I've been feeling really tired for weeks and have been sleeping like 12 hours or more sometimes. I thought it might just be a winter bug going around, but today I got really sick and cant even keep water down. Then this dry cough showed up and I've noticed dark hairs, some long and some short, with different thicknesses. I've been collecting them in a tissue because it's freaking me out and I'm scared this could be something serious. What do you think is going on?

Given your symptoms of lethargy, excessive sleeping, sudden nausea and vomiting, dry cough, and the alarming presence of dark hairs, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention, as these symptoms could be indicative of a serious underlying condition, such as a gastrointestinal issue, hormonal imbalance, or even a psychological disorder

I've been dealing with a running nose and fever for the last few days, and now I've got a sore throat and cough since last night. These seem like symptoms of viral fever, right? Can you recommend any homemade remedies? The weather here is terrible, so I can't get to a doctor.

I recommend taking over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen for fever and sore throat. You can also try using honey and lemon for your sore throat. Additionally, steam inhalation can help with your runny nose and cough. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've been having this muscle pain around my chest for a while now. I think it might be a muscle tear from sleeping in a bad position. There's no breathlessness, just pain. Do you think it's anything serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain in your chest, possibly due to a muscle tear from sleeping in the wrong posture. Since you are not experiencing breathlessness, it is less likely to be related to any serious cardiac issues. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
