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.

I had GYM without diet and hydration (only one or two water of glass in a day) for 3 months about a year ago and after one month during GYM I had started to face problems like too much stress, Low energy, Chest fat (not gynecomastia), Sleep disturbance, More feminine appearance in my face then I tested my Harmones my testosterone is high by 143 as it's normal range and my estradiol is in normal range. I have high Estrogen symptoms but my estradiol report is normal. This is my problem.
Male | 22
The signs you mentioned can be difficult indeed. Although your estradiol levels are normal, hormonal dysfunction can, however, still be the case. Other factors may also play a role in reduced testosterone levels causing increased symptoms. High-intensity workouts without proper nutrition or hydration can lead to the disturbance of hormone balance. Regarding your problem, focus on a balanced diet, hydration, and suitable physical activity. Besides, this you should also consult an endocrinologist.

I an 24 year old female my T4is 12.90 and TSH 2.73 , T3=1.45 and Hemoglobin=11.70. I there a matter of concern
Female | 24
Hi there, after looking at your results, it seems to me that with a few exceptions, your thyroid levels are normal. Just to mention the numbers, all TSH, T3, and T4 are great, and hemoglobin appears slightly low, enough to cause symptoms like tiredness and dizziness, or lack thereof. Increasing iron intake through food may help boost the hemoglobin level.

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.

Why am I loosing weight even though I eat a lot? Other times I take appetite stimulants and after I gain weight, I loose it within a week or two. Is this normal? Because I actually eat a lot
Female | 27
People associate eating more and suffering from weight loss with potential problems. Some reasons include a fast metabolism, thyroid issues, diabetes, or stress. People who consume appetite-causing agents may appear to temporarily gain weight; however, a quick reduction in body mass could indicate a possible underlying cause. In response to this, continue to consume a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get checked by a medical professional.

I have been on thyroid medication for nearly 8 years. Medicine name thyroxine sodium tablets 25 mcg. 1 tablet daily. In recent report tsh is 6.911 Does the power need to be increased to 50 mcg? Suggest right dose
Female | 47
It's important to note that a TSH level of 6.911 may indicate that your current thyroxine dosage is insufficient. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to colds, among others. A slight increase to 50 mcg may help return your TSH levels to normal. However, any adjustments to medication should always be discussed with your healthcare provider, as they can assess your overall health and tailor the treatment to your needs.

Agr testosterone estrogen ki medicine li jye toh pcos ka symptoms khudi hi manage ho jty?
Female | 23
PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a typical disease which usually combines both the menstrual cycle, acne, and weight and hormonal imbalances. Treatment can be effective when testosterone and estrogen levels are maintained at the right balance. Prescription medications, methods like the change of the way we are living, linked with good nutrition and regular exercise, and sometimes hormonal therapies can be effective solutions.

I am a 38 year old man. In december 2023 I made a blood test and my HBA1C was 7.5%. Two months later it dropped to 6.8%. After 6 months I made another blood test and it was 6.2%. My question is: is it type 2 diabetes? Just for information, last year October and November were very stressful for me. Thanks in advance
Male | 38
Based on the information you shared, it seems that your blood sugar levels have been improving, which is a great relief! Your HbA1c falling from 7.5% to 6.2% over time is a good sign. Stress can also be a contributing factor to blood sugar levels, and thus, it could be one of the considerations. Monitor your health, eat healthy, stay active, and have regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels.

Thyroid high hone se kya bimri ho jati hai
Male | 17
The thyroid gland creates hormones. Too many hormones mean hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, feel anxious, have a fast heartbeat, or sweat excessively. Graves' disease causes hyperthyroidism. Medications lower thyroid hormone levels. In severe cases, surgery removes part of the thyroid. If you suspect hyperthyroidism, consult your doctor immediately. They can evaluate symptoms and prescribe treatment.

It is alarming, as it indicates that your mother is not well. Her high blood sugar level of 217.5 mg/dl is worrying. Missing her evening Diapride M2 500mg dose might be the reason.

Hello my name is Hassan I am 19 years old last 10 days I feel more thirsty and my lips are dry when I drink water within 1 minute I fell thirsty
Male | 19
Increased thirst and dry lips can result from various factors, such as dehydration, high salt intake, or conditions like diabetes. It's essential to stay hydrated by drinking water regularly throughout the day. Additionally, consider incorporating fruits and vegetables with high water content into your diet. However, persistent symptoms warrant a consultation with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying issues. They can provide tailored advice and support.

Female | 19
Enduring prolonged nausea and vomiting can be challenging. While these symptoms may be related to a thyroid condition, thyroid medication alone might not fully resolve them. It's important to discuss these ongoing symptoms with your healthcare provider. In some cases, your current treatment may need additional medications or adjustments to better manage the nausea and vomiting.

Hi I m on thyroid tablets of 125mcg eltroxin My current tsh is 0.012, t3 - 1.05, t4 - 11.5 Should I reduce the dosage to normalise
Female | 32
Based on the thyroid test results, you have slightly low thyroid levels as your TSH is 0.012. Your present dosage of eltroxin may be too high for you; this could be the case. Besides, these might be the possible reasons: you will feel jittery, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping. To correct the dosage, consult your doctor and suggest doing the treatment at the lower dosage to get your thyroid levels back in balance.
