Hi Doctor, I am 41 now. I am taking one tablet of Telmikind-CT40 daily in morning from past 8 years now. Also I am taking Triglynase-1 for diabetes for past 9 months. Currently my BP hovers at 120/80 to 130/90 whenever measured in morning. Though my sugar levels never comes good, mostly 135-180 in fasting. But Random for after breakfast also it is 150-200 only at most times despite taking the medication. The issue is I feel tired very much, sleep is inconsistent. I am a drinker (180 - 240 ml/night) this sometimes help me sleep. I think too much on each issue (my professional life has very little to no stress, but personal life has some stress elements). Please help me get out of this tiredness (weight-67 Kgs. / Height 5.6 in) (Diet - Non-veg (chicken or egg 4-5 times a week)) (Physical Activity/exercise - none)

Ans: Hi. You have both diabetes and hypertension at young age. I would suggest you to undergo detailed medical check up including kidney function test to know the cause of tiredness. Drinking daily with such large quantities is not advisable. Kindly refrain from that and make it occasional. Keeping the sugars and BP under strict control is of utmost importance.

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
