I'm having trouble sleeping and it's really starting to stress me out. Can you give me some advice on how to get a good night's rest? I'd appreciate any help you can offer!

I understand your desire to increase your height. However, it's essential to understand that height growth is largely determined by genetics and hormone regulation during puberty.
Age and Height Growth
At 19 years old, your growth plates have likely closed, making it more challenging to increase your height significantly.
Realistic Expectations
While it's unlikely to grow 3 inches (5'7" to 5'10") at your age, you can focus on maintaining good posture, exercising regularly, and ensuring adequate nutrition to support overall health.
Tips for Optimal Posture and Health
- Exercise regularly: Focus on stretching, yoga, or Pilates to improve flexibility and posture.
- Maintain good posture: Be mindful of your posture throughout the day, avoiding slouching or leaning.
- Eat a balanced diet: Ensure you're getting adequate nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, and protein.
- Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to support overall health.

View allI'm trying to understand the meds I'm taking. My doctor first gave me Etilaam Pro 20 for my anxiety for about 20 days, and when I went back after 15 days, he switched me to Recita Forte for 10 days. Are these two medicines basically the same and used for the same purpose?

I've been feeling short of breath sometimes, and my doctor said it's due to anxiety. He put me on Doxolin tablets, which I take twice a day. I'm curious if taking Doxolin is really necessary or beneficial since the breathlessness is because of anxiety, and not an actual respiratory issue. Is it common to use Doxolin in cases like this? Could it have any side effects I should be aware of?
Doxolin, likely a variant of Doxepin, is an antidepressant and anxiolytic, which can help alleviate anxiety-related shortness of breath; taking Doxolin tablets as prescribed by your doctor should help manage your anxiety symptoms, including shortness of breath, without significant side effects, but monitor your breathing, mood, and overall well-being

I'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
