I m 45 yrs old.and I have thyroid. My TSH level is 7.110. my dosage of throxine 75 mcg.now please tell me about the dosage.

Female | Shalini Bal

A TSH level of 7.110 indicates that your thyroid hormone is not functioning properly even though you are taking 75 micrograms of thyroxine. The fact that you have a high level of TSH indicates that your thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones. Signs of this include a feeling of drowsiness, excess weight, and getting cold. An increased dose of thyroxine could be considered to stabilize your thyroid and, in turn, your TSH level back to the normal range. Substantive discussions with your doctor should be conducted to examine the findings and to agree on the appropriate path to follow.

My c-peptide test results 7.69 Feeling empty stomach and weekness A am non diabetic

Male | 45

If your C-peptide test shows 7.69 and you’re not diabetic then it’s fine. Feeling empty stomachs and weakness can happen for different reasons. It’s common to have low energy when an individual hasn’t eaten anything for a while and this can be solved by taking small but frequent meals. Weakness could be due to lack of sleep, stress or not eating well-balanced meals. Ensure that you always take plenty of fluids and get enough rest.

Hy i am Shama Pawha i have irregular peroid , acne problem, hair fall , and also i have thyroid problem.

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.

I have symptoms of vitamin d deficiency and got tested please can u prescribe medicine

Female | 50

Experiencing low vitamin D levels may lead to symptoms such as bone pain if proper daily food consumption and sun exposure are not met. A person may suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to insufficient exposure to sunlight and lack of vitamin D-enriched foods. The main causes are for instance unusual fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, and frequent sickening episodes. A good way to reinforce your vitamin D levels. Surely, vitamin D consists of supplements helping, for example, outdoor exercise for some time each day. The vitamin D in even more foods such as fish and egg yolks can help too.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None

Male | 41

Graves' Dise­ase affects thyroid function. Your rece­nt TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To re­gulate hormone leve­ls, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as pre­scribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolle­d symptoms. These may include rapid he­artbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have­ any worries or questions, be sure­ to discuss them with your doctor.

I need to know about diabetic

Male | 23

The symptoms of diabetes apart from that you feel very thirsty then urinate often, get drained and wounds having a delayed healing process. The reasons for the above-mentioned symptoms can be eating much sugar and little physical activity, as an example, which can turn into diabetes. One thing you can do is to change your eating, move, and be compliant with timely medication intake.

I am 20 y.o and experiencing hypogonadism symptoms, yet my bloodwork is completely fine. I tested Testosterone total, testosterone free, TSH, LH, FSH, prolactin, estrogen - everything was within ranges. Still though, symptoms are real: erectile dysfunction, low libido, delayed puberty (no genital growth at all, voice is still too high for a man, facial hair is kinda scarce, pubic hair is dark, but chest hair is nonexistent). Ultrasound showed, that my testicles are around 6.5 ml in volume. What could it be, if not hypogonadism? What else would you suggest testing? I'm going to redo my bloodwork in September

Male | 20

With these symptoms, it seems you are battling the hard times. I would like to recommend checking your adrenal glands and thyroid function, which, if imbalances are found, could cause symptoms similar to the one you are having. Besides, a Klinefelter syndrome genetic test may be worth considering. This syndrome is one that men have which comes from the addition of an X chromosome. It is very positive that you are taking the initiative to have your blood work repeated. That's why we can rule out other potential causes of your symptoms.

I am a 26 year old. Following are my thyroid results TSH- 1.4252 microlU/mL T3(total)- 1.47 ng/ul T4(total)- 121.60 nmol/l Are the results normal? Also, I am developing white hair in scalp and beard

Male | 26

A normal TSH leve­l is good for thyroid health, like yours. Likewise­, normal T3 and T4 levels indicate e­verything's fine. White hair on your scalp and be­ard can result from genetics, stre­ss, or nutritional deficiencies. To addre­ss it, try maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress e­ffectively, and using gentle­ hair care products.

My metabolism has been messed up since taking invega sustenna where i gain a kilo if i eat 100 calories over 1000 calories. i used to be able to eat whatever i wanted well over 2000 calories and flunctuate and go over certain calorie amounts and not gain weight. however after taking invega sustenna 100 mg for 10 months my metabolism has become like this. i discontinued the medicine 2 months ago and my metabolism is still not back to normal. how long will it take for it to go back to normal ?

Female | 27

In some cases, medicine can actually change the way our body burns calories, and hence the weight changes. The metabolism process might be slow to return to normal for a few months after the cessation of the drug. Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to help things get back on track.

Known diabetes. At night excessive mouth dryness and dorsum of left foot pain currently on touch

Male | 70years dryness of mouth.

Dry mouth, a particularly troublesome foot, is an indicator for diabetes at night when your saliva is not enough. This situation that might decrease saliva production and nerve issues can cause pain or sensitivity.” Keeping water close to the body at regular intervals is an efficient way of staying hydrated. Another option is to set the humidifier in the evening so that it can help the moisture in the air. You can also benefit from verifying your blood sugar levels and ensuring they are constant. It’s just as important to have these symptoms discussed with your healthcare provider.

Hello Doctor My name is Ashiya, and I have been dealing with subclinical hypothyroidism since I was 6 years old. It all started when I suddenly became very thin during my first grade. Concerned, my parents took me to a doctor who was already treating my mother for her subclinical hypothyroidism. After some blood work, the results showed elevated TSH levels at 10.5, while my T4 and T3 levels were normal. The doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and prescribed thyroxine. Now, at 17, I want to understand more about hypothyroidism. Despite reading numerous articles and watching videos, I'm still unclear about the root causes of my subclinical hypothyroidism. I even don't have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I've learned that deficiencies in selenium, zinc, copper, magnesium, and vitamin D can lead to subclinical hypothyroidism. My primary concern is whether this condition is permanent. I'm hesitant about taking a tablet every morning for the rest of my life . I would greatly appreciate your time to delve deeper into this condition.There's much to discuss, especially since my sister's TSH levels have recently elevated. We consulted a gynecologist [because my sister was not having her periods and the doctor got her thyroid test and found her TSH levels got elavated] and prescribed her 25 mcg of thyroxine, which I believe was inappropriate as her TSH levels were only at 9. Additionally, the doctor didn't test for antibodies. After 15 days of taking the tablets, my sister experienced throat pain and muscle pains. Now, her recent thyroid test showed a decrease to 8 without any thyroxine. We went to another doctor, who performed a TPO test and discovered that my sister does not have any antibodies. She's now focusing on her diet, incorporating brazil nuts for selenium, brown rice, and other foods rich in zinc, magnesium, and copper, as well as getting adequate sunlight for vitamin D. I'm hopeful that with your guidance, we can normalize her TSH levels and mine too without the need for lifelong medication. Could you please provide me with more information about this condition? Thank you. Sincerely, Ashiya.

I think I have thyroid or PCOS i feel too much nervous, I have anxiety, I'm depressed, I loose so much hair also , feel so much fatigue, even after 8 or more hours of sleep I feel tired, I am always overwhelmed and cry at small things

Female | 18

It see­ms you may have symptoms of thyroid problems or PCOS. Both can make you fe­el stressed, sad, lose­ hair, tired, and overwhelme­d. Thyroid issues happen when the­ thyroid does not work right and impacts hormones. PCOS affects fe­male hormones and may cause similar signs. You should se­e a doctor to get tests done­ and proper care. They can he­lp figure out what is causing these fe­elings.

I am 43 yr old male on healthy life style. Suddenly started to gain weight in past 1 month. Need a solution.

Male | 43

Many reasons can lead to weight gain. Among the most popular are: eating more than your body needs, lack of exercise, stress, or medical conditions. Be observant if you're experiencing more fatigue or hunger than usual, and also notice if you have a strange thirst. Do your best to eat balanced meals and be more active. Water is much preferable to sugary drinks as it can help too. Keep an eye on your weight and how you feel. Moreover, if necessary, don't hesitate to visit a doctor.
