Female | 30

Your thyroid gland may be smaller than normal. This can cause hypothyroidism and tiredness, weight gain, and coldness. The primary cause of this is a condition known as hypothyroidism.

I have high sugar and have low sodium

Male | 65

People should be careful of consuming too much sugar and too little sodium as that can cause them to feel tired, unable to think properly, and generally weak. The sugar levels could rise due to diabetes while the sodium might be reduced through sweating excessively or taking some specific medication. To manage high sugar, one must eat healthily in addition to taking the drugs that have been prescribed for them. A person with low sodium can increase the amount of salt that they take or use drugs which should be administered under strict medical supervision.

I have health issue suffering from TSH <0.01

Female | 22

A TSH level below 0.01 indicates an overactive thyroid, which can cause symptoms like tachycardia, weight loss, and anxiety. This condition may be due to hyperfunctioning of the thyroid, particularly from Graves' disease. Treatment may include medication for symptom relief and therapies targeting the underlying cause. Regular follow-up is essential.

Mera tsh level 5.94 hai to Mai 25mcg ki tablet le sakti

Female | 26

A TSH level of 5.94 might indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. If you're feeling tired, gaining weight, or always feeling cold, these could be signs of an underactive thyroid. Taking a 25 mcg tablet daily can help balance your thyroid hormone levels. However, it's important to consult your doctor and have regular check-ups to stay on track.

My fsh level is 6.24 and lh is 24.1 are they normal

Female | 16

FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) regulate your reproductive system. Increased LH and decreased FSH levels may be the reason for diseases like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or early menopause. Symptoms could be a delay in periods, acquisition of acne, or trouble in pregnancy.

I am 26yr old female, I have got blood test done where my LH: FsH ratio came 3.02, my prolactin came 66.5, my sugar was 597 at fasting, my TSH is 4.366 and my RBC count is 5.15.

Female | 26

Based on the results from your blood tests, there are some things we should investigate. High levels of prolactin can be caused by stress, certain medications, or a problem with the pituitary gland in the brain. With a fasting sugar level of 597, you may have diabetes. A TSH level of 4.366 could indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. You should see a doctor and get checked out further for treatment options.

My wife and I are planning to conceive a baby from July. Just wanted which all panchkarma should be done by us as a precautionary measure. my Wife's dad has diabetes.

Male | 31

Panchakarma is a great way to detox the body before getting pregnant. Take all necessary precautions due to your wife’s father being diabetic. Abhyanga (oil massage) and Shirodhara (oil treatment) may be good options for her. These two therapies help lower stress levels and enhance overall health – both vital during pregnancy. Also, seek advice from an Ayurvedic specialist who can provide recommendations based on individual needs and requirements.

Hello I am 20 years old since I was child I always have just a little energy for example when start to run after a few minute I feel very tired . I have a normal weight and height. I got a test now I know that I have subclinical Hypothyroid . I want to know it has a cure.

Male | 20

You seem to be having subclinical hypothyroidism. This illness is not transitory, and, hence, thyroid function also decreases; this is an example. The most common symptoms are fatigue, weight gain, and cold bones. It is good to have your tests done and know the cause. The procedure generally includes taking thyroid medicines that can help balance you out. Often, they manage to bring you improvement and give you a lot of energy.

I am 30 weeks pregnant with diabetis. I am on 12 unit insulin for lunch and dinner. And 14 unit in the night for next day fasting level. I am not eating anything sweet or rice or potato still my sugar is not in control. I eat only two roti dal and sabji in day and night. In the middle I eat apple and nuts. Only. Can you guide what could be the issue. Should I increase my insulin unit. Sometimes with the same food same unit of insulin it comes normal in range like 110 but most of the time it comes 190. For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.

Female | 33

It is good you are taking care­ of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pre­gnancy because of hormone change­s. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Che­ck your blood sugar at different times to se­e how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may nee­d to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

Male | 16

Many people­ think about their health, like taking a multivitamin. Having it be­fore sleep is usually ok. But, you can't take­ too much. A 16-year-old boy weighing 49kg should follow the dosage­ instructions carefully. Overdoing certain vitamins may cause­ issues. For example, an upse­t stomach or headaches. If you notice anything unusual afte­r taking the multivitamin, like stomach pain or rashes, stop right away. Talk to a doctor.
