Real answers to real health questions
You keep spotting blue-black marks but don't remember bumping into anything. Most of the time it's thin skin, age or a common medicine — but a few patterns are worth showing a doctor.
Spotted a few greys too early and tempted to pluck them or drown your scalp in oil? Most early greying is in your genes — but a quiet B12 or thyroid problem can hide behind it, and that's fixable.
You wake up soaked, the sheet damp, the mind racing with worst-case fears. Most night sweats are harmless — but a few warning signs tell you exactly when to stop guessing and see a doctor.
A constant metallic or bitter taste isn't 'pet ki garmi' — it usually has a real, findable cause, often a new medicine, your gums or acid reflux. The good news: most reasons are simple and fixable.
Stiff, swollen finger joints every morning that take an hour to loosen aren't always 'just age'. One clue — how long the stiffness lasts — can tell wear-and-tear from something to show a doctor early.
That 3 p.m. slump after rice and roti isn't just 'a full stomach'. It's mostly your blood sugar spiking and crashing — and a few small changes can keep you awake all afternoon.
Persistent tingling or numbness in both hands and feet is often not one trapped nerve — it can be your sugar, B12 or thyroid quietly speaking. A few simple blood tests usually tell the real story.
Running to the toilet every hour isn't always 'just too much water.' Sometimes it's your body's quiet signal — and a simple test usually tells you exactly what's going on.
A white patch on the tongue or cheek can be a harmless fungus that wipes off — or a tobacco-linked patch that won't. A simple wipe test tells you which one needs a doctor now.
