I accidentally took some medicine meant for acidity issues, but I realized afterward that it expired about three years ago. Should I be worried about any side effects or problems because of this?

Microfacture Surgery and Height Increase*
- Microfacture surgery: This procedure is typically used to repair cartilage defects, not to increase height.
- Shin bone (tibia) lengthening: This is a separate surgical procedure, often performed using external fixation devices or internal lengthening nails.
- Height increase: The amount of height increase achievable through surgery varies depending on individual factors, such as bone health, age, and overall health.
Timeline for 1 cm Height Increase
The timeline for a 1 cm height increase through surgery can vary significantly. Here are some general guidelines:
- Pre-surgical preparation: 1-3 months
- Surgery and initial recovery: 2-6 months
- Lengthening process: 2-6 months (depending on the method used)
- Consolidation and rehabilitation: 6-12 months
Please note that these timeframes are approximate and can vary depending on individual circumstances.

View allI've been dealing with some really bad stomach and chest pain for the past four days. Sometimes I even feel dizzy, and its kind of scary because it seems like the left side of my body goes numb. Plus, my breast seems to be swelling up. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. The combination of stomach pain, chest pain, dizziness, numbness on the left side, and breast enlargement could indicate a serious medical condition such as a heart attack or other cardiac issues. Please go to the nearest emergency room or call emergency services for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm having trouble finding Silybon 140 that was prescribed for me to take three times a day. Would it be okay if I instead take two doses of Silybon 70, also three times a day? I'm a bit worried about making sure I get the right amount of medication.
-Yes, you can use two Silybon 70 tablets three times a day as a substitute for Silybon 140, as the total dosage will be the same. However, it's always best to confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes.
