Can I eat banana chips during kidney stone
Banana chips can be high in sodium and unhealthy fats since it is fried. If you have kidney stones, you need to limit your intake of sodium and unhealthy fats. High sodium intake can increase calcium excretion in urine, potentially contributing to the formation of certain types of kidney stones.

I have a swollen red hot arm after injecting
When your arm gets red, swollen, and hot, it's likely reacting to the injection. The inflammation happens because your body sees the injected substance as foreign. Infections could also bring such symptoms. Putting something cold on it and raising your arm may help. But, if it remains the same, you need urgent medical care.

Why do I get tired easily and feel cold?
Anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen, leading to fatigue, cold sensitivity, weakness, and shortness of breath. While hot water may temporarily improve circulation, it's not a long-term solution. I recommend seeing a doctor for a blood test to check your red blood cell levels. Anemia can be caused by factors like iron deficiency or illness, and treatment may involve dietary changes, iron supplements, or other medications, depending on the cause. Getting proper medical care is essential to address your symptoms.
