View allI've been feeling pretty anxious for the past couple of weeks, and my doctor put me on Trika 0.25 along with some meds for GERD and throat issues. I've only taken it for two days, but I'm noticing dizziness, giddiness, and mild weakness during the day. Should I stop taking Trika 0.25 mg, or if I should keep going, could you let me know for how long?
Yes discontinue as soon as possible. It has many side effects like dizziness, weakness, fatigue body Giddiness etc

I've been feeling my pulse all over my body, even when I touch my fingers, it's like I can feel it everywhere. Even when I'm lying down to sleep, I notice this pulsing in my head. On top of that, I keep having these sudden involuntary muscle jerks, they happen all over, including my head, hands, and legs, even when I'm trying to sleep. I have a lot of anxiety, and I end up worrying too much about my health. I often find myself searching online and getting even more anxious after reading things. Can you tell me if these symptoms might be related to anxiety, or is there something else I should be concerned about? I've already had an ECG done, and that came back normal.
Visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management,as it looks like generalised anxiety disorder

I'm in a bit of a pickleI need to take a break from work for about three weeks next month. The issue is, it's for exam prep, but I can't really tell my boss that. I'm kind of stuck because I need a medical certificate for this leave. Is there a legit way to get a medical certificate for this kind of situation? I'm feeling pretty stressed about it. Would love some advice!
Greenish stools can be normal in breastfed babies, but in formula-fed babies, it might indicate a change in gut bacteria or a reaction to the formula. Possible reasons for greenish stools include: 1. *Introduction of a new food or formula*: This can alter the gut microbiome, leading to changes in stool color. 2. *Foremilk-hindmilk imbalance*: If the baby is not getting enough hindmilk (rich in fat), it can cause greenish stools. 3. *Gastrointestinal infection*: Although less common, a viral or bacterial infection can cause changes in stool color. *Changing Formula* Before switching formulas, consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. They can help determine if a formula change is necessary. If you do switch to Nan Pro, monitor your baby's stool color, consistency, and overall health. Some babies may take time to adjust to a new formula.
