Ankle tissue injury
Earlier this year, in February I rolled my left ankle while playing football. Initially it looked a normal sprain but the pain and swelling was too much and remained same for 2 days. I got an x-ray done and consulted an orthopedic doctor. He said there's a damage to the 'soft tissues or ligaments' around ankle. The leg was put in plaster for first three weeks and i've been using Tynor ankle binder ever since removing the plaster.
doc had said it'll take total of 45-50 days to be able to ease back into sports activities. but In fact it took me over 60 days to even walk without crutches. I slowly resumed playing football after nearly 4 months of proper rest since the injury. Today its been over 5 months and i still experience occasional pain and discomfort in the ankle.
How sever was my injury and what should i do about it now? Do i need any special exercises or a therapy?

Mental health
I'm a final year student pursuing my bachelor's of technology degree in Engineering Physics at Delhi Technological University. I've always wanted to contribute to the science community and pursue research as my career. And now, when the time has finally come, I feel as if I don't know physics anymore. I can solve any problem pertaining to mathematical and physical sciences but I don't really know what it is that I end up feeling like I don't know these sciences the way I used to know before. As a matter of fact, I have always been among the top students when it comes to physics; given my Physics score for JEE Advance was 115/120. Also, I have done well in all my exams but it doesn't feel the same anymore. And not knowing what the reason is, makes it all the more disturbing and annoying. And the consequences are all extremely negative as I am unable to focus on my health, and academics. In short my efficiency and productivity has hit the lowest of levels & a fightback seems impossible.

High blood pressure
Hi , I had checked my blood pressure for a week at different timings. I must have taken 5-6 readings. My readings are terribly high. Readings were in the range 140-165 systolic And 90-110 diabolic. I am just 22 years old. I have never done smoking. I don't drink alcohol either. Just started beer 5 months back but that too only in company parties.(alcohol is very rare) I am vegetarian. I am not overweight. My height is 177 cms and weight is 72 kg. In fact for last 5 months I used to do brisk walking monday to Friday to stay fit. I have lot of family responsibilities on me and eventually I have stress. But I guess everyone have stress in their life. I am not able to understand how high BP can happen to me, I am shocked. This problem is not heridatory. My questions are 1. Is it possible to cure high BP naturally? 2. How it will impact my career and life? I have ambition of higher studies.3. i have read common remedies on net. what else i can do to keep BP low.?
