Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a man with a height of 5 feet 10 inches and a weight of 105 pounds. I often feel vertigo and weakness. Please suggest a suitable weight gain plan for me.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understood your concern.
It is important to know the cause of your dizziness. If you are not drinking adequate water, it can lead to dehydration and dizziness. Try to drink two to three liters of water daily to prevent dehydration. You might have to visit a doctor in your locality to undergo a routine physical examination to rule out any medical conditions causing dizziness.
To gain weight and build muscles in a healthy way, I advise you to engage in regular moderate physical activity and maintain a healthy diet pattern.
Physical exercise: Do a little cardio followed by strength training. Start by lifting lighter weights. Listen to your body. You can hire a qualified trainer to help you get results faster and to guide you in performing your exercises correctly. Improper posture and breathing patterns during exercise can lead to injury.
Healthy diet: Increase your intake of protein in the form of sprouts, nuts, egg whites, and lean meats like fish and chicken. Follow your workouts by drinking a whey protein supplement within ten minutes of completing your workout.
Medicines to improve appetite: You can take 5 milliliters of Bayer’s Tonic (contains liver fraction, yeast extract, and alcohol) every morning, fifteen minutes before breakfast. It will help improve your appetite. You also need to take deworming medication once every six months to get rid of any worms in your intestines that may be interfering with your appetite. You can take syrup of Zentel (Albendazole) 10 milliliters at bedtime for just one day. This has to be repeated once every six months.
Last, a good eight hours of sleep and eating meals right on time are very important.
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
