I am a 27 year old male with functional dyspepsia. Most foods upset me, so I have to follow a restricted diet. I am under treatment, but the medicines do not help much. If I do not take a short sleep between 1 and 4 p.m., I develop headaches, forehead pain, and eye pain, which prevents me from studying in the evening. If I take a one hour nap, these problems do not occur, but it affects my nighttime sleep. It is not possible to nap during the day because I have to attend college. All my blood reports are normal. Please suggest a solution?

Functional dyspepsia can cause fatigue and discomfort. Afternoon headaches may be due to tiredness, screen strain, or poor sleep. Try 10 to 15 minutes of quiet rest post lunch instead of sleeping. Maintain a fixed sleep schedule, avoid screens before bed, eat light meals, and stay hydrated. If symptoms persist, check for vitamin deficiencies.

Question

I have been suffering from hand tremors and muscle weakness, which affect my ability to perform daily tasks. My hands shake a lot, causing me embarrassment, and this has been happening since I was around 14 to 15 years old. A doctor advised hormonal tests, and my report shows the following: S.Free T4 is 1.09 ng per dl (Reference range 0.8 to 2.0) S.TSH (Ultrasensitive) is 2.4 uIU per ml (Reference range 0.4 to 4.5) Active Vitamin B12 (HoloTc) is 36 pmol per L (Reference range 30 to 165) Are these test results normal? Is my report normal? Also, what could be the actual cause of my hand tremors and muscle weakness?

Question

Hi doctor, I have been experiencing knee joint pain for the past six months. I feel pain mainly while running and climbing stairs. Initially, the pain was more severe, but it has now reduced, although there is still some discomfort. I consulted an orthopaedic specialist earlier and had an X ray done, which came back normal. He prescribed some pain relief medication, which helped reduce the pain. The issue started after I followed a strict healthy diet for two months. My recent blood report is also normal. Please suggest what I should do next.
