I'm really worried after what happened last night I was nearly drowning in a deep pool without realizing it until I almost ran out of breath. I managed to get out with some help, but I swallowed a lot of the pool water. Initially, I was gasping for air but felt okay after about 20-30 minutes. The problem is now I'm shivering, my left arm is aching, and it seems like I'm taking fewer breaths than usual. I'm feeling super tired and looking pale too. Is this something serious, or is it a normal reaction?

I'm really worried because a street dog scratched me. Is it really necessary to get a rabies shot for just a scratch? Could it be dangerous if I don't? What should I do next?

I'm really worried because my friend accidentally gave me a duralast 30mg tablet and I took it without realizing. I'm concerned about any potential side effects or reactions I might have. Could something happen to me because of this? Please, I need some advice quickly.

Duralast 30 mg contains **dapoxetine**, typically used for specific conditions like premature ejaculation. Taking one tablet accidentally is unlikely to cause serious harm but may lead to mild side effects like nausea, dizziness, or headache. Stay hydrated, monitor yourself, and consult a doctor if you feel unwell.
