I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hi dear Jamsina,
These symptoms are not enough to confirm pregnancy, because the same symptoms can also be due to stress, hormonal changes, irregular sleep, anemia, deficiencies or other health issue
To confirm pregnancy you can do 3 tests:
1. If your periods is DELAYED, take a Urine pregnancy test first.
Best done with “first morning urine “after your period is late.
If positive → you are most likely pregnant.
2. Blood test (Beta-hCG): More accurate, can detect pregnancy earlier.
3.If above tests are positive, your gynaecologist or radiologist will do ultrasound for you.
Confirms pregnancy inside the uterus (usually after 5–6 weeks from last period).
** So What You Should Do Now🛑🛑
✔️If your period is delayed, take a home pregnancy test.
✔️If it’s negative but your symptoms continue or your period still doesn’t come, repeat after 5–7 days or get a blood hCG test.
Stay healthy dear
Thank you

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

I am someone who got to work in a government setup for 1 full year, and honestly that one year felt more like 3... in a good way. It was a rotational post, which meant I had to shift across wards, ICU, OT, and even casualty — no chance to get too comfortable in one place. Every few weeks brought new responsibilities, new types of patients, and yeah, new kinds of pressure too. In casualty I saw a lot — from road traffic injuries to sudden breathlessness, fevers that wouldn’t come down, old patients just collapsing... and you don’t get time to overthink, you just act. You learn fast where to focus. I also handled geriatric OPD and that was a different kind of challenge. Older patients need more listening, more patience. Most come with multiple issues — joint pain, sugar, BP, digestion, insomnia — and sometimes they just want to talk too. You realize pretty quick that care isn’t only treatment. ICU postings taught me to stay alert all the time. Alarms don’t wait. I had to assist in serious cases, learn to track vitals, respond to sudden dips, push meds under supervision. OT experience was equally hands-on... mostly assisting but you pick up the flow of surgical steps, sterilization rules, emergency prep and post-op care that textbooks just can’t really explain. What I liked most about that whole year was the exposure — I wasn’t limited to one age group or one type of disease. From paediatric fevers to elderly fall injuries, from asthma attacks to appendicitis — saw a bit of everything. And the system might be hectic, but it teaches you how to function under pressure and still think clearly. That year gave me the kind of foundation you can’t just study. It was about real people, real-time decisions, and not just following protocol but also figuring out what works when there’s no perfect setup. Definitely made me sharper, more grounded, and honestly more ready for whatever comes next in clinical life.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am working as a rehab therapist and over the years my focus turned strongly towards kids rehab, because I feel children need a diff kind of care, patience and approach when they are struggling with conditions that limit their growth or daily activity. Many pt I see come with long history of delays, difficulty in movement, sometimes speech or motor problems, and it can be overwhelming for families. I try to design therapy in a way that is not only clinical but also practical for parents to follow at home. I have seen that combining structured rehabilitation techniques with flexible methods suited to each child bring good results, and that is something I keep repeating to myself when I plan any session. Every kid progress differently, sometimes slow sometimes suddenly fast, and in that moment my job is to keep adjusting the plan without losing sight of the bigger goal. In practice I work on exercises that strengthen mobility, balance and coordination, also focus on daily life activities like grasping, walking, or posture correction. Parents often ask me about timeline for cure but I learned to explain that rehab is less about rushing and more about sustaining. Still, I feel proud when many of my patients recover with visible improvement and even reach milestones that were earlier delayed. That satisfaction is hard to put in words, but it makes the long hours of therapy worth it. Communication is also a big part of my work, since families need reassurance, guidance and clarity at every stage. I treat each case as unique, there is no single way that fit all, and that flexibility in treatment is what I consider my strength. Mistaks happen, sometimes I change plans midway, sometimes I realise a certain method is not working and I quickly shift, but that trial and correction actually helps the child get what is best for them. My way of treatment may look simple from outside but it is rooted in consistent effort, empathy and experience with many children who trusted me in their journey.

Dr. Harini Theja

I am currently in my final year postgraduate training in MS Obstetrics and Gynecology, and this journey so far has been layered with many different kinds of experiences. My early foundation was during internship at Narayana Medical College & Hospitals, Nellore (March 2020 to March 2021). That one year was intense—handling patients in wards, assisting in emergency cases, learning how every decision no matter small has impact. Right after that I worked as a government doctor under 104 service at Palamaner, Chittoor district. It was different from medical college, resources limited, patients coming from rural backgrounds, but it taught me value of listening carefully and working with what is available. Later I also worked as online consultant with Letsdoc, where consultations were virtual. At first I doubted if online could actually work, but it showed me how important accessibility is, especially for patients who hesitate to visit hospitals or live too far. It also trained me to be precise and clear with words, since physical exam was not always possible. For the last 3 years I have been a junior resident in OBGYN, gaining real depth in managing both obstetric and gynecological cases. From antenatal checkups to managing high risk pregnancies, from normal deliveries to cesareans, I got exposure to a wide range. I also assisted and performed in gynecological surgeries and handled emergencies that arrive suddenly, like ectopic pregnancy or postpartum hemorrhage. These experiences shaped my confidence and also taught me that calmness in those moments is as important as knowledge. Now as I near the completion of my MS, I carry forward learning from each stage. My focus is not just on clinical management but also patient communication, cause women often need reassurance as much as medical treatment. Each posting and role has made me adapt, whether in rural setting, online platform, or tertiary hospital, and all together they define the doctor I am becoming.

I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

Your symptoms can suggest pregnancy but they are not conclusive.
Do a urine pregnancy test at home for quick confirmation.
For higher accuracy, a blood test (beta hCG) is recommended.
An ultrasound will confirm pregnancy and check for proper development.
If chest pain or severe headache continues, consult a doctor immediately.
Maintain proper hydration and rest, as fatigue and dizziness can worsen otherwise.
Avoid self-medication until pregnancy is confirmed to prevent any harm.
Meet a gynecologist soon to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms.

I am a doctor with MD in Anaesthesiology under RGUHS, Karnataka and right now I am working at Maulana Azad Medical College. Anaesthesia for me is not just about giving a drug and waiting for surgery to finish, it’s about guiding the patient safely through some of the most critical moments in their life. I am trained in administering general, regional and local anaesthesia across different surgical specialities, and each one require its own judgment — some cases need speed and precision, others patience and steady monitoring. My experience cover airway management, rapid sequence induction, ventilatory support, invasive monitoring and full perioperative care. I worked often in critical care settings where things change suddenly and you have to make fast decision, sometimes in seconds, to protect the patient. Airway management in particular taught me that even small details matter, like anticipating difficulty before it actually happen, because once you lose the airway everything else falls apart. Regional anaesthesia is another area I trained deeply in — spinal, epidural, nerve blocks — techniques that not only make surgery possible but also control acute pain effectively afterwards. Pain management is something I value a lot, because surgery may last hours but pain can trouble patient for days if not handled properly. Alongside clinical work, I actively participate in teaching, training juniors and being part of research projects. Academic life keep me updated and also remind me that sharing knowledge is part of medical duty. Emergency resuscitations have also been regular part of my work — situations where adrenaline runs high but you still need to stay calm, clear and systematic. 5–6 years may not sound like a long time compared to seniors with decades of practice, but each day in this field is intense, filled with cases that sharpen judgment and push you to balance science, skill and empathy. I see myself as constantly learning while also making sure every patient under my care gets safe anaesthesia and careful follow up.

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Hello Jasmina,
I understand your worry and concern. This might be giving anxiety to you. I’m here to help.
Firstly, get a Urine Pregnancy Test done. Get a “UPT kit” from a medical store and test at home. If it comes positive, then get an Ultrasound done, after that we’ll see what we can do.
If it comes negative, kindly provide more details about you - Your Last period date ? Any illnesses or medications that you’re taking ?
We might even have to undergo some investigations after confirming that you’re not pregnant. Get your BP checked, and get done a simple ECG as you’re having chest pain and headache.
Else, feel free to reach out anytime.
Regards,
Dr. Nirav Jain
MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

These symptoms can happen in early pregnancy, but they can also occur with hormonal imbalance, gastric issues, anemia, infection, or even stress—so they are not specific to pregnancy. The only way to know is to do a urine pregnancy test with first-morning urine or a blood β-hCG test. Please also consult a gynecologist since chest pain, severe headache, or abdominal pain should not be ignored and may need immediate medical evaluation.

Dr. Aarav Deshmukh

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

To determine whether you’re pregnant, the most direct and reliable approach is to take a home pregnancy test. These tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone that’s typically present in your urine when you’re pregnant, and can provide accurate results when taken after a missed period. If the test is positive, it’s a strong indicator of pregnancy, though it should be followed up with a visit to your healthcare provider for confirmation through a blood test or an ultrasound. Regarding your symptoms, while dizziness, nausea, fatigue, headaches, and abdominal and back pain can be associated with early pregnancy, they are non-specific and may also be related to other conditions like infections, hormonal imbalances, or stress. Given the chest pain, it’s vital to evaluate this symptom carefully, as it could indicate a different medical issue that requires immediate attention, especially if it’s severe or accompanied by other symptoms like shortness of breath or radiating pain. If chest pain persists or worsens, seek medical care promptly. To further assess your symptoms, consider keeping a detailed record of what you’re experiencing, including when each symptom occurs and any potential triggers or alleviating factors. This can be very useful for a healthcare professional in diagnosing the underlying cause. Ensure you’re getting adequate rest, hydration, and nutrition, as these can influence your overall well-being. If your home pregnancy test results are inconclusive or if you prefer, scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider can help clarify your condition and provide appropriate care and guidance.
