View allI've been having some weird symptoms and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. So yesterday, right after I left work, I started sweating a lot, and then I got super hungry and felt really weak. I bought some peanuts to eat, but swallowing them was tough, you know? I just felt so tired. I managed to drive about a kilometer, but then I wasn't feeling right, so I stopped at a shop and had some mosambi juice. I'm around 68 kg in weight and 54 in height, and I've been swimming like three to four days a week for the last couple of months. My office is about 45 km from home, and I usually drive there. My work hours are from around 10:30 in the morning until about 9 at night. I'm just trying to understand what's going on with me. Any idea what the issue might be?
Your symptoms of sudden sweating, hunger, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue, especially after a long day at work and a 45km drive, could be indicative of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dehydration, or exhaustion, possibly exacerbated by your intense swimming routine and long working hours, so consider consulting a md medicine to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss strategies for managing your energy levels and overall well-being.

I'm 17 and weigh around 72 kg. I've been dealing with what looks like male breasts for about three years, and it's really starting to bother me. I'm not sure if it's gynecomastia or just chest fat, but surgery isn't something I want to consider. Is there any medication or other solutions I could try to help with this? I'm feeling pretty embarrassed and would really appreciate any advice you can give.
it's normal in puberty, do exercise
