• There is no problem in taking Ashwagandha as it is useful for generalized weakness and to improve speed and lower-limb muscular strength and neuro-muscular co-ordination.
• If you’re a vegetarian, you’re more likely to develop Vit B-12 deficiency. Try to include eggs and milk in your diet.
•COVID-19 vaccine is completely safe for people suffering from HYPERTENSION. A flare in blood pressure after getting the jab is rare and not a concerning side effect at the moment. This should not be used as a reason to delay the vaccination.
• Continue using Ashwagandha.
