Depression treatment triggered excessive sleepiness known as hypersomnia. Causes vary - sleep disorders, meds, underlying health conditions. Stopping treatment eased hypersomnia but depression resurfaced. Striking a balance proves vital. Consult a healthcare provider regarding medication adjustments or alternative depression treatments.

Your test shows higher TSH levels than normal. You could have an underactive thyroid. This may cause tiredness, weight gain, dry skin. Possible reasons: stress, thyroid issues, medications. See a doctor for further tests and treatment options.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

Male | 48
It looks like the blood sugar level of this 48-year-old person is extremely high. If the HbA1c is over 10% and the average blood glucose level is 263.3 mg/dL, it means the diabetes is not well controlled. Common symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, weight loss, and tiredness. This could be due to not taking medications properly or not following a healthy diet. To manage this, eat a balanced diet, take their medicines as prescribed, and exercise regularly.

When I wake up in the morning and I haven't even drank, I still pee a lot. comes once but Its range is more and after that I sleep and then I go to the washroom, still I come out with a lot of urine. Its range is more without water. Why is this so? I neither have diabetes nor UTI infection Am unmarried
Female | 22
Human beings tend to urinate more in the morning than in the evening after sleeping for a long period. This is because our kidneys expel more of the blood impurities overnight. Therefore, we should expect to pee more after we wake up. In the absence of other symptoms like pain or unusual color, it is usually normal.

Hi I'm Gopinath. I'm diagnosed with low vitamin d (14 ng/ml). I feel really exhausted and leg below knee hurt so much. I'm currently taking D rise 2k, Evion LC and Methylcobalamin 500 mcg. How long it will take to cure and I feel normal
Male | 24
Having low vitamin D can make you feel very tired. It can also cause pain in your legs. The medicines you are taking are good. But it takes time to feel better. It usually takes a few weeks or months for your vitamin D levels to go up. And it takes time to feel normal again. Keep taking your medicines every day.

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.
Female | 51
The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!

I am having hypothyroidism. Can I visit Keva Ayurveda for best hypothyroidism treatment?
Female | 23
Your thyroid gland makes hormones that control how your body works. Hypothyroidism means the gland doesn't make enough of these hormones. You may feel tired all the time. Gaining weight unexpectedly can happen too. Feeling cold more often than normal is another symptom. One treatment option is Ayurveda. Keva Ayurveda uses herbs and lifestyle changes to help balance hormones and bodily functions. Their therapies might ease your hypothyroidism symptoms through methods like herbal remedies. But don't try anything new without talking to your regular doctor first.

Female | 29
Your symptoms are likely caused by Cushing's syndrome. This results from your body's overproduction of cortisol. This may include weight gain, lethargy, and mood swings. A doctor should be consulted to receive a diagnosis through tests. Typically, a doctor either gives you medication or does surgery to decrease the cortisol levels for the treatment.

Female | 32
Yes, hormonal imbalances can sometimes trigger vertigo. Low blood pressure and migraines can also contribute to this condition. It’s good that you consulted a gynecologist for your hormonal issues. Additionally, you should visit a neurologist for your vertigo and migraine concerns, as they can provide specialized care for these conditions.

These symptoms can signify nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or serious health issues. The best course of action is to go to a doctor and get a correct diagnosis and a treatment plan that is specifically made for you. These are the symptoms that you have to tell the endocrinologist at your appointment so they can guide you in understanding and treating the root causes.

I am a 38 year old man. In december 2023 I made a blood test and my HBA1C was 7.5%. Two months later it dropped to 6.8%. After 6 months I made another blood test and it was 6.2%. My question is: is it type 2 diabetes? Just for information, last year October and November were very stressful for me. Thanks in advance
Male | 38
Based on the information you shared, it seems that your blood sugar levels have been improving, which is a great relief! Your HbA1c falling from 7.5% to 6.2% over time is a good sign. Stress can also be a contributing factor to blood sugar levels, and thus, it could be one of the considerations. Monitor your health, eat healthy, stay active, and have regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels.

I have hypothyroidism and taking medicine.I have checked thyroid today and I want to show the thyroid report
Female | 26
You were diagnosed with hypothyroidism. That means your thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones. The report shows levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). High TSH indicates low thyroid hormone production. Thyroid medication helps restore hormone balance, relieving symptoms. You can also visit an endocrinologist for evaluation.

I am 51 male am extremely active and barely eat but only have gained weight in my belly area. I feel that there is no other explanation other than some kind of medical condition or some kind of hormonal issue. What could it be. Thanks chad
Male | 51
Gaining belly fat even if you are active and eat properly might be the symptom of a condition called insulin resistance. This refers to a situation when your body does not react properly to insulin. The symptoms include weight gain in the belly, tiredness, and wanting to drink more water. To cope with this, take foods in balance, do frequent exercises, and consult a doctor so that they can have a medical check-up for the issue.
