In a fast-paced environment, maintaining your physical and mental health is crucial. With that said, a Twitter user’s post seeking health advice from a doctor online has gone viral recently. Harshal, a 37-year-old corporate employee, sought suggestions from Dr Sudhir Kumar, a neurologist at Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad. He stated in the post that he works for a corporation and that over the past six months, he has put in 16 to 17 hours each day. He further added that when he checked his blood pressure, it was 150/90.

In response, the doctor advised the patient to reduce the number of hours he worked by 50 percent. He even poked fun by saying that the amount of work his patient was doing would ensure job of another person.
