Low energy or trouble gaining weight? Start with an assessment
Tired sooner than you should be, a small appetite, or a weight that won't move however much you eat: these have different reasons, so the first step is finding yours. Dr. D.K. Sharma (BAMS) has practised since 1992.
Urgent signs: sudden weakness on one side, a drooping face, chest pain, fainting or severe breathlessness need emergency care now, not a consultation request.

What the doctor looks at first
- The reason, before any tonic. Appetite, digestion, sleep, recent illness and the medicines you take are checked first.
- Your own frame. Your build, routine and goal are discussed plainly, with what is realistic for you.
- A plan you can follow. Your personalised Dinacharya (daily-routine) guide follows the consultation.
- Tests only when they help. If a blood test would change the plan, you are told why before you decide.
Three steps
- Tell the clinic what is wrong. For example: "I eat, but my weight doesn't move."
- Hear back. The clinic confirms it can help and offers a time. You then pay ₹500 and receive written confirmation.
- Speak with the doctor. You describe what changed and when, a normal day of food, sleep and activity, and anything you already take, from protein powder to a tonic.

Questions
Will I be sold a tonic?
Not at this step. The first visit is for finding the reason.
Full answer
If Dr. Sharma advises a medicine for you after that, he tells you what it is and why it suits you. Any later way of buying medicines from the clinic is not set up yet.
Do I need blood tests?
Sometimes. If weight has dropped without trying, or tiredness is new, a test may be the sensible first step, and the reason is explained.
Full answer
The page on tiredness and low energy lists the usual ones.
I've always been thin. Is it worth consulting?
Yes, if it bothers you. A long-standing thin build and recent weight loss need different answers, and the consultation tells them apart.
Full answer
The page on healthy weight gain explains the difference.
Can I consult by video?
Yes. Video works well for the history and a plan. New or unexplained loss of strength usually needs a visit.
When should I not wait?
Sudden weakness on one side, face drooping, chest pain, fainting or severe breathlessness need emergency care now.
