I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. So yesterday, right after I left work, I started sweating a lot, and then I got super hungry and felt really weak. I bought some peanuts to eat, but swallowing them was tough, you know? I just felt so tired. I managed to drive about a kilometer, but then I wasn't feeling right, so I stopped at a shop and had some mosambi juice. I'm around 68 kg in weight and 54 in height, and I've been swimming like three to four days a week for the last couple of months. My office is about 45 km from home, and I usually drive there. My work hours are from around 10:30 in the morning until about 9 at night. I'm just trying to understand what's going on with me. Any idea what the issue might be?

Your symptoms of sudden sweating, hunger, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue, especially after a long day at work and a 45km drive, could be indicative of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dehydration, or exhaustion, possibly exacerbated by your intense swimming routine and long working hours, so consider consulting a md medicine to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss strategies for managing your energy levels and overall well-being.

I'm really struggling because I had my tubes tied 8 years ago, and now I can't afford IVF or anything like that. I'm just wondering if there are any over-the-counter hormone pills that could help me get pregnant. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been told I have a Vitamin D level of 12 ngml. I'm currently using Calcerol sachets as a supplement once each week. Is this the right choice, and how long should I continue with it?

Your Vitamin D level is low at 12 ngml. Taking Calcerol sachets once a week is a suitable supplement to increase your Vitamin D levels. You can continue taking Calcerol sachets once a week for at least 8-12 weeks to see an improvement in your Vitamin D levels. After that, your doctor may recommend a maintenance dose to keep your Vitamin D levels within the normal range.
