My body posture seems off and my chest looks a bit like breasts. What can I do to fix this and which specialist should I see? Could this affect my chances of joining the Indian Army through technical entry? Is surgery required to correct this?

Chest appearance and posture may indicate gynecomastia or scoliosis—consult a plastic surgeon or orthopedic specialist for diagnosis and Army eligibility.

I'm a bit concerned after getting my package test results from Thyrocare. It seems like my lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels are pretty high, and my CBC impression mentioned something about being hypochromic. I'm not really sure who I should reach out to for guidance on this. Could you point me in the right direction?
You should consult a General Physician for further evaluation and management of your high lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels, as well as the hypochromic impression on your CBC. For high lipoprotein levels, you may be prescribed statins like Atorvastatin (10-20 mg) to lower cholesterol levels. For high C-reactive protein levels, you may be prescribed NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (400-800 mg) to reduce inflammation. For hypochromic CBC findings, you may be prescribed iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) to treat iron deficiency anemia.
