These symptoms may be linked to nerve irritation, skin related issue or due to deficiency of Vitamin D. Since blood reports are normal, a neurological or dermatological check up would help.

Question

I was diagnosed with COVID 19 and have completed 17 days of home quarantine with medication. My latest test report is now negative. However, for the past week, I have been experiencing bloating after normal meals, making my stomach feel unusually full. Sometimes this is accompanied by low energy and brief episodes of breathlessness, which then return to normal after a while. Could you please advise what might be causing this and guide me on what to do next?

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.
