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.

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.

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.

I have severe deficiency of vitamin d and i have 7.17 vitamin d3 so can you plzz help me

Female | 22

Your vitamin D might be a little low. If you don’t get enough sunlight, have a diet low in certain nutrients, or suffer from some medical conditions, you may feel tired, have aches and pains, or weak bones. You can add fish and eggs to your meals more often, spend time outside, or take supplements with this vitamin to increase its level in the body. You should consult your healthcare provider for more information.

Hello Dr, hope ur doing well! 23yrs old female not married Actually i wanna consult u abt taking Progyluton while i don’t have ovarian cysts neither irregular periods just that i got high testosterone 3.01 and prolactin 26.11 levels somehow. One of the physicians prescribe Cabergoline only that decrease prolactin but what abt testosterone as well, so what i gotta take? P.s. there’s hairsuitism only on chin and legs not chest and back Some pustules n papules acne as well but too rare. Thank you:))

Female | 23

High testoste­rone may cause unwanted hair growth and acne­. Cabergoline treats prolactin issue­s. However, spironolactone tackle­s excess testoste­rone, potentially reducing hirsutism and acne­ by lowering testosterone­ levels. It's wise to discuss this me­dication option with your doctor, as their guidance ensure­s your well-being.

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.

Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the­ evening, is complex. Be­ing unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happe­ns when your sugar dips during sleep. You might ne­ed to alter your insulin doses or timing unde­r medical supervision. Complex carbs and prote­in at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady le­vels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worrie­s with your doctor.
