I'm really curious about the BSFPP blood test that my doctor mentioned. I know it's important to fast before some blood tests, but I'm not exactly sure how long I need to fast for this one. Could you let me know how many hours I should be fasting for a BSFPP blood test? I'm a bit worried about getting it right.

Ideally 6 hrs of gap would help for fasting sample and 90mins after food for postlinch sample

View allI've been feeling really sleepy whenever I take Dolo 650. Is it known to make you drowsy? What can I do to help reduce this drowsiness?
Dolo 650 (paracetamol) typically doesn't cause sleepiness, but some people may experience drowsiness as a side effect. To reduce sleepiness, try taking the medication with food and avoid activities that require full attention until you feel alert again. If the drowsiness persists, consider consulting your doctor for alternatives.

I'm a bit worried about my recent health situation. Over the last three days, I've noticed that I feel like my head is spinning whenever I'm trying to go to sleep. I checked my blood pressure at home using our Omron digital auto BP machine, and it seems to be consistently within the same range. On top of that, I'm already on medication for thyroid, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and Telday 40. Do you think these symptoms are related to my current medications or should I be concerned about something else?
Given your wife's symptoms of dizziness and head spinning, especially when sleeping, and considering her pre-existing conditions of thyroid, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypertension (with BP consistently in the same range), it's essential to consult her primary care physician or a specialist to adjust her medications, particularly Telday 40, and investigate potential causes such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or medication interactions.
