I'm experiencing a bit of a strange sensationwhenever I cough, I feel a slight pain in my chest bone. It's not with every cough, just sometimes. I don't have any allergies and I don't smoke or drink, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on it?

I've been taking Practin 4mg and now I feel like I'm sleeping all day. Is this going to make me weak or damage my health?

Taking Practic (4mg) might make you feel sleepy and cause you to sleep for extended periods, but short-term use is unlikely to cause significant weakness or health issues. However, prolonged use or disrupted sleep patterns can lead to fatigue, so its important to manage how and when you use it

Hey, I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. My wife and I, both 35, went through mild Covid symptoms recently and thankfully, we're negative nowit's been about three weeks. During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.
