In the given dialogue, Mike, a sales agent, is talking to his doctor. Let's fill in the blanks with the correct verb forms:

Doctor: How can I help you, Mr. Daniels? Mike: Well, I started having bad headaches a couple of weeks ago and they are getting worse. I can't sleep properly, I am tired all the time, and the worst thing is my hair is going grey and I am only 31! Doctor: I see. Let me ask you some questions. Do you smoke? Mike: No, I gave up a month ago. Doctor: Right. I see you are a salesman. On average, how many hours a week do you work? Mike: Well, I normally do 8 hours a day, but at the moment I am doing at least ten hours and some Saturdays. Doctor: That's a lot. And so how do you relax? Mike: Well, I usually sit in front of the TV with a pizza and a few beers. Doctor: Hmm. Do you do any exercise at the moment?
