Can Steroids Tablets at 28 Cause Side Effects?

I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???

Answered on 23rd May '24

Steroids can impact your body ne­gatively. Common side effe­cts include weight gain, acne bre­akouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happe­ns because steroids inte­rfere with natural functions within your system. We­ight gain and acne result from hormonal changes cause­d by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt che­mical balances regulating emotions and sle­ep cycles. If expe­riencing these issue­s, consult your doctor immediately.

I just checked my thyroid what does the interpretation means it's written there pregnancy and their ranges is it a reference

Female | 22

Pregnancy impacts thyroid function. Thyroid hormones control metabolism and e­nergy. Too high or low levels bring fatigue­, weight changes, and mood changes. Doctors watch the­se levels care­fully, ensuring healthy ranges. Issue­s prompt medication or treatments. Balance­d thyroid hormones benefit mothe­r and baby.

नमस्ते मेरे भाई का नाम Amit हैं उन्हें बचपन से ही type 1 daibtes हैं last 4 दिनों से उन्हें widal typhide or kidney की problem हो रही हैं please give me some suggestions

Male | 32

It is natural to worry about Amit. His immune system might have difficulty in fighting infections, especially type 1 diabetic patients. Fever, weakness, and abdominal pain can be symptoms of typhoid or kidney problems. They should give him light food, drink plenty of water, and check his blood sugar regularly. However, a professional checkup for these symptoms is a must. Please contact a doctor so that they can guide you to the correct diagnosis and treatment. Best wishes for a quick recovery!

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 am 37 year old , having frequent episode of low sugar specially in evening.

Male | 37

Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels fall below normal, which can cause symptoms like trembling, sweating, hunger, or dizziness. This often happens due to missing meals or not eating enough. To prevent hypoglycemia, aim to eat regular, balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. If you have concerns, consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and advice.

Recently i was admitted to hospital for rapid heartbeat and irregular rhythm, but in the reports high TSH level are shown, I'm experiencing rapid heartbeat, weight loss and bloating from 2 years... Now doctor gave me thyronorm 50, but still after a week my condition is the same, my heartbeat stays normal as long as i lie down even when i lie down sometimes it rises up... My 2d echo, usg is normal...

Female | 22

A test result of TSH at a high level signifies that the thyroid could be malfunctioning. This can be caused by rapid heart rates, weight loss, and bloating. The medicine is the cause for the improvement, but the improvement may take a while to show. Often, determining the correct dosage requires some experimentation. Do not forget to tell your doctor about any changes or improvements in your health.

i just want to ask about if my hypothyroidism problem can be cured as most of the time i have high value of TSH and also have symptoms like irregular periods, brittle nails and excessive hair loss. I'm a female of 23, i have hypothyroidism issue since i was 15.

Female | 23

It seems like you might suffer from hypothyroidism, where your thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. This can result in high TSH levels as well as symptoms such as irregular periods, weak nails, and hair loss. Normally, hypothyroidism entails long-term treatment with thyroid hormone medications to help control its signs. You should continually see a doctor who'll watch out for your thyroid levels and modify the treatment when necessary.

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.

Hello, I have high anxiety. My anxiety likes to convince me that whenever I start to feel hungry, my blood sugar is dropping even if I ate 3-4 hours prior. I don’t have any blood sugar issues, I’ve gotten tested for it before. To put my anxiety at ease, how does blood sugar drop?

Female | 17

Low blood sugar can sometimes be caused by not consuming the food for a very long time or some underlying health issues. Consuming meals and snacks at regular intervals has a positive impact on your blood sugar levels and definitely reduces your anxiety.

Female | 33

You may be having a condition known as hypothyroidism. This is a result of your thyroid gland not functioning properly. Among the symptoms are missed periods, weight loss, dizziness, tiredness, and shortness of breath. You should consult a doctor and book an appointment for a blood test to see how much thyroid is in your blood.

Hi mother breast feeding 16 months child Vitamin d is 5 ng/,ml Kindly suggest Any medicine and how to take

Female | 35

It seems that Vitamin D Vitamin D is lacking in your child's body. This can happen if the child does not spend enough time in nature or does not eat the necessary foods. Low levels can lead to weak bones and immunity. But you don't have to worry a lot as children can be given Vitamin D drops and using the drops once in their food will be sufficient. In addition, sunlight exposure for about 10-15 minutes also helps boost Vitamin D.

It’s good that you’re paying attention to the changes in your body. Sudden weight loss can sometimes be linked to conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, or other underlying health problems. Visit an endocrinologist to check for diabetes and thyroid problems. The doctor may suggest tests like blood sugar levels and thyroid function tests to identify the issue.
