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?

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.

I'm really worried about this pain I've been having. I fell on my left side while trying to stop a cricket ball, and now I'm feeling a lot of pain near my lower left rib cage, especially when I'm moving around, walking, or even just turning in my sleep. It's been about 5 days now, and I'm getting concerned that I might have injured my spleen or if it's just a muscle tear. Could you shed some light on what this might be?

It sounds like you may have strained the muscles around your lower left rib cage, especially since the pain worsens with movement. While a spleen injury could cause pain in the area, its less likely unless there's significant trauma, such as a direct blow. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor for an evaluation.

I'm a 33-year-old male, and I'm trying to figure out if it's okay for me to start taking workout supplements to help get in better shape. My blood pressure is usually around 11773, and my heart rate sits around 75. I want to lose some weight and hit the gym more seriously. Do you think supplements would be a good idea for me?

You can consider taking a pre-workout supplement to enhance your workout performance. One option is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Pre-Workout, which can be taken 20-30 minutes before exercise.

I'm having some trouble with my shoulder when I throw a cricket ball. It actually hurts a lot, and for about five minutes, it feels like my hand isnt even connected to my body. I'm not sure whats going on. Could you give me some advice on what I should do about this?

The shoulder pain and temporary numbness or disconnection sensation in your hand after throwing a cricket ball may indicate a shoulder injury, such as a rotator cuff strain or shoulder impingement, or possible nerve compression; consider consulting a sports medicine specialist or physiotherapist for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, apply the RICE principle: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation to alleviate symptom
