Accepted Answer

Why take Glucon?: If you are not diabetic it probably does not cause harm but it is not clear why you are taking Glucon-D. It is a highly concentrated Glucose supplement. There is not a clear health benefit of using this. If you are worried about low blood sugar discuss with your doctor so that testing can be done. Drinking juice or eating food would likely have more beneficial effects

Accepted Answer

Indeed you can: Uncorrected vision and eye strain is one of the most common causes of headaches. Being farsighted, rare in young people, may make ususl daily activities - especially anything that includes reading - even labels, keyboards or phone pads - a big problem. Get examined and use a corrective prescription. You'll feel better and make fewer mistakes and enjoy so much more of what you do.

Question 8

i have dark marks on my face that i just can't get rid of. they are mostly near both sides of my nose due to wearing glasses. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Ecchymosis: If the marks are in fact due to constant pressure from the glasses, you will need to consider changing your glasses, using contacts or giving your skin as much rest as possible and changing the rest position of the glasses often. You can also try applying Arnica lotion you can get from health store (GNC, Whole foods, etc.) since it may be due to ecchymosis rather than PIH.
