View allI'm experiencing something odd when I go to the bathroom. Occasionally, I find myself short of breath while I'm urinating. It's not a constant issueit last happened about five months ago, and it's only occurred a few times in total. I don't have any medical history that might explain this. Could you give me some idea of what might be causing this and what remedies I might try? Also, if you think I should see a specialist, what kind of doctor would be best to consult?
Shortness of breath during urination can occasionally happen due to a vagal nerve response, anxiety, or even bladder issues. If it's infrequent and no other symptoms exist, it's usually harmless. However, consult a urologist or general physician to rule out underlying causes like prostate or cardiovascular concerns.

I've been using Himalaya Confido tablets twice a day like you suggested, and I'm just wondering, will these actually help with increasing the size?

While it may help with overall wellness, it is unlikely to directly increase the size. If you're concerned about any specific results, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your doctor for more personalized advice.
