My BP is normally @135/75 with @ 62 as heart beat. i consume @4 ltrs of water . Of late i feel very exhausted especially when i claim the stairs or walk. my total calories intake per day is 1800 cals -fully veg with a protein of @ 75 gms . What would be the reason for my exhaustion and how can i get over it.? please help

Ans: It is possible that while you are consuming as per the daily needs but the distribution of the meals and calories are irregular. May consult a dietitian.
Also, increase fruits and vegetables in diet. Get Vit D and B12 and LFT and Thyroid Function testing done and you may benefit from some micronutrient and vitamin supplement.
I am not a big supporter of vitamin supplement but in your case, it seems those may benefit.

Hello Dr... I am 46 years old moderately built with a weight of 92 kgs, 5' 11", and a waist size of 40 inches (slightly obese). No Diabetes, BP, or any other lifestyle diseases. Slightly higher levels of LDL and good HDL. I have a history of CVT and I have been on warfarin for 12 years and my PT INR levels are between 1.8 to 2. I am a vegetarian with discipline in eating at the right intervals - 8 am, 1 pm, and 6:30 pm daily. I am moderately alcoholic once a month with a couple of beers or any hot drink with a limit of 2 drinks only during gatherings or parties. I am trying to lose weight and from last month, I started doing warmup exercises in the early morning for 45 mins along with Suryanamaskars and Pranayam (for which I had taken training during my childhood. In the evening I walk for 30-40 min 2.5-3.5 km. My problem is that after started working out since one month, I feel extremely sleepy between 1:30 to 2:30 pm (after lunch and take a nap of 15 min). And again I feel extremely sleepy between 5:30 to 6:30 which is forcing me to take a nap for 15-20 min. Both the times I get into sound sleep and snore as my wife complains. Night I go to bed at 10:30 and get up at early morning 4:45 but do not snore. Is this related to any underlying health issues that I need to get tested?
Ans: There are a few issues which can be noted:
1. Please increase your night sleep time to around 7 to 8 hours.
2. Consult a dietitian to work on reducing weight.
3. There should not be any reason that you have day time snoring but not in night time. It might be linked to day time sleeping posture. However, in general people who are obese more likely to snore. You can consult a sleep medicine specialist to get this worked out.
4. Eat fruits and vegetables in the diet. Vitamin D, B12 and E supplementation for shorter duration may help you in feeling revitalised, provided you may have deficiency.

Hi sir my son is in 10th now he opts for iit and it woukd be challenging so i jave suggested him to go with bits and iiit too. In this case what are exams he has to go through At the same time he has taken kannada as 2nd language in 10th and wants to opt sanskrit in 11th and 12th for scoring purpose will be a wise decision as we have a option to answer the paper in english to please advise
Ans: For a 10th grade student aspiring to join IIT, BITS, and IIITs, understanding the complete examination roadmap and making strategic language choices is crucial for maximizing overall academic performance. Regarding language selection, switching from Kannada to Sanskrit in Classes 11 and 12 offers compelling advantages for scoring purposes. Sanskrit consistently demonstrates superior scoring potential compared to regional languages, with 2,758 students achieving perfect 100 marks in Sanskrit during recent CBSE examinations, significantly higher than other languages. Educational experts confirm Sanskrit's reputation as a "scoring and simple subject" with compact syllabi, straightforward question patterns, and high success rates, as evidenced by Karnataka students historically choosing Sanskrit for easy scoring compared to Kannada, English, or Hindi. The Sanskrit examination format includes multiple-choice questions with given options, fill-in-the-blank grammatical forms, and structured essay questions—all conducive to higher marks with proper preparation. Additionally, Sanskrit papers can be answered in English in many examination systems, eliminating language barriers while maintaining the scoring advantages. The strategic benefit extends beyond board examinations, as Sanskrit knowledge proves valuable for competitive examinations like UPSC, where it's considered among the most scoring optional subjects.

Recommendation: Your son should proceed with JEE Main and Advanced preparation while registering for BITSAT and researching IIIT-specific entrance examinations like UGEE. Switching to Sanskrit in Classes 11 and 12 is strategically wise given its consistent high-scoring potential, simplified examination patterns, and compatibility with English-medium answering, ultimately supporting his overall academic percentage crucial for engineering admission success. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
