Question 1

I'm really into my morning walks, and I've been gradually increasing my distance to about 22.5 kms. But lately, I've noticed I'm super exhausted by the time I get home, and sometimes I'm just drowsy all day. I've even caught myself dozing off during travel. This has been going on for about a month. Any idea why this might be happening or how I could fix it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing fatigue and drowsiness due to physical exertion. You may benefit from taking a supplement like Vitamin B12 to help boost your energy levels. I recommend taking a Vitamin B12 supplement with a dosage of 1000 mcg daily. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated before, during, and after your walk. If the symptoms persist, it would be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

You've taken the right steps:

1. _Cooling the burn_: Running the burn under cold water, then ice water, helped reduce the temperature and ease pain.
2. _Ice compresspack_: Applying something cold has helped numb the pain.

_Current situation:_

1. _Pain persistence_: The throbbingstinging pain, even after 24 hours, indicates the burn is likely deeper than initially thought.
2. _Cold relief_: The fact that cold compresses provide relief suggests the burn is still inflamed.

_Recommended next steps:_

1. _Seek medical attention_: Visit a doctor or a burn specialist to assess the burn's depth and provide proper treatment.
2. _Topical creamsointments_: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection.
3. _Pain management_: Your doctor can recommend pain management options, such as pain relievers or nerve blocks.
4. _Wound care_: Proper wound care, including dressing changes and antibiotic ointments, can help promote healing and prevent infection.
