for me to continue these high-dose vitamin D injections given that I have high blood pressure and a 2mm kidney stone that I'm hoping to pass with lots of water? Just feeling a bit uneasy since my doctor is a neurologist, not a cardiologist.

I'm a bit worried about my mom since she's diabetic. If she ever needs it, can she take ORS safely without any issues? With everything so uncertain these days, I'm just trying to be cautious.

Yes, it is generally safe for your mother to take ORS if needed, as it helps to rehydrate and replenish lost electrolytes. However, since she is diabetic, it's important to choose an ORS with low sugar content and monitor her blood sugar levels closely during use. Always consult her doctor for personalized advice.

What are the side effects for metformin?

Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, weakness, or a metallic taste in the mouth may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctort promptly. If stomach symptoms return later (after taking the same dose for several days or weeks), tell your doctor right away.
