Hello Doctor
I am 151 cms and 61 kgs.
I have not had any medical illness histrory .
I had my haemotology test done a couple of months back which was alright.
I have been feeling low on a regular basis but as i was not involved in much regular physical activity I did not face much issues but now that I have started swimming I realised that I really lack in stamina and also, my immunity is low as I have been catching cold much often.
Hair fall has been regular since last few years but has been drastic since I have started swimming. It is like a handful of hair everyday and whenver I wash my hair the quantity doubles.
I have dark circles and have no glow face, which is really making me worried now.
I shall be grateful for your advice to improve my health condition.
regards,XXXX

Hello XXXX
It is good to know you do not have any medical illness.
Yes, according to your weight and height you are overweight.
For swimming you have to put physical effort which can cause tiredness and you have started recently. .
If you have not done vitamin B12, Vitamin d test and thyroid then I suggest you get it done.
If you already done and tests were normal then no need to go for tests.
I suggest you multivitamin medication once a day after lunch for 2 months.
If you are feeling tired with swimming I suggest you go for alternative exercises to reduce weight.
Hair fall: It is increased may be due swimming pool chlorinated water.
If you have dandruff I suggest you use anti dandruff shampoo.
I suggest you MINTOP 2% apply twice a day and gradually you can increase to 5%. You should use it at least 3 months for better results. If you see better results you can continue 3 more months. No side effects.
Eat healthy diet like fruits, vegetables, nuts, oats and poultry food.
Eat small meals frequently. Avoid heavy meals before bed.
Drink plenty of water.
Restrict coffee and tea.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
