Answered on 28th Jan '25

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 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.

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.
