I'm really worried because my sister has been craving and eating slate pencils for about 6 months now. I'm concerned about whether this could harm her health. Is there a way we can help her reduce these cravings? How can we check if there's already been any damage? Would love to get some guidance on this.

View allI've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days now. I saw a doctor who prescribed me Devon and Benalgis, one each daily, but I'm still having the same problem. Plus, my blood pressure was pretty low at that time, like 8070. The burning sensation comes and goes, it's not constant throughout the day. Any ideas on what else might be going on or what I should do next?

I'm dealing with this phlegm in my chest for quite a while now, even though I don't have a cough. It's super annoying, especially when I'm eating, and it's making me feel like I'm going to vomit, sometimes to the point where I end up losing all the food I just ate. What could be causing this? Should I be worried, and what can I do to get rid of it?
