I'm really not that great at English, so bear with me. Anyway, about five days ago, I started feeling this chest tightness and had a lump-in-the-throat kind of feeling. I checked online and decided to drink a bottle of Smirnoff Mule vodkait works as my soda substitute. It helped a bit, though I could still feel a bit of tightness, but not as bad as before. So now, three days later, I'm feeling this discomfort in my lower left rib cage and my back, but there's no pain when I press on the area, and it disappeared after 24 hours. Right now, it's more about discomfort on the left side of my throat when I swallow, near my Adam's apple. I haven't had a fever since last week, either. Could you guide me on where I might be able to have a general check-up around the BGC or Pembo Makati area?

I'm trying to find out what's the right dose of Zentel deworming tablets for adults and how often I should be taking them. Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of? This whole deworming thing makes me a bit anxious. Could you please guide me?

The ideal dose of Zentel (brand name for albendazole) deworming tablets for adults is 400mg as a single dose. It is usually taken once, and may be repeated after 2 weeks if necessary. Some possible side effects of albendazole include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, and temporary hair loss.

I'm really worried about some health issues I've been having lately. Over the past few weeks, I've lost weight pretty quickly, dropping from 81.2kg on January 1st to 73.3kg by January 26th. I've also been dealing with nerve pull pain in my chest. I've had tests done like ECG, Echo, CT scan, and X-ray, but nothing's been diagnosed. For a few days, I felt okay, but now I'm dealing with gas, chest pain, a cough, headaches, and the weight loss is still happening. I get tired really easily and had night sweats one night, plus I sometimes get palpitations. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should my next steps be?

I've been dealing with a fever for a couple of days, along with a cough and a cold. I started by taking Crocin Advance, but then switched to taking Nicip Plus. I feel a little better, but I'm still feeling kind of feverish. Is there anything else I should be doing or taking, or do I just need a bit more time to recover?

Increasing height after growth plates have closed (around 18-25 years old) is challenging. Available medications and supplements claim to increase height, but their effectiveness and safety are questionable: 1. _Growth hormone injections_: Only prescribed for growth hormone deficiencies, not for general height increase. 2. _Ashwagandha_: May help with overall health, but no conclusive evidence supports its height-increasing claims. 3. _Speed Height capsules_: Lack scientific evidence and may contain untested ingredients. Consult a healthcare professional or an endocrinologist for personalized advice. They can help you: 1. Assess your growth potential 2. Identify underlying growth-related issues 3. Discuss safe and evidence-based options
