Question 1

I'm a bit worried about the medication my dad's been prescribed. He's got swelling in his feet, and the doctor recommended Dytor 5. But he's also dealing with sterile pyuria and a urinary tract infection, so he's on other meds for that. Now the doctor said to take Dytor 5 along with half a Cilacar 10 at night and Telma 40. I'm just not sure about these medication combinations. Is this safe to take, especially with his current UTI problems?

Accepted Answer

kk u take

Question 2

I'm thinking about taking a 2mg vitamin B6 supplement every day, but I'm a bit worried. Could that small amount cause any kind of toxicity or lead to nerve problems like neuropathy? Just want to be sure it's safe before I start. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Taking 2mg of vitamin B6 daily is generally considered safe and should not cause toxicity or neuropathy. However, long-term intake of high doses of vitamin B6 (more than 100mg per day) may lead to neurological symptoms such as neuropathy. It is important to stay within the recommended daily allowance to avoid any potential adverse effects.

Question 3

I always thought stress could make us lose weight, but is it possible for stress or anything else to actually make us shorter?

Accepted Answer

Stress doesn't directly affect height reduction. However, chronic stress can impact growth and development, particularly during childhood and adolescence. Here's why:

Why Stress Doesn't Directly Affect Height

1. Adult height is largely determined by genetics (80-90%).
2. Growth plates close naturally around age 18-25, marking the end of vertical growth.

Indirect Effects of Stress on Height

1. Hormonal imbalance: Chronic stress can disrupt hormone regulation, potentially affecting growth hormones (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
2. Malnutrition: Stress can lead to poor eating habits, nutrient deficiencies, and inadequate caloric intake, potentially impacting growth.
3. Sleep disturbances: Stress can disrupt sleep patterns, essential for growth hormone release and bone development.

2. Infectious disease screening (e.g., COVID-19, influenza)
3. Imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray, ultrasound)
4. Consider bone marrow biopsy if necessary
