Hi. I am married man and turned 43 recently. In my recent health check up, all reports were ok. But, I've observed that I get tired in the evening when I come home. I've office work only , even then I get tired now. Earlier it was not the case. Now when I play with my 1.5 year old daughter or, do some extensive physical work, I feel exhausted and tired. May be age factor. Your guidance please.

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
In your reports are your D3 and B12 levels ok?
Are you taking any vitamin or magnesium supplements?
Are you doing any kind of exercises especially a cardio workout?
Yes, after 40 the body does undergo changes and fatigue too hence post 40 it becomes even more crucial to take more care of our body. Usually some form of pranayama/breathwork helps a lot to reduce fatigue. Please learn some simple pranayamas' from a good yoga teacher and once you come home do them for 15 minutes and take a shower. Both can help in reducing fatigue and energizing you.
All the best!

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.

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
