Which exercise is best for irregular periods?

Exercise is an effective way to maintain a healthy weight. Because being overweight can cause irregular periods, reducing weight may make periods more regular. Any kind of aerobic exercise, walking, jogging, running, yoga are good. What's important is to have a regular exercise, not the type of exercise.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and recently my blood pressure was at 10060. My local doctor prescribed me Nicardia Retard 10mg, and I took it every morning for about 18 days. After that, I started experiencing some issues like heart palpitations, more sweating, and even fainting, so I decided to stop taking it. I'm really worried now. Could these side effects have any impact on my baby, both while I'm still pregnant and after the birth?

Yes stop taking thta medcine and visit your doctor for appropriate management

I've been in a situation where I had unprotected sex recently, and I'm wondering if it's okay to take the i-pill again. I used it last on June 22nd, so would taking it today be alright? I'm just anxious about using it twice in one month.

yeah it's safe to take 2nd pill within in a month
