Question 1

might it be that a a poor diet cause colds longer to go?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I'm not sure if any direct studies have been done relating to diet and how long colds last, but a poor diet means the body in not being optimally nourished, which affects the functioning and effectiveness of the immune system. A well-nourished body will be operating at its best capacity to recover from a cold virus more quickly.

Question 2

sinusitis won't go away, how much longer do i have to suffer?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: If you have completed several courses of antibiotics for at least 14 days each and are not improving then i would recommend that you see an ENT specialist.  They may be able to perform a culture to see the type of bacteria and which antibiotics it is responsive to.  Or they may perform a ct scan to see if you need surgery.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Trainig: it depend if you do not last because you lose your erection then there is a medical solution for that but you have to see a doctor to prescribed medicine 
if you do not last because you reach orgasm or you come too fast that is called premature ejaculation which is very common problem and there is solution from doing a specific exercise to a medication that help delayed the orgasm or topical cream

Question 5

i am very unstable mentally, no longer able to live my life normally because of a traumatic event in my past. who should i go to for assistance?

Accepted Answer

Begin w/psychiatrist: Working with the impact of such experiences on you may require some time, and it needs to be done gently.  Often people benefit from combining psychotherapy with medications for strong anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, and depression symptoms.  I suggest starting with a full evaluation with a psychiatrist, who can treat you & suggest skilled psychologists/other therapists to work with too.

Question 6

im taking vit b5 (100mg) ive noticed my appetite is suppressed, i dont get as hungry as i would often get and i can go longer without food. normal?

Accepted Answer

Appetite changes: There are many causes of changes in appetite, but what you are describing is entirely normal, and probably not related to taking vitamin B5.

Question 7

every time i'm hungry i get a constant feeling like i'm going to gag. it makes me not want to eat, which makes it last longer. why is this happening?

Accepted Answer

Reflux (GERD): Hi!
When we are preparing to eat, our stomach getsready to receive food by increasing acid ("enterogastric reflEx").  This may cause some discomfort.  Also, and this part is speculation, this could lead to acid reflUx ("GERD") into the esophagus which is commonly reported as a gagging sensation.  You can try taking over-the-counter antacid; if not helping, discuss further w/ a doctor.

Question 8

why is one pupil larger than the other? it used to happen randomly and would go away, about a year ago i first noticed. now, it stays like this longer

Accepted Answer

Might be ok: About 20% of people have a small difference between right vs left pupil size with no symptoms at all.  If the difference is large, you should show your doctor.

Question 9

how to stay longer in masturbating ?

Accepted Answer

Slow down...: Slowing down the pace of delivering mental ; physical stimulations is  the key to make masturbation last longer and the foundation of behavioral modification for sex life. Remember the ending point of total accumulation of stimulation may highly vary among men and even within an individual himself, and is personally unique from time to time, from place to place, from circumstance to circumstance.

Question 10
