Question 1

I'm 19 and I've noticed my head feels hot in the mornings and evenings, but I don't have a fever. My temperature usually reads between 97.6 and 98.5, but I often get headaches in the evening and sometimes lose my appetite. What could be causing these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Possible Causes*

1. *Dehydration*: Insufficient fluid intake can cause headaches and hot sensations.
2. *Stress and anxiety*: Tension can lead to headaches and hot flashes.
3. *Hormonal changes*: Fluctuations in hormone levels can cause hot sensations and headaches.
4. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, or magnesium can contribute to headaches and hot sensations.
5. *Environmental factors*: Exposure to heat, humidity, or pollution can cause discomfort.

*Next Steps*

1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
2. *Maintain a balanced diet*: Ensure you're getting essential nutrients.
3. *Manage stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, exercise, or deep breathing.

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some slight pain in my lower left rib area for the past 10 days. It's mostly noticeable when I lie down on my bed for a few seconds. It doesn't feel like the rib bones themselves are hurting, but more like something underneath or nearby them. I've never smoked and haven't had any lung issues in the past, but I did have COVID about a year ago. Do you think this could be something related to my lungs or heart?

Accepted Answer

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm a bit puzzled about something. My Alkaline phosphatase level came back at 135. I've never had alcohol and I'm not experiencing any digestive or stomach problems. Is this level something I should be concerned about, or is it considered normal?

Accepted Answer

In summary, 135 IUL is not necessarily abnormal, but it's worth monitoring in consultation with your healthcare provider if you have any other symptoms or health concerns

I've been having a mild fever around 99F, a stuffy nose, a little cough, and feeling a bit tired. I've been taking paracetamol and cozyplus for it, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do or if this is something to worry about?

Alright, take rest and drink water adequately.
