Dr. Prasannajeet Singh Shekhawat
I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello Aap jo mehsoos kar rahi hain—thakan, sharir mein dard, chakkar, padhai mein man na lagna, aur periods ka late hona—yeh sab ek dusre se jude ho sakte hain. UPSC ki tayari ke dauraan stress, lifestyle changes, aur lambe samay tak baith kar padhna bhi health ko affect kar sakta hai.

Aapke symptoms ka duration (6 mahine se zyada) aur severity (severe) ko dekhte hue, kuch important cheezein hain jo dhyaan deni chahiye:

### Sambhavit Karan 1. Stress aur Anxiety: UPSC ki tayari mein pressure zyada hota hai, jo sharirik aur maansik dono tarah se asar karta hai. 2. Nutritional Deficiency: Lambe samay tak sahi diet na lena, ya exercise na karna, iron, vitamin D, ya B12 ki kami ho sakti hai. 3. Hormonal Imbalance: Periods ka late hona, fatigue, aur body pain thyroid ya PCOS jaise hormonal issues ki wajah se bhi ho sakta hai. 4. Lifestyle Factors: Lambe samay tak ek hi jagah baithna, kam physical activity, aur neend ki kami bhi dard aur thakan ka kaaran ho sakte hain.

### Kya Karna Chahiye? 1. Doctor se Milen: Aapko ek general physician ya gynecologist se consult karna chahiye. Wo aapka physical exam karenge aur zarurat pade toh kuch blood tests (CBC, thyroid, vitamin D, B12, iron, sugar, hormonal profile) suggest karenge. 2. Diet aur Routine Sudhaaren: Har 1-2 ghante baad thoda walk karein, healthy snacks lein (fruits, nuts, sprouts), aur paani peena na bhoolen. 3. Exercise aur Stretching: Rozana thoda stretching ya yoga karein, isse body pain aur stress dono kam hote hain. 4. Neend Puri Karein: Kam se kam 7-8 ghante ki neend lein. 5. Periods ke Liye: Agar periods har mahine late ho rahe hain, ya aur koi symptoms hain (jaise zyada bleeding, acne, weight gain/loss), toh hormonal evaluation zaroori hai.

### Aapke Liye Agla Kadam - Apne symptoms aur routine ka ek record bana kar doctor ko dikhayein. - Agar aapko abhi bhi severe pain, chakkar, ya weakness mehsoos ho rahi hai, toh jaldi se ek doctor se milen.

Aap akeli nahi hain—help lena bilkul sahi kadam hai.

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.

Your symptoms of hand and leg pain, occasional dizziness, lack of concentration while studying, and menstrual cycles that are delayed by about a month for more than 6 months may be related to physical stress, long study hours, and possible nutritional deficiencies. Many students preparing for competitive exams experience fatigue and body pain when meals, sleep, and physical activity become irregular. Conditions such as Iron Deficiency Anemia can cause dizziness, weakness, and poor concentration, while Vitamin D Deficiency can lead to body pain and tiredness. Try to maintain a healthy routine by eating regular balanced meals that include green leafy vegetables, lentils, eggs, milk, fruits, nuts, and whole grains, drink enough water, get 7–8 hours of sleep, and take short breaks with light stretching during study sessions. Spending some time in sunlight daily can also help improve energy and bone health. If possible, basic blood tests such as CBC (hemoglobin), vitamin D, and thyroid function should be checked so that any deficiency can be treated with proper supplements under medical advice in person.

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.

Aapke symptoms se lagta hai ki lambe samay tak padhai karne, stress aur routine change hone ki wajah se sharir par asar pad raha hai. Meri salah-

1. Lagatar lambe time tak na padhein. 45–50 minute padhai ke baad 10 minute break zaroor lein.

2. Roz 20–30 minute halka exercise ya walking karein. Isse body active rahegi aur concentration bhi better hoga.

3. Proper diet lein – doodh, fruits, green vegetables, dal, eggs ya protein wali cheezein.

4. 7–8 ghante ki neend bahut zaroori hai. Neend kam hone se bhi chakkar aur weakness hoti hai.

5. Zyada mobile ya screen use se bhi fatigue aur headache ho sakta hai, isliye beech-beech me aankhon ko rest dein.

Agar weakness zyada lagti hai to kuch basic tests karwana bhi useful ho sakta hai- CBC, FT3 FT4 TSH.

Aur ye supplements shuru karein- - Tab. Vitamin D3 60k saptah mai ek baar × 1 month. - Tab. B-Complex roz 1 tablet × 1 month. - 1 month ke baad re-consult karein, appki progress ke hisab se aage ka manage karenge.

Doctor ko dikhayein agar: Chakkar baar-baar aaye. Bahut zyada weakness ho. Periods lagatar late ho rahe ho (2–3 mahine tak).

Thoda routine improve karne, proper diet aur rest lene se aksar body energy aur concentration dono improve ho jate hain.

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.

Hello

Your symptoms may be due to stress, fatigue, and possible anemia, which can cause body pain, dizziness, poor concentration, and delayed periods.

Conditions like Iron Deficiency Anemia and Stress are common in students preparing for long exams.

What may help: • Eat regular iron-rich foods (green vegetables, dates, jaggery, eggs) • Sleep 7–8 hours daily • Take short breaks while studying and stretch your body • Stay hydrated

If symptoms continue, consult a doctor and consider tests like hemoglobin and thyroid, and evaluation for Anemia or hormonal issues.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

It’s important to consider both the physical strain and the mental focus needed for prolonged study sessions like UPSC preparation. The symptoms you’re describing—body aches, dizziness, and issues concentrating—could be tied to several factors including study habits, but also potential health concerns like anemia or thyroid issues, which can affect energy levels and concentration. Let’s start with your study environment and habits. Make sure you have a comfortable chair and desk setup to reduce strain; every hour or so, take short breaks to stretch and move around to keep your body from getting too stiff or tired. Hydration and nutrition are crucial; try to maintain a balanced diet with enough iron and protein, as deficiencies can lead to fatigue and dizziness. Your irregular menstrual cycle might be a related factor; it’s often linked to stress, hormonal imbalances, or nutritional deficiencies. It could be beneficial to visit a healthcare provider to check your blood levels, especially iron, and hormones if these symptoms persist. In the meantime, managing stress through activities like deep breathing exercises or yoga can be helpful. If you’re feeling lightheaded or extremely tired, it’s wise to pause and rest—pushing through can worsen concentration issues. If symptoms don’t ease with these adjustments or if you feel they’re significantly impeding your daily life, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like anemia or hypothyroidism. They might suggest further investigations based on your symptoms. Take care of these details, and your study sessions could become more effective and less physically draining.

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'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.

Aapko 6 mahine se severe body pain, chakkar, padhai me mann na lagna aur periods delay ho rahe hain — yeh stress, anemia (khun ki kami), hormonal imbalance ya vitamin deficiency ki wajah se ho sakta hai, especially UPSC preparation ka mental pressure bhi reason ho sakta hai. Please Gynecologist aur Physician (MD Medicine) se consult karein aur tests jaise CBC, Iron profile, Vitamin D, B12, Thyroid (TSH) aur Hormone profile karwayein. Tab tak proper diet (iron-rich food), 7–8 ghante ki neend, halka exercise aur regular study breaks follow karein, lekin delay na karein — specialist consultation zaroor karein.
