Am I prone to fatigue and sleepiness with liraglutide?
Does fatigue and sleepiness is common side effects of taking liraglutide r-DNA injection ?

Answered on 8th Mar '25
Fatigue and drowsiness can occur with liraglutide, often due to its effects on hormone levels and blood sugar regulation. These feelings may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. To manage these symptoms, ensure you're getting enough rest, stay well-hydrated, and maintain a balanced diet. Regular physical activity can also help boost energy levels. However, if you find these issues persistent or troubling, please consult endocrinologist. They can offer personalized advice and assess your situation to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.

These symptoms may be caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a hormonal disorder. PCOS is no doubt one of the endocrine disorders that affect mostly women. You should consult a gynecologist so that your entire problem will be handled by only one doctor and at the same time all your symptoms will be resolved.

Dear sir ,I am 42 years old person. I have two test positive anti tpo and anti TG .my question is that I should take thyroid medication take or not take.my thyroid tsh test normal.pls help
Male | 42
The presence of anti-TPO and anti-TG antibodies suggests your immune system might be affecting your thyroid. However, as your TSH levels are normal, you may not need medication right now. Common symptoms of thyroid dysfunction include fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings, so stay mindful of how you feel. It's best to consult with your endocrinologist for personalized advice and potential monitoring. They can help determine the best approach based on your specific condition.

I am 59 years female and I have HYPOTHYROIDISM. Last week I got my lab tests done and the reports show T4 - 6.1 ugh/dL TSH - 19.100 ulU/mL So, my Q is, what strength or how many micro grams LEVITHYROXINE medication should I take?
Female | 59 years
Your lab results indicate that your TSH level is elevated, suggesting that your thyroid hormone replacement might need adjustment. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance. The dosage of levothyroxine typically starts low and is adjusted based on TSH levels and individual response. It’s vital to consult your endocrinologist to determine the appropriate microgram strength for your needs. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure effective management of your condition.

Hello , I am 27 years old and i have testosterone value 2.89 ng/mL . And i make exercises fitness 3/4 days in week My question is : Can i take some testosterone ?
Male | 27
At your age, having a level of testosterone at 2.89ng/mL is right where it should be. There are several symptoms associated with lowT which include high fatigue levels, decreased libido, and even mood swings. It might be stress or some medical problems causing it; see a doctor before taking testosterone because if not done properly this could harm your body. If you sustain your exercise routine, eat well-balanced meals daily, and have adequate sleep every night -these activities will help maintain normal levels of this hormone.

Girls ka 23 age mein estrogen kitna hona chahiye ? Kya 324.6 zyda ha? Blood 9 ko diya tha is month 14 ko period howy thy.kitny percent zyda ha?
Female | 23
Based on your menstrual cycle, a 23-year-old woman with estrogen levels falling between 60 and 300 pg/mL, and variability in between, pretty much sums up the normal range. The level of 324.6 pg/mL might look high, but this interpretation is undoubtedly contingent on your health and your cycle timing. Common symptoms for people who have an imbalance may include mood swings, irregular menstruation, or physical development. I sincerely advise you to consult with your endocrinologist for more personalized insights and some golden rules of remediation. They will be able to clear up any ambiguities and help you realine your care needs.

I had GYM without diet and hydration (only one or two water of glass in a day) for 3 months about a year ago and after one month during GYM I had started to face problems like too much stress, Low energy, Chest fat (not gynecomastia), Sleep disturbance, More feminine appearance in my face then I tested my Harmones my testosterone is high by 143 as it's normal range and my estradiol is in normal range. I have high Estrogen symptoms but my estradiol report is normal. This is my problem.
Male | 22
The signs you mentioned can be difficult indeed. Although your estradiol levels are normal, hormonal dysfunction can, however, still be the case. Other factors may also play a role in reduced testosterone levels causing increased symptoms. High-intensity workouts without proper nutrition or hydration can lead to the disturbance of hormone balance. Regarding your problem, focus on a balanced diet, hydration, and suitable physical activity. Besides, this you should also consult an endocrinologist.

Over the last one year I have noticed many changes like I have lost a lot of weight, skin has become very dry, eye problems, most of the time my body feel too much week that i can not describe.
Male | 19
Your symptoms suggest you have hyperthyroidism - a thyroid gland producing excessive hormone. Unintended weight loss, dry skin, eye troubles, and fatigue are signs. Your overactive thyroid makes too much hormone. With medical help, pills or therapies treat this condition. Consult an endocrinologist for proper diagnosis and care.

Female | 60
Your excessive sleep and tiredness could be related to your thyroid issue affecting energy levels and overall health. The ear itching, leg pain, and hand pain may also need further evaluation. Visit an endocrinologist for your thyroid condition and a neurologist to check if there are any nerve-related issues. A proper diagnosis will help you get the right treatment to improve your symptoms.

Hormonal level imbalance I am a trans Having testosterone 1288 LH 2.46 FSH5
Other | 29
Hormonal equilibrium is the prime condition for human beings, and the variations in testosterone, FSH, and LH would be the obvious signs of such changes as fatigue, mood instability, and sexual problems. These distempers have several reasons, including hormone therapy, other diseases, or way of life. Therefore, the approach should be holistic in this matter. Proper diet, daily workout, and stress management also have a significant influence. I suggest you consider talking to a healthcare provider who is a specialist in transgender health for personalized advice and the possibility of adjusting your treatment plan.

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.

Hi I am 17 years old girl . My height is 5.6 and my weight is 88 kgs . My problem is still I didn’t attend puberty
Female | 17
The reason is that each person achieves puberty at their age. Not developing breasts or getting a period by a certain age are some signs of delayed puberty. The reasons may be different. For example, a person's family history can play a role or some specific medical conditions may be involved. A well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and having a conversation with a nutritionist can be helpful to tackle the issue of delayed puberty.

No big deal if you skipped your Krimson 35 pill yesterday. Just carry on taking it as normal today. Missing one dose is generally not a major issue with this medicine. If you've missed more than one dose or notice any strange symptoms, let your gynecologist know.

Cyprodoil medicine kya estrogen ko regulate krta ya kaam krta .bcz mera already zyda ha toh doctor nay mujy yeh di ha
Female | 22
Cyprodoil provides mood regulation but it does not have to do with estrogen directly. Nevertheless, its effects can give relief to symptoms such as mood swings and the likes that typically come with the change of hormonal state. Estrogen in the blood can at times produce the feeling of being sick, which may include a late period, more weight, or anxiety. Handling such matters might require changing your lifestyle as well as use of some drugs. Observing how you feel and being open to discussing the issue with your healthcare provider is very important. See your doctor first if you want to talk about your hormone levels or simply if you have questions relating to your medicine.

Experiencing a fast heartbeat after eating and weight loss with normal thyroid levels could be due to several reasons, such as low blood sugar, anemia, or other metabolic conditions.

Female | 25
Irregular periods, acne, hair fall, and thyroid problems can be related to each other. Thyroid issues can interfere with your hormones, thus causing period and skin problems. Hair loss could also be caused by thyroid deficiency. Checking up with a doctor for your thyroid levels and being treated for it can help normalize the situation. They may prescribe specific medications or suggest other treatments to ameliorate the symptoms.

Hi, I am Male 32 years old, I suffer from Hashimoto, and recently did some other blood tests. My total bilirubine level was 2, (direct was 0.2 and indirect 1.8) I have normal ALT, AST, LDH and GGT, also a normal ultrasound( no problems where found on ultrasound). My Cholesterol was also very high (300) and LDL 230. Should I worry about the liver? SHould I start statin for my cholesterol and could my high colesterol be related to hashimotos?. My height is 180 CM and wight for the moment 75 KG. I have been overweight for many years. Max weight wa 90 kg
Male | 32
Your bilirubin is a bit high but your liver enzymes as well as the ultrasound tests are normal which is good news. High cholesterol can go with Hashimoto's - your thyroid problem. Looking at your LDL levels, it might be good to start taking a statin so that you can reduce this kind of cholesterol in your body. It will also help if you work on your weight and try living healthy.

Male | 42
Waking up with a glucose reading of 175 is considered elevated. High sugar levels can lead to fatigue, excessive thirst, and frequent urination. Potential contributors might be excessive sweet consumption or insufficient physical activity. Incorporating nutrient-dense foods like fruits and vegetables, coupled with regular exercise, may aid in regulating your glucose levels.
