I'm really concerned about the pain I've been having in my leg muscles for the past couple of years. My blood pressure keeps fluctuating between 160110 and 12586, but I really want to avoid taking any meds for it because I think I can change my lifestyle to control it. Also, my vitamin D level is at 8.0, and I noticed my cholesterol total is 218, with LDL at 157. What steps should I take to address these issues and improve my overall health?

I've had typhoid for the past 25 days, but I'm feeling better now. I'm wondering how long I should stay away from non-veg food. Also, is it okay to get back into my regular exercise routine like hitting the gym?

I'm really worried about my dad. He took Lipaglyn 4mg for his high cholesterol as his doctor suggested, but now he's got a fever of 102F, body aches, and his throat is bothering him. We gave him Dolo last night, which brought the fever down a little to 100.5F, but this morning it's back up to 101.5F. We gave him Dolo again, but I'm not sure what else to do since it's Sunday and I can't reach a doctor. What would you suggest we do next?

Its possible that the fever and symptoms are unrelated to Lipaglyn and might be due to an infection. Continue giving Dolo as needed (every 6 hours) to manage the fever and ensure your father stays hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a doctor as soon as possible.

I've been dealing with fever and this constant tiredness for about 20 days now. I even did blood tests for malaria and typhoid, but everything came back negative. I'm not having any issues like irritation while passing urine either. I've been taking paracetamol, and it helps for a bit, but then the fever and tiredness just come back. What might be going on?
