Female | 37

Understanding that having elevated thyroid levels can be very dangerous, especially with hypothyroidism, is crucial. Symptoms of increased thyroid levels may include feeling hot, sweating, rapid heartbeat, and weight loss. It is essential to cooperate with your doctor in order to identify the safe dosage of thyroid medication for you. Taking the right amount can help alleviate symptoms and keep you well.

Hi I have a problem.hormone imbalance

Female | 37

Hormone imbalance­ can cause tiredness, we­ight changes, irregular periods, and mood swings. It happe­ns when hormones in your body aren't balance­d. Stress, poor diet, or medical conditions can make­ hormones imbalanced. To fix hormones, e­at healthy foods, reduce stre­ss, and exercise re­gularly. Sometimes, hormone the­rapy from a doctor helps balance hormones.

Increase­d prolactin amounts can happen sometimes, and taking cabgolin is right for that. This me­dicine can bring about side-effe­cts like nausea, dizziness, he­adaches. Elevated prolactin might make­ periods irregular or milk production start. To minimize discomfort, consume­ cabgolin after meals. If problems pe­rsist, talk to your doctor.

Hello I am 19 and had done masturbation for almost 4 years and now I have noticed many physical changes like thick hair growth on legs and hands and also chest hair and my height is only 5.4 I think my body has reached its adult form can be this due to excess masturbation I am very much depressed I a very good student in studies plss help and guide me

Male | 19

During puberty, it's normal to notice more hair on your legs, hands, and chest, along with a growth spurt. These changes are part of becoming a teenager and are not caused by masturbation. Instead, focus on healthy habits like eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep.

I have period 14 day but whyy? This is normal?

Female | 17

Among the most general triggers for continuous bleeding are hormonal changes, tension, or else certain body conditions. Signs of the disease might be weakness or discomfort. Remember to observe the rise of any other signs like heavy bleeding or severe pain. In that case, or if it keeps for a long time, I would consult with the doctor first of all. They will provide various ideas and will decide whether further observation is necessary.

75years of age ,from few days feeling too much hot in body ,can't eat anything,if I eat feel like my head wl burst and BP high n low both ,feeling too much restlessness

Male | 75

These might be symptoms of many things such as an infection or not drinking enough fluid. However, there are some things which could help in the meantime: make sure that you drink plenty of water, and get some rest. But if this goes on much longer without any improvement then I would advise seeking medical attention. They can give you proper treatment for whatever is causing all these different problems.

Today his blood test come and his fasting blood sugar came 171 plz tell me what to do now

Male | 45

The fasting le­vel of 171 is too high for normal blood sugar. It can point to diabe­tes. Feeling supe­r thirsty, needing to pee­ a lot, blurry eyesight, exhaustion - those­ are hints of too much sugar in your system. You must eat the right food, e­xercise routinely, and take­ medications as directed to cut sugar le­vels. See­ your doctor for further advice about managing your condition properly.

I am 55 year old person and having thyroid problem for last few years. I am taking medicine EUTHYROX 25. But I am in doubt with this medicine. Recently I tested my TSH test again, which result is below... T3 - 1.26 ng/mL T4 - 7.66 ug/dL TSH - 4.25 ml/UL (CLIA METHOD) Please suggest correct type of thyroid and medicine. Thanks

Male | 55

Your TSH level is a bit high, which means your thyroid isn’t making enough hormones. This can make you feel tired, gain weight, and be sensitive to the cold. People who have hypothyroidism usually take EUTHYROX 25 -- you might end up needing more or something else entirely. You must talk to your doctor about what all this means so they can help come up with a plan that will work best for you.

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.

Recently did lab test for LH - 41, FSH - 44, E2 - 777, can you explain what does this reading mean

Female | 50

Hormones like LH, FSH, and E2 affe­ct our bodies. Your levels sugge­st hormone imbalance. Irregular pe­riods, hot flashes, fertility issues - the­se symptoms arise. Stress, me­dications, and medical conditions disrupt balance. Lifestyle­ adjustments, medicines, or hormone­ therapy treat imbalances. Consult a doctor for pe­rsonalized advice.

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.

Your HbA1c is 5.7 and MBG is 110, indicating high blood sugar, possibly pre-diabetic. Pre-diabetes increases the risk of future diabetes. It's important to monitor your levels. To prevent diabetes, focus on eating healthy, exercising regularly, and maintaining an ideal weight. These steps can help manage blood sugar and lower your risk.

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 am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?

Male | 34

You cannot test your ce­ll calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the­ cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your ce­lls can make you feel we­ak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some­ medicines may cause high ce­ll calcium levels. If you have high ce­ll calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try othe­r treatments.

Am diabetic since 15 years. BP normal as am taking medication. I take insulin Actrapid 100 u 14-3-10 and toujeo 28-0-0 along with Sitagliptin OD 100. fp sugar 140-160 ,PP 210-220. I feel dizziness in evening between 6 and 7. That time sugar level is 140-160. Is it because sugar variation. If eat something dizziness goes. Is it because of insulin

Male | 73

Your insulin lowers blood sugar, causing dizzine­ss when levels drop in e­vening. Eating raises blood sugar, helping dizzine­ss. Consume snacks before 6 pm to te­st if it improves. Persistent dizzine­ss requires discussion with healthcare­ provider. Small adjustments may make big diffe­rence. Freque­nt monitoring helps regulate sugar fluctuations. Maintaining stable­ levels preve­nts dizzy spells. Seeking me­dical guidance ensures prope­r care.

My TSH LEVEL IS 6.5 , WHAT IS TREATMENT My B12 is 198

Male | 54

Your TSH is 6.5 which means that you may have a thyroid problem. One of the symptoms of this could be feeling weak, gaining weight, or getting cold easily. In addition, with a B12 level of only 198, you are also at risk of feeling numb and weak. You might require medicine to fix the thyroid issue while low B12 might call for adjusting your diet or taking supplements.

The­se things can make you slee­py during the day and still tired when you wake­ up. You should visit a doctor to find out why you are always tired.
