I'm really worried about my vitamin D levels, they're really low at 7.6. I tried taking calciferol 60k, but it made me feel so sick with vomiting, severe restlessness, and even dryness and burning in my head and heart that lasted a while. Now, I'm managing to take Calcimax syrup, 5ml twice a day, but after each dose, I get heartburn and feel restless for 3-4 hours. I'm also on Polybin since my B13 is at 247, and luckily that isn't causing any issues. However, I once tried Astime syrup and ended up with a rash and swelling inside my upper lip. What should I do?

I'm worried about my height. I used to masturbate and noticed my height was increasing, but ever since I stopped, it seems like my growth has stalled. I'm 15 and only 167 cm, but my 13-year-old friends are taller, around 170 cm as measured in school. Is there any chance that this has to do with masturbation, or could it be related to my Adam's apple? I've heard that having an Adam's apple can stop height growth. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I might increase my height?

It's understandable to be concerned about your height, but there is no scientific evidence that masturbation affects height growth. Height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which typically close after puberty. The presence of an Adam's apple is a normal part of puberty and does not affect height. Focus on maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper sleep to support your growth during this period.

I've noticed my neck has been getting bigger over the past two weeks. It's not affecting my breathing or swallowing, but it is noticeable, and my family can see it too. I'm worried it might be something like a thyroid issue or a goiter since thats what my quick internet search suggested. Is there anything specific I should do, or is it okay if I send a picture for a closer look?
